Flying Minds

by Radi Radev

A collection of fictional short stories designed to encourage creative thoughts and alternative thinking. Radi Radev has a futuristic style of writing and puts imagination into these stories.

“Here you will find brave experiments in all areas supported by author’s superb style. Even more… The author let himself play a tricky game walking on the edge… There is a man in our folklore, which, in his fear, starts running in all possible directions simultaneously. The book of Radi Radev is a strong argument that a simultaneous movement in all directions is not only possible and interesting in the fantasy literature but is also a good promise for his following books.”
Nikola Kesarovski (1944-2007)

62 pages, Kindle Edition

First published September 2, 2012

[Gigi Sedlmayer · Rating 5 out of 5]

An amazing read

When I first saw the cover of the book of “Flying Minds” I had to look away. I was, I must confess, I was shocked. But then my eyes went back. I had to find out, what it meant, what it impersonated.

But I still had to ask myself: “What is that?” and became more and more interested. I have read more books from Radi Radev and knew his books and style and I always liked them. Now, what will that cover revile? I bought it.

Now, finishing it, I have to say I loved the little stories. Strange, macabre and alien.

I have to say, that Radi has a lot of imagination and all are very good to read.

An amazing book.

If you love sci-fi then that book is yours and you will love it as I have.
