Review of the book:
“I get very
excited when I find a new author I haven’t read before, and this has definitely
got 5 stars from me. I do like a good sci-fi novel on a rainy stormy day.
This story is
based many years in the more advanced future, which has set a brilliant
background and great imagination from the author. You can tell from reading the
pages that a lot of thought, research and imagination has gone into this book,
everything is brilliantly described to help the reader’s imagination grow along
with each turn of the page.
I personally like
the closeness of Go2 and Tilfo friendship even and with the communication
difficulty, Tilfo knows his friend is going through some tough emotions. There
is a deep sense of longing, confusion and raw loneliness from Go2.
The Robocratic is
very interesting and knowledgeable, and is a complete main character that leads
the whole book.
A quote from the author that I had not heard before but has stuck with me since reading the words is, ‘the Earth can provide for everyone’s need but cannot provide for everyone’s greed’.”

A computer hacker and a Wall
Street stock broker join forces to rip off all the world’s banks. They manage
to steal between 1500 – 1600 trillion dollars (at that exalted level, the
figures keep dancing around) effectively bankrupting the planet.
Then, the aliens who are really running our world, abduct them to make demands and offer them a deal.
Excerpt from the book:
“Hamad
and Jonas were untied and each given a shovel. Two, especially evil looking
men, one proudly waving a black handgun, loitered belligerently nearby.
“Dig!”
they were commanded.
Unsure of
what they were digging for, they began to massage the sand with the shovels.
“Dig
faster!” they were commanded.
“If you
don’t hurry up, you’ll be lying in the ground next to them.”
They dug
with renewed vigour and had soon both excavated a hole, roughly a metre deep in
the sand.
“Make
them longer!”
By now
they were dripping with sweat as they continued to shovel sand.
“That’s
enough! Stop digging!” they were commanded.
They
stood back and watched in horror as two of the bodies were dumped into the
holes they’d dug.
“Now,
cover them!”
They
complied. Jonas tried not to look at the body he was burying but couldn’t help
noticing deep gashes where the internal organs had been removed. Unable to
control himself he vomited into the shallow grave.
This
caused his captors to laugh heartily.
After
they’d both dug and filled a second grave they were reattached to the
disinterested camel and led back the way they’d come.
Almost.
While
he’d been digging the second grave, Hamad had unearthed an unusually shaped
stone. Unnoticed by his bored captors, he’d managed to manoeuvre it within
reach and sequestered it into a fold within his sweat drenched pants.
The stone
had a sharp edge and as they were led back through the desert, he used it to
cut through the rope securing them to the ambling dromedary ahead. Their
cursing, blaspheming captors were distracted arguing with each other and didn’t
waste their attention on their young prisoners.
As soon as the rope was severed, the two boys quietly disappeared behind an enormous sand dune.”

DI Turnbull is involved in a gripping new murder mystery
Amid the gristly serial
killings of a deranged psychopath, a father stands accused of filicide – the
murder of his own daughter… His alleged crime is strikingly similar to the
ones causing terror in the Bradford community by the predator known as The
Ripper.
The lead investigator of the
Bradford Murder Squad, DI Turnbull, is back – his task to distinguish fact from
fiction and untangle evidence that points in alarming directions. Did this man
murder his own daughter? And if he did, is he indeed Ripper2?
Taut, stark and outright mysterious, James Stewart’s newest novel will keep his readers guessing well beyond the last page…
About the Author
In an almost unprecedented career move, a Senior Yorkshire Judge has turned himself into a prolific novelist. James Stewart, the well-known former Recorder of Bradford, has this month published his fourth novel in just a year. James, who as a QC worked out of the top Leeds Chambers at Park Court, was involved in many high profile criminal cases all over the UK and in the South Pacific. Then, as a judge, he presided over some of the notorious murder cases that came before the Bradford and Leeds Courts. The experience of these cases lies behind all his novels. The first, The Honour Killing, came out in late 2017 (under the pseudonym J S Hamilton), to be followed by Missing, about a vanished au pair girl, and then Slaughter, followed by Ripper2 (all written under the name James Stewart).
Excerpt from the book:
“What do you think?” Turnbull asked Jasper.
“Well, sir, Ted Kitchen had the opportunity
in the house to kill Barbara. His wife had gone to work and his son had gone to
school. There is blood in the cellar to corroborate the place of the killing. He,
on the face of it, is the only one with an opportunity. She was never seen
making her way to school by our two witnesses, one on Park Drive, one on Emm
Lane. Kitchen’s route to Silsden took him past the river at Ben Rhydding. I
doubt he dumped the body in daylight. He would have waited until his return
from work in the dark. That explains his late arrival at home. The blood spot
in the boot shows he took the body in the book of his car. He came home
mid-morning to wash his clothes. There is no trace in the washing machine of
blood, but he could have run it several times to ensure that. He therefore had
the opportunity and the means with the hammer, which has been washed. Who
washes a hammer? He had the motive. He’s having an affair which his daughter,
the victim, intended to have out with him, according to her friend at school
and her boyfriend. Although, it adds up to a reasonably strong case,” said
Jasper.
“Now,” said Turnbull, “we have to consider the other two murders. Could he be responsible for them also? It’s a big coincidence; three schoolgirls of the same age killed in an almost identical manner with the same number of blows with possibly the same hammer in the Bradford area. What should be our next step?”

***********************************************************************
Five years on, having just
emerged from forced confinement, former Chair of the Deltic Observers and
Steady Enthusiasts (DOSE), “Diesel Dan” Settles, must now confront
his apparent lack of direction and absence of plan for the rest of his life.
There was no going back to what was; the breakers’ yards had seen to that.
Join him as he struggles to regain his own sense of dignity and purpose. Will another opportunity to pursue his interest appear, or will he simply have to contend with the reality of life without it?
Excerpt from the book:
“Timothy was late coming in that morning.
He had patiently tracked the TDA individually, then collectively, that week,
and the evening of the last meeting had followed Shorrts to the hut and waited
patiently till they had all departed that following morning. Slinking into the
vacant lot, pushing open the flimsy door, and locating a box of matches inside,
he tossed the pegged stools outside and set the place on fire, the
two-sizes-too-small plastic jacket, the fish and chip papers among the first to
burn. “That’s getting them, hey,” he said gleefully as the TDA official hut was
consumed in a red, orange and yellow glow. He spared the coal box which had
been placed to the left of the structure. Laughing as he left the scene, he
remarked out loud to no one in particular, “One shouldn’t leave matchboxes
lying about,” followed by, “mind the gap.” A minute later, and the galvanised
zinc and wall ‘roof’ fell in, completing the hut’s miserable end.
The fire was never reported by the indifferent denizens who lived nearby. The pegged stools vanished the same morning of the conflagration. A curiously chubby odd man with a black wagon was subsequently seen with his latest treasures, moving slowly down a congested street, seemingly oblivious to the constant vitriol, blare of horns and epithets that were directed at him and his conveyance. Several days later, the coal stove – sole survivor otherwise, and still intact – disappeared to an unknown venue, where it serves its purpose well – to this very day.”
