The Circle Of... is out :)
The Circle Of...
I have been writing this novel for something like six months but the idea first came over a year ago... the idea was for a story within a story and a reality more unbelievable than the dreamland. In the core of the book are the themes that fascinate me and are weaved through all of my works... identity, free choice versus fate, discovery and self-discovery. The story is set in the same world as my other works. Its spiritual prequel is
The Uncertainty Consolation, which is a very different take on the whole space exploration topic. The works that inspired me are many and the genre range is also broad... The honorable mentions go to Harry Harrison, Raymnond Chandler, Joseph Heller, Douglas Adams and Kurt Vonnegut.
The book is a first person narration and is part satire, part space adventure, part dark comedy, part a relationship drama and also contains numerous references to creatures known as centipede pandas.
It would be cool to discuss the book here so if you have any questions, it would be my pleasure to address them :)

your favorite ending of a book
so, fiends and sinners, my question to you for the day would be the following: what is your favorite ending of a book that has left you, well, shaken not stirred. For me, I will probably select the novel by Alfred Bester Stars My Destination. Just such an amazing character arc that ends with a finale worth reading and re-reading. An honorable mention is deserved by Stephen King's Tommyknockers... so very well done! Looking forward to hearing your choices!
