Roswell or Bust ReviewHenry Melton just won the Darrel Award for his first novel Emperor Dad. Melton is a writer who has traveled all over the United States and across many countries, and has just begun to put those travels to good use in the form of Young Adult Science Fiction. He started the Small Towns, Big Ideas series with Emperor Dad and followed it up with this month's Roswell or Bust.
Joe Ferris, a teenager trapped in the family business, wants to see the country. He hates his life because all his siblings seem to have escaped the life of helping out in the family's Railroad Motel in Las Vegas, New Mexico. When one of the regulars "John Smith" disappears suddenly leaving behind a strange device that looks like a remote control (but not his room key), life quickly becomes un-mundane.
Joe meets John Smith's daughter, Judith, who, even though she is mute, has a knack for leading Joe into strange situations and then leaving him stranded. The story takes us all over the Southwest exploring the secret bases set up by Men in Black suits who are keeping the country's biggest secret--the alien survivors of the crashed spaceship of 1947.
The secret society known as the Trust, is falling apart at the seams because the well-loved and respected leader is losing his health and his son has not garnered the same loyalty as he took the helm of the Trust.
Reading Roswell or Bust will give let you enjoy Science Fiction, even if you haven't been a big fan in the past, and will clue you into why Melton was chosen for an award from the SF community in his first outing as a novelist. It's a great escape (and not only for the aliens who've been kept captive for many decades). (Actual rating = 4.75.)Roswell or Bust OverviewTeenager Joe Ferris was raised to help guests -- he was third generation in the motel business -- but once he connected with mute Judith, they were off on an epic thousand mile road trip through the Southwest, all to help the most unique guests of all -- the Roswell aliens stranded far from home since 1947.With the Men in Black hot on their trail, and discovering that the aliens had more tricks up their sleeves than their captors had ever discovered, Joe and Judith have to wonder just who is taking whom on the ride of their lives!

Prophecy ReviewI enjoyed reading this mystery thriller. This book puts Silverstein and Kipling in another suspensful situation in which Lopez and the CIA must get involved. The characters are strong, plot believable. Since I do all my reading at night before bed, I really appreciate short power packed chapters. I could hardly put the book down. Looking forward to another book from this author, with perhaps more emphasis on Kipling's character.Prophecy OverviewIn 1889, one of the worst environmental disasters to befall the United States occurred in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. More than 2,200 people died when a poorly maintained sporting dam gave way and destroyed the town.

Only minutes before the catastrophe, a nineteen-year-old girl enters a church in Johnstown, puts a letter into a bottle, and places it inside a safe. In the year 2009, that safe is unearthed. The letter reveals that the author knew of the impending flood. At the same time, laboratory experiments in Russia have far-reaching implications. In what could prove to be the scientific discovery of the ages, researchers uncover a rare genetic mutation that could scientifically explain the clairvoyant powers exhibited by prophets of old.

At the epicenter of the ensuing maelstrom, Dr. Victor Mark Silverstein, the Naval Research Laboratory's preeminent scientist, and his loyal assistant tangle with greedy U.S. senators, the CIA, and a Middle Eastern organization for verification and control of the "prophecy gene." The hunt begins for a present-day carrier who could confirm the gene's potential and prompt development of a synthetic replacement. At stake is theological chaos for the world's religions—and the power to control the planet.

Tainted Trail (Ukiah Oregon, Book 2) ReviewTainted Trail is the sequel to Alien Taste and continues the adventures of Ukiah Oregon. When Alicia, a close friend, goes missing in Oregon, Max and Ukiah fly out to try and find her. They quickly discover that Alicia's disappearance is a kidnapping and begin a race against the clock. In their search for her, Ukiah finds out that he may be the legendary Wolf Boy that was lost in 1933. He tries to contact the Kicking Deers, who wrote the original newspaper article and offered a reward for information on Magic Boy, but they think he is another fraud and refuse to speak with him. Meanwhile, Max begins to fall in love with Sam, a private investigator whose ex-husband refuses to believe the marriage is over, and discovers that there have been many unexplained deaths in the area. Is there a link between Alicia and the other deaths? How are the Kicking Deers involved? What is Ukiah going to do with his "father" Rennie when he comes out to protect him? Another great mystery featuring Ukiah Oregon.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I got very attached to Spencer's characters in Alien Taste and was excited to see them again in this book. Ukiah is a fascinating combination of innocence and deadly skills. Readers will enjoy learning more about Ukiah as he slowly discovers who and what he is. It was also great to learn more about Rennie, Ukiah's main Pack contact, and his past. Max Bennett finds a love interest this time and starts to come alive again after his first wife's death. Sam is the object of his affections and I look forward to learning more about her because she is one tough lady. I did miss Indigo and Kittaning in this book, though, as they were back in Pittsburgh.
Wen Spencer has a nice, smooth writing style that reads very quickly and easily. She has a great plot that keeps you glued to this book and many subplots that add to, rather than detract from, this book as a whole. For those of you who haven't read Alien Taste, I highly recommend that you do (because I like to read series in order), but, if you haven't, you can read this book and understand everything because Spencer gives nice synopses throughout. However, it does not detract or bore those readers who already know what she is talking about. Tainted Trail has lovely characterization, nice descriptive details, an exciting plot line - in short, this book has it all!Tainted Trail (Ukiah Oregon, Book 2) Overview

