Nice review of Historic Walks of Regina and Moose Jaw
Much to my surprise, there’s a big review (in the newspaper itself, it comes with a giant image of the book!) of Historic Walks of Regina and Moose Jaw in today’s Leader Post. Edward Willett has cobbled together a walking guide that will appeal to history buffs and those with a keen appreciation for architecture. …
Another nice blog review of Marseguro
A Livejournaler who goes by the handle of queenlyzard lists Marseguro as a recent read and writes: I picked this up because I adored Willett’s last book, “Lost in Translation”…and this one certainly didn’t disappoint. It’s the tale of two worlds–a future Earth run by religious zealots who frown upon messing with nature… and a …
A nice five-star Amazon review of Marseguro
Just spotted a nice five-star Amazon review of Marseguro from a reader in New York who goes by the catchy handle of lb136: Marseguro, a colonized planet inhabited by normal humans and Selkies–genetically modified by a scientist named Victor Hansen–would seem defenseless when the theocratic earth government (The Body) sends (with Hansen’s grandson Richard as …
A nice mini-review of Marseguro..
…has turned up at the Science Fiction Book Club, where reader Zachary Harvey calls it a “Great Book, Well Written, Well Worth Buying”: This is a very good book. The plot is logical and flows well, the author is descriptive but not too descriptive, and the story seems to take on a life of its …
Nice review of Marseguro at SciFiGuy
Doug Knipe at SciFiGuy.ca has just posted a very positive review of Marseguro. Key paragraph: Taut well visualized action sequences abound and the main story is drawn to a satisfying conclusion but leaves the door open for next years’ sequel Terra Insegura. Readers of series such as Julie Czerneda’s Species Imperative should enjoy this intelligent …
Another good review for Marseguro…
…this time from Fantasy & Sci-fi Lovin’ Book Reviews. Some highlights (of a fairly lengthy review): “The way Willett has pulled together military technology into this story is fantastic. It’s like space opera and military SF got together and had a love child, or something equally as fascinating… “It’s an action-packed ride filled with creepy …

Nice blog review of Marseguro…
…from Ken McConnell. Here’s a bit: Well developed characters with clear motives prevailed in the story and once the plot got going, it rolled right along at a nice clip right to the end.Ken was one of the winners of a copy of Marseguro from my give-away when the book first came out, so I’m …
Another Marseguro review…
…this time from the Eclectic Writer blog. Generally favorable, concluding with: With good characters and an interesting story that looks at very difficult issues that are important to the world we live in today, Willett managed to elevate the story to a good read. What I saw as its flaws in story telling were not …
A nice little Amazon reader review of Marseguro:
One D. Raymond of Weld County, Colorado, writes: This book was a good science fiction read. The author develops a couple of traditional themes, what it means to be human and colonizing a new world away from the politics of the old world. It has good action scenes, smarmy villains that you love to hate …
Nice blog review of Marseguro…
…from Ian over at Marturia.net. Highlights: The book is well-plotted, the action and reveals flow nicely along, keeping the reader interested…The ethical dilemmas presented echo those of Lost In Translation – racism, prejudice, tolerance, violence as a means to an end, fanaticism – but are put in play in such a way that the reader …
