THE SUN newspaper on the first volume in the series, Soul’s Asylum: “ A weird, vivid and creepy book, not for the faint hearted. But it’s originality and top writing make for a great read ****.”
TV Presenter JULIETTE FOSTER: "Pearson is the possessor of an extraordinary imagination that brilliantly assaults every variant of the sci-fi genre."
Telepath and psychopath-buster Milla Carter continues to fight a far greater threat from outer space.
London: Hovering over the inky shadows of the megacity’s crevassed streets, a patrol drone discovers a corpse – a dead woman, garroted with a cheese wire and scalped, the signature MO of the ‘Sioux’ serial killer who has prowled the capital for years.
In hot pursuit, the sexy telepath Milla Carter finds herself incapable of reading the killer’s thoughts. The psychopath, who turns out to be telepath opaque, is damn near impossible to ensnare.
In need of reinforcements, she joins the telepath sisterhood in their fight against members of the Earth’s Senate – until, they learn that a deadly alien swarm is closing in on the outer fringes of space.

TV Presenter, JULIETTE FOSTER: "...Pearson is the possessor of an extraordinary imagination that brilliantly assaults every variant of the sci-fi genre. His writing is vivid, urban and unflinching in its descriptions, taking the reader on a breathtaking journey through Saturn's rings, outer world 'constructs', altered perceptions and a glorious African landscape smouldering with sexual heat and the odour of violence. This is hard-hitting story telling with full-on language and a brutally splendid plot twist, which, if you make it to the end, will leave you crossing your legs!"
‘The dry thing behind her eyes made her stand up; it stooped, collected the child into its mother’s arms and stepped out into space.’ We pick up the story of Milla Carter after the destruction of the Body Holiday Foundation. She has ripped down the poisoned tree but the parasite still lives, and the infection is worse than anyone could possibly imagine. It is no longer just Carter fighting for survival and the forces arrayed against her are more powerful than ever before. From a ledge 173 floors above the Moscow streets to New York, the asteroid belt and beyond, Soul’s Asylum establishes Derek E Pearson as one of the most prolific imaginations in the science fiction arena. ‘Look at it, my first sight of alien life and it’s infesting a chunk of murdered human meat.’ ‘Where Pearson will take you is impossible to predict, strap in and enjoy the ride. The Body Holiday trilogy has concluded, Soul’s Asylum begins a new epic tale in the same universe. We are no longer asking who dunnit but what – and why?’

TV Presenter JULIETTE FOSTER: "Pearson’s galactic-sized imagination delivers a compelling image of a chic, high-tech society infused with a toxic strain that feeds on extreme violence. It’s a disturbingly twisted vision of the future and Pearson’s tough, unflinching narrative almost dares the reader to look away from the monstrousness. Don’t, because Milla Carter, his feisty, sexy heroine, is the weapon of retribution.
A Time To Prey is a gripping read that boldly and intelligently explores the vision of an ugly, amoral future in which goodness must fight for survival. In this dystopian nightmare, privacy is non-existent, life is cheap, killers have fan clubs, while the only individuals who count for something are those with money. Milla’s crusade has a biblical quality in which she is elevated as a force of hope against the corporate anti-Christ of the Body Holiday Foundation. Good will survive, but at what cost?
For anyone offended by swearing, violence and explicit sex then A Time To Prey won’t be an easy read. Yet it’s worth remembering that nothing about the content is gratuitous. Pearson is simply encouraging us to think about the type of future we could end up getting. The blunt ‘in your face’ tone of the narrative may be crude, but it works."
Lethal is rarely this lovely
Sensuous telepath Milla Carter knows that a business which generates dollars from selling extreme pornography and murder as ‘quality entertainment’, won’t roll over easily. She’ll have to use her lightening quickness and enhanced senses like never before if she’s to outwit and annihilate both the Body Holiday Foundation and its hired assassin. For the sleekly-beautiful Su-Nami, part human/part machine, killing is a game and the spoils an edible feast.

Revenge needs no salt to taste this good!
The sexy all-action heroine Milla Carter's breathtaking journey extends through outer-world "constructs", now visiting an African landscape smouldering with sexual heat and the odour of violence.
In this sequel to Body Holiday, Milla's war against the sinister Body Holiday Foundation and its twisted founder is more than just personal. She's out to destroy them both and, quite frankly, who can blame her? This outfit makes big bucks from normalising some of the most depraved forms of human behaviour. Nothing is off-limits where these creeps are concerned and they deserve every bit of what's coming.

Body Holiday: The Adventures of Milla Carter
24/09/2014
$1.26
"IT'S DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT DOWN"
The young couple's holiday to die for, Milla Carter's and Franklyn's, looks in danger of becoming just that. The future depicted is dysfunctional, cold and frighteningly voyeuristic. Corporate power presides, with no respect for privacy. Saturated with hard core pornography this world has lost the power to even be offended.
TV Presenter JULIETTE FOSTER: "Imaginative and sexually explicit. Yet the edgy “in your face” writing and tightly structured plot are damn near impossible to put down."
An older couple, ex-glamour model Ruth and her rich husband Pearce, had engaged Milla and Franklyn to swap bodies, in a process called ‘Transition’. The lure of such a 'Body Holiday', reacquainting intimately in younger bodies, was simply irresistible to them.
Unfortunately the dream vacation descends into a brutal game of survival. The couples are pitched against a malevolent force that's always one step ahead. Can they escape the nightmare, or are they destined to spend the rest of their lives on the run trapped in each other’s bodies?
TV Presenter JULIETTE FOSTER: Chilling amounts of gore and explosions of Armageddon proportions give the story the adrenalin-coated rush of a Grand Theft Auto game. Yet there’s also a quasi gallows humour running through the narrative. It’s Milla who really stands out. She’s a woman of action, the shining light in the darkness, which is why her anger is palpable when a shocking plot twist exposes a terrible betrayal. Yet Milla’s integrity is a contradiction. By rights, it shouldn’t exist in a world that disparages decency, yet somehow it stays intact.
