QUANTUM DINING

Posted by Gary Martine on Friday, October 20, 2017, In : Quantum Death 
ALOHA Everyone! Yes, today's blog is truly about "quantum dining" which, translated, means dining with a copy of QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) by A. G. Hayes with, you guessed it, me, Raymond Gaynor, aka Gary Martine, D. S. Janik and/or Daniel S. Janik. This afternoon, I visited a favorite Vietnamese restaurant that serves delicious Pho, a soup not unlike Japanese Ramen but with a totally different taste. 


Yum. While waiting, I displayed my newest book and generated some surprising interest. Fir...

PROPHETIC, NOTHING LESS

Posted by Gary Martine on Friday, September 1, 2017, In : Quantum Death 
When I wrote QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2017) with A. G. Hayes, I never expected the plot would so quickly transform from techno-political thriller to modern day drama. Take the basic plot: North Korea at the lead, with China watching and cheering, and Russia, dare I say it, coming to the aid of American agents Koski and Falk. Or how about it's cyber-warfare/dark web/The Onion Ring (TOR)-based financing using Bitcoins? And how about the "Quantum Death Machine," originating in Russian and finding i...

SHOULDN'T ALL THRILLERS HAVE A VILLAIN?

Posted by Gary Martine on Wednesday, August 31, 2016, In : Quantum Death 
It's said that powering every thriller is "tension" that typically comes from the existence of a protagonist and antagonist. I was taught this by the best, but I've always wondered if an antagonist-villain was really necessary to power a thriller. One thing about QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) that's different than many other thrillers, is that there is no personification of evil, no antagonist-villain per se. In that sense, perhaps, QUANTUM DEATH is more of a mystery by definition. And yet...

THE (DOUBLE-HEADED) EAGLE THAT TWEETED

Posted by Gary Martine on Friday, August 12, 2016, In : Quantum Death 
Russia these days is getting bad publicity, perhaps deservedly, but in QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016), a politico-techno-thriller, Raymond Gaynor (that's me) and my colleague, multi-award-winning author A. G. Hayes, paint Russia, or at least Russians, in a different light.


Post perestroika, post glasnost, while the USA bristles with frustration over a massive and crippling cyber-attack and looks menacingly towards Russia as the source, in a twist of fate, our "enemy" becomes a much needed "frien...

IF PUTIN HAS HIS WAY...

Posted by Gary Martine on Friday, August 12, 2016, In : Quantum Death 
What can I say? I've now written two thrillers, each toying with the idea of the United States experiencing a kind of perestroika and glasnost not unlike the former USSR experienced under Gorbachov. In my latest novel, a politico-techno-thriller entitled QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) co-written with the incomparable A. G. Hayes, the United States faces just such a scenario.


In my previous work, TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2011), it actually happens, with what can only be called astounding re...

Quantum Death Hits Europe

Posted by Gary Martine on Sunday, August 7, 2016, In : Quantum Death 
I was pleased to see that my most recent book, QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016), published with multi-award-winning thriller writer A. G. Hayes, has received an Amsterdam Book Festival Award. While set throughout the USA and Pacific including Hawaii, the impact of the technology involved, that of quantum physics and more specifically the quantum singularity, will be of interest to everyone following CERN's new particle Super-Collider and the search for new particle characteristics. The Super-Colli...

QUANTUM DEATH APPROACHES

Posted by Gary Martine on Tuesday, February 23, 2016, In : New Books 
When A. G. Hayes asked me to work with him on his new political-techno thriller, QUANTUM DEATH, I ran to my computer and immediately began my contributions. It was an easy write: Everything flowed like water down a waterfall, as if Koski and Falk were talking directly to me about their adventure. Koski in particular talked directly to my heart. 




Where in the world could something as sinister as the the kvantovaya mashina smerti -- the 'Quantum Death Machine' -- come from you might ask? And is ...
