The third and final instalment, "Binary Cycle: Skyward" is coming soon.
My name is Wes Davies and I write under the name WJ Davies.
I currently have three novellas set in the Silo universe available entitled The Runner, The Diver, and The Watcher. These works are inspired by Hugh Howey's bestselling WOOL series and, unbelievably, have sold over 15,000 copies since January '13.
Living in Toronto, I work for a computer software company and write in my spare time, always dreaming up the next story idea while I write my current one. I take a lot of time to edit and was lucky enough to find an amazing group of beta readers who constantly keep me on my toes.
My all original work is a novel called Binary Cycle, the first part of which is available in the kindle store. This is the story that got me into writing, and I can't wait to release the next two installments. Look for Binary Cycle: Revelations in October.
I read a lot of Sci-Fi and am amazed at the quality work other authors are putting out there right now. Some recent favourites include The Martian, Voyage, Greatfall, and Atopia Chronicles.
This is truly an exciting time to be a writer or a reader. As long as we strive to produce our best quality work, the rising tide will lift all ships. I try to release a new work every 6-8 weeks, so come join the fun. Keep in touch on twitter @wjdaviesauthor or visit my website.
It'd been a little while since I'd read the first part of WJ Davies Binary Cycle series, but Mr. Davies is quick to get the reader back into the action. The first installment was packed with action from multiple viewpoints and the reader should be prepared for that same pattern to repeat. If there was one problem I had, it was that one character had a few scenes and then disappeared for most of the book. However, after reading Davies Silo series, I know he can ditch entire characters and storylines for a long time and get back to them with no problem. I fully expect to see that character resolved in Book 3 of the Binary Cycle books. As the title suggests, this book is chock full of Revelations. Why the problems on Taran are happening and what our characters have to do with it. Davies really specializes in dialogue and doesn't let down here, even involving other cultures into this story (which makes sense if Earth were to colonize, multiple cultures would move). Well done. Looking forward to going Skyward!
Binary Cycle is some really great writing. I am thoroughly enjoying the story so far and can't wait to jump into part three. The characters are well developed, and the world building is really fantastic. This series is definitely worth reading!
The book does move a little faster and the secrets of the tower message and the orbs are close to being revealed. I like the feel of the characters and seeing how they fit together is comforting somehow.
If you've read the first book, There is more action in this one and the pace does pick up. Not excessively, just enough to add a little spice. The story still revolves around the characters from the first volume but new characters have been added.
I think that you'll like the book and be as interested in the mystery of the orbs as I am. Looking forward to volume three.
