From Educators:

 

“I direct Upward Bound @ SUNY Canton, a program for low income high school students that prepares them to go to college and to achieve success in college and afterward.   I purchased your book for one of the young men in our program.  We have had some trouble motivating him to read.  He loved your book and asked if you have written other books.”

--Daun Martin, SUNY Canton, 12/07/29 

 

“While waiting in the hall for someone, I saw the Saviors Among US: Situation Critical paperback by Marc Spicer poking out of the book binder of a student. I asked him how far he’d gotten in reading it, and he said, “about halfway.” I mentioned to him that I had read it and liked it, and he said, “YEAH! A friend told me that it was REALLY GOOD and I HAD to read it!””

--Deborah Greenwald, Teaching Assistant, 10/29/09

 

“Saviors Among Us: Situation Critical was the most requested book for September and October.”

--Mary Putnam, Middle School Librarian

 

From Parents:

 

“Today we celebrated my son’s 12th birthday.  He was given (a video game system), video games, remote control cars.  He snatched (Saviors Among Us: Situation Critical) out of my hand and read it cover to cover.  Everything else sat in the corner.”

--Terry, Malone

 

From Adult Readers:

 

“It was a pleasure to read.  Plenty of  suspense and action and I would rate it stronger than some of the recent comic book stories that I have recently read. I enjoyed the plot very much and thought the main characters were great. I would have loved more back story on them, but I am sure you have plans for more books and will be expanding on that in future stories.”

--Jon

 

From Young Adult Readers:

 

“My favorite character of your book is Future-Shock. I liked how he is a fat kid, but he looks really skinny. I was mad when you almost killed him off. But am glad you did not. Your book is an action packed thrill ride. I will not be surprised if this makes the theaters. I recommend this book to 7th grade boys to read this book.”

--Zac, Malone

 

“I believe that the book (Saviors Among Us: Situation Critical) by Marc Spicer is a nice read for people of all ages looking for a book to read. It takes true genius to write a book such as this with a relevant story plot and enthusiastic literary design. My favorite part of this book is the reference to the comic books that Marc had written years before writing this novel. I would suggest reading this to anyone who likes to read about science fictional characters.”

--Lucas, Massena

 

“This could be the next Harry Potter.”

--Ethan, Boston

 

"I'm not quite through with it, but I just had to get a hold of you to tell you how impressed I am with it so far... I like the human aspect you gave to Edwards. Sure he's a superhero but on the inside he's an average man. I'm also pretty sure I've never seen a hero go through a midlife crisis also."

--Brad, Malone

 

From Vendors:

 

“We need more books, we are out!!!”

--Chez Madeline, Malone

           On Friday, July 17th, Marc had the honor of meeting Ethan Fisher from Boston.  Ethan was the first reader to complete the book and offer feedback.  Marc autographed a copy of the book for him as well as a copy of The Malone Telegram article about the book. 

           Ethan was very eager to gain some insider info about the sequel that is already in development.  He was given a bunch of Burger King’s free breakfast sandwich and Whopper Jr. cards.
