    In the real world, there is no place one can go that is truly idyllic, and there is nowhere one can start anew that is genuinely safe.
    That is what we clearly read about and mentally observe in this realistic fiction and one of the best psychological thriller novels of RWK Clark, ‘Passing Through’.

    Set in the fictional town of Thompson Trails, Virginia in modern times. Clark tells the best horror story of a very small town where two newcomers have relocated and set up a cabin resort for Appalachian Hikers.

    Townsfolk accepted them right away and loved them like they had been born there. But, this new couple is about to face an experience too terrifying and unforgettable that will ultimately ruin their lives as well as several others in this perfect little piece of heaven.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Little do they all know, a horrible murderer, who has been incarcerated for heinous crimes, has escaped from prison just as northern Virginia is about to get hit with a record blizzard. But the trusting innocence of these small-town people will prove to be their undoing, for they cannot conceive the likes of the stranger they are helping on that snowy night. What he has in store for them was unimaginable, and for the next day and a half, this man terrorizes this town horribly, leaving a permanent scar.

    The main reason why I added this novel to the best psychological thriller novels of all time list.

    They are all trapped together, with no power, no phones, and no help in sight. But there is a state patrol captain who has been trying to get the news around, even in the horrible storm, that a serial killer is loose, and he just happened to get a split-second heads up that he was spending the night in Thompson Trails. Unfortunately, the town lost all means of communication right after that awareness came.

    Now, the roads are all impassible, and there is no way in or out of town, but Elliot Keller, mass murderer, is already up to his fun and games. Everyone who encounters him face to face pays with their life, and the outlook is more than grim, it is deadly. He is a sick man with a sick agenda, dealing with unsuspecting people who never see him coming.

    Characters of the book

    The main characters of the new horror book include Rick and Donna Welk, a twenty-something couple who has moved to the town to open up the cabin resort and begin a new life after suffering a devastating loss.

    Elliot Keller, aka Elias Derringer, is the escaped mass murderer, who was tried and convicted for the murders of three college girls, and a brutal assault on their male companion, who he left for dead, but survived. Keller escapes the death penalty on a trumped-up technicality and patiently plans for more than five years to escape and wreak havoc once again.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Secondary characters who are significant to the new psychological thriller novel, but brief in part, include Sheriff Bob Brown, his wife Rosie, Deputy Darren Rush and his wife Avery, and finally, Captain Russell Johnson and Detective Jackson Fowler of the Virginia State Patrol, both who are racing against the storm and the clock to stop the madman before it’s too late.

    This is a very harsh book coming from this particular author.

    Though he typically writes psychological thriller books on some level, they are all realistic fiction and very easy to read and digest, and they don’t leave you traumatized. ‘Passing Through’ is the polar opposite. It is graphic realistic fiction, very violent and cold in heart, and it is full of grief. Even the signature twist that Clark provides does little to give hope to readers. For him, it proves to be a big leap in the thriller genre, and fans will likely feel the same way.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    This is the kind of scary stories book that has a couple of lessons, but mostly, it tells a very grim, sad story that could easily happen in real life. He doesn’t go easy on his readers with this one. Some of his fans are going to adore this classic horror book; they are going to love the lengths Clark goes to with both the plot and characters, as well as the harsh realities of his storytelling here.

    On the same token, he will have fans who may feel shocked with this realistic fiction. I am personally one of the former, and I think this is one of the best psychological thriller novels I’m glad he went out on this limb.

    Suspense thriller fiction book recommendations.

    It is not a psychological horror book that children should delve into. As a parent, you should definitely consider the truth that this is adult fiction, perhaps a horror books for teens list. It is horribly real, and it is not to be taken lightly. Otherwise, grown-up horror lovers and serial killers story fans like myself will be impressed; RWK Clark has really done a great job, and he has shown how far he has come as a writer in the pages of this psychothriller.

    I would easily recommend ‘Passing Through’ to the right horror fiction audience. If you aren’t afraid to stomach something so harsh, and you are intrigued by the mind and actions of a killer, this is going to be the best horror book for you. If, however, you prefer his lighter works, his off-the-cuff humor, or the fun he has with ‘monsters’, I’d steer clear of this thriller. But I feel sorry for that group, because you are going to be missing out on one of RWK Clark’s best psychological thriller novels yet.

    Overtaken Captive States Writer’s Commentary

    One Of My Best Science Fiction Novels Overtaken Captive States Alien Invasion

    Get a copy of Overtaken now.

    This particular fiction novel was one of the very first I have written. Also, it is the only one I have penned with a focus on alien invasion. I think that the computer hacker premise of the book is good, and the story is fairly spooky overall.

    The prologue consists of nothing but random characters in scattered cities. It relates the very first ufo sightings of the invasion of the Oppressors from varying points of view. As far as an introduction goes, it is superficial, but it is effective because of this fact. Once the invasion of alien life becomes confirmed reality. I introduce the main characters of this science fiction novel and tell the story.

    This is an alien invasion story that really doesn’t have the obligatory ‘happy ending’; nothing about this situation could possibly end happily for humans, and I wasn’t going to pretend it could. But to me, the invasion itself is not the scariest part of ‘Overtaken’; being tested to determine if you are of enough value to live or die is even more frightening. The pressure of the situation, and the truth that even if you pass the tests, you will go to a foreign planet forever, is a grim thought of abduction to have on one’s shoulders. In the real world, people would commit suicide if faced with the prospect. The main reason why I consider this to be one of my best science fiction novels.

    It gets better.

    There always has to be a hero or two, even if they ultimately are only saving themselves. The character of Josh Nichols takes readers to Washington, DC, with front row seats. Josh works as a code writer at the Pentagon. He is a young, ambitious man with all of his supposed ducks in a row. Something of a workaholic, Josh has no family or girlfriend in DC; he was born and raised in Iowa, so he’s still fairly green behind the ears.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Kamryn Reynolds is Josh’s polar opposite. With a history of security hacker crimes and street-life, she is a seasoned, semi-tough computer hacker who is always dodging the law. When the invasion takes place, these two meet accidentally, and now the hacking stories begin.

    But here’s the kicker.

    In an effort to pick up the pace in this supernatural thriller, I gave humankind a deadline, so to speak. Josh and Kamryn must get this all figured out before they are herded away for themselves.

    You might be wondering.

    What is the testing for? This was the fun part for me, because the concept does spark fear in my heart. So, am I being tested for strengths, or weaknesses? What will be done to me, extermination-wise, if I fail either way? Worse yet, what will happen to me if I ‘pass’? It all consists of question marks which dance gleefully around the unknown, and the unknown is the scariest thing in the world. The second reason why I consider this to be one of my best science fiction novels.

    Here’s the deal.

