Story
The battle between good and evil, God and Satan.A fight older than time. But is everything we know about this struggle just a matter of propaganda? Satan, Lucifer, the Devil, Shaytan sure thinks so. In this letter he tries to convince the human race, you, of his intentions. They are pure. Everything that was blamed on him was done as a smokescreen to cover more sinister motives.

Story
New York City in 1978 is a dirty, dangerous place to live - and die. Joey Peacock knows this as well as anybody - he has spent the last forty years as an adolescent vampire, perfecting the routine he now enjoys: womanizing in punk clubs and discotheques, feeding by night, and sleeping by day with others of his kind in the macabre labyrinth under the city's sidewalks.

Story
Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson ( Pulp Fiction) rocks this mock bedtime story, capturing a hilarious range of emotions as the voice of a father struggling to get his child to sleep. Go the F**k to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that.

And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

monologues
The format of this big is it's greatest downfall. I am a fan of Jack Voraces for his excellent character voices, none of which we got to hear in this story as it it three books of monologues. The climax gets multicharacter dialogue which cam as a pleasant surprise after a bit of a slog. I think the first book was fine as a stage setting long prologue to the real story, but the next two books were in a format of a debrief and log recodings. if they story were told in real time perspective as events happened it would have been more exciting. the story itself was not bad, but I had a hard time trying to decide if it was supposed to be an action sci-fi that didn't quite deliver or if it was a series of comical anecdotes that didn't quite land because of the format. Either way I didn't have an emotional connection to the story because the few characters didn't have an emotional connection to who they were talking to. I look forward to the authors growth

Fantastic narration, unique writing style, FUN!
I am a big fan of Jack Voraces and this series uses his skills to the max. I love the more personal feeling of the main character talking directly to us (or interviewing others). Its such a unique take on the Sci-Fi genre and I hope to see more from this author.
