About the author

I have had a long career as a professor (28 years and counting), and I am at the podium still. I am also a lifelong fan of science fiction.

I plan to add new installments to my Voided Man series several times a year for the foreseeable future.

Best series ever

This entire series is riveting. I absolutely could not put these books down and anxiously await the next release. This is a series that I hope goes on and on. I normally get bored and do not complete full series. No cliff hangers, which I am incredibly grateful for. I love it.

I was unsure how I felt about the story being told from Al's perspective, but this volume turned out to be one of my favorites since the first of the series! Al has always been one of the best characters, and now I love him even more! Definitely my most favorite series! Keep them coming, Anthony Dean!

Plodding and Mundane

I loved book one of the series. Book two dragged and I quickly gave up on the third. I only started this one because it's about Al, the AI. I really like AIs such as in Ian.M.Banks books. But Al is just too nice, too wholesome. I need edges, archness something more than just being a good guy.

Love for this series is rekindled

Some of the books in the series strayed a bit too far from the original story for my liking. I'm glad to see that this one has brought it back. Can't wait for the final entry.

Remarkable

I loved book #1 and thought the author had made a mistake in continuing the series. I'm about to start book #7........
