Pushback by John E. Stith
Just finished reading "Pushback" by John E Stith published by ReAnimus Press.
Ever since I read his brilliant novel of perhaps the ultimate in alien abductions scenarios "Manhattan Transfer," I have been a steadfast fan of John E Stith. He is one of my favorite writers, and in the interest of full disclosure, although we have never met, or chatted online here on Facebook, we are friends here on Facebook.
So when I learned, much to my delight that a new novel by John E Stith was gong to be released, I immediately pre-ordered it on Amazon - alas, I still can not post reviews on Amazon because I've been banned for stating that a book had an anti-Semitic viewpoint. I'm still fighting that ban - though I may have my reviewing privileges restored in 72 hours, if what I was just told by an Amazon representative is correct.
John E Stith's previous science fiction novels always had elements of intense mystery and suspense that were always brought to satisfying conclusions and in what I believe to be his first full length mystery/suspense/intrigue novel, John E Stith establishes himself as masterful of a crime noir writer as the late great Cornell Woolrich.
"Pushback" opens with Dave Barlow, just an ordinary guy who is dealing with PTSD from the tragic death of his fiance in an automobile accident, who has somewhat recovered and is moving on with his life. With Cathy, the new love of his life, he plans on attending his 10th high school reunion, only to be greeted with the sight of bullet holes in the shape of smiley face on his car door. Then there is the fact that nobody claims to know who he is at the reunion. As Dave's life tumbles into darkness, he soon discovers that someone is trying to kill him and will stop at nothing to see that he joins his late fiance in the grave. But who and why?
"Pushback" is a humdinger of a pulse-pounding thriller, and was well worth the long wait from John E Stith. I hope his next new novel will be out soon. I know I can't wait, and I suspect all of his fans are waiting a bit impatiently for his next novel.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
