Engaging and worth reading!

It is so well written, you cannot put it down. The twists are endless and for a person who reads a lot I didn’t see any of them coming. I couldn’t believe I reached the ending when I did. I will be watching for more from this author. Great read! Highly recommending this book.

Fiction doesn’t get any better!

My new favorite sci-fi author! Hard to believe this is a debut novel!! If you like futuristic fiction coupled with ventures into many times of the past, stories with unexpected, mind boggling twists and turns and strong male and female characters with authentic human traits, then you will love this novel! Also, I really like the author’s note that tells you the actual history and where his story deviated. The only bad thing is that I can’t jump right into the next installment. I hope it is coming out soon!!

Page-Turner with Something for Everyone

This is a SciFi epic with something for everyone.

Spaceships? Check. Time travel? Check. Androids, AI, and a prescient look at other interesting future technologies? Check. Political intrigue? Check. Social and political commentary applicable to the present? Check. Romance? Check. Contemplation of the supernatural and deep philosophical questions? Check. Epic battle scenes and page-turning action? Check. Bad ass heroes? Check. Twists and turns? Oh, you better believe it! And an Ancient Greece history lesson? (What!?) Check!

Back to The Distant Mirror is a colorful tapestry of all of the above and more, expertly woven together by Sam Woodthrush. Hard to believe this is his first go at writing a novel. You will be entertained, and you will learn something. What you will not be is disappointed. Can’t wait for the next installment!
