Taj's Sabbatical: Book One, Sol System Enforcer Chronicles

 Book Cover


Taj's Sabbatical:

Book One, Sol System Enforcer Chronicles


Taj was looking forward to his two-year sabbatical from the Sol System Enforcers. At the young age of 62, he was hoping for another 50 years as an Enforcer, but right now, he needed time off. Taj, and his partner Taddy, were planning travel to Festival City in the Asteroid Belt.


But, evil never rests. As Taj prepared for a peaceful retreat, his enemies had a different plan. Someone very powerful wanted Taj dead and wasn't afraid to target his family to prove their point. All Taj knew was that he must present himself in Armstrong City of Luna in a single day, or Taddy would die on the Carousel.

Taj's family all spring into action to rescue Taddy and prevent Taj from sacrificing himself. By Taj's side were Sammy and the Twins, three of the best military class synthetics found in the Sol System and fellow Enforcers ready to fight. Together with Taj's dead father Fencer, who recently transferred his consciousness into the ARK, his mother Dyani and younger brother Jayce they battle time and powerful enemies in order to survive.

Review


The importance of family cannot be overemphasized. Most people can go to any length, even in the face of deadly odds, to protect their families. 
Taj's Sabbatical by Artell Smith and Troy Smith is a sci-fi and suspense thriller that tells the story of dedication to family and sacrifice above everything.

Taj, a 62-year-old enforcer, was enjoying his sabbatical when he got a message that his partner, Taddy, had been captured by Fayzaan, the evil and sadistic Crown Prince, who was hellbent on revenge. His only option was to surrender himself to save Taddy's life. Taj contacted his parents and brother, who swung into action. With the help of other enforcers and very skilled synthetics, they embarked on a dangerous journey to save Taddy and Taj.

I totally enjoyed the book. I particularly loved the fact that it was set in the future, with very amazing technological advancements and innovations. These innovations were at first difficult to grasp, but they were well described, which made them easy to envision. I also loved the bond between the family members and the core values, such as sacrifice and love, shown by the members of the family. Equally noteworthy was the sacrifice, bravery, and grit displayed by the other enforcers and synthetics, which was very heroic and commendable. The terms in the book were well described and explained, making it very easy to understand and enjoy the story. I totally loved the story.

I did not dislike anything about the book. Although I found a few terminologies a little hard to understand, they were adequately explained. There was a beautiful balance between action and emotion, which made the book way more interesting. The author's writing style was very refreshing, with very interesting innovations and technological advancements. I really enjoyed the book.

I rate this book 
five out of five stars for its intriguing and suspense-filled story. The book was expertly edited, and I found no grammatical errors while reading it. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for lovers of sci-fi books with intriguing technological innovations. I also highly recommend this book for individuals looking for a beautiful suspense-filled thriller novel. This book will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. -OnlineBookClub

Intelligence: The Great Lie (The Books of Roy Andersen)

 

Book Cover

Intelligence: The Great Lie

(The Books of Roy Andersen)


A thoroughly researched book, uncovering the greatest conspiracy over the past two centuries that directly affects the opportunities in education and life for you and for your children.

It used to be said intelligence comes though bloodlines. Then, genes were discovered and scientists started to argue how much is decided by inheritance and how much by experience. They are still arguing about this 120 years later. What if this is wrong? In a fascinating book, which took decades of research, the author leads us into the reality of a very great political conspiracy that began 200 years ago and is kept active today through discreet strategies in society and school designed to open or close doors of opportunity according to social standing, skin color, religion or ethnic background, all set to maintaining the status quo.

In one of the most important books of the 21st century, the author reveals why this conspiracy was created and why is it still maintained today. A conspiracy designed to affect your life and the opportunities of your child. Neither Society nor School was ever meant to be fair. Find out why in: “Intelligence: The Great Lie"

“Roy....thank you! I started reading the first bits and was immediately hooked (this does not happen
often. I'm SUPER fussy about books, I've read too many...). -No wonder you have such high applause
from your critics!”

Lydia Cooper. Mother of 3, South Africa.

“The most important book I have ever read about intelligence.”
Prof. Tatyana Oleinik Pedagogical University. Ukraine.

“This book is a must read for every parent and educator in the world. It represents a real breakthrough in our understanding of what intelligence is and how it develops.
Dean Emeritus. Prof. David Martin Ph.D Gallaudet University Washington, D.C. USA

“Roy's books are never dull, not even for a moment. Beautifully written! Roy has written in such a way that anyone can pick up his books and understand where he is coming from and where he is going in his thoughts, that offer profound insight into what is wrong with school, and why we need to change the ways we are preparing our children for the world they will live in.I would recommend that ALL educators read his books, especially “Teacher, Parent, Child,” as they will definitely be refreshed and challenged to re-think their position as teachers in these challenging times."
