The IRB's Celebrating 10 Years of Intelligent Reviews October 2007-October 2017 Fiction One giant leap for womankind ANDROCIDE INTEL 1 Series, Book 5 By Erec Stebbins 339 pp. Twice Pi Press Reviewed by Eric Petersen Techno thriller master Erec Stebbins is back with the fifth entry in his INTEL 1 series, (the previous entries are also reviewed on this site) taking it in an even darker and more compelling direction that reflects current events in the United States. At this point in the series, INTEL 1, once the FBI’s top counterterrorism unit, headed by former agent “Mad John” Savas and his wife, former agent Rebecca Cohen, has become a super secret “black ops” group, answerable only to President Elaine York, restored to power after a right-wing military coup had ousted her. The coup nearly plunged the United States into a full-scale second civil war, but thankfully, the insurrection was put down and the right defeated after INTEL 1 (and a mysterious computer hacker ca...

THE BIG GREEN TENT

Fiction Dead characters walking THE BIG GREEN TENT By Ludmila Ulitskaya, translated by Polly Gannon 579 pp. Picador  Reviewed by Marty Carlock It appears to me that American fiction writers work to please their readers, while Europeans write to please critics. How else to explain the purple praise lavished on The Big Green Tent , a tome by “one of Russia’s most famous writers,” “a must-read,” “Compelling, addictive reading,” “never boring,” and “As grand, solid and impressively all-encompassing as the title implies”? List me among the ignorati: I can agree only with the first and last of these plugs. For 400 of its almost 600 pages I had to beat myself up to keep reading. Ulitskaya whimsically pursues a kind of anti-narrative, telling a character’s story to its end, killing him or her off – then in the next chapter or so: What? Here’s Olga or Ilya again, young and lusty, living another piece of his/her life. This is a lazy way to write. It relieves the author of the tedium of makin...

Shadowcursed by Gelo Fleisher

Bolen is a thief, plying his trade under the spires of an ancient and sprawling city. Worried that he's growing too old, Bolen has lined up a risky job, just to prove that he can still pull one off. Tonight, he's going to break into a nobleman's vault and help himself to its contents. What he doesn't know is that inside is the key to a secret as old as the city itself. Kings have killed for it, demons have coveted it, priests have prayed for it, and in a few moments it will be in his hands. And when it is, the adventure of his life will begin. I was drawn in by the protagonist, Bolen. He's a guy in his 40's who realizes that he doesn't have the dexterity or strength that he once had. As a guy in his 40's, I can totally relate to that. Screw all these fantasy novels with young men at the peak of physical shape; let's hear it for the middle-aged guys whose bodies have succumbed to time and gravity! Credit Fleisher for capturing a man stuck at the momen...
