Ian Patterson is many things. Importantly here, he’s the author of The Narrator Cycle. He’s also an engineer, cyclist, foodie, coffee lover, cat dad, human father, and reader of books. Preferably, thick books that deal with strange things and big ideas. He’s dreamed of being an author for decades, but finally began the journey with the birth of his first daughter. This is an objectively terrible time to start work that requires quiet concentration, and he knows it, but he loves the chaos nonetheless. He lives in Colorado with his wonderful family.

Chapter 18 - The Dichotomy of Modern Existence

I drift through the night in total darkness. Cut-off now from my skewed view of home, my tenuous grasp on that reality, my lifeline to communication. I’m unmoored. I wake with a racing heart, panic flaring through me, again and again. It’s not me. They’re not coming for me. The hours drip by until some automated system sta

What a fun cli-fi story! Well executed, fast paced, and an overall hopeful vision for the future. I liked the interplay between religious cults, eco-terrorists, and those working to create a better future. The banter was well done, and had me snicker ...more

"Gideon said, “Did you know that if you put the first three letters of your last name with the first three letters of your first name, you get ‘Sex Pal’?”"

Sometimes, I read books that make me love them for no other reason than that they make me laugh

4.5 rounded up

Reading this collection reminded me of all the best parts of The Mummy, but without the campyness (don't get me wrong, I do love a good campy movie but the effect is less fun in books). I thought all the stories were good, but Emerald E

" Thanks for the informed and very thorough review! "
Transcendence by Ian  Patterson
"A glistening page-turner that doesn’t quite hit as hard as it could.

Transcendence is Book 2 in the Narrator Cycle by Ian Patterson. I read the first book, Transference a year or so ago and found it quite enjoyable. Patterson strikes me as a hard-work" Read more of this review »
Transference by Ian  Patterson
"I always enjoy a story that highlights class disparity in an interesting way, but a lot of dystopian novels stop there. They show the gap but not how such a thing arose or why it persists within the novel's world. There’s a group with power and a gro" Read more of this review »
