 "A novel that makes you think and laugh ...Taylor does an amazing job at keeping the reader hooked through this political satire..." Fay Gibb, Goodreads, BookBub

"... a sparkling satire ... a political comedy the reader can enjoy whatever their partisan affiliation." Cecelia Hopkins for Readers' Favorite

"... In Taylor's futuristic world, the rich, as ever, enjoy every privilege and the poor struggle to make ends meet. The plots, conspiracies, and revelations are embedded in a culture and politics dramatically familiar to today's socio-political climate. The pacing is smooth and plotting tight.  Esmeralda's quest rockets the plot along toward an unexpected yet satisfying conclusion. Taking a subtle yet savage swipe at current political climate, Taylor weaves in a political satire with much food for thought on environmental concerns, poverty, and war.  Lighthearted and fun, the novel makes for a page-turning read." The Prairies Book Review

"The First Robot President's dialogue, which composes much of the text, is riveting and realistic ... Robert Carlyle Taylor's skill in writing dialogue and exploring the ethics of having a robot as president make this novel an intriguing dive into pertinent topics." IndieReader

" ... From the very beginning, the story pulls you in. The world-building and character development make you feel part of the world. The plot itself was eye-opening ... It's definitely a ride to a more realistic future of our society." Gisela, Goodreads

"... an atmospheric and entertaining roller-coaster ride with high stakes. Plenty of twists and a satisfying finale make it an engrossing read." BookView Review

"... a very enjoyable book and one that I've already recommended to a friend. The mix of politics and economics were fascinating ... a well-thought-out novel."  Judge, 8^th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published eBook Awards (refers to eBook edition)