    Now, we should probably consider the question: Why choose Josh and Kamryn to try and save the day? Well, dear reader, I think the answer is obvious: It makes for a story that is much more fun and relatable, and because, well… It’s time for a computer hacker hero. But seriously, isn’t it hard to relate to every super-hero character there is? Real life consists of real people, and that’s what these two kids represent. Yet another reason why I consider this to be one of my best science fiction novels.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Want to know the best part?

    ‘Superior’ is another character I enjoyed playing with. He is the soulless, alien leader of the Oppressors, and his mission is destruction to his gain. He couldn’t care less about these ‘humans’. To him, they are like cockroaches in a deserted house; they must be exterminated before the new tenants can move in. From that perspective, it is his nature to be who he is and do what he is doing to humanity, just as it is our nature to love puppies and kitties and show compassion. The Oppressors are not able to think or feel in the same way.

    The president, and all of his high-end, star-spangled advisors, are at a loss. The reason for this is simple: If aliens ufos came, and they had the technology to get here, chances are they have it over on us. It would be a losing battle if indeed we had to fight one. None of the governments computer geniuses from SETI or NASA think like Kamryn or Josh, which forces the president’s hand. I almost wrote these high-ranking officials as ‘bumbling’, because that’s how I saw them in my mind’s eye. They have been so busy thinking they were omnipotent that they never stopped to think about their own mortality. Bumbling, like I said.

    What’s the bottom line?

    I liked the way all of the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ worked out the way they did. I hope readers have a good time with this grim story, and enjoy one of my best science fiction novels Overtaken. Besides that, I hope that fans get out of  the book all I put into it: From the fiction to the fear.

    Overtaken Captive States Character Profile

    Josh Nichols

    This young man is not really considered a computer hacker.Hhe is more of a code writer at the Pentagon in Washington, DC, but he hails from the small town in Iowa. Josh’s parents are alive, but they stayed in the heartland. Josh is literally winging it in life on his own, but he is smart, confident, and driven, so he is unafraid. Josh has no girlfriend, and he is typically too busy in work to hang out with others and have fun. He is dependable, and he is making his parents very proud of him. Though a nerd by nature, Josh is in good shape, and he is very attractive, with longish dark brown hair that he wears a bit feathered; his eyes are brown as well.

    Kamryn Reynolds

    Kamryn is a petite girl with blonde hair and green eyes. She is highly intelligent but has absolutely no upbringing as far as moral responsibility is concerned. She is a professional computer hacker and is mostly concerned with staying under the cops’ radar and maintaining her freedom. When the invasion happens, Kamryn takes off, and this is when she meets Josh Nichols.

    She is quick and attentive to detail, making her the primary candidate for helping bring down the Oppressors. Kamryn falls for Josh just as easily as he does for her, and they must consummate their love in some strange places. These chain of events ad some romantic suspense to the novel. Fortunately, Kamryn’s inhibitions don’t really exist. This makes this one of the best science fiction novels.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    President Andrew Mason

    President Mason is a man in his mid-forties who is responsible for the greatest country on Earth, but he is in no way ready to deal with the Oppressors when they arrive. He is handsome, with sandy-brown hair and dark light blue eyes. He is always surrounded by advisors and the like, but he is scared to death with the situation at hand, and it shows in the sketchiness he demonstrates.

    Mason is the kind of man who is quick to turn to those around him for answers while maintaining a façade of full control. He is the first character to demonstrate the desperate state of man; Mason knows the end is near, and he begins to think about his family, and his love for them. Even in his weakness, Mason possesses a level of wisdom, and he gravitates toward Josh just a bit, sort of in a mentoring fashion.

    Superior

    Superior is the leader of the Oppressors and leading occupant of the mothership, which is under his command. He has a couple of underlings: Secondary, who is his ‘right-hand alien’, and Subordinate, who is basically a lackey for secondary. Even these ever-present companions to the old general are scared to death of him, and it shows.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    He is the sort of individual who will kill you just as soon as look at you, and he is also the sort to lie to his own people to fulfill his own desires and cravings. It is directly by his extraterrestrial life that the Oppressors spend centuries at war, and this comes out as the story progresses. He would like people to believe he is full of mercy and compassion, but he has ulterior motives for every seemingly merciful move he makes.

    Tall, with large hands and common receding hairline, Superior and all of his people look very much like human beings, with most of the major differences being in size and proportion. The name ‘Superior’, as well as the names of other Oppressors, are simply the closest thing to human pronunciation they can come up with; the alien language is unpronounceable with human lips.

    Sharon, the Secretary

    She is the secretary in the Pentagon and makes several small appearances in the pages of this book. She is a sharp-dressing blonde bombshell who is constantly fetching coffee or other needed items. With a penchant for bright red lipstick, she seems to catch every male eye, but Sharon keeps to herself and does her job well. Another reason why this is one of the best science fiction novels.

    Huck Brown, June Ellison, and Jake Hartwell

    These three characters are rooting in the prologue, and the arrival of three Oppressor spaceships is told from their perspectives of the ufo sightings. Huck is a filling station employee whose mean-spirited head is mostly full of rocks. June Ellison is an insurance company employee in Mesa who pretty much cracks up at the sight of an extraterrestrial ship. Jake Hartwell is a doctor in Baltimore who is on his way to his son’s school to deal with the fact that the kid has stolen his gun when he first spies the flying saucer. Each of them could be anyone, and each of them is simply going about their day-to-day lives when the Oppressors arrive.

    When it comes to war, there are never any winners. In R.W.K. Clark’s alien encounters science fiction novel, ‘Overtaken Captive States’, this point is made crystal clear. To what extremes would you expect your government to take in an alien invasion to ensure the safety of its people?

    This one of the best suspense books is primarily set at the Pentagon in Washington, DC. It is there that readers get the ‘inside scoop’ regarding the invasion of the Oppressors and the reaction of the US government. It is also here that one of the main characters, a code writer, works as a computer genius, at least to some level; he is a shoo-in when the powers that be seek someone to formulate a plan of defense. There is a single mothership hovering over Washington, but there are several other ships that are hovering over cities as well, but the only time we really visit these areas of action is in the prologue.

    The Oppressors fully intend to take over Earth, and they will do this solely for the rich resources it has to offer. Making this one of the best suspense books by R.W.K. Clark.

    Here’s the deal.

    The answer is frightening: Humans are to be ‘herded’ in preset groups to testing facilities erected by the Oppressors. No preferences are made for families; each man is for himself. These facts contribute to the creepiness of this novel. None of us want to be alone when we die; we don’t even want to live if we have no one to love and live with. It is the little sprinklings like this that add to the surreal quality of this one of the best suspense books.

    This is where Josh really comes in. With a new friend and professional hacker, Kamryn Reynolds, Josh begins to search for a way to breach the mothership’s computer and render the ship defenseless by collapsing its shield. The problem is, they are scheduled to be herded, just like everyone else, and the computer on the ship is like nothing he or Kamryn has ever dealt with. The odds they are facing are astronomical. Another reason why this is one of the best suspense books by R.W.K. Clark.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    It gets better.

