Literary Sci-Fi Novel Released on C&R Press

What If a Wall Is Built?

A post-apocalyptic America, fueled by bigotry and the unintended consequences of technology, blooms behind a walled city in Spectrum, a literary sci-fi novel from award winning writer Martin Ott.

SPECTRUM, Sci-Fi Novel, C&R Press 

“Martin Ott’s Spectrum is a wonderfully thought out jump down a futuristic rabbit hole filled with tantalizing imagery, rich characterization, and well crafted prose. I wasn’t sure where it would all lead but trusted that in Mr. Ott’s capable hands, it would not disappoint. Hang on tight, you’re in for one hell of a ride.”

– Dani Kollin, Prometheus award winning author of The Unincorporated Man.
