Pendulum of Justice In Print!
For those of you who who have been waiting for the print version of our first novel, it is out! I am giving the Createspace link because I am not sure it is live on amazon yet. So your copy will come sooner, if you buy directly from CS. PoJ has 21 reviews so far with the average review 4.9 out of 5 stars. Enjoy!
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
With two high tech start-ups going gangbusters, former cyber warrior Hank Rangar has finally “made” it. His lab, “Made By Man,” has revolutionized cardiac procedures, potentially saving millions of lives and billions of dollars. But, the most important person in his life is very sick and his technology is suddenly stolen. Hank discovers two things: This lifesaving procedure may be the only way to save his sister AND Big Washington will stop at nothing to bury it.
“Pendulum of Justice reads like a book on anti-gravity: impossible to put down! My main complaint is how come the next book in the series isn’t out already.”

If I give "Pendulum of Justice" (once I've read/heard it) high praise... are you compelled then, in order to trade value for value, to give "Roarke's Drift" (in the unlikely event it's ever finished and less likely event it's published) high praise in return, even if it sucks? Or are you compelled to give an accurate opinion in return?
A negative, but honest, evaluation might well destroy me emotionally (don't count on it), while a dishonest but positive evaluation might encourage me to continue writing and thereby improve my craft.
In other words, in this scenario, where lies value? In the emotions evoked, or in the reason invoked?
(I'm not advocating any position on this, I'm borrowing your mind to explore the question).
I have noticed that some authors use an interesting tactic to review a book they might not be crazy about (maybe it's not their genre) which is to simply give a summation of the story. That would not be my style. I'm a new author and so I am quite sensitive to how other new authors receiving constructive criticism. Ultimately, a consumer has the right to criticize a product they've purchased, no?
In fiction, a bad review stands out. one is always amazed at the number of people who will enjoy what you do not. This would weigh heavily in my decision on giving a review. but I am shiny penny-not mostly copper-new at this. so weigh my opinion appropriately.
you're not talking about my book are you? lol or grimace
Which is different from "good men". Yet now the only form I ever see is as you cited it.
