    The Ugly coverRodin's Thinker reading The Ugly

    "I can't write a blurb that will do this justice. The Man Who Saw Seconds is everything I want in a book. I absolutely loved it, and you need to read this."

    Rob Hart

    Author of Assassins Anonymous

    "One of the most dazzling and inventive books I've read in a very long time—a novel I continue to describe as indescribable. I've now read the book twice, and I can't decide if it's a thriller, a farce, a political commentary. I don't know what it is other than I love it."

    Writers at Work

    "Wickedly smart, outrageously funny, and unsettling in its accuracy. The satire is pointed, and the action is non-stop. Think: Elmore Leonard meets Nabokov, Michael Crichton meets Vonnegut, Carl Hiaasen meets Joseph Heller. And it has what is probably the best gunfight in literary history…The Man Who Saw Seconds is destined to be a classic and, with it, Boldizar's place as one of literature's most important satirical writers is assured."

    Kevin Winchester

    Author of The Sunflower Dog

    "The Man Who Saw Seconds is an action thriller that is genuinely thrilling: the pacing is perfect, and the stakes ratchet up in a horrifying, relentless, and seemingly inevitable progression...I hope this can be genre-spanning, and that it gets the attention it deserves from every awards list, science fiction and not."
