A Glint In Time ReviewThis review has a dual focus -- the book itself as well as formatting issues on the kindle2.
The science is interesting but relationships of the story feel forced. Our heroine: a young, attractive, intelligent young business owner, from a large city, has an attraction for an older man within hours of meeting him on a business trip a remote location in Alabama. They hold hands and walk on the beach. But then, she develops a love interest on the other male just a short while later on the same trip. She comes, she sees, she loves.
Other than some forced relationships and dialogue, the Kindle version is unacceptable. Wherever quotations were used, dingbats appeared. Then, during a key part of the book a time warp occurs...not in the story, but on the Kindle. A sentence begins with the characters in a conference room discussing technology and shifts mid-sentence to another scene entirely - an attempted kidnapping at another location. It appears that a page or two were omitted when the book was scanned. One conversation did not end and we do not know how they came to peril. In another spot, you read the same 4-5 paragraphs twice.
Overall, my experience with "Glint" was a little disappointing. The author would have benefited from a more attentive editor.A Glint In Time OverviewI'm thrilled with the way my new novel, "A Glint in Time" came out. Here is the premise: It is true that today, in university labs around the world, graduate students in physics are experimenting with freezing light and time. (Google the phrase Bose-Einstein).My one assumption beyond present science fact in this book is that a new technique gives experimenters the ability to send a small item to be sent back into time. All commonlaws of physics still apply... the farther back in time the less accurate.. great power is needed.. significant heating is takes place.So, if you could send a tiny white hot object back into time, what COULD you do with it? What WOULD you do with it. And, if you were successful in changing something, how would you know?(The paradox is that if you successfully changed an event, then it never happened, so you didn't need to change it.. so you didn't.)The action takes place in a US Air Force setting, in Florida, in the Pentagon,and around the world. There are good strong male and female characters who are easy to like. And, as you would expect, there are some bad guys who are easy to hate.The story is full of historical and place detail.It touches on the causes of the Vietnam War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, 911, and other major events in history.The action is swift, and you'll find the plot line very interesting.If you like military thrillers, if you like historical fiction, if you like alternative history, you will like this book.It also makes a great gift for anyone who might fall into those categories.--This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

In The Dawn's Early Light ReviewIn the Dawn's Early Light
by J. Albert Handford
As reviewed by New York Times best selling author Ellen Tanner Marsh
Imagine a novel that combines the military thriller fiction of Tom Clancy with the science fiction of time travel as well as the allegory / fairy-tale / adventure story of Alice in Wonderland. Then imagine a novel that contains the unlikely pairing of an intercepted aircraft carrier and a first lady named "Snow White." Imagine the kind of situation that would cause the United Nations to deploy peace-keeping troops in the United States--all as a result of a chain of events beginning with the machinations of someone known as "Dr. Whosh." Imagine these things, and you will have the beginning--but just the beginning--of an idea of what you will encounter in J. Albert Handford's debut novel, In the Dawn's Early Light.
The story begins on board the U.S.S. Constitution, which--as part of a secret military operation known only as "Project Wonderland"--is transporting a mysterious component known as a "sandbox" to Pearl Harbor. En route, the purportedly invulnerable aircraft carrier is intercepted and ultimately transported to Guam--in the year 1421, even as the president of the United States attempts feverishly to reestablish contact with the missing vessel.
And that is just the opening of Handford's astonishing novel; it would be far too involved a task to recount all the twists and turns of a plot which so skillfully combines a series of disparate literary genres and which becomes--as it seems with every page--"curiouser and curiouser," in the words of young Alice. From the very first page reality is disrupted as Handford brings in not Lord Jim or Captain Nemo to get to the bottom of "Project Wonderland" and the aircraft carrier's disappearance, but Dr. Whosh--and a whole cast of other characters with the kind of allegorical names one would not expect in a military thriller.
It is a very difficult task for a first-time novelist to so radically combine such disparate modes of fiction and make them work in seamless progression. And yet, because Handford tells such a compelling and page-turning tale, and because he knows how to disrupt expectations from the very beginning, he is quite up to the task. Surprisingly, admirably, In the Dawn's Early Light--a novel which takes its title from the National Anthem--remains a military thriller that delves intriguingly into the notion of what freedom is and what it means, and how it can be taken from us (think of the double meaning in this novel of the phrase "missing Constitution"). But in its use of science fiction and characters out of allegory, Handford has elevated the concept of freedom above mere realism or timeliness, and given it the timeless resonance of a fairy tale.BookSurge LLC, An Amazon.com company

In The Dawn's Early Light OverviewIn the Dawn's Early Light is the new debut science fiction fantasy that takes a bold leap into adventure on the high seas. Wildly original, J. Albert Handford creates a unique blend of happenstance and sheer ingenuity in this time warp space epic that reads like a humanitarian peace mission. Ultimately, this is a story about the American dream and what it truly means to be bold and patriotic.

