WHAT’S A “RELATIONSHIP” NOVEL?
If you’re wondering where that seemingly “out-of-the-blue” question came from, wonder no further. My newly released THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor, while in one sense is a Sci-fu (science-based futuring) novel if nothing else by definition, it’s equally a romantic, occasionally highly erotic work that is an exploration of “relationships” today and in a plausible future world. After all, what’s more human than relationships?
Starting as (intentional) playmates, growing together into an adolescent “mob” then an independent, young adult “group,” struggling together to find their places in a challenging and dangerous world of constant techno-social change, the three protagonists search and explore everything from BBF/BGF to romance to snogging and shagging while searching for each’s mate and “soulmate,” confronting and resolving life issues like work, self-esteem, self-actualization, consciousness and empathy — the work of every new generation. And work it, these three do.
Taking up where TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese left off, NewAmerica, a shadow of its former United States of America, provides a challenging and dangerous future place for three young firebrands to live.
