| | Article: The 2003 John W. Campbell Best New Writer Award Finalists: Who, What, and Why?, by Greg Beatty |
| | If you visit the website for the Campbell Award, take some time to review the list of authors who debuted in the past two years, and their qualifications. | | | I must first admit that I have not read all published works by all of these authors, but on the other hand, I have sought out works by each of them, and already been responsible for judging some of their works. | | | These types are drawn from a range of genres, and that adds energy; the scientific action/thriller and P.I. premises blend seamlessly with the romance plot, which is why it earned a second place in the Sapphire Awards (for science fiction romance). |

| | Add Reed Arvin to my list of favorite authors. | | | Reed Arvin sets the tone of his dramatic legal thriller with a strong, intriguing opening sentence, combining the familiar with the unfamiliar as he does throughout the novel. | | | Reed Arvin's Blood of Angels is a refreshing tonic to such pulp, with calculated characters and powerful prose that is topped off with a strong twist in the form of a scintillating ending. |

| | Amazon.ca: Books: Bitter Waters |
| | Wen Spencer has officially made my list of automatic "must-have for the keeper-shelf" authors. | | | Although it's rather heavy with plot elements, "Bitter Waters" is a captivating thriller with a variegated cast and starring one of the more intriguing characters in fiction. | | | It is a difficult feat to write mystery/suspense stories in a science fiction setting but Wen Spencer pulls it off, in large part because her story is deeply rooted in our own familiar world and set only months into the future. |

| | With this new book he is not quite up to the standard of my favourite works of his, but its still better than a lot of modern thrillers dealing with the same subject. | | | It almost feels like the cast list of a TV show. | | | Still, these flaws aside Bond & Defelice have crafted an entertaining, fast paced, lean, contemporary thriller that is a welcome return for the man who's put his name to it. |
