E.G. Manetti is a master world builder.

Like all authors, I bleed a little inside at a bad review and rejoice at a good one. Then there is the 'omg. I don't know if it's really that good, but I'm so glad he said it' review. Yesterday, The Cartel - The Apprentice Volume 1 received just such a review from 4-LAN, one of my favorite bloggers (and yes he was a favorite before the review).

The most ego stroking bits: "The writer has created a science fiction story rich in complexity and depth, while crossing into the romance and erotica genre ... reminded me very much of Dune ... Manetti pays tribute to this masterpiece, while making this work original with a storyline that bears little other resemblance to the source of its inspiration."
