   I beleave in the first edition this book is subtitled ‘A parable.’ Contained in this book is a system of morality that doesn’t usually reatch the public eye. Read it, and read it again. Then research all the referances you didn’t get. Then read it again. Repeat untill your eyes open up real big and you see what was right in front of your … face the whole … time, but you just couldn’t/wouldn’t see.

   At this point, you can claim to have achived satori, and laugh at/beat up/mugg all the buddists you know.

   Enjoy!

   Also, the author is/was a math teacher at a public high school, let that implacation sink in for just a bit.

   A friend described this book to me as X-Files meets The Terminator. That’s about right. Usually I don’t go for this much gore and violence. But I do like the sort of thing X-Files does when they leave you dangling with mysteries even thouygh they gave you enough to theoretically figure it all out. If you like both blood and guts and that you’ll like this even more than I did. That is if you think these things can be crossed. But I think the author did a good job of doing that.

   I’ve read this book more than once and each time I find myself absorbing more exciting information and graphic realisms. As an Art Director and Graphic Artist I can relate to the artistry invovled. Subiaga has a twisted, deranged, unsettling sick sense of imagination along with an intelligent and convincing storyline. He must have been locked in a closet most of his childhood and let out only to read and eat! He portrays an eerie and realistic atmoshpere for you to escape to when reading this awsome adventure. When you finish the book you don’t know whether to love, hate, help or mutilate Kabal. He is even more deranged than Subiaga and yet you can’t forget him. I’ve read some of the other reviews and I have to agree that there is a sense of Terminator mixed with Sci-Fi enigma. Bravo Bobby to a job well acheived and hopefully we will continue to have more adventures for us to experience and live in the future!

   I doubt you’ve read a novel like Robert W. Subiaga’s Eyes. The book encompasses all of the aspects you’ve come to expect from a well made thriller–gripping action, hidden motives, plot twists, and a bloody, climactic conclusion–but takes the genre a step further into realms rarely explored by modern novelists. In Eyes, as in much of Subiaga’s work, science, technology, and violence are not merely means to an end; they are vehicles to provide insight into the nature of all things, animate and inanimate alike. The novel’s anti-hero, Matthew Kabal, combines aspects of both the Terminator and the Dalai-Lama to generate thought-provoking revelations uncommonly found in even the most provocative articles on popular science and religion–all in the midst of white-knuckled, page-turning action. The book is a wicked mix of the violent and the metaphysical, guaranteed to be a unique experience. If you’ve read and enjoyed this book, you can find more of Subiaga’s fiction in issue #1 of Darkling Plain, the magazine of literate speculative fiction.

   Another reviewer lent me this book and while I don’t quite share his negative feelings, neither am I that impressed. There were some good ideas in here but frankly I came away from the book not really caring about any of the characters. I did think that while some of the characters were interesting, the dialogue was portly and pompous. The female character was not really believable and the most of the characters seemed really two dimensional despite the overblown dialogue. All in all, this was a fair book.
