Praise for Transfection:
"An old-school science fiction story that reminds me of the Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits." - Shane Ede, Novelnaut.
"I laughed out loud at some of the antics as I was reading. Transfection is well worth the price-tag...yet another well written and, dare I say again, thought provoking, tale from David Gaughran." -- Heather L. Faville, Doubleshot Reviews
"Very strong images...a haunting quality...I totally did not expect that ending. I really didn't see it coming...I recommend this to people who enjoy well written sci-fi.." -- LE Olteano, Butterfly Books
"Transfection is terrific and well worth the 99 cents." -- JA Konrath, bestselling author of The List.
