My only criticism of this book is that it ends with a
cliffhanger. Now I have to get my hands on the next book, fast. Ahhhhhh!
Charlie Pulsipher, how can you do this to me?
At first I had a little trouble getting all the characters
into my head because this is one of those epic books where several different
stories are playing along beside each other. I often hate that, but in this
case it was worth it because all of the stories were equally interesting. Once
I got past the several beginnings, getting to know the characters in each
thread I became very much enthralled in the stories.
I don’t want to put out any spoilers here, but the basics of
the story revolve around a young boy named Kaden who has a secret power to
travel between worlds, a girl name Aren who can see into peoples memories and a
man named James who is involved with a dark, underground science project that
has untold mysterious possibilities.
Put them all together with a lurking, godlike evil presence
and you have the beginning of a story that will draw you in and keep you
reading into the wee hours on a school night.
I recommend this book to readers young adult and up, boys, girls,
men, women, anyone can enjoy this book. It also gets my G rating approval. 5 out of 5 stars
Note: I have now read the next book and it ties up all the ends very nicely, thank you Charlie.
About the author:
1. Tell me a little about yourself. Anything fun or goofy
that we should know?
I'm a huge biology nerd who loves woodworking, art, and
funny television shows. I'm a writer. That probably makes me goofy right off
the bat, but I also built a teardrop trailer from scratch and I do a mean
velociraptor impression. It has been know to make grown men and women scream
and hide behind large vehicles.
2. Where do you live and what is it like to live there?
I live in St. George, Utah. It's one of the most beautiful
places you will ever see, stunning red cliffs, crystal blue skies, majesty and
more majesty. You just have to ignore the fact that it turns into the molten
underbelly of Hades every summer. No matter how hot it gets, you never have to
shovel sunshine, and that makes me pretty happy. I also enjoy the hiking and
camping at my fingertips year round.
3. Tell me a bit about your family/home life (if you don't
mind).
My wife and I have one neurotic dog that is literally afraid
of his own shadow, vacuum cleaners, other dogs, people, exercise balls, and our
yellow clothes hamper. He goes by Mahoney, Moopers, Honzers, Moopy, and Nugget.
We spend a lot of time watching well-written television and reading when I'm
not puttering around my garage.
4. Why do you write? What do you write? Do you have any
weird writing habits? (I know that's 3 questions; just tell me about your
writing.)
I write because I love creating something from nothing with
something as intangible as words. Serious, these little letters that appear on
the screen as I type are just photons that represent sounds. Can you get any
more insubstantial than that? Yet, words are how we create and paint our
realities. I will never stop loving these sorcerous abilities. I write science
fiction, fantasy, the combination of the two, zombie humor, and health and
fitness articles. It's a weird mix, I know. My day job is as a copywriter for a
plant-based supplement company and then I tinker with my own stories when I get
home. I don't know if I have weird writing habits. I suppose spend a lot of
time not actually writing, but dreaming up scenes, conversations, histories,
and just letting my characters play in my head. Anyone watching me would think
I was just a lazy guy who likes laying on the couch and staring at the ceiling
for hours, but I'm writing.
