About the author

James Holler is not your conventional author. Unlike many who discovered their passion for storytelling in their youth, James unearthed his talent later in life, during his tenure at a large corporation.
His literary journey began on a whim when he entered a writing contest, never expecting to win. To his astonishment, his story was not only a winner but was published in the newspaper of a mid-sized city.
The true power of his words hit home when he shared the story with his cousin, who was moved to tears. This revelation astounded James and solidified his belief in the profound influence of the written word.
James found his love for writing at an age when many are considering retirement. His debut novel, Village E3, marks the beginning of his literary journey. Just recently complete, Return to Village E3 continues the journey.

WOW!!!

I had to give this one five stars because I couldn't put it down! I definitely recommend this book to read, especially if you're into sci-fi. I hope there will be a part two...

Very interesting! I'm still left with so many questions, haha! I guess I'll have to read book 2 to hopefully get those answers.

It was a very fun and interesting plot! The beginning sort of reminded me of watching an episode of Alone.

Not a bad read but some parts were boring here and there. The book has suspense, drama, romance, adventure, and it was interesting. A must read for book lovers everywhere.

An interesting story, with an ending that confused me somewhat. This is the first of a series, so now it makes me want to see how the second one goes.
The writing was simplistic, and I wondered if it was due to the target age group. I am not sure. The descriptive writing gave a vision of what was happening, but again, it was a basic structure for me. I am used to the weaving details that keep your mind moving to the next scene without a stutter or stop, breaking the connection. It did, however, give you the full picture of who, what, and where, with keen interest, just with a different style of writing.
I did like the story. It kept the interest and questions of what happened ongoing throughout the book. There were three main characters in the story, starting with one, then introducing the other two. There were gaps in the storyline that I thought should be there, though, such as the backgrounds of the characters. Getting past that, the rest was enough to keep the plot intact, keeping you reading.
Although I had more questions that didn’t get answered, hopefully they will be revealed in the second book. I think readers would enjoy this story. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars for the interesting concept outweighing the issues I had with the writing.