    The main characters of this one of the best suspense thriller books include code writer, Josh Nichols, and pro hacker, Kamryn Reynolds. The president, Andrew Mason, and the alien leader, ‘Superior’, are also prime players. Other than that, there is a handful of supporting characters, consisting of government advisors and alien underlings.

    There are not so many characters that this book is hard to keep up with, and each existing one has a unique personality unto themselves. This especially applies to Superior; he is evil, but not because he has chosen it. It is in his nature, and even though he is ruthless, this is something that can’t be ignored. Big players include the vice-president Henry Whitaker, Miles James, the head of Homeland Security, Carson Wood, the Secretary of Defense, and finally Peter Wells, the head of Josh’s unit at the Pentagon.

    You might be wondering.

    This is not an exceptionally graphic or bloody science fiction story, and Clark even adds some romantic suspense between Josh and Kamryn which makes the story of this one of the best suspense books to move along nicely. From their perspective, readers are able to consider what love would be like in the last days and weeks of existence. Would you be able to function and go on knowing the chances of death were great? Not only that but how would it feel to face such a situation with a romantic relationship going on? Questions like these assist this one of the best suspense in catering to a diverse audience.

    But here’s the kicker.

    It is important to note that, from the beginning, I picked up on a certain tone in the novel. While specific survivors may cause readers to cheer, the point is not the survival; in this situation are the survivors really winning at all? That is the question to ask at this time.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    What’s the bottom line?

    While readers consider all of these points, they will still discover that they have hope: Hope that the humans will find a magical solution. Hope that somehow everything will be okay, and life will return tomorrow when the sun comes up. And hope that, even though the chances are slim, they might get a chance with someone they love, instead of being surrounded by strangers.

    ‘Overtaken Captive States’ is the only suspense thriller book RWK Clark has written about alien encounters or an alien invasion of any kind. He has included everything from supernatural thriller to romantic suspense and provides readers with a ‘by the skin of my teeth’ ending. There are a few lessons to learn from these pages of this high-speed tale of invasion, and it is the intelligence behind the idea that makes it possible to make you think.

    One Of My Best Romance Thriller Books To Read.

    Get a copy of Out to Sea now.

    I consider ‘Out to Sea’ to be one of my best romance thriller books to read. ‘Out to Sea’ was a project that I had to walk a fine line with. I intended for it to be a work with a very pertinent message, while forming a bond between star-crossed teen lovers. With the state of the future world in shambles, it was somewhat difficult to know when and where romance was truly appropriate; after all, the planet is dying before the eyes of the main characters, and they are literally watching everyone basically celebrate it. It’s the sort of thing that can ruin the mood.

    The basic plot of the book revolves around a chemical spill. The fact of the matter is that the end will come at a direct result of this, and most everyone is painfully aware that the future is dark and grim.

    Here’s the deal.

    There are those, however, who have found a way to exploit the situation. The spill has made the appearance of the water indescribably gorgeous, even entrancing, to a certain level. People purchase atrociously priced luxury cruises on the best cruise ships for the sole purpose of gawking at the lifeless seas, and they seem to have no care for what the façade of beauty they are looking at really means.

    It is truly a horrible thing, and I wanted the level of depravity and complacency to which human beings stoop to be stark and ugly. The main reason this is one of my best romance thriller books to read.

    It gets better.

    Tripp Young is my main character on this ocean voyage. As the only son of wealthy parents, he is expected to go on these yearly excursions with them. They are two of the countless who have bought into the horrible exploitation of the planet’s impending death, and they seem blind to the reality of it all. To them, and all others like them, it is an amusement park ride, of sorts.

    But Tripp is neither ignorant or calloused to what is taking place. In this fiction book he looks at his existence in two categories: Before the Spill, and After the Spill, and the planets in both are very different places indeed. For a seventeen-year-old nature lover, he is very in touch with logic and sense, as well as the brokenhearted emotion he nurses for the world that was once lush with grass and other plant life; a world where you could jump in a river and swim. Tripp had to be angry, but I also knew it had to be a righteous, self-controlled anger; an anger with a purpose.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Want to know the best part?

    While on this cruise, Tripp meets Heidi Collins, and is instantly smitten with the smart, petite environmentally conscious redhead. Never having a real girlfriend before, he easily becomes consumed with spending as much time together while on this ocean voyage as they possibly can, and her feelings are the same. Together, they witness some pretty horrific things, which can all be attributed to the tainted sea that surrounds them.

    It pulls them closer and closer as the days pass. Another reason this is one of my best romance thriller books to read.

    But here’s the kicker.

    One such scene involves a child who goes missing during the cruise. The ship still refuses to stop because the show must go on. I wanted to add a level of greed and corporate fiction to the novel.
    This is only one tragedy that takes place aboard the ship. It was important to convey the state of mind of those who enjoyed what the spill had done; depraved indifference and selfishness filled their souls.

    I contemplated the accomplishment, though it may have seemed overly dramatic in manner, at times. Yet another reason why this is one of my best romance thriller books to read.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    You might be wondering.

    As for Tripp and Heidi’s love, I wanted their interactions to be intensely emotional and painful, so they could be tangible to the person with the book.

    What’s the bottom line?

    To put it simply, ‘Out to Sea’ is an environmentally conscious romantic suspense that tells a story, and it teaches a lesson. It may not feel good, but lessons rarely do. I think by the end of this book, whether the reader loves it or hates it, they will never forget it. I wrote it to be the kind of story that sticks, even if it isn’t popular for the particular content or level of fiction. With that being said, this is one of my personal favorites as a writer, and it had an impact on me that my other works haven’t.

    It may be a speculative fiction novel, but the pain and despair I put in the pages was anything but a fairy tale; I’m confident the emotion will help get the message across loud and clear. I hope you enjoy this romance thriller, and new addition to my young adult thriller books.

    Best Romance Thriller Book Out to Sea Character Profile

    Tripp Young

    Tripp is the main character, and the story is told in the first-person, so the entire narrative is from his perspective, and the words are driven by his emotion. For being only seventeen, Tripp is wise beyond his years; he is smart, and is a deep thinker by nature.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    He has a very set outlook on environmental pollution and total devastation of the planet’s waters, but he is even more appalled by the attitudes of those around him on the ship; their lack of concern and blasé attitudes about the ecosystem cause him to feel embarrassed for his species. These family cruises treat the water as if it is some kind of work of art.

    Tripp, a city boy from Chicago, is tall and slender, with hazel eyes and light brown hair, which he wears a bit long. Not really the athletic type, he prefers knowledge over sports, which has hindered him from dating many girls. He is also polite, considerate, and a bit shy with the opposite sex, which hasn’t helped either.

    Tripp comes on the cruise vacations to appease his parents, which he did each year, but the state of the sea and complacency of other passengers has made him determine he will not come again.

