World renowned illusionist (and Toronto neighbor) Jay Sankey generously plugs Octopus Intelligence in his November newsletter:
“For any of you who enjoy books about espionage, make sure this one is at the top of your holiday wish list. Tim was kind enough to let read an advanced copy of Octopus Intelligence and I honestly couldn’t put it down. An absolutely fascinating read!”
Guernica Editions has posted video of the Octopus Intelligence launch party on Facebook and YouTube:
