To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Like the first book 'Loss of reason' I thoroughly enjoyed the second book. The author seems very well learned and has done a tremendous amount of research. As in the first book I continue to enjoy the characters and particularly the authors ability to personalise the characters with their own human strengths, flaws and inner conflicts. Especially with one character questioning everything he ever believed in - Faith in God. I'll be interested to see how this particular character fares in the next upcoming book. Good work!
Book 2 in State Of Reason Mystery series! After the nuclear bombs demolishing New York and just missing Washington, when the two half-brothers Franklin and Everon attempted to rescue their sister Cynthia, Everon Student fights against time to reconnect the power supplies, whilst the Reverend Franklin Reveal is caught up in the bomber’s world having rescued his pet owl Harry (Ting) and tries to decipher his sister’s messages contained on a finance sheet. I thought the first book exciting until I read this one. Action packed and crammed with technical competency, historical and religious knowledge that is quite breath-taking. This book is frighteningly real in current world happenings the ending having me so enthralled I forgot to make dinner! I think I read most of it with my mouth wide open. I loved the author’s style and his books are so well written. Here is an author to follow – can’t wait for the third in the series! Pat McDonald British Crime author
I could waffle on about superb plotting, world building, tension, global overview, and awesome characterisation, those things are very true but I won’t. All anyone needs to know is that this book, this series will set the brain aflame and the heart pounding right from the start. It’s that good!

Now we're Talkin! The first one of this series I found a bit predictable with only 2 twists, but THIS one is a wild and weird, and wonderful, multi-dimensional whirl. It becomes surreal, in that all the little tricks your mind plays, run up and score in Search for Reason. The action is super fast, the under story leaves more questions than it answers, and was both annoyed and grateful that there was another book to get some answers from. Enjoy this series!
