Jeff Bailey Reviews Intersection: Parallel Planes #1 by Ayden Lockwood

     

     I love finding a good Sci-Fi that has potential for a long run of future books, a series of movies and/or a TV franchise.  Intersection: Parallel Planes by Ayden Lockwood is just such a find.  In Intersection: Parallel Planes, agents of the Global Research Center (GRC) are concerned when a global world peace seems threatened. Unknown to the GRC, another secret government agency has developed the capability to explore divergent timelines and parallel worlds. With a great cast of characters, Parallel Planes presents a mind-bending series of potential story lines as a Divergent Timeline Team seeks to unravel what seems to be going wrong in our timeline by exploring what has gone wrong (or right) in other timelines. They also want to know who is behind the suspected sabotage. As I said, infinite story possibilities about an infinite number of parallel planes. For instance, why does the Sphinx have a nose in the latest timeline explored and is it significant. Five stars for Parallel Planes and for Ayden Lockwood. I recommend the journey.

Welcome to my World.

 

I, of course like a good mix of suspense , mystery, and possibly conspiracy in the books that I read. Written in the Deep: Closed Door Romance at the Blues Avenue by E. L. Irwin delivered (as do all of her books.) I’m a binge reader of Irwin’s books. They are captivating and keep my attention. From Scotland to Ireland to the U.S., Written in the Deep was a cascade lovable of realistic emotions. I especially like that Irwin not tells us a story, but she takes us to her destinations as well. After Written in the Deep, I feel like I took a trip to Ireland. Excellent. Of course, there was a touch of conspiracy surrounding a crime against women. This thread was expertly woven into the main story. I highly recommend Written in the Deep: Closed Door Romance at the Blues Avenue and all of Irwin’s books.

Jeff Bailey reviews The Levitation Game by Sharon Wagner

 

For me, The Levitation Game by Sharon Wagner was a fascinating read. It was an interesting blend of great Sci-Fi, mild paranormal, and relationship drama. Of course, finding the mysterious box (possibly extraterrestrial) in Guatemala didn’t hurt. The story centers around young adults (unique adults) Joseph and Esme. They were childhood friends, and both developed the gift of levitation. ‘The Gift?’ Every miraculous gift is a two-edged sword, one edge good and one edge, well, hot so good. What could go wrong? As they become a couple, they take different paths to apply their skills. What could go wrong? As I said, The Levitation Game was a masterful blend of the paranormal and social aspects of this couple and their friends that made the story for me. It was blended perfectly. I will follow and read more of Sharon Wagner’s books.

Jeff Bailey reviews Above And Beyond by William Wright

 

Above And Beyond: Radio Silence by William Wright is a memoir account of one airman’s World War II experiences. While the various scenes are fiction, the basis of the book and of the scenes themselves is historically accurate. Told in the first person, the stories are grippingly realistic. This is the third William Wright book that I’ve read and reviewed. The three are so different from one another that one might assume that they a reader might assume that they were from different authors., which screams of William Wrights skill as an author. Above and Beyond is a first person, fictionalized account of the rear stories told to Wright by his father. It is not the account of great battles or popular generals, but the down-in-the-trenches memories of a true war hero. I read the book in one sitting, and it was superb. My highest kudos William Wright. The book is a jewel.

Ephraim Clark Reviews The Defect by Jeff Bailey

 To quote Ephraim Clark on his review of The Defect, "Exciting from beginning to end. The bad guys personalities were developed as much as the good guys and girls personalities. The minute details and timing in the countdown to the attack are the glue that holds the reader's attention. It takes a nuclear reactor expert to even know that some of these security measures exist. I like the way the bad guys get tripped up on little details as well as the way that the good guys and girls use knowledge of the details to detect anomalies in the system and what could be causing them. This is a strong, straightforward, manly writing style that keeps the temperature up and the pages turning. Maybe the Feds will come after Jeff Bailey for outing some deep secrets of the nuclear trade. Then he'll have material for his next book that I will be standing in line to read." Thank you, Ephraim.
