I loved this book with a twist and turn mystery that held my interest to the final page. Forensic psychologist Jake Danser finds he is the center of an investigation into the murder of one of his patients, even though the police on the case have worked with him before, because all of the evidence they have points directly to Danser. This is an author who knows how to tell a good story. I look forward to seeing other books by this writer.

Known for so many years as guilty pleasure, reading these books continue to pour out to fans like myself every couple of months. The stories are written by several authors and detail the adventures of Mack Bolan who fights terrorists and others in a never-ending war. The books are always good escapism and this one is one of the best in a long time. In this one there is a radioactive toxin that Bolan has to shut down before it is set off to cause so much damage and destruction.

Now seventeen, Kipton is on another case of murder on the planet Mars in the 8th novel of the Kipton Chronicles. Fontenay, a master storyteller, has once again combined the best elements of science fiction with those of the mystery genre in a very fascination story that is filled with interesting characters like gruff, who helps her solve the puzzling tale. Fontenay has also included the Asimov Laws of Robotics for the Android character who has confessed to the murder that sets up the rest of the novel.

I enjoyed this biography of one of the most important actors to the show “Star Trek” because throughout the book, the author is always very positive about DeForest Kelly who played Dr. McCoy. Unlike other books by the stars of the show where they were ridiculously negative about certain aspects of the show and movies, this author shows the real DeForest Kelly to be a very private person as well as an actor who had worked in many genres and types of film before “Star Trek” Also unlike other actors of the show he never felt or resented being typecast, and loved the character of Dr. McCoy. I am a Trek fan like most and learned a lot about a very fine actor who is no longer with us. The author’s work is a tribute to the man who made the character so much fun to watch.