PW2: 2012 The End of the Beginning ReviewIf you like Michael Crichton, Carl Sagan, Tom Clancy, and Dan Brown, you'll love this book. It's got Crichton's unique imagination with a scientific flair, Sagan's ability to explain science facts easily and with a sense of awe and wonder, Clancy's thrilling in-depth drama and action, and Brown's puzzles and layers of mystery within mystery. Combine all that with Dr. Strangelove's black comedy and sarcastic humor and you've got PW2.
It's an entertaining yet serious take on the 2012 prophecy. Sometimes, I forgot it was fiction and got rather spooked. I couldn't tell where real science left off and the fictional stuff began. This book had me believing this was an actual reverse-engineering of a new scientific discovery. The author expands current science / quantum / probability theory and crafts a suspenseful tale that is believable and riveting. Super well written - I liked the many quotes, and the way the author lays out the story, easily describing the science back of it all and at just the right level of detail. The dialogue is spot-on. The humor is like a spicy dish that gives you a hint of the heat and spice, but then lets you slide by as you enjoy the full flavor, and then it hits you a few seconds later - very cleverly done.
This book is funny, sarcastic and witty. The characters are lively and fun to watch as they are buffeted by the crazy happenings and try to figure it all out...in time. This is a refreshing new spin on the 2012 end times mania - the plotline isn't predictable and there are some surprising twists and turns that made it a real page-turner for me.
PW2: 2012 The End of the Beginning OverviewIt's been coming at us for 13.7 billion years. In the beginning, it made everything possible. In the end, it promises to do the same.
Something extraordinary is happening yet everything looks the same. On April 1, 2011, the world notices but doesn't understand. Something fundamental is changing with the universe. Incredibly, something is different about probability. A Big Bang probability wave, generated at the primal moment of cosmic inflation, pulses towards an unbelieving humanity from folded dimensions. Ex-professor Hamilton Ray discovers a wild, unfinished theory about a cosmic Probability Wave in lost notebooks. He studies in secret for fear of ridicule but abandons his research until the theory mysteriously resurfaces 20 years later on a website for the bizarre. As the world rushes to all possible explanations for the periodic strange days impacting Earth, Hamilton becomes the unlikely linchpin of tremendous consequence. Synchronicities place him under federal house arrest at Caltech where he backs into an already crowded spotlight. Hamilton and his Caltech team contend with a fateful countdown about to end, bizarre extremes, and chaotic chance while wrestling with doubts. Experts universally ridicule the theory, but Hamilton is driven to finish it. The implications, if true, are astounding. The peculiar PW2 theory might prove that consciousness is paired with probability the same way matter is with energy, and space with time. What that would mean for human destiny is anyone's guess. He knows if he is able to predict the periodic strange days, he will be besieged with overriding questions. Is control even possible? Can it be stopped? Our very humanity is the experiment. Hang on for the wild ride as the world "P-Pivots" towards a resolution of unimagined potential. December 21, 2012 - 11:11 UTC. The Mayan Calendar ends. Something extraordinary begins. The End of the Beginning. A whole universe of promise, but nowhere to hide from ourselves.

