BOTR welcomes J.J. Cade, the latest novelist to join our ranks for the quirkiest novels 'Moving the Force' and 'Jubilee Ki.' The panel were hugely impressed by these as yet unpublished novels due to their multi-faceted plot lines and their relevance to humanity's multiple crises. Here's a precis along with one of several reviews from our critical readers' group.
Precis: Content with life as a small time hacker, and an occasional sexual foray with a willing female partner, Megan Crafter's comfort zone is shattered by her father's theft of a mobile phone. Life becomes chaotic and beyond her control. Complexity increases when she meets an eccentric CEO with a fascination for ancient texts. It expands further on meeting a group of corporate criminals as a mission to solve humanity's crises becomes her goal. But in her new reluctant quest she faces the greatest paradox - must she die to fulfil her goal?
Critical Review: I initially applauded two seriously impressive novels. But something niggled at the back of my mind until realisation hit like a lightning bolt. This is the most layered and eclectic story I've read in ages and merits plaudits. But when revelation dawned I was left with how does J.J. Cade engage the reader in the greatest historical archetype re-fashioned as two contemporary novels? How many readers will experience similar responses? A truly brilliant work. Where The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' meets 'Oceans 11' with a few shades of grey, and much more. ET.
Our new author is considering publishing options, and is also searching for a mischievously seditious feminist producer to convert this unique content into film and/or tv drama.
