Epsilon
by R. James Stevens
Clarity (Epsilon Book 1)
Duality (Epsilon Book 2)
In the year 2077, the world is stricken by an epic natural disaster, sounding the death knell of modern technology. Sent back to the Dark Ages, billions perish in the aftermath. Seven years later, the scattered populace is left to fend for themselves against rogue organizations that seize the opportunity for a power play in a world without power.
Three individuals; three separate paths. All will be irreversibly entwined as they search for the answers in an attempt to reassemble the pieces of their broken lives. But will they find what they seek, or will they stumble upon the devastating truth that lies just beyond their reach?
The Epsilon series explores the events seven years after the catastrophic death of a technological society.
The first installment, Clarity, begins in 2084 and focuses both forward and back on the raw, emotional journeys of former friends and partners. Will they band together to help right wrongs and restore order to the scattered remnants of the populace? Or will their quests for individual fulfillment tear apart an already worn bond?

Terosan Tales
on Aug. 03, 2014
Terosan Tales is a collection of shorts by up-and-coming author Edward A Thompson. I had the great fortune of making friends with Edward on social media, and am I glad that I did. He is a writer with talents that is reminiscent of the days of old school SciFi writers like Asimov and Bradbury. As I've mentioned in past reviews, I am a big fan of 'classically-written' literature, and Terosan falls nicely into that niche. Most novels today are written in more of a "Hollywood-style" prose. That is to say that they give you most everything to complete the story, whereas a classically-done work relies more on the imagination of the reader to connect the inferences into something that is each reader's own. Think of a read as a motor - the words are the fuel, but the reader's imagination is the engine itself. I heartily applaud Mr. Thomson's efforts in his debut, and I sincerely hope to read more from him in the future. From the true SciFi, coming-of-age mini-tale of Qevon in 'Deck 20' and "Gnir's Raid", to the 2001-esque 'Fallen Gods of Cheam' (my personal favorite) and space opera pirate fest 'The Pirate Queen'- there's something in this set for the SciFi aficionados in all of us. If I had to have any beef about this group of works is that I want to see more! Kudos, Mr. Thomson, on a job well done!