City of Pillars ReviewA man is pushed to the brink of madness as he tries to decode an ancient text and stop a secret conspiracy from taking over the world. But this book isn't about the conspiracy itself, it is more about how a conspiracy, any conspiracy could succeed in today's modern society. It focuses on complacency and indifference, qualities that are required to live in the crowded, impersonal society we now live in, but qualities that make it so simple to manipulate the world from behind the scenes. How many of us would take on the challenge of 'outing' a worldwide conspiracy if we ever found evidence of one? It is much easier to keep our mouth closed, our belly full, and lie on the couch watching Baywatch reruns.
This book is more like Pynchon's "Crying of Lot 49", or Eco's "Foucoult's Pendulum" than it is to Wilson's "Illuminatus" Like life, the answers aren't all there, blatantly thrown in front of us. This book leaves more questions than it answers, but the satisfaction comes in the journey, not the solution. By the way, don't expect everything to turn out happy in the end, life isn't like that.City of Pillars OverviewMen In Black...An Ancient Manuscript...A City that Isn'tSupposed to Exist...No matter how paranoid you are, you're notparanoid enough!Mitchell Sinclair is an innocent man who accidentally comes intopossession of an ancient text. Soon he is being chased to the ends ofthe earth, pursued by shadowy forces who seem intent on getting thebook back and eliminating all evidence of it. As he attempts to stayalive and translate the mysterious document he uncovers horrific andominous details of an ancient, worldwide conspiracy. But the questionis, can he find the answers he seeks before he loses everything?City of Pillars charts one man's journey into madness, past the narrowconfines of Western notions of reason and scientific reality.As hedecodes more and more of the secrets of the City of Pillars, Sinclairis pushed farther and farther outside the bounds of traditionalsociety and is forced to discard his morality piece by piece to stayalive.

Push Review"Push" recounts a chain of events that pitted an ordinary man against a
government facility who tormented him in a world he wakes up to, after
surviving a car crash. The main character in this cleverly entertaining
story is Ryan Parker, who desperately fights in a battle for survival
of his life, and those he loves. Ryan struggles to close the door of
imprisonment permanently, and open a new door to a life he'd rather have
at what-ever risks he may have to take. After so many times of being
knocked against the wall, he decides to regain his strength, and push
back! Does he save his own life, and those he loves? Does he get up,
after he falls off his feet? Christopher Byron wrote a story that is
consistently gripping that will thrill the reader with it's unbelievable
twists and turns. The story within the pages of "Push" is as dynamic as
the story of "The Insider" with Al Pacino. The story of Ryan Parker's
heroic acts and triumph is presented by the author to have your
adrenaline pumping, while craving for a sequel. With each twist in this
novel, the mystery deepens and the question looms, will Ryan Parker
win the battle for freedom? I recommend this book to all readers who
enjoy thrillers, with a blend of drama, and fantasy. "Push" is as
entertaining as "Devil's Advocate." Ryan Parker comes to life in
Christopher Byron's outstanding plot, and is as incredible as Jeff
Bridges is in "Arlington Road."Geraldine Ahearn, A.I.O.M.

The Cobweb ReviewIn recent years, Stephenson's work has become increasingly complicated. The Baroque cycle is a study in intricate plots, characters that seem to number in the thousands, and difficult material that is not readily accessible to the average novel reader. The Cryptonomicon met that description as well, but to a lesser degree. While I enjoyed those books precisely for their complexity, many readers probably found them to be frustrating to read and difficult to follow.

The Stephen Bury novels do not present this problem for the casual reader. They are stripped of most of the technical lingo, and they tend to follow more in the footsteps of modern thrillers. The difference between these novels and the average Tom Clancy clone is that they revolve around powerful critiques of modern political cultures and bureacracies.
The Cobweb is the better of these two novels. The central critique of the intelligence community is that competence without political acumen is tantamount to career suicide. The book tracks the months between Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait and the start of Gulf War I and poses a terrifying question: what if the greatest enemies to our national security are the egomaniacs at the top of the security apparatus? Given the events that have transpired in between the writing of this novel and today, the question raised by this novel seems prescient.
The one thing that is lacking from the Stephen Bury novels is the decadence of Stephenson's other works. Stephenson is a novelist who has spent pages discussing the Captain Crunch-eating ritual of one of his characters (Cryptonomicon), the making of watered steel blades (the Baroque Cycle), and other incidental but vastly entertaining subjects too numerous to mention. These passages exquisitely sideline the plots of his books for an exercise in pure intellectual indulgence. Sadly, you will not find any such passages in this novel or in Interface.The Cobweb OverviewFrom his triumphant debut with Snow Crash to the stunning success of his latest novel, Quicksilver, Neal Stephenson has quickly become the voice of a generation. In this now-classic political thriller, he and fellow author J. Frederick George tell a savagely witty, chillingly topical tale set in the tense moments of the Gulf War.When a foreign exchange student is found murdered at an Iowa University, Deputy Sheriff Clyde Banks finds that his investigation extends far beyond the small college town—all the way to the Middle East. Shady events at the school reveal that a powerful department is using federal grant money for highly dubious research. And what it's producing is a very nasty bug. Navigating a plot that leads from his own backyard to Washington, D.C., to the Gulf, where his Army Reservist wife has been called to duty, Banks realizes he may be the only person who can stop the wholesale slaughtering of thousands of Americans. It's a lesson in foreign policy he'll never forget.

