Vegas Knights is a smart, slick, noir fantasy. If Elmore Leonard had written Harry Potter for grown-ups, it would read something like this. - William King<br><br> Matt Forbeck's work is unfailingly well-plotted, tightly paced, and imaginatively realized. He juggles humor and pathos with a deftness that defies literary gravity. I'm a huge fan. - John Kovalic<br><br>Praise for Amortals: <br> Amortals (to paraphrase another sci-fi writer who, in my opinion, has nothing on Matt Forbeck) blew down the walls of my imagination. It then stepped over the smoking rubble, seized me by the throat and kicked my ass. Was this your first novel, you bastard? Holy crap! - Billy Campbell, star of The 4400<br><br> It kicks like a mule & whispers sweet nothings in your ear like Mike Tyson in a boxing match. - Ben Templesmith<br><br> an action-packed thrill-ride with the occasional sucker punch to the brain you won't see coming. - Monte Cook

Where directors need millions of dollars in special effects and stunts, Forbeck uses language to much greater effect. - The Ranting Dragon <br> Overall this is a fresh and suspenseful Urban Fantasy novel. It is great entertainment, and if you have a taste for fantasy in a contemporary setting this is definitely wo
