Infinite Loop

by Gordon Brewer

Purgatory can feel like Hell when you die repeatedly. Warren remembers his first death. He expected to be wearing wings or something similar by now. Instead, he’s stuck in a purgatory. He’s flesh and blood filled with all of the vices and desires he held before. The afterlife is an eerie film world where he must play a character within some obscure movie from the past. In a bizarre reality already engraved into celluloid by long dead writers, Warren knows he’s going to be killed with no way out of his nightmare. Following his last death at hands of a pretty woman, Warren awakes inside a new character aboard a tramp steamer returning from Cuba during the 1930s. He is involved with an unsavory group of associates and his new ally, Amber, looks vaguely familiar. By the time their ship docks in Boston, Warren is accused of two murders, just one-step away the police and the gallows. Can he live long enough to find the real murderer, or does he remain the victim inside the Infinite Loop?

About the author

The home of writer, Gordon Brewer, is called The Pulpist, an independent publication (www.gordonbrewer.com) and a place to discover all of Gordon's speculative and occult mystery fiction, dark fantasy, along with a sprinkling of other genres.

Gordon Brewer is the pseudonym for a professional geek, history buff, and full time dad who took up a challenge from his son to finish his first novel and enter the world of writing. Raised on a farm in Kansas, the author spent nearly 5 years in the US Navy traveling to 12 different countries during this time. After his discharge, he received his BS degree with double majors in History and Political Science.

Over the next 20 years, Gordon focused on the business and IT world. His experiences left him with a need to explore wide ranging interests in multiple genres, each with historical consideration given to the characters and settings.

Residing in Tennessee, he often uses his family and friends as unfortunate guinea pigs where they are forced to listen to his tales, no matter how poorly conceived they may be.

Reviews

[Rick Papazian · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book needs to be edited. There are typos and missed words and errors on every other page. Literally. Almost as if it was a first or second draft. Having said that, it was interesting. I enjoyed the book. It brought me back to Raymond Chandler's plots, if not a smattering of his style. The spirit world and other dimensions were used in conjunction to heighten the suspense of this 1930's noir melodrama. I wasn't keen on the ending, in that I do not have the same philosophical thoughts on the afterlife as the author or what he thinks his characters believe.
I suggest the author take this out of circulation and have it edited. It is publishable material in a finished form.