    Heidi Collins

    This cute, intelligent redhead caught Tripp’s eye effortlessly, and soon after, stole his heart. Heidi has the same environmental awareness mindset and emotions regarding the polluted waters as Tripp, which makes it easy for a friendship to form and attraction to grow. Her parents are on the cruise for a different reason than most: Her father is an environmentalist and the lead scientist, and he is a member of the epa team studying to find a way to fix the irreversible mess that is all around them.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Being on the side of the ‘good guys’ makes Heidi even more appealing to Tripp, and she is teaching him, more environmentalism ideologies every day, the truth about the water, exposing lies that have made the cruises into a money-making machine for the cruise lines. Her feelings for Tripp match his own for her, and together they swear to find each other after they dock, no matter what, and be together until the planet inevitably dies.

    Heidi lives in Miami Beach, which is a fair distance from Tripp’s hometown, but they promise that the distance will never change their love, or stop their future. This also makes one of the best romance thriller books to read.

    Drake Nelson

    Drake is about Tripp’s age, and hails from Michigan. He is a bigger boy, and puts out an air of ‘dumbness’, but this is for the benefit of his best friend, Mike, who does tend to have a harder time keeping up; he doesn’t want the kid to feel left behind, so to speak.

    Drake is yet another victim of sick parental preoccupation with the tainted waters, and while he hates these last minute cruises, he is not a conservationist and isn’t as passionate as Tripp or Heidi, because he hasn’t yet grasped the full impact of the reality of the climate change situation. When he is finally faced with the truth that the world is really dying, his emotions get the best of him. He is a kindhearted young man who is simply not mature enough to deal with the future they are all facing.

    Mike Harold

    Drake’s best friend is also from Michigan, and the two are as close as brothers. He is not too bright, and though he understands the pollution is bad news, he is unable to grasp the depth of how bad the environmental problems are. Therefore, he doesn’t contribute much when it comes to the others’ conversations about environmental issues or cruising in general.

    Jim & Kate Young

    Tripp’s parents attend the cruises to enjoy the colored water, and are nearly obsessed with it, but they also go to support a company who is lying to the entire world through its teeth about the water pollution. They believe their presence make the publicity and falsehoods more acceptable, and they, in fact, are wearing rose-colored glasses, choosing to believe the foolishness themselves.

    Tripp’s lectures and warnings have no influence; both Jim and Kate seem almost hypnotized, they are so detached, and for the majority of the book are like senseless sheep being willingly led to the slaughter.

    Raymond & Helen Goodwin

    This elderly couple is only on the cruise vacation because they saved up for years, and coming to the end of their lives, choose not to waste their cruise travel dream. They despise what is happening, and in their wisdom, they clearly understand what the pollution really means for the inhabitants of Earth.

    The Goodwins are only in two shorts scenes, both of them consisting of conversations with Tripp and Heidi. What they offer to our lovebirds is priceless, and it is nothing less than the painful, ugly truth. They make a deep impact on the kids, influencing their perspective, forcing them to be honest with themselves, and then encouraging them to live and love as much as they can.

    Out to Sea by R.W.K. Clark takes place a few years in the future, and is set on a cruise ship which is traveling on ocean waters which have been poisoned entirely by a massive chemical spill.

    The result turned the water into some kind of breathtaking killer sideshow, which the cruise line willingly provides. Slowly, the entire planet is dying, but there are those who are wealthy and calloused, only taking these regular cruises to gaze at the beautiful, but deadly, liquid that is keeping them afloat.

    There is even a famous fireworks event on board which is used for the sole purpose of exploiting the hopeless situation even more, termed the Festival of Hues. The main reason this is one of the best science fiction books.

    Here’s the deal.

    Four friends soon find out what it really means to live in a world on the verge of extinction. This is a environmental awareness novel with a bit of a romantic suspense blended in to make it interesting. The main characters include Tripp Young, a seventeen-year-old boy whose parents are included amongst those who use the sea for personal amusement, and he despises it.

    His parents are Jim and Kate Young, who also happen to work for the company responsible for the spill; the same company who markets the waters for their appearance and covers up the truth about the danger. Another reason why ‘Out to Sea‘ is one of the best science fiction books.

    It gets better.

    Heidi Collins is Tripp’s first-time love interest. The cute redhead feels the same loathing for the cruise ship and its indifferent, superficial passengers, but her parents hate it as well. This is a family with strong environmentalism ideologies. Heidi’s father is an environmentalist and the lead scientist who is on the main team working tirelessly to find a solution; the cruise is work for him.

    His position has been a benefit to Heidi knowing more of the truth than most teenagers want to. This makes it one the best science fiction books.

    You might be wondering.

    Drake Nelson and Mike Harold are a couple of boys Tripp meets on the cruise, and a fast friendship forms; it is maintained even after Heidi joins the group. The boys are best friends from Michigan, and are as close as brothers. Drake’s parents also come to ‘gawk’ at the water, and they drag him along, but they allowed him to bring his friend so he wouldn’t be lethargic during the trip. Drake is smarter than he puts on, but he is also emotional. Mike is a quiet kid, who basically watches from the sidelines.

    But here’s the kicker.

    During the cruise, Tripp and Heidi also meet a retired couple named Raymond and Helen Goodwin. These wise old souls maintain brutal honesty about what is to come while teaching Tripp and Heidi how important it is to enjoy every second while you can. The short-lived relationship formed between these four takes place over only two conversations, but is eternally impactful on Tripp. This is another reason why I like this one of the best science fiction books.

    What’s the bottom line?

    Basically, this book demonstrates the extreme to which indifference and complacency can go to, and it painfully accentuates the ripple effect of gross negligence and greed. It clearly shows how lives are irreparably damaged, and even stolen, through the indirect actions of others, as well as the depth of evil that can live in the human heart.

    Put this book to your best science fiction books list.

  • Lucifer’s Angel Writer’s Commentary

    Lucifer’s Angel Book
    Lucifers Angel 0692733280

    ‘Lucifer’s Angel’ is a book which tells the tale of a young girl raised in a very religious home, who experiences a year of terrible loss. The result of these painful occurrences is loss of the faith she has had her entire life, and in an effort to find a ‘god’ she can trust, the young teen turns to witchcraft. Unfortunately, she has no idea what she is getting herself into, and the consequences of her choice to revert are devastating.

    Lucifer’s Angel: A Battle of Light and Shadow!

