Reader Comments : "The Seeker In Forever"
Posted on Amazon.com
Christine Whitmarsh
Author, "One Citizen's Words"
With his "The Seeker In Forever", Alan Fox explores a contemporary take on classic utopian/dystopian science fiction fantasy akin to the masters of the genre, Huxley, Orwell and Rand. His style of sensory storytelling stimulates the reader's imagination from page one. The figurative language makes `Seeker' a pleasant page turner, packed with sociopolitical themes that are both compelling and thought provoking.

David Silverman
Author, "Typo"
I try to judge books on achieving what they set out to do. Mr. Fox set out to write a story about how the world rewards celebrity and money and blocks anything that is significantly out of line with the main from getting any attention. He achieves this.
He highlights that this issue isn't about some big media monopoly enforcing its own rules (although there's plenty of that in the book), but that it comes down to everyone who wants to see and hear what they are used to seeing and hearing.
To tell his story, Mr. Fox uses a non-traditional writing style and story technique. Akin to the central theme of the story, this will either make you enjoy the book or leave the club and complain to the manager. And that is a brave move and worth giving a look at.
