Don't look for Ariel here!

Revisado: 11-14-18

But do read this book if you want a superior Suspense 'monster' story...

Victoria lost her sister years ago when the boat she was in was attacked by monsters. Those monsters look shockingly like the mermaids of old, but no one can be sure. The found footage from the event is uneven and poor in quality. Still, it looks like nasty mermaids.

Years pass. Many people are haunted by the loss of that ship. Additionally, the reality TV company that owned it suffered as they fought to explain what happened to their staff and ship.

Ultimately, they decide to fund a new expedition to look for these mermaids and discover more about the accident from years earlier.

The bulk of this novel takes place on the ship seeking these mermaids. The crew is comprised of Scientists of all types, media specialists to document the events of the trip, Diving experts and tough guys hired to protect everyone else. They know what they are looking for. They have 'mermaid experts', including Victoria who has become a marine expert in her own right (but harbors a deep need to find out what happened to her sister), and they know where to look.

That foreknowledge isn't enough...

Teen Angst Meets Aquaman

Revisado: 11-14-18

Ok, so Aquaman isn't in this story, but the main character (spoiler) does become something similar. Our hero is paralyzed from events happening before the story begins, and is having trouble dealing with life. He tries to reenter his life as a paraplegic, but it doesn't go well..until that is he finds out about new stem cell research using Sharks going on at an nearby institute.

As you may have guessed, our hero gets his hands on some of the serum being developed and takes it, with little thought to how it will eventually affect him. All he wants is to be able to walk again, to be able to play Basketball again, to not be the butt of bullies jokes. At first, it works like a charm, but .... and there is always a but.

Our hero makes mistakes in judgement throughout the book, which is why I have angst in the title. It was his fault he was paralyzed and it is his fault on what happens to his body afterward. But he is a good person, and ultimately works through some very serious trials, especially throughout the last third of this book.

I very much enjoyed this novel and hope there is a follow up.

Charming

Revisado: 09-12-16

Set in the Palatinate of 1520s, this Historical Fuction novel propels our Heroine, Agnes, theough many adventures as she seeks to understand her dreams and the mysterious signet ring she has found. Intertwined with her story is that of the local blacksmiths son Mathis (pron Matese), her childhood friend and love deapite her high birth and his low. Theoughout the story we see through their eyes the devastation of the real war of the time and it felt strangly timely as it was the.peasants risng up to wrest control from the nobels There us a degree of the fantastic here... Some remarkable events and luck but nothing of fantasy. I really enjoyed this novel and the unabridged audible presentation

Good Follow up to 1632

Revisado: 05-17-16

this is a strong sequel to 1632. while it loses a bit of the magic the first novel brings, in part because we know understand what happened and in part because certain previously key characters barely are involved, the novel still advances the story and lives of our favorite transposed West Virginians. this string of novels is basically a What If modern man interrupted the 30 years war.
