Escaping Infinity

Fiction - Science Fiction
Reviewed By Lit Amri for Readers' Favorite
Engineers Peter Childress and Charlie Womack are on their way to Phoenix for an important presentation, but Charlie’s shortcuts have gotten them lost. They stumble across the Infinity Hotel and the promise of a meal, fuel and a good night’s sleep before resuming their journey is too good to pass up. However, Peter soon realizes the hotel is frighteningly strange – an unlimited number of floors, guests that appear out of time and place, and the entrance to the hotel has disappeared. No one is allowed to leave.
The concept of Escaping Infinity by Richard Paolinelli takes the sense of wonder of classic science fiction tales that readers would love. Its prologue gives an intriguing foreshadowing to start the story, grabbing my interest right away. The plot is deftly formative, as we follow Peter’s attempt to get him and his friend Charlie out of the deceiving hotel, while trying to avoid the watchful eyes of the hotel’s manager and the front desk clerk named Liz. The narrative is flawless, with its concise and clear prose. The pacing overall is solid, although there were some events that I thought could unfold quicker. That said, it’s not necessarily a weakness, but merely my personal preference for the story.
Paolinelli’s Escaping Infinity is a mixture of hard science fiction, mystery, and some interest in transcendence. There’s a subtle metaphor of fixing societal problems when the opportunity arises in the last half of the story, as the protagonists discover more truth about the hotel and its purpose. All in all, a solid read.

Reviewed By Joana James for Readers' Favorite
Election 2064 by Scott McDermott is a fascinating look into the future of American politics. This book follows several characters as they navigate a political landscape that, though rather grim, isn’t vastly different from today’s. It certainly is a lot more treacherous, however. From noble politicians with lofty ideas for fixing a broken country, to super-rich sponsors with their own agendas in mind, Election 2064 follows them all for a full and unbridled perspective. The political minefield includes terrorist attacks, assassination attempts, and well timed entries into the presidential race. In this installment (book 1) no one person emerges as the front runner; rather we are told the story from the beginning of each presidential race.
With exciting plot twists and a story that weaves together effortlessly, Election 2064 shows us, with a frightening parallel to current reality, just how things could go in a divided nation. It is quite interesting, definitely not another political bore. It is action packed and certainly well written. The personalities are vivid, the stories exciting, compelling and steeped in reality. This was an easy and enjoyable read. I especially liked the vivid descriptions of the day's technology. They helped to cement the era in my mind and create a realistic view of the world in fifty or so years down the road. It does end with a bit of a cliff hanger so reading book two is a definite must. However, I certainly did not feel short changed by the story. It was complete enough to stand alone and was a delightful read. I look forward to the release of book two in the series.

Fiction - Science Fiction
Reviewed By Joel R. Dennstedt for Readers' Favorite
The first superlative technique that strikes the curious reader of Brian Cohn’s science fiction/mystery, The Last Detective, is the author’s masterful use of descriptive prose, something seen less and less these days, but guaranteed to place one forcefully and engagingly in a most dramatic present. This uniquely creative future moment deserves precisely such a pleasing and powerful ploy, for we find ourselves taken over by mysterious, condescending aliens – slickly referred to as 'slicks' - and immersed in an old school investigation of one particular alien’s bold and inconceivable murder. If that is not enough to catch any jaded sci-fi or mystery reader’s rapt attention, one should check that reader’s pulse for proof of life.
Detective Adrian Grace is the unduly harried flatfoot in this remarkable book, and he is the narrative magnet through whom Brian Cohn expertly unfolds his desperately fascinating plot in The Last Detective. Grace hates the slicks. Loathes them, actually. But they have an irresistible inducement with which to ensure his cooperation and participation: a displaced family with whom the detective longs to be reunited. Written in the style of exquisitely dark and sometimes morbid humor so loved by classic mystery readers, and with a gene pool of realistically portrayed otherworldly beings – the kind you love to hate, so human is their inhumanity – The Last Detective is that truly wonderful of finds: a smart book to transport you and distract you from the real world it so ironically mirrors. Mr. Cohn has done his job with great finesse and style, mixing genres so seamlessly that the reader forgets in which one he might be so thoroughly absorbed. He is absorbed in both. Cliché time: an unforgettable, great read!

Gravity by James M. Corkill is the fourth installment in the Alex Cave Series, a throbbing sci-fi with a gripping plot. Geophysicist Alex Cave has just been informed by the Director of the Nordic Volcanological Center about an unusual volcanic occurrence in Iceland, where huge blobs of molten rock float out of an ancient glacier. With his friend Okana, Alex sets out on an investigation that uncovers a 180-million-year-old alien artifact, but it is stolen by Janice Sloan, who demands $2 million in exchange. Things get even more complicated when Sloan abducts Alex’s girlfriend and her ten-year-old daughter as part of her ploy. But something worse is happening — an emerald asteroid is on course to collide with the earth, and there are only six days left until the impact.
A lot is happening in this sci-fi novel that features blackmail and kidnapping, as well as a man’s desperate race to save the earth and those he loves. Alex is a well-developed character, a man facing multiple conflicts at the same time. Readers will love the characters in this book and the author’s writing voice — strong and clear. Although I have not read the previous books in this serious, I was able to connect with the story and the characters without any need for much backstory, thanks to the author’s gift for intelligently weaving elements from his previous book into the new one, without distracting the reader. The plot is fast-paced and it has many surprises for the reader. One has to read on, eager to know what will happen to the ancient artifact and if the asteroid will collide with the earth. Gravity by James M. Corkill reads wonderfully and I loved the originality in plot and characters.

