THE END OF ANOTHER ERA?

Posted by Gary Martine on Friday, March 13, 2020, In : The Edge of Madness: Shadow 
Once again, history repeats.

Ushered in by birth control, the 60s through the 70s was the era of “Free Love,” until in the 80s when innocence was lost to the HIV epidemic.

Fast forward to the 00s when Facebook, taking advantage of computers, cell phones and the internet, ushered in a new era: one in which people could establish social connections and physical relationships with others easily anywhere on the planet. Our recently enjoyed era of “Connection” innocence is now being lost to ...

CONGRATULATIONS GOODREADS BOOK GIVEAWAY WINNERS

Posted by Raymond Gaynor on Thursday, December 8, 2016, In : Quantum Death 
It's hard to believe that 6 December 2016 is past, signaling the end of my Goodreads Giveaway for ten (10) signed copies of QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) by A. G. Hayes with Raymond Gaynor. My personal congratulation to the winners and also to the 560 entrants who expressed an interest in QUANTUM DEATH. The book is available in both softcover ($16.95 from Amazon.com) and Kindle eBook format ($7.95), and can still be purchased for yourself or as a gift in time for the holidays. I don't know of a...

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE ELECTION...

Posted by Raymond Gaynor on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, In : 2016 USA Elections 
I was asked yesterday by a friend who I was going to vote for. An innocuous question, to my surprise, asked in a decidedly acrimonious voice. It was as if whomever I voted for, if it wasn't the same as the person he voted for, our relationship, perhaps even our lifelong friendship would suddenly fall into doubt. 

First, like many Americans, I'm sick of the tsunami of pathos, ethos, keiros and personally interpreted numos, and the almost total lack of the only kind of argument that has any trut...

WHERE IN THE WORLD...?

Posted by Raymond Gaynor on Thursday, October 27, 2016, In : Quantum Death 

The new breed of dictatorial politicians represent more than another adventure for special agents Tripler and Clarke — TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2005) — or Koski and Falk — QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016). They represent what's going awry in a world that is increasingly losing its core humanity. In a phrase, that's what's at the very heart of many contemporary thrillers. Not dystopia. Not violence. Not abuse. Not sex, money, power or arrogance. Without what makes humans human -- joy, m...

THE QUANTUM DEATH MACHINE EXPLAINED

Posted by Gary Martine on Sunday, September 4, 2016, In : Quantum Death 
I'm often asked to explain the details of how the kvantovaya mashina smerti, the Quantum Death Machine, in QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) worked. While all of what was disclosed in the book is true, at least to a lesser scale, I must admit to using it as a MacGuffin. For those who haven't heard that term before, a MacGuffin, is some goal, object, or other motivator that the protagonist pursues, usually with little or no narrative explanation, often that is actually not central to the overall act...

If It's Sunday It Must Be Japan

Posted by Gary Martine on Sunday, July 5, 2009, In : Hawaiiana 
As some of you know, I left Hawaii a few days ago for Japan to completing the background research for my next novel, "The Sword of Kamehameha," set in 1260 feudal Japan and Hawaii. The last couple of days, I've been meeting with traditional Japanese sword-makers, learning about how swords were made in the 1200's. I was surprised to find that traditional Japanese sword-makers can recount the evolution of their techniques back over a thousand years. That means that the Sword of Kamehameha proba...
