2 comments about Virtual Wiles.
- Virtual Wiles explores the dangers of becoming a prisoner to a simulated world and the potential technology that may be possible, even in our future. The story is a perfect blend between fantasy and the real world, where the lines between reality and make-believe are blurred.
The journey to this virtual world is an escape or vacation for some, while others use it to live out the life they never could have. Virtual Wiles follows Morgan Asher on a mission that leads him to a far off place, and has him questioning what is real--and what is simulated. At times I found myself doubting what was real and what was simulated--as if lost in a simulated world myself. And the only way to get out was to read on and follow Morgan through it.
The detailed description of the surroundings and the characters allowed me to see them as if I was there. When I thought I knew what was coming next, I was blind-sided by the tale. Romance also finds its way into the picture as the plot gets more detailed--and makes things more complicated along the way. The future of two worlds will be forever changed.
The story comes alive with perfect pacing, and the scenes leave a lasting imprint. There is plenty of depth to the characters and I instantly became attached to them. The book is extremely well written and the plot well thought-out. Ingham has created a magnificent journey that left me fulfilled at the end--but still wanting more. The only question left--when is the sequel coming?
Fantastic book! I absolutely recommend it for all ages! Five Stars!
- Virtual Wiles by Martin T. Ingham
Reviewed by Stephanie Johnson
Virtual Wiles by Martin T. Ingham is not your average science fiction or fantasy novel. It is the digital age meets the middle ages. In Virtual Wiles, the hero Morgan Asher (or rather his mind) is transported into a virtual reality realm reminiscent of the era of King Arthur or Robin Hood. Inside the virtual reality program, Morgan Asher meets several interesting characters including Rheena, who is not at all who she seems to be. Together the two must battle against an order of Mages (wizards) who not only control magic, but also the very technology that operates the simulated world itself.
Morgan discovers that, due to his high entry test scores, he is immune to the magic wielded by the Mages and can alter the simulated world to his will. Because of this the Mages want to "deboot" him so he cannot make changes to the program. But soon, Morgan and Rheena discover that the Mages have many secrets of their own. The two then enlist the help of the Nekrons (a simulated race) to battle the Circle of Mages.
Martin T. Ingham does a wonderful job of pulling the reader into the story and his many plot twists will keep you guessing right up until the end. This is one of the most imaginative books I have read in a long time. With technology, magic, swordfights, shootouts, adventure of all kinds, and even a touch of love and theology, Virtual Wiles is a great read for any sci-fi or fantasy fan.

1 comments about Indian Mounds of the Atlantic Coast: A Guide to Sites from Maine to Florida (Guides to the American Landscape).
- This book is a great guide to finding publicly accessible Indian mound sites in the Atlantic Coast states. This is the first of 5 guides (they've only done one other which was recently been revised and expanded). Be nice if this one is revised as well. Another book on on Indian Mound sites in Florida list a lot of sites this one doesn't. However, this book has a good introductory section on ancient native american cultures, something hard to find.

1 comments about North Woods Walkabout.
- A profound and wonderful book about life and the north woods of Maine. Nan Turner Waldron writes with the ease of one who has spent childhood summers on a farm in the north woods of Maine and these summers are what sparked her passionate and active works as a conservationist, naturalist, birdwatcher and nature photographer. It is a brave and courageous account of one womans journey to herself. This book is a must read! Another must read is Ms. Waldron's Journey To The Outermost House also on Amazon!
