Praise for The Resqueth Revolution
The Resqueth Revolution is a compelling mix of hard science fiction and horror. The story starts quietly with a simple job interview that turns out to be anything by simple. And you quickly find out tht nothing and no one is as they seem. While not ofor the faint of heart, this gritty, unflinching, and complex tale is a must-read for horror/hard science fiction fans- - - and those who just like a terrifying tale, told well.
If you like to be scared until the hairs rise on your neck when you read science fiction, you’ll love this book. Mark Phillips has created a fascinating, scandal-driven scientist in his character, Steven Marks, and he’s put him in a more-than-adequately evil world. Even the skeptical will be disturbed by dialogue like, “You’ve brought meat.” A great read.r

Praise for Hacksaw
"Weird clients are nothing to new to Houston PI Eva Baum. Hacksaw is the tale of how she might be forced onto the trail of a brutal serial killer whose case has turned cold. Eva is close to taking it out of that file and not everyone is excited about her snooping about, not even the law itself - but Eva is determined to discover the truth anyway, not for money, but because she must know. A riveting read from first page to last, "Hacksaw" is highly recommended to community library collections dedicated to suspenseful fiction."

"Hacksaw immediately pulled me in. It is one of those books that has so many twists and turns that you won’t want to put it down... I don’t think that we have heard the last of the Phillips and Phillips writing team."

"Hacksaw is at once a slam-bang page-turner and a sophisticated, unusual mystery story. I fell in love with Eva Baum, the novel's sassy, straight-talking, thoroughly modern narrator/sleuth. A terrific debut for the Phillips/Phillips team."

"If you believe in the 'one great female detective per city' rule, then believe this: Paula Woods' Charlotte Justice runs LA, Laura Lippman's Tess Monaghan owns Baltimore, and Eva Baum - the P.I. in Hacksaw - is all you need to know about action, mystery and thrills in Houston."
