Lacy Dawn is a true daughter of Appalachia, and then some. She lives in a hollow with her mom, her war-damaged dad, and her mutt, Brownie, a dog whose hobby is laying fiber-optic cable. Lacy Dawn's android boyfriend, DotCom, has come to the hollow with a mission. Armed with advertising videos of proto-humanoids, he has been sent to Earth by the Manager of the Mall on planet Shptiludrp. DotCom must recruit Lacy Dawn to save both planets, and he must help her with a boatload of shopping at the mall along the way.
Half science fiction, half social commentary, and a third half satire, Rarity from the Hollow is a rare mixture of humor and wry observation woven into a quirky and unexpected SF tale. If Marvin the Android wanted to read a book about a colleague who'd risen to the top of their profession, Rarity from the Hollow would be it.
"Eggleton is a rare treasure, and Rarity From The Hollow is a stay-up-late page-turner. I loved it. Please, sir, can I have some more?" -- David Gerrold, author of The Martian Child
"A darkly weird, weirdly dark metaphysical romp into the impossible, Rarity from the Hollow disturbs and delights at each absurd twist." --Matt Morris, author of Nearing Narcoma
"Lacy Dawn is my kinda gal, and Rarity From the Hollowis my kinda book. Set in rural Appalachia, it dishes up courses of the offbeat, the unusual, and blends them into a superb main course of good storytelling. This book tells me that we'll be hearing much more from Robert Eggleton, much more, and it won't come a moment too soon for me." -- Ed Williams, syndicated columnist of Free Wheelin' and author of Rough as a Cob
"The mixture of sci-fi, gritty reality, humour, and the mode of thriller reminds me a great deal of Dean Koontz's writing, and Robert Eggleton may indeed have the potential to follow in Dean Koontz's footsteps."
-- Kevin Patrick Mahoney
