Mercúrio: O PROJETO INTERSCISSÃO: LIVRO QUATRO
A morte vem para todos nós.
Mas às vezes chega cedo, porque é enviado.
Tudo parece estar indo bem no mundo de Christopher. Recém-casado e promovido, ele até martelou o relacionamento com seu irmão Marley.
Então uma morte na família sacode os fundamentos de seu mundo. Quando chega a notícia de que foi assassinato, apenas o melhor investigador forense da Força de Defesa de Quíron ajudará os Viajantes a encontrar o culpado. E isso é Marley.
Quando a investigação começa a levar a uma delas, no entanto, a pergunta foi assassinato ou traição?

The space odyssey and adventures continue in “Mercury (The Interscission Project, Book 4)” by Arshad Ahsanuddin. This installment of The Interscission Project was a very quick read (about 90 minutes). Every time I open one of the books from either this series or Arshad’s other series Pact Arcanum, it’s like revisiting an old friend. The characters are fresh, easy to relate to, and most importantly very believable. Arshad takes us soaring through space either through a teleporter or a spacecraft, from one solar system to the next. The ride is filled with lots of action, adventure and thrills along with just enough romance to make it spicy and fun. Arshad’s writing style is easy flowing and the cadence is quick and smooth. I am always ready for one of his books when I see them available. As I said before about Arshad’s books, they really should be a part of every young or old gay persons library. Such fun...I would even go as far as to compare Arshad’s work to that of Armistead Maupin (there I said it). I look forward to the next installment in this very exciting series, “Ascension”. So yes, I highly recommend and have read all of Arshad’s books.
From the back cover: Death comes for us all. But sometimes it comes early, because it’s sent.
Everything seems to be going great in Christopher’s world. Newly married and promoted, he’s even hammered out the dents in his relationship with his brother Marley.
Then a death in the family shakes the foundations of his world. When the word comes down that it was murder, then only the best forensic investigator of the Chiron Defense Force will do to assist the Travellers in finding the culprit. And that happens to be Marley.
When the investigation begins to lead to one of their own, however, the question changes: was it murder, or treason?

November 14, 2023It doesn't happen often in a book series that you get multiple books which make you say "Wait what?" many times. This series is one of them.
I wonder how I can even keep track of the characters, but I'm invested here.
By book 4(!) now I can say what I thought about a lot. If you could prevent horrible events from happening, would you? Would you risk changing history for another future that isn't guaranteed to be better?
I feel like if Gifford wouldn't have been so persistent about his egotistical plans, there would have been less heartache for everyone involved. The past happened and that's it. Maybe you should leave some things as they were and try to make something better out of what you got instead of dwelling on the past. But that would not make for an interesting time travelling story, right?
If one (tiny) detail changes, that sets off the next drama and you need to go back again until you have the perfect life. Is it though? How far will it go and when will it end?
Time travelling is complicated. Greg Tremblay is one of the best narrators.
I'd love to get to know more about the trajectory of Marley's and Christopher's lives after being thrown into this weird new scenario. Especially Marley. This book was too short.

This is really short and it is written in such a suspenseful manner that it seemed even shorter.
It is really fast-paced and things just keep happening. This story literally had me at the edge of my seat for the longest time and the weird part is I have been reading this story for the past four books now and it never lets up.
It's weird ever since I read the previous book in the series I have been taking notes when it comes to this series (a) because it has been a long time since I read books 1 and 2 and (b) because it is all so complex but it's weird how the more complicated things get the higher the stakes go and the higher the stakes go the more glued to the edge of my seat I am. I am really just going to jump into Ascension next because I really need to know what happens next.
The shenanigans at the end of the last book have created chronal duplicates. So now, there are three Martins and Jacobs each and when you combine that with the fact that Martin and Jacob are identical twins, it makes for a very interesting visual. In this book, we follow Christopher, Marley and Matthew from I-9 and it was a lot of fun getting to tail these three. Also, the one scene these three share together, in the beginning, was hilarious. I really love the fact that even though it is in a different iteration, Charles and Marty got their happy ending.
Personally, this book felt like an appetiser and I can't wait to have my meal in Ascension because I feel like the events of this book are a direct setup for that one and I really wish we keep in touch with Chris, Marley and Matthew in that one as well.
This was an amazing thriller, with a fascinating plot and characters who were well-known but at the same time brand-new. Also, the ending is a cliffhanger which was so well done, because know I need to read Ascension.

This was a little hard to jump back into again as it's been a number of years since I read the first books in the series, but ultimately I was still sucked in. There's so many things going on it's just so much information, but you can't help but keep reading. The hardest part is really just getting all of the characters iteration straight.
I enjoyed this one and being a shorter novella it just snagged my attention to make the push to read the next book in the series.

Wow! This author's writing is so complex, so many twists and turns, but it feels organic. It flows so seamlessly. Such an amazing story.

Wow...so short. Thought I must be going mad, but yes, at least we now have some idea of who has been helping Teague, or is this yet another elaborate double-bluff 🤯🤯🤯?? Onto Ascension.

Still as compulsively readable as ever - though it is starting to get very difficult keeping track of three different versions each of Martin and Jacob as well as two versions of Charles.
The real problem though with this book, and something that I would have liked to been aware of (say, Goodreads actually listing page count) is this book is only 108 pages long - about 20 of that not even story. Before I started it, I thought this book was going to be the 300-ish pages of the rest of the series.
I feel a little taken advantage of, for forking over $4 for what amounts to a novella and have actually not started series that have this sort of pay/page that this book did. That being said, I do enjoy the series, this book is likely necessary for understanding the fifth and final book and I don't really regret buying it.
(At least the story that was there was enjoyable.)

Wonderful next story
Ahsanuddin pens a great fourth story in Mercury, which is part of The Interscission Project series. Each book is about a differing set of characters, but the stories are each uniquely their own, and yet fall perfectly into the series. With an interesting and challenging case hits close to home, Christopher is forced to widen his investigation. It's a great story, with interesting characters. The characters have depth and have grown. I enjoy reading this series, and I particularly like how Ahsanuddin tells the stories. I look forward to reading more by this author, which I will definitely do.
