Our Review |
Opinion of the webmaster, subject to debate |
So just how good could a novel be titled Element 115 ?
Surprisingly, it's not bad. The references to 115 do seem to be
a bit contrived, and serve as shallow window dressing for a more
complex, but standard issue, secret agent story. Many would say that
any references to element 115 should be in a work of fiction,
but we digress....What makes this story a little different is the
hero is actually a heroine (Well, it is the 90s). Did we mention
there lots of sex in the story? More sex than aliens, and even alien
sex. Hotcha! It's also a looong book, guaranteed to keep you out of
trouble for a while. Is it great literature? Not at all, but it is
an amusing diversion for a rainy day (actually several rainy days).

From the Book Cover
Brandon Largo is an agent with a top secret
government organization called SIRROCO. When what is
considered a routine mission goes awry, she finds herself
split between two realities.
Combining the conspiracy theories of extraterrestrial
presence on earth, the government's involvement and
cooperation with aliens, cover-ups, dangerous experiments on
human subjects, and speculation from quantum
physics on parallel universes, the author has created a
rollicking good adventure, replete with sex, action and a
mind-bending twist that will leave the reader wanting more.
For fans of popular television shows such as The
X-Files, Dark Skies, The Burning Zone and Sliders, as well as
UFO buffs and aficionados of conspiracy literature, this book
will satisfy your tastes. For those interested in a high-action
adventure with plenty of erotic intrigue and romance.
there's something here for you, as well.
The author has managed to combine elements of science
fiction with political intrigue to create a novel that is fast-paced
and highly entertaining. She points out. that she is not a
literary writer. she writes only in an attempt to entertain.
Entertainment is an apt description for this novel.
Within pages it hooks the reader and takes him on a wild
ride, slowing only occasionally, long enough to allow you to
catch your breath before it soars again.
The author claims that her stories are not meant to inform
and yet there are elements within it that tempt the reader
to head for the Internet to seek out information. The
information base of this novel is cleverly hidden within the
story, but there, nonetheless.
If an entertaining read is something you want, then give
this book a try. You won't be disappointed.
