Praise for 7th Son

“7th Son is breakneck storytelling at its absolute best. Characters — dark, duplicitous, and fascinating — stalk through a rich techscape that’s so real, so plausible, that it compels and haunts the listener. The book is relentless in its pace, brilliant in its execution and just so damned entertaining.”
–Patrick Lussier, director of White Noise 2, Dracula 2000 and editor of Red Eye, the Scream trilogy, and other film thrillers

“7th Son is the first in a new age of thrillers: it combines the suspense and technical accuracy any adrenaline addict craves with the imagination and scope of the best science fiction.”
–Stephen Eley, editor of Escape Pod - The Science Fiction Podcast Magazine

“Not only does J. C. Hutchins put together a great story in his 7th Son trilogy, but he’s successfully cracked the code of building a loyal following. While J.C.’s story may not be predictive of the future, his approach to making his work available is absolutely — he’s a pioneer and publishing will trail in his wake or be forgotten.”
–Michael A. Stackpole, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, Talion: Revenant, Fortress Draconis and A Secret Atlas

“7th Son’s opening episode is the ’shock and awe’ of podiobooks — the first five minutes will have you hooked.”
–Scott Sigler, author of sci-fi horror novels Infected, Earthcore and Ancestor

“7th Son blends the verve of Philip K. Dick with the slick modern storytelling techniques of Lincoln Child.”
–Jesse Willis, editor for SFFAudio.com

“J.C. has done with tact, skill and sheer talent what others have done by banging drums, over-hyping and brute force. Always humble, he’s created a community of zealots not by whipping them into a frenzy, but by giving them what they want: an incredible, well-told story they can relate to —- and want to see grow.”
–Evo Terra, co-author of Podcasting for Dummies, co-founder of Podiobooks.com

“7th Son, Book One: Descent kicks about 187 different kinds of ass.”
–John C. Snider, editor for SciFi Dimensions

“7th Son is the kind of thriller that blurs the lines between fiction and reality. With flair and finesse, J.C. Hutchins tells a story that refuses to let you go until the words ‘The End’ are on the horizon.”
–Tee Morris, co-author of Podcasting for Dummies and author of the MOREVI fantasy saga

“J.C. Hutchins helped create an entirely new storytelling medium — he’s a true pioneer. The action and thrills of his 7th Son trilogy keep us glued to our earbuds, while his seven unwilling heroes capture our hearts.”
–Matthew Wayne Selznick, author of Brave Men Run

“J.C. Hutchins is carving a swath toward mainstream media -— and he has the audience size to prove it.”
–Earl Newton, creator of Stranger Things, first science fiction anthology series shot and released in HD on the Internet

“7th Son elicits strange behavior in people. The attachment to characters makes people cry, the tension causes them to scream in frustration when the chapters end, and the action keeps them up at night. 7th Son does what every book should do —- it makes the reader feel; it makes the reader care.”
–Mur Lafferty, co-author of Tricks of the Podcasting Masters, author of Playing for Keeps and the Heaven fantasy saga

“There will be copycat events popping up to emulate Hutchins‘ Obsidian ‘Blackout’ event… (Obsidian) will set a new standard in blog and multimedia integration.”
–Lorelle VanFossen, The Blog Herald

“I like the idea that ‘a panicked message’ from an excited fan could wind up in the pages of Hutchins’ next novel. (Obsidian’s ‘Blackout’ event) is like an ARG that actually means something.”
–Annalee Newitz, io9.com
