"Excelsior was refreshingly original and fun, adventurous, a definite must-read. "
-- Ann Charles - Award-Winning Author of "Nearly Departed in Deadwood," AnnCharles.com
"...the next great young adult sci-fi hero..."
-- Teresa Jusino, Tor.com

-- Martha A. Cheves - Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat
"Excelsior by George H. Sirois is the kind of book that NEEDS to be read by more people. He doesn't have the marketing push that far too many lesser literary projects get from the big publishing houses. He doesn't get the all-expenses paid book tour. But what he does have is far more important. A novel that is rich on story and character."
-- Steve Gustafson, 411Mania.com
Put down the pen. Pick up the sword. Unleash the hero within.
Matthew spent years creating the ultimate comic hero. He never dreamed the true hero would be within himself.
More Praise for "Excelsior"
"Whether in New York City, or on the planet Denab IV, George is able to take the reader there seamlessly... Excelsior is ideal for anyone who enjoys science fiction..."
-- Jessica Subject, MarkoftheStars.com
"The story unfolds in a complex and compelling manner that soon had me caught up in the action and wondering what evil adversity would be revealed next..."
-- Laurie Jenkins, NightOwlReviews.com
"Sirois did something that I have yet to see in a Sci-Fi novel. He gave me action and right in the beginning! There was no character map, there was no heavy exposition, there was no excessive description and all of this allowed me, the reader, to take the story to new heights..."
-- Tony Acero, 411Mania.com
"Excelsior takes off with an accelerated pace that surprised me! I could not put the book down... With his talent for writing, George has managed to change this reader's genre of choice."
-- Claudia Jackson, NovelHelp.com
"Excelsior is definitely aimed toward the young adult reader, but it is well written enough that even adult fans of science fiction will enjoy it. "
-- Eric Swett, Author & Reviewer
**If you enjoy nostalgic cartoon-inspired science-fiction, you should also check out Toonopolis: Gemini by Jeremy Rodden**If you enjoy comic book style adventure, you should also check out Darwin's Children by Natasha Larry!**If you enjoy humorous fantasy satire, you should also check out Doodling by Jonathan Gould! Very original, engaging, and endearing/almost touching. A very solid entry, one of a handful of the best sci-fi entries I've read. Really enjoyed this and would look forward BOTH to the development of the Semminex character and Matthew's character. :)A quick interesting hook was a very stong element in this exerpt. It is well developed in the short time and left me wanting more. The fact that I was hooked into not one but 2 storylines already is an added bonus. I like the characters so far (not sure of the name Semminex), and the world creates was great. The author did a good job of creating a world and new words without becoming confusing or dampening the flow of reading.***In celebration of the Indie Book Blowout, Excelsior and hundreds of other titles are on sale for 99 CENTS through Labor Day!****
