The Mind of Stefan Dürr: The SHIVA Syndrome Trilogy (Book 1) by Alan Joshua (Book Review #307)
Dr. Beau is recruited to search on whats going on, and that’s when the adventure begins. In a world where unimaginable high advanced technologies are waiting to be explored, Dr. Beau has to find the cause or else there won’t be much to live for.
The storyline has a mixture of science fiction and spirituality. This multidimensional story is far from over as you begin understanding the concept of its strong world setting. The author leaves nothing to question or doubt supplying a very in-depth and thoughtful plot.
The entire story is thrilling to read and satisfying to a person who really appreciates good literature and Sci-fi stories. I recommend this book to people that like to read stories where the human mind creates realistic outcomes in the world.

Once Lost Lords by Stephan Morse (Book Review #14)
Summary
“Humanity hasn’t been alone for almost two thousand years. Elves, wolves, vampires, all joined together with mankind to eradicate the ‘darker’ races and maintained a tentative peace until modern times. Society adapted, everyone has rules that help keep the peace in this modern era. Yet, absolute genocide is impossible when talking about creatures beyond the pale. Some hid, some buried, others were re-purposed.
Some, like Jay Fields, pass for human with a little bit extra. His abilities didn’t belong to one of the major races, but any information was buried along with the long-dead boogie men. All Jay cared about was those closest to him and a job that let him hit people. He used to be a bouncer at a bar, a part-time enforcer for a loan shark, and even a fight club champion.
That was four years ago before betrayal by someone close sent him packing.
Now he’s back and trying to recover a life he left behind. Questions of origin aren’t his only problems. His ex-girlfriend is a vampire. His part-time boss doesn’t think he’s up to snuff anymore. There’s a missing elf who might have some answers, and Jay’s best friend is caught up in something dangerous.” – Taken from Once Lost Lords
Review
Jay Fields has gone away for four years only to come back to an angry ex-girlfriend, rent overdue and a friend asking for favors. Now he wants to mend things over in a world that Elves, wolves, and vampires have evolved and do not act in their known primitive ways. Everyone wants to get along, as much as they can help it anyway.
Once Lost Lords, is a book about survival, love, and intense battles. Stephan Morse takes us into dark times, where Elves, wolves, vampires are living together. Jay Fields is a tracker; one of the few left that takes contract jobs from his friends to make ends meet. As you do, he gets mixed into a favor of which costs him more than he originally bargained.
“I closed both eyes and tried to wish the lock of hair away. That failed.” Jay says after he returns from a four-year absence to avoid certain confrontations.
The battles were epic and the fights very pleasantly explained. Stephan Morse’s art in literature is superb. He writes in such a manner that you can effortlessly visualize the scenes in your head. I believe this skill is something not many writers have, and I congratulate him for his talent.
The characters, plot and the overall story was intriguing, and if you are a person that likes to read science fiction stories, this book is definitely up your avenue. Each setting was explained with precision, and it was clear that the author wanted to intensify the feeling of its reader and capture their attention in every scene.
With all said, I did find the book a little slow in pace at times. For instance, Jay Fields gets out of bed to leave his house as his friend is waiting on him. From his bed to the door you would have had to read, at least five pages containing Jay’s thoughts, possible black flashes, then physical surroundings and maybe some dialogue with his friend. You could not help yourself sometimes from asking where is the Author going with this?
Having said this, do not turn away from the book as it has just enough juice to please any reader. The ending was very nicely put together. It leaves a fair amount of curiosity for wanting to know what happens next but yet content to where it leaves you.

White Bear’s Big Adventure by Marie Cheine (Book Review #305)
This book is about one of the adventures he goes through as he gets lost and has to find his way back to the little girl. Angels illness is so bad that she has to consistently undergo surgeries and that’s how the bear is left behind and tossed into the laundry, by accident. This is a wonderful book for children who are going through the same struggles. There are many kids who feel like they may be alone and I felt that it was very sweet to bring a plush toy to life in order to demonstrate a child’s feeling in attachment thoughts, and their imagination.
This story would be very suitable for parents reading to their kids. The story is fun, full of adventure and has subtle learning messages that work well with the storyline. I recommend this book and enjoyed reading it.

The History of New Innovations in Modern Medicine by Dr. James D. Okun MD, Evangelita Goodwell (Book Review #16)
This book is almost like a dedicated memoir of collected physicians that have almost become forgotten by the modern society, of whom their discoveries are to this day the reason why many of us have the ability to live a longer life.
In every chapter of this book, Author, Dr. Okun & Goodwell, initially introduce us to an inventor, his background and how they discover the cure to a particular illness. In most cases, instead of being appreciated for new ideas and new ways of thinking the innovators were mocked, ignored and their works were either not published or condemned. In the end, he passionately explains how if that particular illness had no cure he and many of us would not be living to this day.
His insightful writing on how unfortunate these great minds were and how they suffered for us is heartbreaking. However, according to him, without such sufferings and their ideas, countless lives would not have been saved. He firmly believes that “every discovery could not have been possible if the person who discovered them did not have a notion of what Aristotle calls “wet and dry” otherwise known as opposites.”
I liked the fact that the Authors related their personal lives and troubles with these medical discoveries and created a relationship between the two. Because of the way they created this connection, it was much easier to see and appreciate the journey.
In summary, both authors take their time to write a book about innovations in modern medicine and in some way say thanks to all physicians that dedicated their lives and suffered a great deal for humanity, in hopes for us to gain a stronger appreciation for the arts, the sciences and ourselves. The book brings us up to date with how in fact we are now able to live a longer life. Subsequently, teaching us not to give up on our belief and dreams even when the whole world is against us.
I recommend this book to everyone.