Wizzy Wig (Thanatos Rising Book 2) by Tiffany Pitts is a science fiction novel that would appeal most to a mixed audience of young adults and adults who enjoy reality bending stories. Jake Denny is an average looking gamer who lives in the basement apartment of his mom’s building, and has a crush on a Pizza Joe’s delivery driver by the name of Kix. Kix remembered that Jake needed a closed box with something inside that is unknown to everyone for an intentional collapse of a wave function experiment, and she has such an item. Kix’s decision to bring the mystery pizza to Jake results in a hole being torn through reality, and a cat named Toesy having to take action to end the reality bending. Does Toesy have what it takes to put reality back in order, or will the cat cause the end of the world?
Wizzy Wig (Thanatos Rising Book 2) by Tiffany Pitts has an intriguing cover that hinted at the fact that a feline would play a large role in the story; this instantly pulled me in, as I am a huge fan of animals that are developed into full characters instead of just pets. Toesy is a Maine Coon cat that the author developed into a full character with its own personality and role in the plot. I specifically liked how the cat had its own role that did not overshadow the roles of Jake and Kix in the story. The book can easily be read as a standalone novel and I did not feel that I was missing plot elements of character development in not reading the first book in the series. Overall, I truly enjoyed the way the author wove together multiple plot elements into a reality defying story - it kept me so enthralled that I read the whole book in one sitting.

Corvette by Ken McConnell is a sci fi/fantasy novel that would appeal most to a mixed audience of adults and young adults who enjoy fast-paced science fiction that takes place in space. Lieutenant Armon Vance despairs that his career in the fleet is over when he finds himself assigned to an ancient ship at the edge of the known galaxy. Yet, little does he know that his career is not over but only beginning as he will face an important mission. His assistance will be relied upon to ensure the safe return of the ship and crew when they encounter a warship of the Votainion Armada. Will Lieutenant Armon Vance manage to keep the crew alive and get them back home safely or will he die trying?
Corvette by Ken McConnell is a well-written novel that reminded me of a combination of the different Star Trek movies and the TV series. I enjoyed the combination of past and future that Ken McConnell seamlessly combined in this novel in that it had the feel of a naval battle with a futuristic setting. I found Lieutenant Armon Vance to easily be my favorite character because, even though he was only a Lieutenant, he did not let that stop him from showing himself to be a hero. The ways in which he aided his captain and his crew showed the strength of his character and his determination.

Resurrection America by Jeff Gunhus is an awesome, action packed thriller. I was hooked after the first page. Resurrection is a small town. Rick Johnson is a small town sheriff. He is a hard headed, common sense, combat veteran, who also is a very smart and conscientious cop. He is my kind of guy. His world changes one morning with one strange radio transmission from his deputy and this is the beginning of an amazing roller coaster ride of a thriller. Resurrection America doesn't start with a big bang. It starts with a spot on look at policing in small town America. The first scene is actually a little comical. The sheriff’s morning ablutions are interrupted by a frightened deputy. This scene is written very well and sets the tone for the rest of the novel. The action and tension grow until you can hardly stand it, before exploding into a satisfying conclusion.
This is how good Jeff Gunhus is. I kept thinking that Resurrection America might have been written by Stephen King. The portrayal of ordinary life in America was just that spot on. The plot is brilliant. The portrayal of a Marine veteran who has kept his professionalism, even though he is working law enforcement now instead of running combat patrols, is perfect. A lot of the reason I like Resurrection America so much is because I like Sheriff Rick Johnson. We could be friends sharing war stories in a bar somewhere. He was that real to me. A great thriller all round.

Wow! I just finished reading The Darkest Side of Saturn: Odyssey of a Reluctant Prophet of Doom, the newest work by author Tony Taylor, and I have to say it was completely worth the read! Follow the stories of spacecraft navigator Harris Mitchel and astronomer Diana Muse-Jones after their discovery that an asteroid appears to be on a collisions course with Earth, with likely disastrous effects, within the next twenty years. They aren't sure how to make their discovery known, and have a terrible argument regarding what to do. When Harris goes ahead and lets the disbelieving public know, and both he and Diana lose their jobs, it seems like their relationship will never be the same again. Harris becomes the unwilling soothsayer to a group of followers desperate for details regarding the coming end of days, led by a fanatical preacher. One thing remains uncertain, however, how will the world deal with the possibility of an asteroid strike? With the world be saved, or are we headed toward disaster?
I so enjoyed this book! Author Tony Taylor writes with authenticity that can only come from someone who has worked as a NASA navigator for most of his career. His knowledge and expertise come shining through in The Darkest Side of Saturn and his readers will certainly appreciate it! This book had me turning the pages from the very beginning, and I simply could not put it down until the end.
