From Charlotte Mair at Artvilla
Good day to ya Sara.
I just received your story CD in the mail and put it into the computer and it runs fine..no problems..I just had a quick look..The art on the front page and the first page is very impressive. I read into it a bit... the start of a very different story indeed. I like the way it just starts right in... I enjoy getting involved with the character, relating, the emotional side of things. I like to know how the character
is feeling.

Reviews for "Spiders and Gliders"

"Spiders and Gliders" by Sara Russell is a sci-fi electronic novel that breaks new ground in both plot and delivery. Set in the future where Europe has become a left-wing confederation, the tale follows the adventures of the glamourous, Dutch spy, Hannie Peters. The antagonist, Greyston Powell, is a multi-faced villian -- literally -- one not met in any other novel, for he wears a visor which displays various holographic faces.
But the unique attributes of this book goes far beyond imaginative writing. The Kedco Studios CD ROM format has provided this author a showcase for her many talents. Russell not only penned the novel itself, but also created the artwork and background music. Rarely has an artist been able to flesh out a story so completely by creating not only a fictional universe, but also clothing her creation with visual and auditory enhancements to better reveal her world. If you like imaginative sci-fi in a sweeping format which just a decade or two ago was itself sci-fi speculation, then you must pick up "Spiders and Gliders."