    Sarah Hathaway is your average teenager. She has lived in the fictional town of Paradise, her entire life, the only child of her parents, and their pride and joy. She has a very normal, happy life: Sarah has her best friend, Michelle, and her beloved border collie, Mitzi. She also has an uncommonly close relationship with her grandmother, church pianist Emma Holt. Everything in her life is perfect, and she is completely unprepared for the series of tragedies that take place.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    For me, the best thing about writing ‘Lucifer’s Angel’ was the freedom I had to add as many twists and surprises as I saw fit. This is an unpredictable book, and I like it that way. Even to the very last pages, when you finally think you have what is happening to Sarah figured out, I switch it up. But what I have to say is that the nature of this book is the perfect breeding ground for such surprise, and without it, this would not have come anywhere near making the point I intended it to make.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    So, then, what is the point? Well, I could say there are a few, in fact. First, it is safe to say that we should never dabble in something we know nothing about. Hidden dangers lurk around every last corner in this world, and matters of spirituality are no exception. Whether you are a religious person or not, this is a fact, and Sarah learns this in a terrifying and painful way. Unfortunately for her, this lesson comes late.

    Secondly, pain is a part of life. All of us go through doubt about our own beliefs and abilities. Sarah’s doubt happens to run so deep, and her heart is so broken, that she makes the choice to turn to witchcraft almost strictly out of a sense of revenge toward God. ‘If you won’t give me my way, I’ll find someone who will,’ is essentially her thought process. Of course she is hurting, but we all do, and no one is exempt. When we turn our back on our own knowledge and beliefs because we are pouting over the facts of life, we sort of get what we deserve in the end. No amount of revenge or fit throwing will change the fact that bad things happen every single day.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    I also try to convey the fact that it is terribly dangerous to give others too much trust. There are those in life that hold positions that should be trustworthy… pastors, parents, teachers, and the like. But we all know too well that everyone is human, and human beings are selfish by nature, not to mention capable of horrible things, no matter what their title or position is. This is especially true if there is something valuable to gain.
    Yes, once again I have added surprises. Yes, I have twisted things in all the right places. But as I said above, this type of thing would be the nature of the black arts anyway; don’t be surprised. The only thing I will admit to here is that I wish things could have gone differently for Sarah in her life; she is a likeable young lady who has promise. Unfortunately, her anger and decisions are her own worst enemy, and ultimately and sadly, this plays out in her life for you to read.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    I hope you enjoy reading ‘Lucifer’s Angel’, both for the joy of reading and for the points I have tried to make. It is a creative effort that consists of grief, horror, a bit of romance, and desperation. I have written about witchcraft before, but this story should drive things home and make them a bit more real.

    Sarah Hathaway
    In Lucifers Angel character Sarah is a high school girl from the town of Paradise, which is predominantly Christian. Having been raised in the faith, she is confident of God’s love for her. But when she goes through several traumatic losses, Sarah begins to experience a high level of doubt, and she turns to witchcraft to gain control over her own life.

    She is a good girl, has never had boyfriends, and until her issues, was an active participant in the church with several ‘Christians’ who she admires and looks up to. She is very naïve, having no knowledge of the things she is getting involved with, or the depth of how evil it really can be. Sarah is of average height and weight, with long brown hair and eyes; she is a good student, responsible, and helps her family out in every way she can.

    Sarah also ends up meeting Ryan Morris, the new kid in town, and their friendship and witchcraft secrets soon develop into a bit more; he is technically her first boyfriend, but unfortunately, he is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Ultimately, her heart is in the right place, but she lets her circumstances lead her into deep trouble.

    Lucifers Angel Character’s: Where Redemption and Darkness Collide!

    Lucifers Angel Character: Ryan Morris
    This good-looking young man is new to Paradise, but he has an attraction to the aloof Sarah from the start. He is kind and soft-spoken, with a nature that wants to help those in need or trouble. Ryan also has courage; when he cannot get through to Sarah and get close to her, he is not afraid to go to crazy lengths to get into her life. He, too, is an only child, which makes the situation even more horrible for his parents, who have no idea of the dark things that are actually going on in Paradise.

    Lucifers Angel Character: Emma Holt
    Sarah’s maternal grandmother is a beautiful widow who is active in the church, playing piano for the congregation during services and participating in other activities. Sarah is the apple of her eye, and the two are as close as if the girl were her own daughter. Emma is funny and light-hearted, and she has a very strong faith, which she has handed down to her granddaughter over the years.

    Kent is the strength Sarah’s home. He struggles to make ends meet, working so much that he hardly sees his daughter, but this prompts her to take a job. He loves her very much and is doing the very best he can to look out for her, but he has absolutely no idea what she has gotten herself into. His need to keep things going has blinded him to the changes which have taken place in Sarah; his frequent absence has also given Sarah free reign to delve into the dark arts deeper and deeper.

  • Lucifer’s Angel Book Report

    Lucifer’s Angel Book
    Lucifers Angel 0692733280

    Lucifer’s Angel by R.W.K. Clark is a mystery suspense novel which relates the story of Sarah Hathaway, a teen from the town of Paradise, who, through a series of tragic events, comes to experience a serious crisis of faith. The only child of religious parents, Sarah has been brought up into the church, and until now has had a firm hold on her beliefs. Unfortunately, her adolescent mind struggles to come to grips with the losses which, to her, seem like grave injustices brought on directly from an uncaring God.

    The plot focuses on what Sarah does to deal with her negative emotions and anger toward the God she is angry at. As a way to get back at Him and take back control of her own life, she begins to put her trust in witchcraft by reading books and dabbling in the arts a bit. The problem is, Sarah has no idea what she is doing, or what kind of forces are actually involved with this, and her lack of knowledge gets her into more trouble than she ever could have hoped for. Unbeknownst to her, there are others who practice the craft who are influencing, and somewhat controlling, every bad thing that is happened, and they have done this with a very diabolical purpose.

    Lucifer’s Angel: A Tale of Fallen Grace and Fiery Desire!

    Paradise is an idyllic small town which is teeming with Christians; their entire lives revolve around the church, although few of the families there are exceptions. Everyone in Sarah’s life is from the church, from her family and the family of her best friend, to the pastor and his wife, her grandmother, and even the mailman. Other main characters in the book include her parents, Amelia and Kent, her grandmother, Emma Holt, Pastor Paul Bailey and his wife Miriam, her best friend, Michelle Karas, and her new love interest, Ryan Morris, the new kid in town. Basically, after losing several of those she cares about the most and turning from the faith, Sarah slowly begins to realize that something horrible is at work, and she races against time with the help of church secretary, Laura McCain, to stop the terrible things that have been put into play.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Some of the best parts of this book actually revolve around witchcraft, though not in a positive way. For instance, after Sarah is bullied, she casts a spell of revenge on her attacker; this is a bit satisfying for the reader. Some of the other spells and scenes are very intense as well, and this makes for very good, satisfying reading. Clark is good at putting in a bit of confusion here and there to keep you turning pages, and he does this well in this book, which is actually one of my favorite things about it; the element of shock and surprise is wonderful.

    Lucifer’s Angel: Unveiling the Secrets of Heaven and Hell!

