Critical Praise

“Stewards of the Flame is a brave book, and the numbers of those holding to the sentiments it conveys are growing. While the novel portrays extreme measures taken to prolong life to reductio ad absurdum lengths, it can’t be faulted for challenging our comfort zone, when after all, that is one sure measure of worthwhile fiction.”

——Carlos Aranaga, ScifiDimensions

“Extremely entertaining. . . . A cautionary tale that Big Brother is coming through the government medical complex.”

——Harriet Klausner (Amazon.com #1 reviewer), Midwest Book Review, January 2008

“The story is compelling, and drew me in from the first few pages. . . . Stewards of the Flame is a thought provoking novel that may make you question the authority and direction of modern Western medical practices. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading genre fiction with some substance to it.”

——Anna Creech, Blogcritics

“Inspires a lot of thought-provoking ‘what-if’ questions. . . . An excellent novel to read just for pure enjoyment, however, I would highly recommend Stewards of the Flame to bioethics classes. It will certainly lead to some stimulating conversations.”
