Symzonia: Voyage inside the Earth

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

Originally published in 1820, Symzonia is the first novel to explore the then emerging theory that the Earth is hollow and contains an advanced civilization previously unknown to us. The new Rebel edition includes additional contemporary material exploring the alleged author and his theory.The tale tells of Captain Seaborn’s expedition to the North Pole to discover the entrance to the hollow earth. A classic early work of utopian fiction (perhaps the first American example), Symzonia is also a great seafaring tale complete with a mutinous crew member. Seaborn discovers the entrance to the Earth and finds inside our planet a technologically advanced civilization.

5-Star Review: Stealing Ganymede

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

J. Warren’s debut novel, Stealing Ganymede, received a 5 -star review at Rainbow Reviews. The reviewer writes:  

In the tradition of hard-hitting books such as those by Chuck Palahniuk, “Stealing Ganymede” delivers an honest and thought provoking portrayal of a damaged man and the choices he makes. With vivid imagery and gritty prose, the author has created a stunning story. While occasionally delving too deeply in the history of literature and writing style, this book left me thinking and will continue to muse on for a long time to come. This is in no way a romance or an easy book to read and as I said earlier, it shouldn’t be but this is a book you should definitely read.