Webs of Fate ReviewWe've been told, as writers, to write what you know. This author surely did that. Her background in department store management shows through the entire novel.
Webs of Fate is a prequel to Webs of Power and Twisted Webs. If you enjoyed those two novels, you will surely enjoy this one. Also, it is written, I find, in the style of a "soap-opera". There are 155 chapters, plus prologue and epilogue and other "extras". However, most of them are very short, some only one page or so. The characters are very well developed. Each chapter seems to find you with a different character in a different scene, much like the old soap-operas. If you only have a few minutes at a time to read, this is very easy reading. On the other hand, the characters are so intriguing; you probably won't want to put the book down.
If you have already read the other two novels, this one will add much understanding to the background of the plots, as a prequel is designed to do. I have not yet read the other two, but feel sure I will do so in the future.
This book is very well written, although not in the style one may be accustomed to in the usual term of "novel". The chapters easily slide one into the next, and there is no difficulty in the reading or keeping up with the action. There is a lot of intrigue involved. The setting is California, and the reader can feel the "California" in it. I would recommend this book when one has more than the usual amount of time to read a novel. Well done, Darlene!Webs of Fate Overview
A gripping story of greed, conquest, love, and forgiveness.

In the high-fashion world of the mid-'80s, Ashleigh McDowell falls victim to a painful betrayal by Danielle Norman, a naive and vulnerable young buyer who is fighting to save her plummeting career. How high a price will both women pay in their battle over a grave secret?

Each step Ashleigh takes to uncover the truth about Danielle's actions--and her whereabouts--unwittingly exposes her to a criminal mastermind who feels events spinning out of his control. Unexpectedly, Ashleigh discovers an ally in her hunt for Danielle--the handsome Conrad Taylor. But is he the man who will steal her heart or break it?

In a race against both time and the emotions that haunt her, Ashleigh ultimately finds what fate holds for her.

From international award-winning author Darlene Quinn, Webs of Fate is a tension-filled work of fiction that creates the background for the personalities and motivations that drive the stories in Webs of Power and Twisted Webs.

Alien Taste (Ukiah Oregon, Book 1) ReviewSet in the Pittsburgh, Pa area in the near future, this book is the story of the foundling, Ukiah Oregon. He was found caught in a humane wolf trap, appearing to be a young child, naked and gnawing on a rabbit. The woman who found him desparately wanted a child, and took him home to Pennsylvania with her.
Time has passed and Ukiah is now assumed to be 21 and is the partner of Max, a private investigator with a sad past of his own. Ukiah is an extraordinary tracker and has made a name for himself by finding missing persons. So the police call him in on a mysterious murder that turns out to be much more than it seems.
I don't want to give away any of the twists and turns of this fascinating book, but I will at least tell you that Ukiah finds out that his past is much more strange than he ever thought.
Great characters, interesting and well-fleshed out. His father-figure, Max; the mysterious biker gang, Ukiah's two Moms, and Ukiah's girl, tough-talking FBI agent Indigo Zheng--they are all just wonderful. And there is a conspiracy that any X-Files fan will love.Alien Taste (Ukiah Oregon, Book 1) Overview

