Journey / SecretAgentMan Volume 1: SecretAgentMan

By Mykl Walsh and Richard Saunders

SecretAgentMan is an epic work of historical fiction, set primarily in New England from 1955 to the present day.

“February, 1956. Ten months after the death of Albert Einstein, Lawrence Ronald Howard is born at Holy Family Hospital in Methuen, Massachusetts. An average looking child, he gave no outward sign that behind innocent blue eyes, his mind burned with genius.

He will spend a lifetime walking a tightrope, blindly negotiating the dark narrow corridor between brilliance and madness. Unaware that he is guided by forces unseen, Ron embarks on a strategy to hide his genius, to cloak it behind a facade of ordinariness.

To the outside world he is everyman, a simple tradesman without an estate. In truth, he is a giant of his time. Using little more than the power of his own mind he profoundly alters the scientific and political landscape of the twentieth and twenty first centuries.”

Reviews for Journey / SecretAgentMan Volume 1

[mypennameonly · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The author had a giveaway for copies of this book on GoodReads and I won one of the copies being offered; and the following is my honest opinion.This is the first book I’ve read/reviewed which has the multi-genre combination of science fiction/fantasy, historical fantasy and I found it quite interesting once I got into reading it.Being a child of the 1950’s, I couldn’t help but sense elements of television shows I had watched as a child coming into play as elements of the storyline. The main character Lawrence R Howard determination of hiding his true personae of being highly intelligent, being able to solve problems affecting everyone, changing the political environment of the world, without concern to himself, under the disguise of being a meek individual. This reminds me of the Danger Man/Secret Agent television shows of the 1960’s, which probably also played a part in the book’s title and creation.The idea of being reincarnated reminds me of Dr. Who, who when the time came to “move on” became another individual.The concept of an earth-like planet in this book, the trip to a “new” world and remnants of an old, etc., when coupled with the way Mr. Howard signed his name for a trial by jury request [L. Ron “Howard] created an image of L. Ron Hubbarb in the back of my mind, which is probably wrong.For the reading experience given me by this book, I’m giving it 4 STARS
