Vessel

-- "Creepily Brilliant!"

-- "Smart and funny (and thrilling too!)"

-- "A razor-sharp sci-fi romp that, like the best speculative fiction, is really a sly, funhouse reflection of the world today."

-- "You're confronted with some disturbing moral choices, but left laughing out loud along the way."

-- "I was intrigued on page one and hooked on page two. After the first chapter I couldn't put it down."

-- "Reminds me of some of T.C. Boyle's more outrageous novels, darkly funny, slightly preposterous and yet so so possible."

-- "Hilarious and haunting, spinning us into a future that makes today look like a cake walk."

-- "Reminiscent of Margaret Atwood's speculative fiction."

-- "It's a short hop from today's obsessions with youth and surgically-enhanced beauty to total body recycling, at least for the top .01 percent."

-- "One minute I'm completely creeped out and horrified. The next I'm laughing. And yes, feeling a little guilty for doing so."

-- "If you like a fast read, with wit and incredibly interesting characters and more plot than you can shake a cosmetic surgeon's knife at, you'll love The Vessel."

-- "Sign me up for renewal at The Hughes Renewal Center. I want my own vessel. Hell yeah I do."

If you enjoy Margaret Atwood, Robin Cook, Philip K. Dick or Neil Gaiman you'll love Rita Kempley's THE VESSEL.
