Clever – Crafty Debut
Posted by tcabn in Books, Fiction, Short Story on January 5, 2013
Choices & Chances by Patrick White; yet to be rated by Amazon or goodreads.
Some Thoughts on Choices & Chances:
Choices and Chances offers three distinct short stories that have everything to do with the pebble in the pond theory; the ripple-effect a single choice can have on the totality of our lives and those around us. The Streak’s main character plays a very active role in his situation, while the protagonist in The Traffickers chose an environment where others held the strings. In The Law of Unintended Consequences, you’re left having that internal debate to assign blame or determine cause and effect like some kind of prosecuting attorney. Read the rest of this entry »

The Orphan Factory by James & Lance Morcan; an Amazon average rating of 4.8 stars.
A Little About The Orphan Factory:
Resuming where it all began -
The Morcan’s take us to Chicago, Ill., on a journey with 23 genetically altered children and the organization bent on creating the world’s most elite stable of espionage operatives. In this prequel, as with the first novel (The Ninth Orphan), you’ll focus on Nine as he shows early signs of walking to the beat of a slightly different drum than his Omega masters would prefer. You’ll witness the depths of the manipulation used to shape these children and clearly see how Omega’s choices in dealing with Nine ultimately plant the seeds of their demise in book one.

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was my book of the decade and a fantastic gift from my wife. I read it while on deployment in Afghanistan so the humour worked wonders for my morale. One of the wittiest fiction reads I’ve ever experienced; fast-paced and impossible to put down. Read the rest of this entry »
Winterflood peels back the mask

The Last Mask – Tradition by Stephen Winterflood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Stephen Winterflood’s, The Last Mask is a dark adventure with traditional fantasy elements presented in a very unique style. Fantasy readers looking for a break from the norm will love the asymmetric structure and artistic writing approach. Traditionalists will likely feel less thrilled because early on the plot builds in an unusual way that can seem a bit complicated. You’ll see the value in his approach later as characters and plot find their convergent path. Read the rest of this entry »
