Here’s what people are saying about “Brave Men Run — A Novel of the Sovereign Era” in all its different forms…

“A great read, a real page turner. This book could be a bestseller.”
Henry Baum, author of “North of Sunset”

“Well written, with great dialogue… utterly convincing.”
Rev-Up Review

“Amazingly good… I’m totally hooked! Matthew’s prose is clean and true…”
– Jesse Willis, SFFaudio.com

“This book rocks. It’s engaging, the characters are robust… “Brave Men Run” is the finest podcast novel I’ve listened to… A solid story made even better by an exceptional performance by the author, it serves as an example of what a self-produced ‘podiobook’ can be. You won’t be disappointed.”
Evo Terra, author of “Podcasting For Dummies” and founder of Podiobooks.com

“I thoroughly enjoyed “Brave Men Run” for its sympathetic characters, its eighties nostalgia, and its comic industry in-jokes, as well as its thoroughly entertaining story! If John Hughes had written the X-Men films, this is what we would have gotten.”
– Steve Wilson, Prometheus Radio Theatre

“…This book… has completely captivated myself, my wife, my 11 year old daughter and my 14 year old son. Told as a revealing and personal narrative, the story is dramatic, well paced, intriguing and very accessible. It’s also a great blast from the past for those of us who were in high school and/or college in the fabulous 80s!”
– B. Press via Amazon.com (Five Star Customer Review)

“The 80s feel is realistic across the board, and the voice the author gives to Nate Charters… is on the mark. Children of the 80s will enjoy the references, comic book readers will enjoy the references to the ’silver age’ of comics, and the story is enjoyable to boot.”
– Patrick Holyfield, author of “Murder at Avedon Hill,” via Amazon.com (Five Star Customer Review)

“Very entertaining and captivating. Part sci-fi novel, part coming of age story, part the story of a boy and his missing father, it hits emotions on every level — anger, laughter, sadness, love — right on target.”

– Timothy Dodge via Lulu.com
