The BookViral Review:
An unrelenting, no excuses Cyberpunk Science Fiction thriller that is powerful in its revelatory immediacy and enthralling in its intrigue Nasri’s Into the Violet Gardens proves a big novel in terms of its many rich characters and the size of its vision.
Confidently delivering on both scores, Nasri’s novel evolves steadily. Growing richer with every chapter, whilst continuing to feed us with tantalizing morsels of information about The Virtuals.
His plot is intelligent and suspenseful, developing along more or less standard thriller lines without the need for unnecessary complexity and seamlessly integrating futuristic hi-tech to create a dynamic narrative that explores future militarism along with its underpinning values system. This, in turn, adds an important degree of moral and intellectual depth.
Nasri’s characters are wonderfully drawn and nonpareil in their human failings and imperfections without the need for genre tropes. Whilst the technological descriptions are kept to a bare minimum and play well to Nasri’s overarching story.
But look closer and in his subtext, you will find an element of philosophy as he explores the social implications and prejudices of being an augmented human and it’s this that makes Into the Violet Gardens a Cyberpunk Science Fiction thriller with a difference. A novel with an uncompromising intensity that embraces everything that’s good about the genre yet doesn’t batter the sense and sensibilities of the reader.
With impressive plot twists and a host of memorable characters like Troy Levi, Soriana and Eva, Nasri has delivered an original and compelling Cyberpunk Science Fiction thriller that is highly recommended!
A ‘go to’ bible throughout a child’s development. Emma L Smith gently reminds us how to mindfully support a child’s numeracy, starting from the very beginning of a child’s life, and throughout their formative years.
As with A Beginner’s Guide to Sustainable Plant-Based Weight-Loss, the amount of ground covered is truly impressive. From the role of the gut to gut facts. From prebiotics to gut microbiota and how gut microorganisms influence our emotions and the way we behave Corbitt demystifies gut science so that we may understand the laws that govern it.
Few Crime Fiction authors genuinely excel at successfully misleading their readers and revealing an unlikely suspect as the real villain of the story and those that do can invariably be found at the very top of Whodunit Bestseller lists.
A child’s imagination is a wonderful thing. The suspension of disbelief comes easy to them. As we get older we think in terms of our willingness to suspend our critical faculties and believe something surreal whilst sacrificing realism and logic for the sake of enjoyment.
It’s been glamorized in fiction and films. Think Fatal Attraction or Single White Female but jealousy isn’t a sign of love. It’s a negative and destructive emotion stemming from both desire and insecurity.
Whilst there is undoubted value in considering historical context, not least because past forces, individuals and trends both shape the present and provide valuable lessons for our future decisions, is historical fiction of any value?
