A review of NEQUA found in Foundation: The International Review of Science Fiction is now circulating. It is quite well done. Foundations is published in England.  Here are two quotes from the review.

Mark Esping, who serendipitously came across a copy on a bookshelf and not hidden away in an archive, has meticulously researched the few clues that remain as to the authorship and inspiration for Nequa”

“.Nequa mediates between the dual American desires for an economically robust nation within a pastoral setting: ‘Not withstanding all the evidences of a highly cultivated country and the most active traffic and trade between the different sections, we nowhere discovered any indications of great cities… nowhere did we see vast clouds of smoke such as vitiate the atmosphere in the large cities and manufacturing districts of the outer world’ (p. 118).”

I also contacted The Midwest Book Review, which provided a pleasant surprise.  I dialed the phone number and a man answered the phone. It was Mr. Cox himself. He was not only pleasant but extremely informative.  I followed his advice and a review of NEQUA appears in the October on-line issue of Small Press Bookwatch.

If anyone knows of some other places I should contact for reviews or places to place reviews please send me an email. 

Send an email to your entire email list telling them to buy NEQUA at Amazon.com or from KC Metro Books, listed on biblio.com.
