ATLANTIS Review

Bob Mayer (AKA Robert Doherty AKA Greg Donegan AKA Joe Dalton AKA Bob McGuire) is truly one of the more masterful newcomers to the sci-fi genre in many, many years. Intermingling sci-fi with edgy military techo-thriller action, Mayer weaves some of the most enjoyable and imaginative fiction I've ever read with each novel. I look forward to every book he writes and have yet to be disappointed. The Area 51 series has been one of the most exciting I've ever read and just when I thought it couldn't get any better, along came the Atlantis series, which is equally as good, if not better.
With the Atlantis series, Mayer weaves a story of how the deadly elements of what was once thought to be ancient mythology collide with our modern militarized world, bringing to bear a frighteningly realistic, gruesome battle for world domination. A centuries-old war being fought between interdimensional foes has resurfaced in three of the Earth's most mysterious regions. A ship missing since WWII and a covert group of soldiers missing since the Vietnam War, both of which vanished in such regions, suddenly re-emerge from them as though not a day has passed. Only one man has been successful at returning from any of these mystical regions alive and after learning what really happened to Atlantis, he may be the only man who can save the world from a similar fate at the hands of the most deadly evil that has ever threatened it.
The Atlantis series is truly some of the most inspired and imaginative fiction in recent history and masterfully mixes the sci-fi genre with modern age fiction, providing enough action to keep fans of even Tom Clancy glued. Mayer has truly authored some of the best page-turners in recent history.
If you are intriqued by the Atlantis series, be sure not to miss his Area 51 series (under the Doherty pen name) and his military thrillers such as The Omega Missile, (Dalton pen name), The Gate (McGuire pen name) and Psychic Warrior (Doherty pen name). All are well worth picking up and will keep you enthralled from start to finish!

The Postmortal: A Novel Review

This is the second novel from Drew Magary, he has created a fantastic new world that starts in 2019 with a brilliant idea. A scientist accidentally finds the cure for ageing - not death but ageing - eat your heart out L'oreal. This does not stop you dieing, you can still get sick. Get cancer and be killed.
Our hero is John Farrell who keeps a journal and text files on his WEPS 8 (a sort of advanced iPad) which is found years later by the Bureau of Containment and it still works! His story and that of the world, is told through his entries and news blogs and other media sources from the time period, which spans sixty years.
What starts out as a brilliant almost humanitarian venture, for instance this is a cure to all ageing diseases, such as Alzheimer's; soon becomes a bit dystopian. If no-one ages then no-one dies, people become post mortals with two ages, like sixty five with a rebirth age of twenty seven. The moral arguments were not fully researched before the universal clamour for access to `the cure', meant it was legalised by all governments. This then leads to a whole slew of problems, with population explosions, new cults to the Church of Man, `organics', who want to grow old and die naturally. What happens to pensions? What happens to healthcare? When do you stop having kids as you will continue to be fertile?
So masses to deal with and Magary does not flinch from the story developing. In actual fact just as you think you have got your head around the latest plot twist, he throws a new development into the mix. As the characters and particularly John Farrell get older (but not visibly) the Worlds' finite resources start to groan under the pressure and ever more inventive ways of holding together the gossamer fabric of society have to be introduced. That is where the End Specialists come in. In a world where no one ages and very few die, there has to be a way to press the exit button. This means having Government sponsored (and paid) Specialists who help you shuffle off your mortal coil.
The morals and principles of John develop with the story and pragmatism wins out over most considerations, for most of the time. However, this is also a tale of love, loss, bereavement, new ways of coping and concepts that we have never thought of let alone considered. There is a feel of John Wyndham about this, in that it does not just deal with the sci-fi element but uses the prose to drive the characters and events, in a way that makes you want to know more and actually engages you with the whole thing.
Magary has done a marvellous job and I just wanted to plough on until I had read it all. He keeps the pace, the surprises and the interest going at full tilt, right up until the last sentence. Seriously, this is just a fantastic read and I think I have gushed too much, but can not recommend this highly enough - just brilliant.

The Postmortal: A Novel Overview

John Farrell is about to get "The Cure." Old age can never kill him now. The only problem is, everything else still can . . . Imagine a near future where a cure for aging is discovered and-after much political and moral debate-made available to people worldwide. Immortality, however, comes with its own unique problems-including evil green people, government euthanasia programs, a disturbing new religious cult, and other horrors. Witty, eerie, and full of humanity, The Postmortal is an unforgettable thriller that envisions a pre-apocalyptic world so real that it is completely terrifying.

The Old Man and the Wasteland Review

I've never heard of Nick Cole. I had just purchased my and kindle and had a hand full of books ready for a nine hour flight. On a whim I bought this. I finished the book in my terminal. I didn't touch any of the other books in those nine hours. I just read this one over and over. Its that good.
I really didn't know what I had purchased. Beyond the description all I really expected was something along the lines of The Road meets The old man and the sea. And it has elements of both. But it takes the idea of the Old man and the sea and truly makes it its own. It tells a tale of of hope in hopeless times. And the way it is written will draw you in. I'm staying vague because you should experience if for yourself instead of reading another review. Its an outstanding novel. Honestly the less you know the better. Its short and cheap you have nothing to lose in purchasing it. When I return home I will definitely be buying the paper back and telling everyone I know. This author needs more attention.

The Old Man and the Wasteland Overview

Forty years after the destruction of civilization...Man is reduced to salvaging the ruins of a broken world. One man's most prized possession is Hemingway's classic ‘The Old Man and the Sea.' With the words of the novel echoing across the wasteland, a survivor of the Nuclear Holocaust journeys into the unknown to break a curse. What follows is an incredible tale of survival and endurance. One man must survive the desert wilderness and mankind gone savage to discover the truth of Hemingway's classic tale of man versus nature.Part Hemingway, part Cormac McCarthy's The Road, a suspenseful odyssey into the dark heart of the Post-Apocalyptic American southwest. A book lover's action flick.
