5 STAR REVIEWS ON SMASHWORDS:
Astounding prophecy of man’s future. It marries the
vestiges of ancient knowledge, both human and alien, to free man from his
perennial kindergarten. Even… to create life! A book to be read, and reread. I
did!
There
seems no end to Stan Law’s inner/outer travels. In his
book, the line between the physical and the metaphysical becomes strangely
blurred. I think the point he’s making is
that there is only one all-encompassing reality, but he leaves it to us to
discover this fact on our own. (Marvin D. Clark, Montreal)
After reading this book, each time I go to sleep, I hope
to wake up at the next step of our evolutionary scale. What an extraordinary
marriage of physics and metaphysics! No religion, yet an antechamber of heaven
on our doorstep. Extraordinary. Thanks, Mr. Law. (Bohdan Czytelnik, Poland)
Many a future has been predicted by a host of religious
and sci-fi writers. But Stan Law, once again come up with the most original one
I’ve read so far. Keep writing, Mr. Law! PS. John Galt is a classical hero,
Beta Mulligan would be the son every parent would wish for, and Delta is
absolutely out of this world! (Sylvester Drake, Smashwords)
I read it in four days. Hard to put down.
Although we witness a
high-speed chase still within the Solar System, with some extra-planetary
air-to-air torpedoes wheezing by, this is not your usual Sci-fi—at least not as I know them. In sci-fi I’ve learned to expect monsters, fighting strange creatures,
murder galore and mayhem. What a glorious change to have an accomplished author
of Stan Law’s stature show us that none of these are necessary to give us a
fast-paced, exciting adventure. It feels like going back to early Heinlein’s or
Bradbury’s novels. Welcome to the realm of science-fiction Mr. Law. I hope
there are many more to come. (Anetta Bach, Smashwords)
A strange malaise imbues most of the human race. People
become more placid, more complacent. They develop a strange predisposition for
endless slumber, which seems to drain them from any desire for constructive
behavior. The human race is dying.
Commander John Galt is given a slim chance to save
humanity. Putting his life on the line, he ventures into the vastness of space,
where he gains access to a reality that reaches beyond his wildest imagination.
If he survives the mission, he might hold the key to human salvation. He might
hold the Gift of Gamman. (Adam Kerry, Canada)
I read this in proof form. Now, I’ll read it again. It’s
worth it. I took this from the description: “You will laugh and you will cry,
but most of all, you will be amazed. Perhaps, flabbergasted! It will stretch
you imagination to outer limits, and beyond.” Every word it true.
And on the top of that,
the man, Stan Law, is a poet! (BozenaH, Smashwords)
Amazon Book Reviews:
"»Gift of Gamman« is a great science fiction novel
with wide range of different themes that make the book very dynamic and
interesting to read – it has everything from science fiction to adventure,
mystery, spirituality, suspense and a lot more – so everything what you expect
from any good fantasy story. The author creates a future world and presents it
to us in such a way that it really enables you to fly there. And that is only a
beginning…
The story has interesting plot, great characters, dynamic
happenings, surprises and overall, it is well written, entertaining, exciting
and most important - it really draws you into it and takes you to a new world!
I would highly recommend it to all fans of science fiction novels." --

"I’ve read sci-fi many times and after reading Gift
of Gamman I am compelled to conclude that this author puts both the “sci” and
the “fi” in sci-fi, in a highly original way that can’t possibly be duplicated.
Where does Mr. Law continue to repeatedly and without end come up with such
uniquely fresh perspectives, settings and characters? Read Gift of Gamman and
then go back and start working your way through his other books, too. Undoubtedly
a poet and quite obviously a dreamer and a thinker, Gift of Gamman is the
latest mind-blowing literary roller coaster I’ve ridden from this author.
John-Adam is a beautiful character and I was caught up in the astonishing
heroics and depth of this character. I would love to think humanity has the
future advancements and evolution described here ahead of us. Mr. Law’s
exquisite tale is magical beyond the elements of plot, intrigue, humor and
intellect he brings to the page because I finished this book wondering if what
he describes here just might be possible. Thank you for the “crash cart” this
book was to my imagination." -- M.L
