Dead Forever: Awakening (Book 1 of a trilogy) by William Campbell brings us into a world of human beings who have cultivated reincarnation into a procedure essentially as simple as an appendix removal. You die and you get a brand new adult body, complete with all the emotional and experiential memories you possessed at death for an eternity of cycles. Sounds pretty good. Sign me up for bungee jumping, parachuting, etc.

The Dead Don’t Cry. Sounds like a horror tale, perhaps set in a graveyard. The rest of the cover of Mark Anthony Lopez’s first novel proclaims it as a, “science fiction epic.” I’m not so sure about epic, but this is definitely science fiction, not horror.

First, I have to admit I haven’t read (and thoroughly enjoyed) any space opera-type Science Fiction since Restaurant At the End of the Universe which I read back in grade school. Though I loved the movies, I’ve never been a fan of the mass market books that supported the Star Trek and Star Wars enterprises. So, Ken McConnell’s Starstrikers was both a surprise and a pleasure for me.

Do you know the picture of the little fish about to get eaten by the bigger fish, himself about to become dinner for a larger fish, and so on? Turn the fish into a variety of mutants and aliens held together by nanobots, and you have a pretty good starting point for reading Elysian Fields. Typically I try to give you a plot summary, a few quotes, and an idea of what you’re getting yourself into by reading the book I am reviewing. In this case I’m going to have to send you in without the wisdom of my council because there’s just way too much for me to try to make it make sense to you.

If you’ve been reading the POD Diary, then you know I recently purchased an awesome program called Book Cover Pro which I used to design the cover of my own book. I decided to post an ad in the Lulu forum and offer my services to others who are in need of help with their book covers.
