Book Review | Brad Anderson | The Janus Project

The Janus Project

I received this book for free from the author. This book was sent to me through Bostick Communications. This book was sent to me in exchange for an honest review. 



Author: Brad Anderson
Title: The Janus Project
Genre: Fiction, Science Fiction, Time Travel, Fantasy, Adventure
Pages: 346
Price: £14.95

Started:
8th August 2016
Finished: 19th August 2016

Synopsis:
The feds have a special place for marquee witnesses. It's not a matter of where; it's a matter of when. Army veteran and restaurant owner John Callan was at the wrong place at absolutely the worst time. And he paid for it with the lives of his wife and daughter. His attempt at revenge on Morgan Ropp, the country's most lethal criminal, lands him in a special, top secret section of the federal witness security program: The Janus Project. Life under Janus is supposed to be the safest available for protected witnesses - and it is for Callan until Morgan escapes from prison and finds out where - and when - Callan is hiding. The Janus Project reveals the struggle of survival when the need for revenge pushes us to the brink of disaster. This character driven novel highlights dichotomy of a man torn between the fictional life that was implanted in his new reality and the depths of his instincts that drive him within his innermost soul. Which reality will win? It's a matter of time. 

Review:
I would like to thank Brad Anderson and Bostick Communications for sending me this amazing book. When I read the synopsis about this book I became very excited for this book to arrive so that I could jump into reading it. This book sounded truly interested and I was sure that this book would not fail to grab my attention. This book did not disappoint; I found that it was even better than I thought it would be and I thoroughly enjoyed settling down to read this book. The Janus Project kept me hooked from start to finish and I found that I did not want to put this book down and stop reading for anything. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys science fiction and fantasy novels. After reading this book I am excited to invest time into more books by Brad Anderson and build up a collection of books by him. It's possible that Anderson may become a favourite author of mine.

Book Review | Robin Raven | Next Stop: Nina

Next Stop: Nina


Author: Robin Raven
Title: Next Stop: Nina
Genre: Romance, Time Travel

Synopsis: There's something different about Nina; she never felt comfortable in this world. As she struggles to cope with the pain of her present and past, the young girl's life is changed through the beauty of art. When Nina grows up and winds up in over her head in a dark place, she finds herself somehow transported to another time when nothing is quite what it seems. She must fight the horrors of her past all over again. Along the way, she faces greater challenges than she imagined and enjoys sweet surprises when she discovers true love. This is a character-driven novel with a heroine who faces suicidal depression on her own terms, and that's just the beginning. At its heart, Next Stop: Nina is a love story that takes on the types of love that change us and allow us to discover the truth in ourselves.

Review: I really enjoyed this book and could not stop myself from reading it. I found that whenever I had free time I was reading this book and I had finished it before I knew it. This book is an unusual mix of romance and time travel; these two genres are not normally put together but it was an absolute amazing mix of genres. I would recommend this book to any avid reader.

Book Review | Haydn Wilks | Americosis

Americosis Vol. 1


Author: Haydn Wilks
Title: Americosis
Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Time Travel

Synopsis: A naked man arrives in New Mexico claiming to have traveled through time. 
He says that he's America's savior. 
A bizarre sexually-transmitted infection in New York takes control of people's bodies and burns them out in an incessant drive to infect others. 
And a Presidential candidate is conversing with angels. 
His aides think he's crazy. 
The electorate might not agree with them. 
It could all be madness. It might be the apocalypse. 

Review: This was an excellent and odd read that I got into easily and found it hard to stop reading. I found this story very interesting and found myself lost in the story; like I was a part of the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves science fiction and time travel stories.
