A. G. HAYES AND ME

Posted by Gary Martine on Saturday, March 14, 2020, In : The Edge of Madness: Shadow 
It has been my good fortune to have worked on QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2019) with the imminent author of thrillers, A. G. Hayes. In this fifth work in the Koski and Falk Secret Agent Series, Susan Koski and her partner Joe Falk take on their most complex and dangerous case yet: The Quantum Death Machine.


Since then A. G. and I have ended up in almost daily conversations about Koski and Falk, and most recently, his developing five-book Kate Keenan Special Assignment series, the first work being F...

WORKING WITH SOUL

Posted by Gary Martine on Saturday, July 27, 2019, In : New Books 
I've been consulting these last three weeks almost daily with my friend and co-author A. G. Hayes regarding the sequel to his newest book, 68 VIA CONDOTTI: BOOK ONE - ETERNITY LTD (Savant 2019), the third in his "Kate Keenan Special Assignment" series, regarding the possibility and nature of the "soul" of highly intelligent artificially intelligent robots. In the first book of three, the revealing of a self-programming, highly intelligent, human-appearing robot causes the Vatican, whose missi...

HAVE QUANTA, WILL TRAVEL

Posted by Gary Martine on Wednesday, November 22, 2017, In : Quantum Death 
In Science News October 28, 2017, on page 14, there appeared a first report of a "quantum video chat [that] links Asia [and] Europe." In the article, a quantum video link is established riding on light particles. That probably sounds mundane, but, in fact, when you add the usual quantum physics attributes such as "instantaneous (think concurrent)," "strange," "teleportation," "unlimited distance" you get a better idea of what this experiment represents. Much like the Quantum Death Machine in ...

IT'S A BIRD...IT'S A PLANE...IT'S A WAVE GOODBYE!

Posted by Gary Martine on Friday, September 23, 2016, In : Quantum Death 

In QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016), A. G. Hayes and I introduce the Quantum Death Machine, a theoretical weapon not so much of mass destruction (WMD) as of mass infrastructure interference (WMII). In this new scenario, the objective isn't to destroy an enemy so much as paralyze it, allowing the aggressor to acquire all its resources intact. Our Quantum Death Machine is based on some of the emerging characteristics of theoretical #quantum physics and it's overarching #M-Superstring Theory. in the ...

QUANTUM SUICIDE AND THE IMMORTAL CAT

Posted by Gary Martine on Monday, September 19, 2016, In : Quantum Death 
Okay, nice celestial diversions, but it's time to get back to exploring the unique box that QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) opened. Enter Schroedinger's Cat, a 1935 thought experiment by physicist Erwin Schroedinger that seemingly produces a quantum paradox, namely that a cat in a sealed box with a device designed to kill the cat at a random point in time, results in the [unobserved] cat being simultaneously alive and dead at any one point in time. In this so-called "Copenhagen interpretation" of...

DOWN WITH ASTHMA, UP WITH FINDING KATE

Posted by Gary Martine on Sunday, September 11, 2016, In : Quantum Death 
Sorry not to post for awhile, but the two hurricanes, Madeline and Lester, soaked the mountains and stirred up the pollen, giving me allergic asthma. Every year this time like clockwork, but this time with serious asthma. A consummate author, I took this time to review and give A. G. Hayes new thriller, FINDING KATE (Savant, in production), a final proofreading. Whew! It's a true A. G. Hayes thriller, introducing Kate Keenan, who also appears in QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016).

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...

THE OTHER SIDE OF A THRILLER

Posted by Gary Martine on Sunday, August 28, 2016, In : Quantum Death 

True, a thriller need be no more than a work that thrills readers -- a sort of wild carnival ride -- spanning every possible genre. I, however, have always felt that action needs a counterpoint in order to keep the action new and exciting. My favorite counterpoint is romance, and QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) is a good example of this. While the action takes unfolds, so does the growing relationship between Koski and Falk, begun in the first of the Koski and Falk Series, WHO'S KILLING ALL THE L...

KOSKI AND FALK

Posted by Gary Martine on Sunday, August 21, 2016, In : Quantum Death 
Koski and Falk, two outstanding agents of the ultra-secret Cerebrus agency, first appeared in print in multi-award-winning author, A. G. Hayes' WHO'S KILLING ALL THE LAWYERS? (Savant 2011). Since then Koski and Falk have appeared in four additional adventures, THE JUDAS LIST (Savant 2012), IMMINENT DANGER (Savant 2013), THE CHEMICAL FACTOR (Savant 2015) and now QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016). And their adventures have just begun. 


Already Savant Books and Publications is preparing to release FIND...
