Praise for Mike Miner and The Immortal Game

“Not a wasted word, but the story still manages to be filled with heart, great characters, and lovely writing. “

—Patti Abbott author of Home Invasion and Monkey Justice

“What I like about Mike Miner’s writing is that he strives for beauty and at times he strives for poetry. At times he’s elaborate, at times he’s rococo, and at times he crashes, and at times he burns, and at times he takes flight. Infuse this with hardboiled crime and it’s singular, it creates something unique.”

—Anonymous-9, author of Hard Bite

Spare, razor-sharp prose, deftly drawn characters and a switchbacking plot drive The Immortal Game. There’s no shortage of blood and brutality but it’s the surprising humanity that Miner finds in even the worst of his characters that gives this mob story a unique twist.”

—Roger Smith, author of Dust Devils and Sacrifices
