The Hypernova Gambit
14/02/2008 . Source: Jessica Martin 
The latest client of the John Jarrold Literary Agency is journalist Saxon Bullock. He has just completed his first novel – an epic sci-fi novel entitled The Hypernova Gambit. Hmmm. Sounds interesting. Buy The Hypernova Gambit in the USA - or Buy The Hypernova Gambit in the UK  Saxon Bullock has been working as a freelance writer since 2000, and has written for a variety of magazines and websites including SFX, DVD Review, Channel4.Com and Hotdog magazine.
"Once in a while I see a novel that grabs me from the first page," John Jarrold told SFcrowsnest.com. "That was the case here, as it was when I read Ken MacLeod’s debut, The Star Fraction, when I worked with Random House in he mid-90s. I knew within the first six pages that I wanted to publish Ken, and I was equally certain within six pages of starting Saxon’s novel that I wanted to represent him. I got that pricking of my thumbs that every editor and agent loves, and sees all too seldom! The Hypernova Gambit is a novel for which the phrase wide-screen SF might have been invented. Its characters, colour, pace and plotlines are truly wonderful, and Saxon’s prose sparkles with invention and wit. This is really special, and stands with any of the SF authors who have risen to the top of the genre in the last ten years."
