I say this because science fiction is simply not my cup of tea. How- ever, since she is writing these stories and I know her, I decided that I really should read her books. I reluctantly started thinking that it would be a chore. It didn’t take many pages to prove me wrong. I was hooked and wanted to keep going to find out what happens. This is what a good read is supposed to do and these books definitely do that. Both books have the same main character, John Mason, Jr., who is unwilling to accept the ways of the society in which he lives and fights to change things. As he goes about changing things he also makes a lot of horrifying discoveries. When I finished the first novel, I was happy there was more to come and I now am looking forward to read the third novel in her series; “The Disaster Planet” that will be out this sum- mer. The books are available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Anything you want me to pass along? Let me hear from you about your favorite places or coming events. I do like hearing from you!
