Agent Palmer

They’ve done it again. The duo of Edward Miller and J.B. Manas have once again mixed science fiction with religion, realism, and Rapture in their newest written collaboration, “The One.”

Debatable Space presents a fictional future full of space pirates, instantaneous communication across stellar distances, redemption, retribution, revenge, and an alternative human history. It all coalesces into a novel of impressive scope that doesn’t ease up on the gas.

Caught Stealing is Charlie Huston’s debut novel. It is a very graphic thriller that doesn’t skimp on the violence. In truth, it may be one of the most violent books I’ve ever read. The nature of the “wrong-man” story that unfolds in this novel is chaotic and changes directions in such divergent ways it singles itself out as a mysterious thriller in every sense of the phrase.

It is an animated tale about an unlikely hero in a time of chivalry and knights. Its humor is across all age groups, and it feels like it’s telling an underdog story while also talking about being an outcast, trying to find one’s place and one’s self.

“Cadel Piggott’s parents thought he was brilliant… and dangerous. His therapist thought he could rule the world. They were right.” This is the description on the back of the paperback edition of Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks, and it’s a fairly decent spoiler-free description.
