"As these are historic times, many
works of literature are bound to be inspired. Campbell's Sunshine
Patriots deserves attention as such a work."--Kim
Thorpe, Boston's Weekly Dig
"A jazzily written, satirically
tinged story."--Bill O'Driscoll, Pittsburgh City Paper
"[Bill Campbell has] founded an
entirely new literary genre."--Pamela Zoslov, Cleveland
Free Times
"Sunshine Patriots is outrageous
and brilliant. Its characters will intrigue and enrage you; its story
is as familiar as an old shirt and as wondrous as a soothsayer's
vision. Few authors have both the skill and the chutzpah to push the
frontiers of science fiction this far, and this well."--Kavita
Philip, author of Civilizing Natures
"A real page-turner, and very
thought provoking besides. I didn't want to put this one down. Every
scene played out before me like a movie. This was a very good book.
The characters were well developed and three dimensional. I got into
them right off. The setting was also very well developed. I could
almost smell the alien colony while I was reading. Good work. Bill
Campbell is a name to watch. I predict more good books from him in
the future."--Dan L. Hollifield, Aphelion Review
"In his debut novel, Sunshine
Patriots, author Bill Campbell presents an oppressive
techno-corporate political machine presiding over a Unified Earth,
unified primarily in its abject poverty and desolation. The book ...
portrays an Earth as global slum, from which forced enlistment in the
armed services constitutes the only "escape" for the
brutalized classes. Rife with dystopian themes, Sunshine Patriots
also reveals a wry and literate sense of humor (a lead character, the
Jamaican war hero Aaron Edmund Barber, known as "the Berber,"
nominally evokes two of Shakespeare's most compelling villains), a
sure ear for slang and the expressive richness of subculture, and an
intriguing sociopolitical motivation. In other words, unlike in the
bulk of the sci-fi canon, it isn't always the Anglo/Asian who saves
the day, and it isn't always the black guy who gets it in the
neck."--John Rodat, Metroland (Albany, New York)
