I've been meaning to interview Edelman ever since I read his scifi debut, Infoquake ( Canada , USA , Europe ) last spring, but I wanted to wait till I was done with the sequel, Multireal ( Canada , USA , Europe ) before doing so. So here is a very interesting Q&A with the author. Give Infoquake and Multireal a shot, by the way. You won't be disappointed! Patrick ---------------- - Without giving...

One thing's for certain: With his debut, Infoquake ( Canada , USA , Europe ), David Louis Edelman set the bar pretty high for what would follow in its wake. After referring to Infoquake as "one of the very best science fiction debuts I have ever read," I was wondering if Multireal could possibly live up to the potential established by its predecessor. Edelman wastes no time...

I received a copy of my very first book blurb today. It appears in MultiReal , by David Louis Edelman, and is excerpted from my review of Infoquake , the first novel in the Jump 225 trilogy.
