Clive Cussler, NY Times bestselling author, said that the Samson Effect is a "first class thriller brimming with intrigue and adventure." Coming from an author with over 100 million books in print, that’s big for a new author to get.

Also, my publisher, iUniverse, has given the Samson Effect its coveted Editor’s Choice and Publisher's Choice Award. It has also recently been awarded the Reader's Choice award.

iUniverse chooses only those titles that have the essential qualities of a professionally published book to be part of it's Editor's Choice program. The Samson Effect went before an editorial board for consideration. Since the book met the board's high editorial standards, it received the Editor's Choice designation.

It also received the Publisher's Choice award. Publisher's Choice represents those titles that my publisher believes can compete on a commercial level with any book in a bookstore. This is the honor I am most proud to have received.
