Praise for Revolver

    Top Short Story of 2015 , The Leighgendarium

    “Revolver by Michael Patrick Hicks, however, takes the ‘shocking’ gold medal. A classic example of social science fiction … most gripping.” - David Wailing, author of Auto

    "[A] truly gut twisting, heart wrenching, sphincter squeezing tale of loss and abandonment that stuck with me long after the last page." - Anthony Vicino, author of Time Heist

    “This story, you should print out and give to your friends and family. You should read it aloud at book club meetings and you should dissect with strangers at the bus stop. This story is freaking amazing.” - Stephanie Lehenbauer, Novel Commentary Review of No Way Home  

    Praise for Convergence
    An Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award 2013 Quarter-Finalist
    “ From the opening page of Convergence I was hooked. The dystopian world building is well done and the descriptions are vivid. The technology is imaginary and different...great characters and plenty of suspense/action.” - Nicholas Sansbury Smith, author of Extinction Horizon and the Orbs series
    “Convergence is fast-paced, full of action and a thrilling ride from start to finish. There is violence, depth of feeling, explosions, car chases and tenderness. The book has everything and is perfect for those who like their SciFi gritty, edgy and realistic.” – J.S. Collyer, author of Zero
    “[A] smart splice of espionage and science fiction. ... frighteningly realistic. Well-drawn characters, excellent pacing, and constant surprises make this a great cautionary tale about technology and its abuses.” - Publisher's Weekly
    “A cyberpunk thrillride through a future America under Chinese rule. The conflict between the humanity of the main character, Jonah, and the things he has had to do to survive in this harsh new world makes ‘Convergence’ an absolute pleasure to read.” – SciFi365.net

    Praise for Consumption

    "Consumption is one of the most horrifically intriguing novellas that I've read for quite some time....a quite different tale of horror that resonates feelings of dread and shock, very well written, some great ideas and some darkness around the invention of various culinary delights." - Paul Nelson, SCREAM Magazine

    “Your stomach will turn, your throat will restrict, and jaw will clench tighter than a bull’s arsehole in fly season.”   - S. Elliot Brandis, author of Irradiated and Once Upon A Time At The End Of The World

    “…wonderfully macabre! Cleverly thought out, I was both disgusted and excited by this tale. This a MUST read for horror fans.” - Great Book Escapes

    “Hicks takes the reader to some twisted, nightmarish places and if you’re a horror fan with a strong constitution, add Consumption to your reading list – you won’t regret it.” - Teri Polen, Books & Such

    “Consumption is wonderfully paced and a real treat for horror fans. … I read it with the lights off and my Kindle screen turned up, and it was a totally immersive and satisfying experience.” - Franklin Kendrick, author of The Entity series.
