Reviews and Interviews have appeared in: Robert J. Sawyer, author Dr. Rhonda Low, TV host Tricia Ares Eric Joel Bresin Christine Whitcher Ha Nguyen Leigh Rowling C. Gilbert M. Voute Midwest Book Review Lynda Williams Thomas Duff "An exciting novel...an engaging read...a thrill ride that makes us think and tugs the heart." - Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author "Loved Darwin's Paradox!… A good neurology refresher for me!...The story is intricate…imaginative, and intelligent…The medical and scientific [premise is]…completely plausible and perhaps our fate…Sign me up for 'neurgery'." - Dr. Rhonda Low, TV host "If you read the acknowledgements at the front of Nina Munteanu’s latest book, you’ll realize Darwin’s Pradox is more than just a fast paced eco-thriller. Among others she thanks her high school English teacher, A.E. Whittal, for teaching her 'the importance of metaphoric writing.'" - Tricia Ares "A stunning example of good storytelling with an excellent setting and cast of characters." - Eric Joel Bresin, Tangent Online (re: Angel's Promises). "Munteanu asserts her mastery of the sensual SF romantic thriller. An unforgettable read that's immensely alluring, surprising, and heart-throbbing." - Christine Francine Whitcher, Yet Another Book Review Site (re: Collision with Paradise). "From the start, I was spellbound by Nina Munteanu's perceptive yet unobtrusive writing and the intriguing, breathtaking storyline. The book's gripping atmosphere always felt compellingly real." - Ha Nguyen, All About Romance (re: Collision with Paradise). "Munteanu presents a very intelligent story, with fantastic world-building...an intriguing tale." - Leigh Rowling, Romantic Times (re: Collision with Paradise). "Munteanu is clearly a writer with big ideas. And those Big Ideas make up the things that are both best and worst about Darwin's Paradox. The future North American world is extremely well developed — the novel certainly succeeds well at world building." - C. Gilbert, Amazon.com "I followed Angel's family through Nina's descriptive imagery, finding myself grasping for information just as the main characters did. And, just as they, I was never sure till the end! I loved the distinctive person / machine linking story lines and though I admittedly was forced to slide over some jargon, I fully enjoyed the plot to the end. Read it!!" - M. Voute, Amazon.com "An intelligent virus and an intelligent machine conspire to sieve North America's largest city, then spread world chaos - and the only woman who can save humanity is the one who began the virus. Her return to the city she once fled will lead to a different kind of revolution in this involving story of change, perfect for any collection appealing to avid science fiction readers." - Midwest Book Review "Darwin's Paradox is rich with real science and people who care about each other, whether in a good way or a bad one. Lovers of techno-thrillers will enjoy the blend of super AIs and biological AIs bent on meddling with mankind. At the same time, Darwin's Paradox injects hope into a post holocaust type of setting threatened with a typically SF scenario of doom. Munteanu writes with energy and a lively sense of joy in her work." — Lynda Williams, Author "It's a great work for a first-time novelist (if Amazon's listings are correct). I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another one of Munteanu's books when and if it comes out..." — Thomas Duff, Reviewer
