Pseudoverse #2
Crimson
Can technology truly learn to love? If so, which is more important, that love, or the instructions it will receive to perform its duties? Once the Pseudosynths are exposed what will happen to the technology they leave behind. In this foreshadowing to the Pseudoverse Series, learn who and why America is so vulnerable to attack by the technology we have trusted for so long. In this sequel to Cobalt, Crimson is an homage to Hammer Film Studios (Bray) in the essence of "The Studio That Dripped Blood". Crimson has the overall feel of old school horror mixed with a dash of new school science fiction. Prepare to 'stiffen' up a bit as Crimson stings her way into your connective tissue. Brought to its knees, America, and the entire planet, is on the brink of disaster, and only one thing stands in their way of completing their satanic programming. Petra is in for the fight of her life as this ever-growing evil plagues the earth. Crimson is a mind-bending action-packed science fiction novel.

All right this was a really good book, now I have to read book one! Petra was so fun and sarcastic, she is also majorly addicted to Twinkies. Also really love the pop culture references. There were definitely some moments that had me laughing and wondering what the hell did I just read. I was provided a copy of this book for free from the author by request and these are my honest thoughts!

Petra is back in the second Trinity novel, this time she’s pitted against the Crimson Alliance, a group believed controlled by a Chinese Shadow organization. There is a lot happening in this one. First, the Guidestones in Georgia attract planes like a magnet, causing a great catastrophe with many dead and injured. Evidence leads Petra to Hawaii where she finds Dreama, the daughter of Ray Nelson. She is bringing her back to the mainland when she crashes in front of another cataclysm wiping half of California off the map, and making Nevada the new seacoast. Now duplicates of Petra are striking, killing anyone in their path and causing destruction across America. The president, with Ray Nelson’s help, device a military strike against North Korea and China.
This was another fun romp by the author of COBALT, a science fiction action yarn with humor and plenty of action. You don’t have to believe it, just go along for the ride. The author is enjoying himself, and you should too. I would be amiss if I didn’t say something about Captain Petra Kayden Dace’s aircraft – yes, she was promoted to captain at the end of the last novel. Also in that novel she acquired 8 drones she named after patriotic men: George, Joan Paul, Patrick, Benjamin, Thomas, Than, James, etc. They can morph into anything, in this case a P35B jet plane. I also called Petra the future Captain America last time, but in this novel she reminded me more of Wonder Woman and her invisible plane. One more comment I feel that I have to make; these books are being sold at cost, not for profit. If readers are looking for their money’s worth, plus a darn good read, these books are for you. Highly recommended.

Crimson
C. G. Blade
Reviewed by Roy Murry, Author
Conspiracies have been abounding since JFK's murder. They have multiplied over the years into all realms of conjecture. When a real one exists, will we recognize it?
It is 2076, Blade's heroine of book one of his trinity series, Petra, a Cobalt semi- A.I., comes out of a four-month state of rehabilitation to find herself confronted with a Conspiracy against the USA. Who or what is behind it?
The North American Continent is being attacked by numerous disasters that scientifically is not explainable. Petra is given the task to get to the root of the problem.
With her new programming including a humor side, she and Ter, her computer counterpart, confront the evil attacking the American way of life. In that confrontation, Crimson, another semi- A.I. and a company of characters have become an enemy that is formidable.
The battle is on an international scale and me, the reader, marveled at the ingenuity of the weaponry. The exciting result appeases me for a moment until learning that it was not what it seemed to be.
The caveat is set to entice the reader to want more of the action, characters, historical notes, the humor, and the battle against a Conspiracy.
A great transition for this Trinity to keep the reader interested. Cobalt set the stage for this Sci-Fi Thriller. But this novel stands alone as an individual read.

CG Blade is a literary genius. I couldn't put Crimson down devouring it almost as fast as Cobalt, the first novel in this series. If you like futuristic, sci-fi political thrillers full of cyborgs, sarcasm and pop culture references then you will not only love this book but the entire series. I've read them all. I can't wait to read his next installment from the Pseudosynthpress Universe and plan on reading every book he writes. He's that good, believe me. You won't regret reading his books.

Fun book! Sexy, cyborg, superhero chick takes on high tech bad guys. This book has me craving Twinkies, so you've been warned.

This series just keeps getting better and better. Wow! The historical facts and the sarcasm just blend together so well in this fast-paced story. Crimson has got to be the most carefully developed pseudohuman I have ever read about. Love the part about trying to create Satan. I am still trying to figure out who exactly is behind everything. The communications between Petra and Ter are wonderful. You can almost feel Petra's frustration with the laugh file. I find it awesome that Petra is blue and has no feelings while the evil part is red and is lustful and evil. Interesting concept that most people can relate too. Of course I am patiently waiting for the next book in the series. Purple, a mix of red and blue? What do we get?
Kudos to the author, I believe I may decide I like SciFI after all!

This is an action packed sequel to Cobalt, book 1 of the Trinity series. The sequel picks up the fun and hits the throttle hard. The overall feel of the book accomplishes what the author wants - old school horror with a dash of new school action.
The Trinity series rocks. Cobalt was one of my favorite books in 2015 and Crimson gets 2016 off to a great start. Petra is such an awesome character and her portrayal is everything I could've hoped for. Give Mr. Blade's books a try - you'll love every minute of them.

I was stoked to get part 2 in the Trinity series because I loved Cobalt so much. Now there's an evil nemesis creating havoc yet Cobalt still is very much in this one-which I love. She's the epitome of the perfect woman.
CG Blade dazzles you with his description and takes the readers through this murderous yet humorous sci-fi tale like only he can. I really enjoy his work. It's as if you're engrossed in a major motion picture !
If you haven't read any of his work, you're missing out. Begin with Cobalt. You won't be disappointed.
Trouble comes in one of my favorite colors...RED!!
