About this ebook

A new series about mind readers from a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

Everyone thinks I'm a genius.

Everyone is wrong.

Sure, I finished Harvard at eighteen and now make crazy money at a hedge fund. But that's not because I'm unusually smart or hard-working.

It's because I cheat.

You see, I have a unique ability. I can go outside time into my own personal version of reality—the place I call "the Quiet"—where I can explore my surroundings while the rest of the world stands still.

I thought I was the only one who could do this—until I met her.

My name is Darren, and this is how I became entangled with all the Russians and learned that I'm a Reader.

Author

Dima Zales

Dima Zales is a full-time science fiction and fantasy author residing in Palm Coast, Florida. Prior to becoming a writer, he worked in the software development industry in New York as both a programmer and an executive. From high-frequency trading software for big banks to mobile apps for popular magazines, Dima has done it all. In 2013, he left the software industry in order to concentrate on his writing career. Dima holds a Master's degree in Computer Science from NYU and a dual undergraduate degree in Computer Science / Psychology from Brooklyn College. He also has a number of hobbies and interests, the most unusual of which might be professional-level mentalism. He simulates mind-reading on stage and close-up, and has done shows for corporations, wealthy individuals, and friends. He is also into healthy eating and fitness, so he should live long enough to finish all the book projects he starts. In fact, he very much hopes to catch the technological advancements that might let him live forever (biologically or otherwise). Aside from that, he also enjoys learning about current and future technologies that might enhance our lives, including artificial intelligence, biofeedback, brain-to-computer interfaces, and brain-enhancing implants. In addition to his own works, Dima has collaborated on a number of romance novels with his wife, Anna Zaires. The Krinar Chronicles, an erotic science fiction series, has been a bestseller in its categories and has been recognized by the likes of Marie Claire and Woman's Day. If you like erotic romance with a unique plot, please feel free to check it out, especially since the first book in the series (Close Liaisons) is available for free everywhere. Anna Zaires is the love of his life and a huge inspiration in every aspect of his writing. Dima's fans are strongly encouraged to learn more about Anna and her work at http://www.annazaires.com.

    3/5
    Darren Wang Goldberg makes use of his puzzling and unique talent to keep on top at his job as a financial analyst. But when he discovers a woman who apparently has this same talent, he sets out to track her down and get some answers about how the Quiet works. What Darren discovers turns his world upside down and throws him into the center of a kidnapping/power struggle that he is ill-equipped to understand. Will he find he answers he needs? And what will he learn about his extraordinary talent?Told entirely from Darren’s point of view, this science fiction tale is heavy on entertainment and light on hard science, making for a quick read. Readers discover the salient facts right along with Darren, an artifice that keeps them involved in the telling of the tale. Central to the story, Darren is the most fleshed-out of the characters; perhaps successive stories will incorporate stronger characterizations for the supporting characters. Regrettably, Darren, although consistently candid, tends to drift between being either puerile or prurient, keeping him from becoming fully relatable to frustrated readers. The premise at the heart of the narrative is a compelling one; the hinted-at sociological/psychological impact of the Quiet is worthy of further investigation. Hopefully, as the story unfolds in succeeding books, it will rise above its current trite exclusivity as a good/bad trope. Although the predictable story is intriguing enough to encourage readers to continue with the second book in the series, the abrupt ending here fails to tie up even one of the storylines and is certain to be hugely disappointing for everyone. Even if the ending of the book is destined to be a cliffhanger, readers deserve some closure on major points in the current storyline. But it’s the the overuse of an offensive, unnecessary-to-the-plot expletive that is both demeaning and off-putting for readers and lowers the rating for the book.Recommended for readers who enjoy soft science fiction.
