This article fails WP:BOOKCRIT. The only sources presented are the book itself and the author's own website. It was created by Silkfield (talk · contribs), along with a number of other highly-related pages, who has declared a close connection to the author. I cannot find any information about the publisher. --Netoholic @ 22:17, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re: merges - There is nothing in this article that is independently sourced, so no content can be validly merged. The Author's article already has it listed in the Bibliography section. Post-deletion, a redirect to prevent re-creation can be used, but the content as is should be WP:TNT. -- Netoholic @ 18:36, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Colin R. Turner per above; no independent references. The book itself is an acceptable reference for a brief plot summary. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:27, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
