“A Human Number” is a dystopian tale with a time-travelling twist. Can it get better than that? Well, yes, it has a supernatural component that can make it fantasy. So, it’s hard to precisely define it, but for now, let’s say it’s a science fantasy. It’s a story with turns and twists like a good time-travel story should be and if you get the hang of what’s going on, you can have a big-picture view of an awesome tale with some compelling characters. I don’t want to get into much more details as I don’t want to give away the plot, but if you’re looking for a surprising story full of grit and humour, “A Human Number” is the right one for you.

This was my first book, so it'll always have a special place for me. It's the same genre as the old Twilight Zone TV show (not to be confused with Twilight), a sort of weird cross between science fiction & fantasy, with a decent amount of comedy and a touch of horror. I'm currently in the midst of releasing a second edition, which should fix any of the errors I let slip by me during my first tour of duty. More on this as my release date approacheth.

A fast paced story that kept me turning the pages to find out what would happen next. As Bill travels through time there are some eerily prophetic moments that had me shaking my head in disbelief. The author takes you on a journey and paints a clear visual with his narrative style. Cameron’s quick witted dialogue helped his characters come alive and made for some laugh out loud moments. I would have given it five stars but I am generally a romance kinda girl.
