Judge’s Commentary*:
Brian Wizard's SPACE HUNTS is an imaginative novel made all the more realistic by photographs and the first-person, present tense point of view. This novel takes readers on a wild ride and deep into the mind's eye.
The production values for the book are great. The dark front cover with a spacey light attracts the potential reader's attention right away. The sentence, "We all deserve one big adventure in our lifetime," arouses curiosity. On the back, we see a photo of deer, and the summary of a unique plot. Lovers of alien fiction are sure to enjoy this plot and will be eager to dive right in.
Inside, the author tells us much about himself and how to find him on the Internet. I'm pleased to see this because it shows the author really wants to connect with readers. This is a great thing today. The author is charming and someone readers will want to connect with. I believe he will find many loyal fans over the course of his career.
