I knew Steven James had a hit on his hands when a fellow work who does not read fiction couldn't stop talking about his book The Pawn. What followed was a series that we both raced to read so we could discuss what was happening and if we had figured out the bad guys and what they were up to.
With such a strong first series I was a little concerned about Steven's next series. Of course that was unnecessary and he followed up strongly with the Jevin Banks novel Placebo and now Singularity.Jevin is a magician and he and a friend are about to preform a magnificent stunt live on the internet. Emilio will be buried alive with 5 live Cobras, he needs to dig himself out of the coffin without being bitten by the snakes and killed. Well that is the plan, of course there are "tricks" involved like all the snakes have had their venom sack removed and long with a few others. But someone wanted Emilio dead and the were two extra snakes no one knew about and now Jevin wants to know why.
I will say these books are not as fast-paced as the Patrick Bowers series, but that does not make them any less entertaining. The mystery and bad guys are still interesting enough that the co-worker who doesn't read fiction is reading this series and looking forward to more of Steven's books. There are several really quirky main characters which makes the book that much more fun to read.
I think that any conspiracy theorist will love these books. What is the goverment hiding from us? What experiements are different companies doing on humans and who is willing to pay for it? All those kind of fun and funky questions get asked and maybe answered in this series, just remember it is fiction.
Happy Reading
