Editorial Reviews

Review
Dabbling in the occult, Marlowe must unravel the mystery of his missing ex-girlfriend while struggling with his current obsessions: Fiona, a fiery lolita, who will do anything for an extra buck, and Isabelle, an artificial intelligence with a jealous streak as cold and wide as a space highway. --Entertainment Today

This is an excellent techno-romp that moves along at such a pace to keep things interesting and edgy. If you like futuristic cyber-thrillers with style, class and quality then this book is a must-have. A delight to behold. --BlogCritics Magazine

Whilst it definitely squeezes at least one foot in the pigeonhole of horror, Moon Age Daydream is horror at its best, with the sort of realism that imagination can't invent. --The Magickal Review

Product Description
In a desperate attempt to flee his past failures, Marlowe becomes embroiled in a capricious and reckless love affair with Fiona, a volatile nymphette illegally working the naughtiest casino in town. But freakish holograms and ominous clues bespeak of dark tidings when Marlowe slowly uncovers a sinister plot to turn his ex-girlfriend Celeste into something 'more human than human.'

4.0 out of 5 stars Scarier than it looks, September 8, 2007
By Sara Q. "Sara Q." (Syracuse, NY) - See all my reviews
My husband gave me this book which he picked up from a comic convention, and I read it because I really liked the cover--and I like books about AIs. The futuristic language was difficult at first, but then I realized there is a dictionary at the end and after awhile I didn't need that either. But the end gets way scarier than I thought--almost like a horror movie....I generally don't like horror books, but I suppose it did make the end more intense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clockwork Orange on acid, September 23, 2007
First of all this is a difficult book at the beginning. The language is estranged at first due to the complete newness of the at times baffling slang and lingo, but the highly visceral and panoramic world of Moon Age Daydream soon turns out to be quite accessible when it comes to human emotions, and as much as I enjoyed the language by the end of the book (no longer even needing to look up the words in the Lexicon after about the halfway mark), I feel the strongest point is understanding the male psyche after a break up.

It seems like an intensely personal book. Once I realized that, I warmed up to the language which I at first thought cold and overly-cerebral. But in inverse proportion to the character Celesete's slow transformation from sweet high-school girl into _spoiler here_, the language seems to warm up and congeal and actually seemed perfectly natural by the end of the book.

And believe me, after the first 5 minutes of this book I thought I was going to give it the worst review ever, so I'll just give a heads up to be patient...but because this a book with a lot of edges, both stylistically and emotionally it won't be for everyone. There were some things that were quite beyond me but with whatever flaws I noticed it's a lot more original than anything I've seen in eight or nine years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can gritty sci-fi be romantic and horrific?, September 13, 2007
Because this books seems to be just that, which really took me by surprise since I expected a fluffier book than it is.

At first I hated it because I didn't know it was written in futuristic slang. Then I got into it anyway because the writing is tight and fast and yet still somehow poetic. Then I fell in love with the AI character Isabelle, and then I realized there were some really freaky subtexts going on which I can't even get into without major spoilers. Definitely pick this up if you are sick of the usual sci-fi and want something with some edge.
