fabulous amateur sleuth science fiction

In 3651 C.E. someone murders Anjelica Briggs, the former wife of Terran Defense Directorate Captain Daniel Briggs. Law enforcement, following millenniums of tradition, looks at the ex-husband as the prime suspect. Adding to that belief is that Daniel has fled making him look even more suspicious. A manhunt of mammoth proportions begins.
Daniel tries to hide in the mean streets the capital city Boomtown eluding the cops and seeking the truth that will prove his innocence. Used to the adverse conditions of a warrior with off planet combat experience, Daniel realizes that the decadent streets of Boomtown contain predators much more dangerous than any of the extraterrestrials he fought against. As he inches closer to learning who killed Anjelica and why, Daniel struggles to stay alive in this alien world relatively close to his home while knowing that the hunters are closing the net around him.
Fans of amateur sleuth science fiction will appreciate this strong tale starring a fabulous protagonist. Though military honed and containing paranormal skills, Daniel struggles against the street, an unknown enemy, and the law. The key to this delightful futuristic who-done-it is believability in the settings especially Boomtown and the short background "History of the World", but especially the desperate hero. WHO MOURNS FOR MAJIK is a fabulous blending of a fine mystery within a solid speculative fiction environs.

BETTER THAN STAR TREK
Rating:
5 / 5
I couldn't read this novel fast enough. I literally ate this book up. The main character Daniel Briggs epitomized everything that you would expect in a viral, military icon. His masculinity drew me right into the story. He was alluring and enticing... a luxury to female readers... the embodiment of raw emotion wrapped in a hero's shell. I couldn't put the book down and when I did, it was only long enough to grab a quick nap. Then I was back in the story. I loved it... cover to cover. The supporting character Brent Forester was another plus. Noble, supporting and sacrificing... with a sex appeal that stole my breath away. Side by side with Emma Lemieux, his female counterpart, Brent steals scene after scene. In the end I can't wait for the next novel in the trilogy. I'm drooling for its release. I'd love to see it on the movie screen. Daniel and Brent are my kind of men!

I personally enjoyed the book, it was challenging, exciting and emotional. Just when you feel you have it all figured out the real truth comes out! I felt a lot of emotion and anticipation, normally I can figure out where a story is going but not this time, surprising!
Excellent imagination and creativity! Can't wait for the movie!
