What exactly is a BIALIEN? Is it some sort of new dance or a recipe for a new exotic dish? Well according to author Vlane Carter, a BIALIEN is Jaden Marino or at least that is what he becomes in the book The BIALIEN Trilogy, an Alien of Two Worlds (volume 1; part 1). Belonging to the ever popular genre of science fiction this book delivers an attention grabbing science fiction story of the fantastical adventures of central character Jaden Marino. BIALIEN … volume 1, is the first in the trilogy of science fiction books that gives the reader’s imagination a real workout. Creative and inventive from the onset the world of Jaden Marino (and the worlds he experiences) are well detailed and chock full of interesting science fiction steeped ideals. Author Vlane Carter has created the adventures of a lifetime within the confines of the life of nineteen year old Jaden Marino. As the story opens the reader is taken in by Jaden’s run for his life, he is being pursued by the military under the false pretense that he stole an experimental plane however, the truth of the matter is that Jaden discovered a landed UFO and the wicked government wants to keep it a secret and shut Jaden up permanently. While he is running Jaden goes back to the UFO and finds protection from the evil military and thus begins his journey to becoming a BIALIEN. It is through the use of nanotechnology that Jaden eventually becomes a BIALIEN. Jaden’s experiences and encounters with alien life forms and their advanced technology proves to be a perfect fit, as he easily adapts to many “alien” types of experiences including, out of body experiences like traveling and observing via a “nanoeye”, telepathic communication, using x-ray vision and camaraderie with other alien life forms. As Jaden is being watched and aided by a friendly race of aliens, the Andromedians they become so impressed with Jaden that they charge him with the responsibility to return to earth and unite earth so that earth can fight an impending evil alien invasion that comes in the form of another evil alien race called the Darclonians. The saga continues in BIALIEN series Volume 1; book 2 and BIALIEN series Volume 1; book 3. The series is continued thereafter in Volume ll; parts 1, 2, 3 and Volume lll; parts 1, 2, 3. Overall this is an intriguing story that brings to mind some of the other great science fiction adventures of the past such as Star Wars. While this book does make for a good read there are a few editing issues, such as misspellings, confusion of word tenses and spacing issues. Also these books are categorized as “graphic” novels although there is little in the way of actual graphics presented in the book however, the ones that scattered throughout the books are awesome. Another interesting point about this trilogy is the author has determined that his writing the books in the present tense which allows the reader to experience the novel “… as if they were watching a movie”. I found this a little confusing initially but as I read on, I found myself getting past that issue as I became immersed in the story. I would recommend the BIALIEN trilogy to any science fiction fans that like to get lost in adventure.

There are some mysteries in life that will always defy explanation but eventually fade into the category of the “inexplicable” and then there is the category of events that are inexplicable but debatable. The subject of PSI is one of those inexplicable but debatable topics that have always raised questions that have gone unanswered. Luckily there those within the scientific community that have dedicated their knowledge, wisdom and scientific prowess to seeking the truth to the unanswered questions that are raised in terms of humans and the conscious wielding of PSI powers. One such person is Dr. Theresa M. Kelly who is a renowned metaphysicist and bestselling author. Dr. Kelly has compiled a textbook titled Telepathy A Quantum Approach: The Psychical Influence of Thought which aptly details the in depth study and testing of the PSI ability of telepathy and other aspects of PSI within the scientific realm. This book also includes the building blocks needed to help enhance open up your PSI abilities; this also includes a diet regime and changes in thinking and lifestyle. This is a somewhat technical book and uses many scientific terms that may or may not be familiar to the reader. Although the language used is not extremely difficult to understand it would have helped to have an included glossary to help along the reading and learning process. This book reads pretty much like textbook should, it contains a great deal of subject related data and it is presented thoroughly. Also it does help to have a basic understanding of what PSI is and an interest in the various scientific testing processes; in that way the data reported from the scientific aspect of this book makes sense. This book is packed with some eye opening information that will lead the inquisitive reader into looking for further information. The reader/student is also tested on their recently attained knowledge with questions posed at the end of each chapter. A great plus about this book is the included mental exercises that anyone of any level of PSI experience can try and with a bit of effort may receive notable results. Overall this book is a good solid textbook that is rich with information and possibilities for students. I would recommend this book as a text book for students or the learned of the metaphysical.

There is nothing like a good story that captures a reader’s interest and imagination. A well written story, whether it is horror, suspense, adventure or drama should contain the elements that honor the genre for which it has been written. A prime example of a book that pays homage to the horror genre is The Dead of winter-The best Chilling Tales by author William P. Robertson. Author William P. Robertson is no stranger to the literary world as he has written hundreds of short stories, poems, articles and several books. Being no stranger myself to reading this genre I have found myself enamored with this book. The Dead of Winter is an exceedingly well written book that contains a thrilling collection of short stories that both enthrall and entertain. Within its pages this book contains some of the better creative and fear inducing tales that I have read. The detailed stories capture your interest and draw you into the scare imbued world of the story. Reading William P. Robertson brings to mind remembrances of other great horror writers; his writing style is unique yet resonates with the spine tingling details that great seasoned horror writers offer. Creating an environment of fear and frights that assail the reader’s senses these stories do please and are sure to keep you reading with the lights on as your senses are assailed by the realistic and fear inducing scenes in each story. While all the stories are great, there are several in particular that I found extra enjoyable; they are Estranged, Mary and Emmett, Bad Things Happen to Bad men and The Price of a Pint. I personally look forward to reading more by this author. I highly recommend this book to those with the desire to curl up with a good book, with lots of lights on during the Dead of Winter.
