The Write Reads Ultimate Blog Tour Review ~ Generations by Noam Josephides


For eight generations, the Thetis has been a peaceful haven, carrying the last remnants of humanity on a journey to resettle on a new planet. Nearing its final destination, Thetis is seemingly a egalitarian, tolerant and united. A society ready for a new beginning.

But when a strange extortion attempt targets the ship's leader, that idyllic façade begins to crack. And when SANDRINE LIET, the introvert Archivist tasked with investigating the case starts poking around – the prime suspect mysteriously disappears.

Nobody disappears on the Thetis.

Sandrine is pulled into a web of intrigue and deception, sending her on a direct collision course with the most powerful people on the Thetis. Every step she takes, her suspicions of a grand and far-reaching conspiracy grow - as are the personal consequences for her future if she keeps pursuing the investigation.

Payne and Sacrifice

















Taking down the nanite-enhanced Storm Bringers was only the beginning. Detective Amber Payne and her team of “strays” still have to find and capture the woman who created the super soldiers – former Securi-Tech board member, Carol Conley.

And while Conley may be at the top of Securi-Tech’s most wanted list, for Amber, the case is more personal. For Conley was responsible for the death of Amber’s former partner, and she’s determined to bring the homicidal maniac to justice… no matter what it costs her.

Aether Ones

Leilani Falconi is a top agent for the Imperial Investigative Service, tasked with policing the veil between two realities. Long ago, the Great Sundering tore the universe into two mirrored halves; aether space, which progressed using magical energy or eldrich, and kuldain, which advanced via electromagnetic technology.

But now a series of suspicious deaths stretching back more than a decade has the agent trapped directly between secretive bureaucracies and their peoples. If she can't solve the mysterious crimes in time, existence as she knows it could erupt into chaos.

My Rating ~ 3 bites and a nibble

The Telepathic Vacuum Cleaner Salesperson Policeman brings in the most wanted criminal of all time, Gelmon Wrackworn, only to let him escape right before entering the Penitence Building. Fortunately for the policeman, Wrackworn is arrested again immediately after, but it’s too late. He is humiliated before his entire unit and the credit is given to someone else. He is manipulated into taking a secret assignment, but it involves the woman he would love to ask out on a date. Being the dutiful policeman he sticks to duty and honor even though it breaks his heart. All he wants is his very own name and the real woman he’s falling in love with. He’s a decent, honest, hardworking policeman. Is that so much to ask? Why does life have to be so difficult?

Ok, for those of you who have an oddball sense of humor and love stories that are a bit goofy you’ll love this one. It is quite an entertaining read. The problem is it’s a bit too goofy at times and there are some editing issues, but nothing outrageous.

The Telepathic Vacuum Salesperson Police Officers give up their names when they join the unit. How do they go through life without a name? It boggles the mind! Set in the future where door-to-door sales are outlawed, people can order  a spouse custom made, clothes are whacky and can be quick delivered on demand for the latest fashion addict and boring public transportation is replaced with roller coasters, you might want to get in the right frame of mind before you read this one. It is not to be taken seriously. Well, except maybe the poor policeman’s dilemma. He’s stuck between the woman he loves and his duty to his unit. Wait…that sounded so less pervy in my head! Anyway, for some lighthearted silly entertainment that sneaks in a hidden mesage I’d recommend picking this one up.

About the Author
David J. Rollins is a paralegal by day, husband by night, and sometimes finds time to write. As a young man, he had had different plans, but that’s the way life works out most of the time.

David has been writing since Seventh Grade. He started with the adventures of Super Pimp and his sidekick Squirt. His hero was Philip K. Dick, who strangely enough did not write about things like Pimps and Squirts. Like any fan, David wanted to follow in his hero’s footsteps. Unlike most fans, he wanted to follow them even after finding out that his hero, at one point in his life, was so poor that he resorted to eating dog food. What David lacked in aspirations, he made up for in determination.

From those humble beginnings, David became the man he is today. He is happier than he ever thought he would be and is living a life he never imagined in his wildest dreams. And that’s the way David’s life worked out. He was and is very lucky.

As further proof of his luck, David has lost every one of the stories about Super Pimp and his sidekick Squirt. He has also never had to eat dog food.