    The worst part would be the very end, which I will obviously not break down here. What can be said is that this ending was necessary for RWK Clark to drive the point of the book home. Readers may be disappointed, but I think that when considering the book as a whole, the end also makes the book as good as it really is. It isn’t that the ending is ‘bad’, per se, but it is tragic in an all-around sense, but this is what happens when you play with fire.

    I would say that the main lesson of the book is basically not to toy around with things you are ignorant of. Sarah does this for comfort and strength, but her lack of understanding about what she is doing is her undoing. There is also a very painful lesson about others not always being who they appear to be; the things that people will do to other people for personal gain is atrocious, and most of the time this happens at the hands of those we have loved and trusted our entire lives. It is sad and painful, but true, nonetheless, and Sarah suffers terribly for not having a firm grasp on this aspect of reality.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Lucifer’s Angel: The Ultimate Supernatural Showdown!

    Another good point that I got out of the pages was that everyone suffers pain and hardship. While all of us must grieve and go through injustice, no one can presume they are so important that they should be the exception to the normal course and circumstances of life. All we can do is steady ourselves and press through. Sarah essentially has an emotional temper tantrum regarding her losses, and turning to witchcraft is how that manifests. Her desire to ‘play God’ in her own life ultimately made the bed of nails that she is forced to lie in, regardless of any change of heart she experiences along the way.

    It is hard to choose a ‘favorite’ character from this book. If I had to, I would say it was Sarah, because I understand her pain. But her attitude and reactions to that pain make it difficult to come to terms with the understanding I have for her. Otherwise, this is a story which is full of ‘not knowing who can be trusted’ type scenarios. It is best not to try to pick a favorite.

    Lucifer’s Angel: Where Shadows Dance and Destiny Beckons!

    RWK Clark has written about witches before in his DeSai Trilogy. This story, however, it is extremely different. There are no vampires running around, and there is no intense apocalypse taking place. This book is much more down to Earth, even bordering on realistic. In this sense, ‘Lucifer’s Angel’ is a superior tale, but only in that way. It stands on its own two feet, demonstrating somber lessons and pain without veering into the unbelievable.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    I would recommend this to any fiction lover. Sarah is a highly relatable character who does, really, what anyone is capable of considering and acting on in her position, and that’s what makes this book so good. For anyone who enjoys a suspense story that will make you think, as well as surprise you from beginning to end, this is the ideal story for you.

    Descend into a world where angels bleed and demons yearn. “Lucifer’s Angel” offers a thrilling journey through celestial conflict and forbidden love, where the lines between good and evil are irrevocably blurred.

  • Living Legacy Writer’s Commentary

    Living Legacy Among the Dead
    Living Legacy 0692517243

    ‘Living Legacy Among the Dead’ is the first complete book I wrote. Though it is a very quick read, I believe readers will get just as much out of its pages as they would if it were a larger novel. It is not written with a heavy moral lesson, though there is one here. Mostly, it was written for the sake of the love story which I have woven into the apocalyptic situation.

    Alicia Gaden is a biology major at UCLA; she has her goals lined up and her future planned. She is also a very good student and person; she doesn’t galivant around with different boys or party. Rather, she remains single, and keeps her primary focus on her studies.

    Living Legacy: Survival in a World Tainted by Terror!

    Jace Booth is pretty much the same type of person as Alicia, with the exception being that he majors in chemistry. The pair meet up when everyone starts changing; people become violent, and their skin begins to pale and rot. For some reason, the two of them seem to survive the strange phenomenon taking place, but together they pursue knowledge regarding why this is happening. As it turns out, there are no two better for the job.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    The book is told from Alicia’s perspective, which is not typical for me. I wanted to convey the zombie outbreak from the female point of view, it really is that simple. It is not something I normally do, but it seems to have worked in this situation, as many readers have commented on it as being a good thing.
    Alicia, in the initial pages, is pretty much on her own. Sure, she has a roommate, Lilith, but the girl really doesn’t have much of a purpose, except for the sake of the reality of college life. No, Alicia is witnessing the changes in others entirely on her own. She wants to figure out what is happening and why it doesn’t seem to be happening to her. She meets Jace during a trip to the UCLA student library, which turns out to be a relief because he seems unaffected as well.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Living Legacy: When Water Turns Against Humanity!

    Unbeknownst to the two of them. All-Purpose Plastics has been developing the ‘plastic of the future’, Soligel. Unfortunately, they push it through for federal approval. It is only through their own tests and dangerous missions that Alicia and Jace are able to figure out the problem. Once that is pinpointed, they must come up with a way to solve the outbreak before it is too late.

    I wanted the main characters to be highly intelligent, but I also wanted them to be as courageous as possible. Let’s face it: and I am sad to say, most college students today would panic and buckle if they found themselves in this situation. If these two are going to survive, and if any love is going to grow between them, it was essential for them to be strong and determined, and to have a mutually beneficial skill set if they wanted to get the job done. These are the main characteristics that were the foundation for Jace Booth and Alicia Gaden.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Now, it is true that I didn’t really deal with the executives of All-Purpose Plastics in a manner that would be satisfying. The fact is, to me, they would be succumbing to the outbreak in their own time and manner. That would be their just deserts. In order for the book to have the combined flavors that I gave it, there was no room for justice, at least, not the kind of justice these people rightfully deserved. Greed and malice are sicknesses of the soul; it was best to let karma deal with them and focus on Alicia and Jace.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    I wanted the relationship between the two of them to be held together by more than sex; my intent with these two was a lifelong commitment, even if there was the possibility that life could end at any second.
    I also wanted them to be able to conduct their research in a setting that provided them with some level of peace and comfort. This is where the house comes in. Finding this location was essential to their success; I mean, let’s be real: If a couple of college kids are going to save the day having a comfortable base of operations is essential.

    Without giving away the ending, I would just like to say that Alicia and Jace are very crafty, and they have more than enough reasons to accomplish their goal to defeat the zombies and fix the issue successfully. But as we all know, a good story never ends without some kind of lure or suggestion about the real state of things. Perhaps Alicia and Jace firmly believe that they have fixed the problem in the water, but did they really? Only time will tell. I sincerely hope that readers enjoy ‘Living Legacy: Among the Dead’, and appreciate it for the fun piece of fiction it was meant to be.

    Alicia Gaden
    There is really no clear physical description given of the main character and narrator, Alicia Gaden. She is beautiful and has long hair, pretty features, and a slender build. Alicia’s strong points include her intelligence and scientific mind. She has a natural curiosity, and her impeccable research skills complement that perfectly.

    Living Legacy: A Dystopian Battle for Humanity’s Future!

    Alicia is driven, and she puts the majority of her focus on her studies as a biology major at UCLA. She also does not have a steady boyfriend, but she is narrating the book, and the reader can easily pick up on the fact that she is independent and goal-oriented, which seems to explain everything.

    Jace is very attractive, with black hair and blue eyes. He is a student at the university as well, only he is majoring in chemistry.

