PRAISE FOR THE LEVER:
"Unique space thriller, with good character development, surprise twists and turns,
and a fascinating (terrifying?) antagonist at its heart! I enjoy a good story set
in the future that explores different realms and ideas. This did not disappoint."
-- Damian Serbu, author of The Vampire's Angel
"I really got caught up in this eerie sci-fi adventure....There is as much wonder
here as there is fear, and that careful mixture made this book a special read for
me." -- Ulysses Grant Dietz, queerscifi.com
"Mark Salzwedel's "The Lever" is a thought-provoking journey through a future
where technology and human identity intertwine in unforeseen ways. Salzwedel
masterfully crafts a narrative that challenges our understanding of autonomy,
connection, and the essence of humanity itself. The novel's richly developed
characters, set against a backdrop of advanced technological landscapes,
navigate a series of events that question the boundaries between man and machine.
The compelling themes and speculative insights into future societal and ethical
dilemmas keep the reader engaged. Salzwedel's exploration of the potential impacts
of genetic engineering and cybernetic enhancements on personal identity and
societal structures is both intriguing and alarming, making "The Lever" a must-
read for fans of speculative fiction." -- nitrilevulcan on Amazon.com
