WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT AEGIS RISING
" In her impressive debut novel, S.S. Segran wields a skillful pen that transcends her youth by crafting haunting prose, vivid imagery, and a well thought out plot to cast herself into a mix of young authors to watch. It is obvious, from the very first chapter, that this is the work of a talented writer who possesses an enviable imagination along with the intelligence to mold it into an absorbing story."
~ Christopher Gill - Amazon Reviews ~
" Astonishingly Imaginative and thoughtful...the book should be read both quickly and slowly - quickly in order to enjoy the rapid sledding of the plot and slowly to mull characters and ideas. Aegis Rising sets a festive narrative table and makes the reader eagerly anticipate a sequel."
~ Samuel F. Pickering - Professor Emiritus of English, University of Connecticut & Inspiration for the film Dead Poet's Society ~
" FIVE STARS! Unique and compelling. Delivers on every level... perhaps the best sci-fi adventure I have read all year!"
~ Katherine Bennett - Readers' Favorite Book Reviews ~
" An extraordinary effort... all the more amazing given the author's age. I was especially gratified by the way she used the teen
protagonists' close knit relationships as the backdrop against which the dramatic events in Aegis Rising unfolded, without having
"love interest" or other typical teen story devices hijack the underlying theme of the book. She's a real talent!"
~ Red Grammer - Grammy Nominated, Award Winning Producer ~
" RIVETING! Aegis Rising takes you on an intriguing ride through mysterious northern forests and mist covered mountains to corporate boardrooms and global schemes. Prepare to be swept away on a breathtaking journey! "
~ Honore Gbedze - The SAGE Foundation ~
" FASCINATING! Aegis Rising is a unique, story-driven novel. A great read... the pages keep turning."
