Faust 2.0

[Michael]

That was quick!

[Lit Bug (Foram)]

You wrote so well - couldn't put it down!

[Michael]

Music to an author's ears :-)

[Lit Bug (Foram)]

When is the next installment out?

[Michael]

Next spring or summer, I need to finish The Third Path trilogy and I have another sci-fi called Sun Dragon to finish first.

And a follow on to 'An Odd Quartet' due out in a few weeks.

Grabbed Faust 2.0. I think I have all your published work now. Thanks, man.

[Michael]

Excellent - thanks!

Michael wrote: "Excellent - thanks!"

Thank you, Michael. If I didn't have several reads and my own writing projects going on I would jump in right now, but you are definitely high up on my list. I'm thinking I would like to start with The Cult Of Me.

[Michael]

No worries, I'll be interested to hear your thoughts.

If you haven't grabbed your free copy of Faust 2.0 then you still have time to do - download it now while you can, this is the only time it will be available for free!

"Let me repeat the word 'disturbing' here. The story is not for the faint hearted. Computers don't make everything clean and tidy. This is a story of the Horror genre and the reader should be prepared to encounter some horrific events. If that's your chosen reading, you're going to love this"

Today is the last day that you can download Faust 2.0 for Free, so grab yourself a copy now while you can!

Here is what one 5 star review on Goodreads said about Faust 2.0:

"It has become one of my favorite cyber-mystery novels. A far cry from the stock-thrillers which unabashedly trail behind clichéd plots and characters and situations, Brookes has penned a very different kind of work that is reminiscent of Philip K. Dick’s themes with astounding clarity of thought and a lucid, impeccable, swift and precise narration. This work is worth more than it costs."

A couple of great new reviews for Faust 2.0:

The first is a 5* review for Faust 2.0 on Goodreads!

"A fast paced nail biter that kept me up late into the night. I would love to read more in this series. "

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

And a new 5* review from Amazon:

"Michael's ability to create a world where Misty thrives was flawless; that world seemed wholly believable to me. And then he populated it with characters both strong and flawed, some of them exquisitely creepy. For me, this premise had echoes of King's `Needful Things', where greed and want are hard masters, and they always come with a salutary lesson to learn."

A very pleasant start to the morning!

I've received a great new review on Goodreads:

"The bottom line is that this is a book for anyone who likes cyber set, science fiction or mystery novels. The characters are unique and have a real quality about them, even those that don't live long. Brookes' isn't afraid to take character's on a downward journey to hell from which there is no saving. For that reason the title reference to Faust is well earned. This novel is a must read for those who like their character's realistic and flawed. "

I start the the day with an excellent new review for Faust 2.0 from Cate's Book Nut Hut blog:

"The character developments in this novel are phenomenal; starting with the ‘birth’ of the entity mentioned in the book synopsis above, each of the characters we are introduced too, for however briefly they remain in play, are given depth and traits that draw the reader in and make them want to keep reading. "

Faust 2.0 has received an excellent new review here on Goodreads:

"What this story comes down to is how far are you prepared to go, to get your desire? What will it take to make you promise to pay back, no matter what?

A fantastic new review for Faust 2.0 has been posted on Goodreads:

"The story of greed over riding reason and the story of despair sometimes. It is not all that dark, there is hope and fight. There was even a passage where I needed my box of tissues. What happened was so unfair, but I will not say what it is, read the book and see if you feel as I do. "
