This is one of only three or four stories on this site that I've given 5 stars to - and it deserves every one of them. The author hits every beat, and does everything right. The pacing is great, with lots of "page-turning" action, highs and lows. Characters are totally believable and not over done. She even knows how to create a proper story ending. All this without stooping to explicit sex scenes or any foul language. Amazing!
In a world filled with mind-readers, the zeros are those unlucky few who can't read minds. Our hero is a zero - until she finds she's really something else. From there, an underground mob and the FBI are out to get her. The ride is one long thrill.
An entertaining and enjoyable story, but a bit heavy on the side of humanistic religion. It's all about altering an alien race's religious beliefs, and ends up doing so by pronouncing mankind as soul-less beings. It is mostly enjoyable because the writing is professional and the characterizations are believable.
One other thing - if you're a die-hard liberal, prepare to be offended.
I thought it was a pretty good story, but the ending was a slight let-down. Pacing was good, characterization not too bad. Held my interest until the end.
A government agency tests a highly unorthodox method for sniffing out major threats.
This story was well-done, and enjoyable. Good action and suspense, as well as a strange draw to the main character, who is not the best case for sympathy.
A mediocre story in which Martians are trying to control Mankind. It was somewhat interesting until the end, at which time the author let it slither into darkness.
I'm being very generous by giving it 3 stars. I didn't think it was quite bad enough to deserve 2.
I tried so very hard to stick with this story, but it is just flat out boring. I gave up about a third of the way through. It's written like a comic book. Perhaps if you like that kind of thing then you'll enjoy it more than I did. But, the characters, the plot, everything just seems to contrived and unbelievable. And there's no action or drive to speak of.
A psionic FBI agent tries to track down a string of odd happenings among members of Congress. An interesting premise, perhaps, but a terrible execution.
This is sort of a \"cutesy\" story, but isn\'t quite as daft as most. The ending is fairly predictable, but again, is handled a little better than most stories of its ilk.
A man trying his best to do a good job inadvertently thwarts evil - or at least his pet does.
