#Review of Brainrush #BoxSet by #Author @Richard_Bard

Cover Art for Brainrush Box Set written by Richard Bard Many years ago, I was part of Independent Authors and Writers (IAW), the website no longer exists but many of the authors have gone on to do well. Richard Bard is one of those authors. I remember that I was intrigued by the premise of his first book. When I finally read it, I was captivated. Over time I read the rest of the series. As a fan, I was recently given an opportunity to read this box set. I must say reading them all together was so much better. 

To me, each book in the series is a mixture of Science Fiction, Military, Paranormal (not the ghost kind), and Thriller genres. There is also a hint of Romance. 

A Brief Overview:

Brainrush - Jake, a former USAF pilot, goes in for a MRI and comes out a changed man. Unfortunately those changes come to the attention of a "wolf in sheep's clothing".

Enemy of My Enemy - When terror hits home, Jake gets help in some unexpected ways.  

Beyond Judgment - Not the man he once was, Jake is faced with the results of some things he put into motion, six years prior.

My thoughts: Jake is in an MRI at a VA hospital in the opening chapter of Brainrush. That scene triggered my own memories and feelings of a similar situation. 

Jake has friends who are willing to go to the ends of the earth for him and he is willing to put his life on the line for them. He and his friends share a wicked sense of humor that possibly not everyone will understand. I'll just call it a warrior's way.  Even though I know in my head the main characters are not living beings, I could not help feeling in my heart that they were real to some degree. I admire and, in a way, envy their bond.

I can see these stories being on the big screen one day. I suspect they would each be their own movie.

More information:

For those that are unaware, originally there were only going to be three books in the Brainrush series - the two other books written by Mr. Bard were separate. Then a decision was made, to add these books into the fold and the titles were renamed. The book once called Everlast, is now entitled Brainchild, book four in the Brainrush series. The one previously called Ephemeral is now Smoke & Mirrors, Brainrush book five. If you'd like to know more about Mr. Bard, his current books, and upcoming events, I invite you to visit his website.

Thank you for taking the time to read my review of the Brainrush Box Set and to learn a little more about Richard Bard.

In my days with IAW I often signed off with "Bestsellers", like an actor would say "break a leg" meaning good luck, but Richard Bard took it to heart and he now has multiple bestsellers. In honor of him and his accomplishments, I will dispense with my more traditional farewell.

"Bestsellers" to all and may your dreams come true,
