The Phoenix Egg was written by Richard Bamberg and published by Invisible College Press. I didn’t love this book, but I didn’t hate it either. I think it has potential, but it needs a good edit. There are lots of sentences like this one in the book - “Him aimed for the center of the wall and squeezed off six quick rounds.” At one point, the main character’s name was wrong. The plot got lost in descriptions and technicalities a few times. I felt like these things detracted from the book. ( )
