Re: Review of Aurumia

Post by Christopher Sublett »

Aurumia is a novel fueled by mystery and adventure that is found in a lost civilization that is governed with politics similar to modern society. The author, Robert Millon, takes us on an expedition with Stephen Mazard and his two companions to explore this lost world and hope to return back home safely, unlike their predecessors. Thank you for a great review. Congrats on BOTD!

Sounds like an extremely intriguing read. I do like how the author creates fictional countries and uses them to try and pass across a message about societal ills. An excellent #BOTD and a very informative review, kudos.

I love the adventure and finding out what the other world looks like. Risky? Yes. Fascinating? Yes. Would I undertake such a risk? Possibly. I'm already glued to the plot. The errors are quite unfortunate. Great and honest review! Thank you.

When I read the FB post about this book, I thought it was bizarre. So it's interesting that is what you open your review with. I also thought that it must be a really contradictory work of fiction. But I see there's an interesting dose of real-worldness about it.

Aurumia and Sklabosia, the mysterious nations hidden from our modern world sound exciting. I am curious to see what Steve George, and Bob discover and how it changes the world. Congratulations on BOTD.

Robert Millon's book Aurumia is about three men who go on an enigmatic expedition to find a long-lost civilization. The main character, Stephen Mazard, is looking to invest in the obscure countries of Aurumia and Sklabosia. In the novel, characters are depicted as racists and barbarians, and a hot dog is described as the country's dish.

In this novel, a group of men embarked on a journey not only to invest bus also to find treasure in a lost civilization. I'm not fond of reading satire, especially those only focused on American politics and capitalism. However, I may change my mind after reading the sample. Congratulations on the BOTD.

The story features an expedition in obscured, mysterious nations. The most interesting aspect is the satirical portrayal of our American society.

Steve and his companions went in search of a lost civilization, but found instead lost barbarians with a penchant for racism.

This story will better be represented as a movie. I like the title though. It is catchy. Congratulations to the author on winning BOTD.
