Check out the following testimonials from Joe McKinney, Jon Sprunk, Stephanie Wytovich, John Dixon, and Simon Kurt Unsworth:
“There are two ways to read a Lawrence C. Connolly novel. If Vortex is your first encounter with Connolly, just strap on your seat belt and enjoy the ride. He has a knack for writing compulsively readable action that will have you turning pages as fast as you can and will leave you panting for air by the time you’re done. But if you’ve been following this cycle from its beginnings in Veins and Vipers, you know that there’s a deeper side to Connolly, one that comes only from slowing down and taking a leisurely swim in the mastery of his prose. Few writers understand their characters with the same depth, and empathy, that Connolly does. He leaves me in awe. Every time. I am a Connolly fan through and through.”
—Joe McKinney, Award-winning author of Dead City
“With the Veins Cycle, Lawrence C. Connolly creates a world that is eerily familiar to our own, but with hidden surprises around every turn (and page). Writing with power and precision, Connolly evokes sights and sounds that haunt us. Vortex is a book you won’t be able to put down.”
—Jon Sprunk, author of Blood & Iron
“Connolly delivers a fast-paced mystery with a heavy helping of magical realism that will lose readers in a mystical and frightening world that they won’t want to slither out of.”
—Stephanie M. Wytovich, author of Hysteria and Mourning Jewelry
“Delightfully dissonant. Unbridled imagination meets impeccable storytelling. Connolly is amazing that way, like the bull and the matador rolled into one. His work is crazy imaginative and yet absolutely sane in its delivery, reminiscent of other masters of dissonance such as Clifford Simak and Philip K. Dick.”
—John Dixon, author of Phoenix Island
“Vortex is the fiction of Wurlitzers and rollercoasters, of fire, of violence and monsters, but it’s so much more than that. This is gleeful, intelligent stuff that deserves the widest audience possible. It’s a hell of a ride and I, for one, cannot wait to see where Connolly takes us next.”
—Simon Kurt Unsworth, author of The Devil’s Detective
