Chicken or Egg?

Posted by Gary Martine on Tuesday, April 21, 2020, In : The Edge of Madness: Shadow 

Which came first, lack of infrastructure to handle a pandemic like COVID-19, or the COVID-19 pandemic? I can't think of a more cogent question today. Virtually everything today that isn't "working" well is being blamed on COVID-19, and, well, maybe to some extent that's true. COVID-19 is the spark that ignited interest in all the failings of our current infrastructures from politics, to government, economics, transportation, education, social services (my furloughed partner has been waiting f...

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...

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 ...

TAKING WRITING TO THE EDGE OF MADNESS

Posted by Gary Martine on Friday, August 9, 2019, In : The Edge of Madness: Shadow 
It's my special pleasure to announce that Aignos Publishing, an imprint of Savant Books and Publications, has accepted my newest techno-thriller, "The Edge of Madness: Shadow" for publication. Taking up where TOTAL MELTDOWN by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese (Borgo/Wildside 2009) left off, NewAmerica, now a shadow of the former United States of America, provides a challenging and dangerous future place for three young firebrands to live -- dystopic science fiction that rings all too true i...

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...

SHOULD KOSKI AND FALK DANCE?

Posted by Gary Martine on Friday, December 15, 2017, In : New Books 
Being an avid amateur competitive dancer and having co-authored QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) with A. G. Hayes, I've been discussing with A. G. a sequel adventure I'm calling "The Bridge at Vittorio Veneto." In it, Koski and Falk would each be compelled to face their pasts that have continued to get in the way of their developing relationship. What I'd like to do is to end it with an intimate dance. 


It all started when I received a new competition tail suit. I'm somewhat short in stature for a ...

A NEXT-DOOR QUANTUM EVENT

Posted by Gary Martine on Tuesday, October 24, 2017, In : Quantum Death 
While the word "quantum" often conjures up visions of the dark cosmos or mysterious occurrences not entirely inappropriate this time of year with Halloween looming a week away), things quantum can also be experienced in our real world in real time. Take for instance last night: Honolulu, Hawaii, the land of warm, sunny days and gentle trade winds, experienced it's annual monsoon, separating the hot, humid days of late fall and the cool, sunny days of winter, spring and summer. I instantly gra...

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...

FIRST AMAZON REVIEW OF QUANTUM DEATH

Posted by Raymond Gaynor on Friday, September 30, 2016, In : Quantum Death 
First Amazon review for QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) posted at https://www.amazon.com/dp/0996325530: 

4/5 Stars - "Quantum Death left me on the edge of my seat beginning to end. I was so afraid for Koski and Falk and for the USA! Quantum physics comes in to play with new technology, and the Cerebus team for the US springs into action to save our country even as it was being destroyed and simultaneously, sold out from under us. Who was cyber attacking us? How? How could we defend ourselves? This...

TIME FOR SOME CELEBRATORY MUSIC AND DANCE

Posted by Raymond Gaynor on Thursday, September 29, 2016, In : Quantum Death 
Having successfully begun the launch of QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016), I decided it was time to celebrate, and what better way to do so than with music and dance. 

The "Fab Four" were visiting Waikiki, and my partner and I decided it was time to meet the Beetles in person (a la live avatars) and re-experience the 60's to present with those iconic musicians, often alluded to as the outstanding musicians of our century. The Fab Four didn't disappoint. It proved more than a stroll down Memory (Penn...

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...
