This book was fantastic! It was intense, action packed, and I couldn’t put it down. The details and descriptions create the scenery in your mind. You get to know the characters and the back stories were superb. The span from ancient times to present day was really fascinating.

the strong character growth that really brought this novel to life. The personal and more intimate moments between characters and how they interacted with one another brought a moment of true humanity to the narrative, keeping it really grounded. This allowed the reader to feel a deeper connection to the characters as they dealt with everything from genetic experimentation to a dying planet and even surprising contact with humanoid figures, keeping the sci-fi genre alive and well in this narrative.

EXCEPTIONAL! Tremendous Grasp of the Fantasy Genre.
The world-building is beautifully illustrative, allowing for full immersion in the story; readers can expect to feel as though they are flying through rocky canyons aback a griffin themselves

Native American folklore set in scenic Maine. Mr. Conner weaves the past and present with remarkable ease. He details an indestructible 16th-century curse’s beginnings in Haunted Gap to the present-day, Nollesemic village, where Native tribes settled when they abandoned Haunted Gap’s corrupted land.
Mr. Conner has spun a chilling page-turner that captivated me from the beginning. I did not know what to expect when I started this story. But pulled into the storyline,

This was an exciting read, filled with political intrigue. Its refreshing to read a story with strong female characters. The author creates tension by introducing massive cover ups at the upper levels of government. As such, its relevant to the current political scene. More importantly, the action was exciting and the characters believable. I enjoyed this read.

The Price of Partisanship
Ian Conner writes great political thrillers. This being just one. When government shutdowns cause the deaths of his family, a man takes action. The more I read, the more I realized this could and probably has happened. It's scary to realize that people in Washington have the power of life and death
