Switchback, which was a mixture of psychological suspense and science fiction, met with mixed critical reception (Booklist gave it a starred review and called it "fine little genre-bending adventure,"[1] but Publishers Weekly called it "less than credible."[2]). Nevertheless, it was nominated for the 2007 Best First Novel award by the International Thriller Writers association.[3] Con Ed, which was the second novel that Klein wrote (but in some countries was published before Switchback), was generally critically praised. Its review in The New York Times called it: "funny, full of tricks and very, very hard to put down."[4]
Career as Software Entrepreneuredit
Klein founded several software companies in Silicon Valley in the late 1990s. These included Release Software Corporation and TechPlanet. He also started Generation X Software which released the Macintosh shareware program Guy Friday.