Distant Cousin: a novel ReviewIs it really? The Fifth Kind is supposed to denote communication with an alien. The Barbie doll who plays the lead in this screenplay waiting to happen is not actually an alien being. She is a human from another planet, and she does one helluva job at communicating! Remember the wonderful magic you felt the first time you saw Spielberg's Close Encounters? Literary author Al Past makes us feel that way again. You will fall in love with an alien all over again, just like you did when you met E.T. The author of Distant Cousin takes you to one of those places we all seek when we encounter a delightful, memorable novel like this one. Mr. Past shows us the majestic beauty of the mountains near Alpine, TX, and he takes us for an exciting ride to other locales both inside and outside the U.S., but those are merely logistical issues that complement the plot. The real story is found in that magical, mysterious place within our hearts.
Romance fans will enjoy this book as much as SciFi bugs. The storyline never encourages you to get out the hankies or bores you with technical mumbo-jumbo. It just blasts along the highway of your first big love affair. Like that affair, you may find a few bumps in the road in the form of grammatical typos, but I assure you they will never give you a flat tire! The characters and plotlines are all first-rate. There isn't a single wasted page or a single slow spot that you just have to wade through to get back to the good part. You will love the lead characters so much that you will be casting in your head for the Spielberg movie long before the end. Don't worry about there never being a sequel: it's already out. This is quite a book. When do we get to see the movie?Distant Cousin: a novel OverviewA lonely astronaut stumbles upon a disaster in the making: the Earth will be turned into a crater-pocked ruin and millions of people will be killed, unless she can convince someone to take preventive action.But she has a huge problem. After all, who would believe an ordinary young woman who said such a thing, especially if there is no record she is an astronaut...and especially not if she also claims to have come from a different solar system?Only the U. S. government does, and hunts her with all the forces it can muster. Terrified and with few resources, she tries desperately to disprove people's low opinion of what a young woman is capable of.And what about her earthly boy friend?

Basilisk (Korsak Brothers) ReviewI am a huge Rob Thurman fan and could not wait for this sequel. Although I discovered her through the urban fantasy genre, this book, which is a sequel to the book Chimera, is not in the urban fantasy category. It is just an old fashioned thriller, one that has a little science fiction element, but actually reminds me of Michael Chricton. Thriller books with a twist to give it a kick.
The relationship between these two brothers is at the heart of the story but it was great reading how they have each grown, together and on their own. I also love the character of Saul, and was really glad to see him back in such a major way.
I don't want to say to much, I don't want to give the story away, but as usual, Ms. Thurman throws in twists and turns that turn the story on it's head more than once. (See her trickster books, The Trick of the Light, and Grimrose Path, such fun) Anyway, the action was non-stop and it is a great book for anyone who likes a thriller book with more than non-stop action, but great characters that you fall in love with as well.
By the way if you read this book on Kindle, they put the line about checking out the other author's books in the wrong place, it is before the epilogue. So when you get there, keep going, and read the epilogue. Amazon goofed!Basilisk (Korsak Brothers) OverviewStefan Korsak and his genetically-altered brother have evaded the Institute for three years.

Carrion Comfort ReviewWhat if you could control the minds of others. And not just simply control their minds, but make them physically do anything you wanted them to. What type of person would you be? Well Mr. Simmons tells us in breathtaking detail.
The story revolves around Sal Laski, a Jew who survived the Nazi death camps of WWII. He came into contact with one of these Mind Vampires (as we come to know them) that he nick-names 'The Oberst.' Having his mind touched and his body controlled is worse than being 'raped.' And Mr. Simmons shows us exactly how that would feel. Chillingly! Mr. Laski becomes fanatical about finding his Oberst and giving him back what Sal had felt all those many years ago during the War.
Mrs. Melanie Fuller is a Mind Vampire also, and she and a few of the others with the Ability meet every year to discuss their scores (i.e. how many people they controlled and killed and how much publicity it got). They are so nonchalant about their controls and killings that it is almost maddening to the reader. They have absolutely no empathy for anyone or anything which makes them all the more horrific. Amazingly, the reader eventually becomes comfortable with these characters and wants to know if they will survive their own failings in humanity. Terrific stuff!
Mr. Harod is a slime-bag producer of B-movies Hollywood who also has the Ability. He uses it to control women specifically and solely (because he feels that touching a man's mind would be to homophobic for him).
Mr. C. Barent is a billionaire with the Ability who owns a mythical Island off the coast of Florida. Once a year 'The Island Club' meets and plays a game: they bring lost souls to the island and Use them to kill one another. The last Mind Vampire with a player still alive at the end of the week wins. (spoiler)
Incredible as it may seem, Mr. Simmons has the ability to write in many different genres...and capably so. He received a Hugo award for Science Fiction for his Hyperion novel. And received the Bram Stoker Award for Horror for this one. Truly fantastic.
An incredible novel and quite lengthy. At almost 900 pages, it kept me interested the entire time and rarely, if ever, lagged. Highly recommended reading for those who enjoy the written word and not just bland novels with mindless killing.Carrion Comfort Overview"CARRION COMFORT is one of the three greatest horror novels of the 20th century. Simple as that." --Stephen King