    In his late fifties, Jim Richardson has already put in thirty years in the maintenance department at All-Purpose Plastics. Even though he is a tired man, he loves his job. Jim has gained the trust of all the big-wigs of the company because of his loyalty and discretion, and he wouldn’t compromise that for anything. A married man, he also fearfully takes note of the shortness of his temper when it comes to his wife; he has always been soft-spoken, never prone to violent outbursts. The man is so low-key and loyal that he won’t even go to the doctor without speaking to those in charge at work first, and this decision proves to be his demise.

    Jim Richardson is the type of character, no matter how short-lived, who believes that he can trust everyone as much as he can be trusted; this shows in the fact that he has maintained such a rigid stance in his company’s favor for as long as he has. They have literally put him at risk every day of his life, and when it finally catches up, they throw him under the bus quickly and easily.

    Mike Sandberg
    Dr. Sandberg is the head scientist on the Soligel project for All-Purpose Plastics; he is also the first person Jim Richardson goes to. Mike Sandberg is a scientist, but he is also a compassionate man; he realizes the direness of Jim’s situation right away, but he doesn’t know what to do about it. As per policy, the man ends up dialing the president of the company, who literally takes matters with Jim Richardson into his own hands. Like Jim, it is loyalty on Mike’s part that motivates him to contact the guy at the top first.

    Harvey Mikelson
    Harvey is the president and CEO of All-Purpose Plastics, and like all businessmen, his main priority is the bottom line. Harvey is fully aware of the dangers that Soligel poses, but he is more interested in pushing it through government approval and getting rich. His heart is blackened by greed. He is superficial and heartless, just the sort of man you would expect to be running a company and heading a terrible cover-up.

    Lilith
    Lilith is Alicia Gaden’s dormmate at UCLA. The two are friends, getting along as girlfriends should. They look out for each other, gab to each other, and generally help each other out when needed. While playing a very short role in this book, Lilith is the catalyst for the studies and research to be conducted by Alicia and Jace.

    Belinda Smythe
    Belinda Smythe is not a speaking character at all in these pages; rather, she is just a nobody who happened to own a house out in the middle of nowhere. Belinda’s home and car become lifesaving find for Jace and Alicia, who are in desperate need of safe shelter by the time they stumble upon it. Belinda Smythe gets an honorary character mention.

    Living Legacy Among the Dead
    Living Legacy 0692517243

    “Living Legacy” throws readers into a chillingly realistic dystopian future where the very essence of life, water, has become a terrifying instrument of transformation.

    What would you do if you one day woke up and everyone was turning into a zombie except for you? This is the question posed to UCLA students Alicia Gaden and Jace Booth in the pages of Living Legacy Among the Dead by R.W.K. Clark. Fortunately, this pair is sufficiently equipped to tackle the job.

    The main idea of this particular selection is simple: Two educated young people must wing it to not only survive a zombie apocalypse, but to figure out how to stop it as well. Fortunately, their educations help abundantly in this department, not to mention the fact that fate seems to have lined circumstance up for them so their job will be a bit easier. As a work of fiction, this is a mild horror story that is easy on the gore, with a bit of a love story blended in to make it interesting.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    The zombie outbreak takes place as the result of failure on the part of a plastics company in Los Angeles. Toxins are inadvertently released and before anyone knows what’s happening, people are becoming zombies. The two main characters’ responsibility for survival and rectification pretty much falls firmly on their shoulders.

    Living Legacy: Hope Blooms in a World of Decay!

    The appearance of success is clear throughout the book. With that being said, Clark has a way of keeping things going right at the very end, and this particular tale is no exception. The eternal question he likes to ask is, ‘Is it really over?’


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Alicia Gaden is a biology major who lives on campus at UCLA. Her life is fairly normal: She studies and pays attention to her own plans. Alicia doesn’t have a boyfriend, even finding them to be something of a distraction. She is highly intelligent, and she picks up on the crazy changes going on around her rather quickly, noticing that it isn’t happening overnight.

    Jace Booth is majoring in chemistry at the same school. Like Alicia, he is single, but he is very intelligent and good-looking; he could have any girl he wants, but he opts not to. Jace meets Alicia in the library, and after confirming that both of them are still normal, they begin to discuss the crisis going on all around them. Something must be done, or they are going to find themselves getting eaten and joining the masses.

    It is a desperate situation for anyone to find themselves in, much less a couple of college kids. But they are a mature pair who knows how to rely on their strengths. RWK Clark plays this up in the simple, yet plausible and effective, explanation for the outbreak, as well as in the simplicity of the solution. Readers will easily be able to keep up with the story without having to trudge through the boring details of unnecessary technicalities.

    The entire story takes place in Los Angeles, either at UCLA or nearby; near the middle of the book, the pair comes upon a deserted house, and it is here they take refuge so they can continue their research. The house takes some of the anxiety off the reader; Alicia and Jace aren’t barricaded in a lab somewhere trying to figure things out while zombies beat down the door. The more relaxed atmosphere of the situation allows the reader to slow down and get a firm grasp on the story. The close proximities of all scene locations also contributes to the ease of reading this selection; you don’t have too much to mentally juggle location-wise.


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Then, of course, there is the romantic aspects of this particular title. It would be impossible for two young people Alicia’s and Jace’s ages to work together under such strain without mutual attraction taking place. RWK Clark knows this, and takes advantage of the situation. Yes, the couple fall in love, and there are sex scenes in the book. The scenes which are featured are toned down and tasteful, without graphic descriptions and tasteless vulgarity. Actually, this romance makes the book, in its own way. It gives the reader a break from the seriousness of their situation at just the right times, and the scenes don’t overwhelm due to abundance.

    Finally, anyone who is familiar with the works of RWK Clark knows how he loves to add a little twist at the end of his books, leaving them open for anything. ‘Living Legacy’ is also an example of that. Since this is actually the first book Clark put out, this flair should be looked upon as groundbreaking for him, but for those who have read other books by this author first, this is commonplace for RWK Clark.

    Bringing us to the end, we know where the lives of Jace and Alicia stand by the final pages. What do those pages hint around about regarding the success of Jace and Alicia’s work and research?


    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    Ultimately, ‘Living Legacy: Among the Dead’ is another zombie story, but it has its own unique markings here and there, signifying to whom it belongs. It is very easy to keep up with, and it won’t take forever to get through. Because of the simplicity of his writing, the story is enjoyable, and even funny at times. If approached with the right mindset, this first book by RWK Clark should easily open doors for readers to delve further into what he has to offer. It is a creative story with an ending that isn’t all too horrible to stomach.

    When the very source of life becomes a weapon, who will survive? “Living Legacy” throws you into a world where contaminated water transforms people into monstrous beings. Witness the desperate struggle for survival and the fight to reclaim a future stolen by a poisoned legacy.

    Dead on the Water Writer’s Commentary

    One Of My Best Selling Fiction Books A Zombie Survival Novel

    Get a copy of Dead On The Water now.

