Review of 'Losing Mars' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This is the 3rd of Mr Cawdron's books I've read and while the first two were good, this book was PHENOMENAL to me. This book was like reading Lord of the Rings or 2001 A Space Odyssey for the first time. The story is captivating and plays out even more dramatically and creatively than A Space Odyssey. I can't help but think of this as the movie I've been dreaming of seeing, but a movie would not do justice to this amazing story! The writing is good, the story is incredible, and the characters are great, but the way this plays out is simply the best mental movie I've experienced in memory.

Phenomenal series, outstanding writer and author, and mind-bending story! I absolutely loved reading through this, and while I know time travel stories aren't for everyone, this one is fantastic!

WOW, what a story! The time travel twists and paradoxes might confuse you a little, but if they didn't, you probably aren't from Earth. But it's one of the things I love about these stories... They are fascinating and full of adventure and action, while keeping your mind turning and your imagination blooming. The writing is fantastic and the story flows so well... I couldn't recommend this series enough!

Review of 'Wherever Seeds May Fall' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I read a lot of independent science fiction books and have my favorites. This has got to be one of my all-time favorite books I have read. Based in modern science but facing today's problem of mis/disinformation and politics, this book takes us to one possibility of first contact. And I guarantee it will end in a way you didn't really expect when you picked up the book. read it. It's amazing and full of science, adventure, and a bit of terror. I loved this book!

Review of 'Zeroglyph' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

WOW! The effect of this story has on my thinking is hard to describe yet. I don't love this book because it is a historically perfect drama or dreamy sci-fi with incredible characters... I love it because this piece of fiction is our future and it frames it so perfectly. The book unfolds in a way that leaves you guessing until the realization hits you near the end. And then the author spills it all out and explains it. We are building our future and it is amazing. But it will probably be our demise if we are not careful. Seriously, I loved this story!

Wow, this book was amazing! I really enjoy the epic sci-fi with the twist, adventure, suspense and characters with a variety of roles and their own traits. This book really took the last one and became a huge adventure. I couldn't stop reading until I got to the end. Exciting!
