The Day of the Nefilim

by David L. Major

I can't believe that anyone who has downloaded and read this book has not hurried back here to write a review, and that this is the first one.

I have been reading SF since about 1970, when i was ten years old, having inherited a bookshelf of the greats - heinlein, herbert, azimov, bradbury, vonnegut, etc, when my family moved in to a new house. Since then i have devoured just about everything in most of the genres that have populated the print and electronic worlds as they have matured along with the realities of hard science. I have also been a fan of conspiracy lit, be it templar, illuminati, or of the xfiles sort. In the last year, as a result of having an iphone and discovering manybooks.net, i have started consuming more and more sf from the "unknowns" and "unsigned" which have been showing up with a greater frequency, and the fact of the matter is,

The Day of The Nefalim is one of the best SF novels i have read since i began reading.

Maybe that's just because all of what i have read until now provided the knowledge and context to appreciate the depth of David's work, which didn't allow me to put it down until i finished it. Strait through, in one sitting.

Yeah, that's right, i did not put the book down until i finished reading it. Couldn't.

Well done David. Keep writing. Can't wait to read your next book... You would make Robert Anton Wilson proud, and Douglas Adams smile.

Beasts of New York

by Jon Evans

i thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a bit slow starting, but by the time patch was kidnapped i was hooked. Highly entertaining read for me. I love discovering a book like this, something totally unexpected and chosen at random. Its the great thing of manybooks... discovery.
