    Simple... everyone e-mail Stanik, his agent, and his publisher with the single body text "We feel that Robert Stanik needs to stop posting false reviews."


    No mail bombs, no repeaters, just a simple, polite message, once a day, for one full year.


    That should get the point across nicely.

    @nachtwulf: Does he even have an agent or publisher, though? Anybody can POD a book onto Amazon these days.


    If he does have a real publisher, this is the perfect idea.

    I should point out for completeness' sake that I'm not entirely convinced Stanek has posted any 1-star ratings of my books on Amazon. There are a couple of them floating around, but not enough for me to believe that there's a pattern to it. As shocking as it is for me to contemplate, I think it's remotely possible that some random readers out there just didn't like my books. I know, I know! Implausible in the extreme, but it could happen. ;-)


    Mr. Rothfuss, however, is another story. Seems like a pretty obvious review-bombing campaign to me.

    Perhaps this is something R.O.A.C.H. should deal with.

    Perhaps the io9 crowd needs to do some creative "reviewing" of Stanek's books on Amazon?

    George R. R. Martin, eh? Meh.


    Jordan? Hahahaha... sorry, all respects to his estate, but I'm not going to finish the WoT series.


    Stanek? Not anymore, no.


    Sock puppets?
