Got this delightful surprise yesterday - an exceedingly kind review from the great mind of M. C. Armstrong. "Johnson’s memoir brilliantly straddles the fence between the starry-eyed marketing of Mortenson and the chilly exposé of Krakauer." THANK YOU!!

"X-Men meets Battlestar Galactica, yet wholly original, Changelings: Insurgence is a meditation on progress, knowledge, duty, love, loyalty, and, above all, what it means to be human. Urgent and heartfelt, and a gripping ride." - Me! Congrats Liam Corley on an epic debut!
