It will leave you thinking about the hard realities of the temporal and eternal, and that's the best kind of fiction there is." – Mike Maden, international bestselling author of the Drone Series and Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Jr., novels

"Written with a rare authenticity, Gavin Reese's novella 'The Absolver' hits hard and leaves an impression on both gut and heart. These pages also hold the promise of much more to come from this author. I know I'll be the first in line to see where this story and character go next." -- James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of the Sigma Force series and Unrestricted Access
