He states that 'Answers Do Exist', and proves it by supplying amazing solutions to amazing problems.

A sentence or a phrase will hit you with an insight so real and so deep it will shake a whole corner of your being. I also want to say that that the climactic battle between Virulius and Divinar is an out-and-out classic.

But more than just a good read, this is the most thought provoking novel I have ever read. Giovia has his hooks into a big fat idea he calls Contextual Geometry, and believe me it is fun to watch him work. Maybe the best thing I can say about Attack On Cellius is that I read it twice.\" Phil Ruger\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is an 'underground' novel in the classic sense - a next generation vision circulating near the surface of the Zeitgeist.

This is the best sci-fi novel I have ever read - it makes you think, it makes you smile, and then it flat out astonishes you, again and again and again. It is not for everybody, but if you are ready, this is the ride of a lifetime. I want more!
