Jeff Bailey Reviews The Obsidian Dagger by Brad Lamar

 Excellent, engrossing, and so real. The Obsidian Dagger by Brad LaMar is an action fantasy that follows a family to Ireland and Scotland in search of their family roots. The teenage brother and sister find more than they bargained for. The tale is classic good versus evil with a twist that will blur the lines. I only know a little about the folklore of Ireland and Scotland, but this story seemed to be true to the legends. That made it all the more enjoyable. LaMar is a master of dialog and captured the teen-speak perfectly. I’d swear that These are the teenagers from up the street in my neighborhood. I’m glad to see that this is a series because I see a whole lot more story to tell. For me, Brad LaMar and The Obsidian Dagger is pure five star fun.

Joseph Dubey Reviews The Defect by Jeff Bailey

The Defect by Jeff Bailey

 Remember Three Mile Island and the meltdown they had? Well here is some more heart stopping action about a nuclear power plant, the Desert Canyons, a bunch of terrorists that have infiltrated the staff there, and a well-rehearsed plan to dump radioactive sludge into the river to create one of the biggest ecological disasters in southern California history. And what does a relief valve and a cold shutdown of the power plant have to do with it? And do Lenel and Brian finally get hooked up? Guess you'll have to get the book and read it to find out. I'm glad I did. Another good book by this author.

Above and Beyond: Radio Silence by William Wright, The Back Story

 Death slaps your face, how hard depends on circumstances. A W.W. II veteran raised me, a quiet man with strong moral values and work ethic who demanded excellence, not just of himself but of me. To put my upbringing in a Reader’s Digest format, let’s say my father did raise me up. Writing his war story helped me understand the man’s hardened approach to life and why he cut very few any slack.

Above and Beyond: radio silence unfolds from a young man’s perspective. A boy loses his mother to consumption during the Depression. His hardened father shows little sympathy while struggling with his own demons and burdened with raising five children. When the war comes, many of my father’s generation had very little to lose, except their lives.

Our book is about the inner battle in a time of outrageous world events and conflict. Written as a work of creative nonfiction, we paged through flight records, war memorabilia, reflected on verbal anecdotes shared by the veteran in his later years, and did vast amounts of research. Our research focused on life near the bases where he served as well as the events of war. We immersed ourselves as best we could in the story. There were emotional times during the writing, times of guilt and shame for not appreciating more fully the experiences endured by a boy as he develops into a man. A man who struggled to turn me into a man while protecting me from the abuse he endured and never sharing his stories of deprivation. We must remember, cherish, and understand the Greatest Generation. What made these men and women? Why did they view the world so differently? Our book shares not just the threats and violence of war, but the hearts of those living under the circumstances.

Our mission in writing this story is to honor all veterans who served in the history of our nation, whether in war or peace. We support veterans’ organizations; we didn’t write this work to cash in on the suffering and sacrifice of others. My editor/spouse is a 9-year veteran of the U.S.A.F. We give away copies and have donated our total proceeds to organizations such as the Veterans Breakfast Club, where we took part in book signings. Above and Beyond: radio silence is now available at the library of the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. Colonel Mark C Vlahos (U.S.A.F.-Ret.) and author of Leading the Way to Victory gave the book advanced praise. Your support will help veterans.

Jeff Bailey Reviews Deadly Vision by Todd Severin

Medical thrillers can be the best thrillers, especially when they are eminently contemporary, like the controversies surrounding AI in today’s marketplace. Deadly Vision by Todd Severin is just such a thriller. Deadly Vision opens in the middle a high stakes surgical procedure. The developer of an AI that could have performed the surgery with a lot less risk is a witness. It took me two chapters for my reading pace to recover from the high-speed-read that the first scenes induced. The images that the description of the AI surgery induced were breathtaking. Phrasing like, ‘Just what I need before the most important presentation of my life, a starched cotton decapitation’ made the read even better. As a debut release, it was one of the best. Five stars for Todd Severin and his imaginative creation, Deadly Vision.

Camren Buron Reviews Not On MY Watch by Jeff Bailey

 

I had the pleasure of reading "Not on My Watch", by Jeff Bailey. The basic premise is one that is quite frankly, scary in its believability, because we have a number of crazies in this country with very similar ideas to the antagonists in this book. The hero is US Marine Cassandra Sing, who gets caught up in a theft of nuclear weapons from an Oklahoma military base by supremacists wanting to return to the original ideas of the Constitution, although apparently without the racist rhetoric that most such people in real life today embody. The action is tense, and is occasionally interrupted by flashbacks in Sing's life, showing her progression into the Marines. It embodies her determination, strength, and devotion to her duty, which should be an example for all US military personnel. The flashbacks sometimes came at unexpected moments, but this isn't a bad thing. Occasionally, it did cause me to lose track of where the main story was, but I picked it up again pretty quickly. If you, or anyone in your family, has been in the military, they'll see a lot of themselves in this story. For those who haven't, this story is a good way to better understand their mentality and commitment. Kudos to Jeff Bailey for an outstanding story! I'm looking forward to reading his next one.
