This satirical fantasy novel seems to cover some major cruel extremes that humanity is capable of doing. Great review!

I’m not as intrigued by satirical works or plots- although there are aspects of this science fiction novel which sound interesting! Thanks for your analysis!

I am intrigued by the three men's "bizarre" expedition to the nations of Aurumia and Sklabosia. I am curious to see if they will be able to successfully complete their mission and return safely.

This sounds like a very clever satire on modern day politics and the current situation in the US. It’s a shame about all the punctuation errors but I’ll still give this a read.

Aurumia doesn’t sound very fascinating to me, keeping in mind the political puns and other correlations, as I won’t be able to relate. I hope this book reaches the intended audience and is appreciated by them. Congrats on the BOTD!

This book brims with boundless adventure. I ponder the secrets it conceals, the trials they confronted, and whether their journey led them all back home.

First of all, thank you for such a well written review! I am grateful to be forewarned about the “hot dogs.” It’s unfortunate that the book has some editing mistakes, as you pointed out, but I must admit I have quite a guilty pleasure of finding and notating spelling/grammatical errors. I am looking forward to reading this book and to spend some time swept up in a new world!

Robert Millon seems to have creatively written a satirical novel on current affairs. Imaginative adventure fiction to find the lost world of Aurumia seems to add a different and interesting take to the satire genre. I am reminded of Animal Farm. You have written the review very well.
Congratulations on the BOTD!

The lost world of Aurumia and Sklabosia are waiting to be explored. I hope the lessons that these three friends cum explorers learn are worth the investment in time and finance. Above all, I hope they will return to their everyday life intact after this exploration. Thanks for the review.

The visit to Aurumia and Sklabosia seems adventurous. I'm curious to find out what Steve, George, and Bob found out there. I really like the premise of the story .
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

An adventure expedition to find a forgotten civilization appears to provide a satirical examination of modern society and politics. Readers who appreciate fantasy that explores socially relevant topics might enjoy this book's satirical approach.

"Aurumia" by Robert Millon. Talks about three men. Steve, George and Bob, they have a mission in Aurumia and Sklabosia, the mysterious nations hidden from our modern world? But Steve on his own side has a different agenda. Who knows if is for the good or bad. Congrats on your #BOTD.
