". . . A taut, muscled novel which exposes, painfully and by degrees, the process of moral corruption-in bureaucratic organizations and in individuals whose lives are controlled by them . . . . This novel reveals many faces of alienation in contemporary America." -- Dr. Sue Ann Johnston, Western Washington University and Simon Fraser University (Adjunct)

"A horror novel in which the monsters are not just human beings but social forces, where blood is spilled . . . in freeze frame agonies of compassion." -- J.G. Eccarus, The Stake

"Gold . . . has a grip on many of the predicaments, characters, and tendencies which contemporary fiction is concerned with." -- The Small Press Book Review

"It is as if Kafka and Orwell have conspired to present us with a cautionary tale of an American future . . . with deceit behind every desk and death lurking near every file cabinet. At long last the great novel of bureaucracy has been written." -- David Willson, author of REMF Diary and The REMF Returns
