Jay Caselberg - Wall of Mirrors

Metal Sky

The blend of science fiction with mystery offers satisfying elements of both.

[Caselbergs] storytelling is brisk and accessible; it never loses your interest.

Nicely written.

SFRevu

Wyrmhole

A fun, fast-paced SF mystery.

Booklist

Fascinating and well-imagineda terrific read, combining all the elements of great science fiction: originality, speculation, and consequence.

Julie E. Czerneda, author of Regeneration

Complex, layered, black as night, unputdownable.

Stephen Baxter, Hugo Awardnominated
author of Transcendent

Jay Caselberg weaves SF with mystery for a new spin on the PI genre. In a fluid, dreamlike world where everything is changing, Jack Stein, psychic investigator, uses sharp-edged dreams to solve a case of miners vanished off a distant planet. An adventurous romp of a first novel, Wyrmhole keeps you guessing. The Philosophers stone and alchemy shift into the digital age.

Wen Spencer, Compton Crook Awardwinning
author of Wolf Who Rules

Just when you think no one writes classic science fiction anymore, Jay Caselberg comes along with a novel that harks back to the Golden Agebut with a dark, noir undercurrent that is firmly of todays cutting edge. The Locality [is] a brilliantly imagined organic urban structurea truly unique science fictional environment. [Stein is a] Philip Marlowe for the post-cyberpunk age. Wyrmhole is an ambitious, bleak, both entertaining and thought-provoking science fiction novel for the twenty-first century. It comes highly recommended and carries with it the promise of great things yet to come.

Dusk

Fans of futuristic crime thrillers like J. D. Robbs Death series will definitely enjoy Wyrmhole . Science fiction fans and readers who like private investigator tales, especially those who appreciate a strong convergence, will enjoy this futuristic urban noir.

Midwest Book Review

A fast-paced SF crime thriller with an unusual twist to it. The concept of a city that continuously renews itselfis very nicely done. Also the way in which Caselberg ties the entire mystery in with alchemical and Cabalistic symbolism is particularly impressive.

Emerald City

Wyrmhole has all the ingredients of a first-class SF-mystery crossover: a technological brainteaser with semimystical overtones, investigated by a man with little to lose but a whole lot more to gain and a dogged determination to succeedvery well written. Caselberg writes with an easy, flowing style; his characterization is vivid and lively, his description is terse yet evocative, his dialogue is consistently in-character and believable.

The Alien Online

Caselbergs writing does have appeal and Wyrmhole successfully holds your interest. Theres all sorts of room for Caselberg to improve upon what hes started here, and I think future installments will be worth keeping up with.