    Dead On The Water has been optioned for a feature film adaptation, Dead In The Water.

    This is another zombie story contribution which I put a bit of a spin on. ‘Dead on the Water’ chronicles the story of a Fantasy Lines cruise ship which has a passenger who got bit by a dog during a shopping spree with their parents in Belize. Not knowing that the dog is carrying a terrible, contagious zombie-making virus, the bite-victim re-boards the ship, and it returns to the vast ocean.
    The first thing I would like to say about this particular zombie survival book, I allowed them to be able to think, speak, and function, but they are the undead, nevertheless. The leader of the living dead pack, Captain James McElroy, even continues to be the leader in death that he was in life, and his pandemic plan is to take over the entire ship.

    Best Selling Fiction Books: Stories That Captivate the World!

    I consider this to be one of my best selling fiction books. ‘Dead on the Water’ is my second zombie thriller release. Also, it is the second book I have written that I would classify as sci-fi horror. My first novel in my list of zombie books is ‘Living Legacy’. My third novel would be ‘Permanent Ink’. Be sure to try my zombie book series ‘Zombie Diaries’.

    But here’s the kicker.

    This is a fast-paced thriller fiction book; once the action starts, it is pretty much non-stop. Being on a cruise ship, those who are still normal have very limited resources or means of escape. While it is about zombies, and there are several very graphic scenes, I do not believe it is necessarily scary as far as scary horror stories go. I tried to use dialogue in a surreal manner, especially coming from the living dead monsters, in an effort to show the craziness and terrifying truth about the situation, but I didn’t want it to be too heavy. My vision was simply to relate the hopelessness of the plague situation without making the zombie fiction burdensome to read; I wanted it to be on the ‘lighter’ side, if possible.

    Now, I presented a couple of different situations in this best selling fiction book

    The primary one takes place on the ship; the second is happening at a shady lab in Belize. This lab is sort of an underground operation run by a somewhat ‘mad scientist’ and his assistant, Bruce Ward; the good doctor relocated after the States stopped his experimentation. The long and short of it is that this lab has gone haywire. The CDC tries to gain control of this infectious situation, which is sort of a side-line story to give you, the reader, a bit of hope that this craziness will be contained. I should warn you, especially my new readers.

    Best Selling Fiction Books: Your Journey to Literary Escape Starts Here!

    I find it difficult to imagine happy endings when it comes to the genres I write in, and I find it much easier to be horribly realistic. But let’s face it, I write about completely unrealistic stuff. What I’m trying to say is, the glory of fiction is in its falseness, but the impact of fiction is found in its painful reality. If a zombie apocalypse illness really happened, would the ending really be a good one? Another reason why this is one of my best selling fiction books.

    Don’t get your hopes up.

    Speaking of hope, let’s talk about the CDC battling things on land. If the zombies reach land, there will be a pandemic zombie outbreak, and nothing the CDC is doing in Belize will matter. Someone on that damn boat has to be smart enough to get away and get help. Pretty daunting task, don’t you think? To reach the docking point before the ship, baking in the sun with no water, and having been through a terribly traumatic and unbelievable experience? Well, all I have to say is, you’ll just have to see.

    What’s the bottom line?

    On another topic, I didn’t get too deep with any of the characters as far as their personal appearance or personalities. There are many characters in ‘Dead on the Water’; only a few hold the limelight, ultimately, it is ‘every man for himself’. So, as far as my second zombie story goes, I hope you enjoy it. It’s a little lighter than you might expect, but it is fast-paced, and you’ll find plenty of gruesome scenes. ‘Dead on the Water’ is an easy and entertaining read. I hope you’ll check out this best selling zombie fiction book, and have fun reading it, too!

    Dead on the Water Character Profile

    Ariana Harrington

    Ariana is the daughter of Jason and Claire Harrington, and sister to Adam; all four of them are passengers on the Fantasy Line cruise ship on which the zombie outbreak in this novel begins. Ariana is a pretty strawberry blonde girl with smarts and ambition: She wants to be a veterinarian someday due to her deep affection for animals. She is also a good girl, not defiant or demanding, and in this way she differs from her mother and brother; her father is too busy trying to keep up with demands to be an issue.

    Captain James McElroy

    This man is the big cheese on the ship, and in the beginning he is suited well for his position. He is a leader with integrity, even having his wife with him on board at all times; as far as his underlings, they all trust and look up to him. Unfortunately, the captain becomes infected with the zombie virus. However, he ends up maintaining much of his mind, though it has changed into something evil with the disease. McElroy winds up devising a pandemic plan that includes not only taking over the ship by turning every last passenger, but making it to land to dock and spreading the illness there as well; a true zombie apocalypse.

    Adam Harrington

    Ariana’s brother is something of an entitled brat. He is the coveter of electronics and all things spendy, and he feels that everyone is there to tend to him. He is the type of kid that, if asked to do even the smallest task or favor for another, puts on a big dramatic show, with plenty of whining and complaining. As you will soon read, he is his mother’s child.

    Claire is a privileged woman who was fortunate enough to marry a successful man, but she is nothing more than a taker. She loves all the finer things in life, but most of all, she loves spending money senselessly. Her children are of little concern to her, unless it’s for her own benefit, and if they are not in her hair, she is happy. She is another whiner who believes that everyone owes her something. Another reason it is one of the best selling fiction books.

    Best Selling Fiction Books: Uncover the Magic of Storytelling!

    Jason Harrington

    The patriarch of the Harrington clan works constantly to provide for his family. But he is exhausted by his ungrateful spouse and son. He only participates in things like the cruise to stop his wife’s incessant nagging, otherwise he could live without all the extravagance that she insists upon. He wouldn’t be too broken up if she wanted a divorce, except that she would play the martyr and take every penny, so he abides. Ariana is his favorite because she is most like him, but he doesn’t realize how tarnished and jaded he has become by life.

    Dr. Jonathan Anson ‘mad scientist’

    Dr. Anson is the head of the lab project which has caused the viral outbreak. His lab is sort of an underground operation. The good doctor Anson and his assistant, Bruce Ward relocated after the States stopped his experimentation. The long and short of it is that this lab has gone haywire, and its infected rats are beginning to run rampant.

    –↓–“A word from our sponsor”–↓– –↑–“Ads made this possible”–↑–

    David Umbridge

    David is head of the CDC crew being sent from the US to Belize to battle the viral outbreak. He is a gutsy, level-headed man that is easy to picture as something of a Rambo. Definitely a take-charge and action kind of guy; Umbridge will not hesitate to take extreme measures if he deems them fit.

    Best Selling Fiction Books: Experience the Stories Everyone’s Talking About!

    Kim Johnson, Keith Mitchell

    This pair complete the CDC crew under Umbridge. Keith has some pathogen and parasite experience, but Kim is brand new, and she was there as sort of a ‘breaking in’ measure.