The Sixteenth Man ReviewAs a mystery novelist with my debut novel in initial release, I make numerous promotional appearances around the country. Recently, I was in Dallas, and THE SIXTEENTH MAN'S author Thomas Sawyer was also on the same convention program. During some free time, Tom suggested I take my daughter to the Sixth Floor Museum, a Dallas museum concerned with the JFK assassination, as is Mr. Sawyer's novel THE SIXTEENTH MAN. My daughter and I enjoyed the museum, and I have since enjoyed Mr. Sawyer's novel. It is a fascinating tale of two interlocking stories. In 1963, PI Charlie Callan, while working a domestic surveillance case, finds his life endangered when he is linked to a certain murder-conspiracy. In time present, sixteen male skeletons are discovered by researcher Matthew Packard. Fifteen are ancient, more ancient than any human remains ever before found in North America. The sixteenth is recent, and Packard finds himself suddenly plunged into a dangerous world of fast-paced action and life-threatening twists, surprisingly linked to the JFK assassination. Mr. Sawyer has written a terrific thriller.The Sixteenth Man OverviewFast-paced, sexy, full of action, vivid, uncommon characters and surprising twists, The Sixteenth Man plays out in two parallel, interwoven stories that come together in an exciting climax on a desolate ledge high above Moab, Utah.

In late 1963, Reno Private Investigator Charlie Callan embarks on a routine domestic surveillance case. When it sends him instead into a labyrinth of deception, mortal danger—and the murder-conspiracy of the last century, Charlie is faced with moral and personal decisions for which there are no right answers.

In present time, in the mountains near Moab, Archaeologist Matthew Packard unearths an ancient tomb containing sixteen male skeletons. Fifteen of them are dramatically older than any human remains ever found in the Americas. But it's the more recent, anonymous sixteenth skeleton that triggers alarms from D.C. to Langley to New Orleans – plunging Packard into a web of vicious killers and long-hidden secrets. He finds himself falling in love with a beautiful young woman, and to save her life and his own, Packard must solve the mystery of the Sixteenth Man and its astonishing connection to the murder of President John F. Kennedy."...[An] outstanding first novel...If many more thrillers this good appear in the books-on-demand format, the world of publishing will be turned upside down..."—Ellery Queen Magazine"...a complex, brilliantly plotted thriller..."—The Malibu Times

Return of the Aliens ReviewThis book is about what happens to the people on earth after the rapture of the church. I happen to be a christian who believes in this and read this with an open mind. It is a good book. I like the way she brought out the lie all people would believe and how she suggested people might take the mark of the beast. The demons and angels were in the book and even a love story. It is easy to follow this book and see how people can be deceived by lies and led down the wrong path. The book shows how people that do not take the mark will be hunted down and executed and how cash will be obsolete and other forms of money will be used, such as debit cards.I did think it was a little slow to get going, but after a couple of chapters it took off. Very good readReturn of the Aliens OverviewIn one moment, millions of people disappear.Among them is Autumn's sister and Alex's fiancé, Marianne.At the same time the people vanish, aliens are coming to Earth. The aliens say they want to advance man to the next level in evolution, but Autumn and Alex aren't convinced.Looking for answers and Marianne, they follow a lead to Area 51.All they find are more questions, and Alex discovers his nightmares have just begun.Meanwhile, Autumn meets Devon who is one of the conspirators behind the plot to keep humans unaware of what is really going on. When Autumn demands he tell her the truth, he warns her that she better stop looking or she'll end up dead.But can she stop searching when she fears Marianne might need her?This Christian sci-fi thriller explores the possibility that conspiracy theories and Biblical prophecies are about to collide. Is this the end of the world as we know it?
