The second volume in Derek E Pearson's Sci-Fi adventures of Milla Carter
Following the destruction of the Body Holiday Foundation, the extraordinary life story of telepath Milla Carter continues in Derek E Pearson's Soul's Asylum trilogy. Now, the adventures conclude in this volume.

Lethal is rarely this lovelySensuous 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. SURREY LIFE: 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.
The young couples holiday to die for, Milla Carters and Franklyns, 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.SURREY LIFE : 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 thats 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?SURREY LIFE : 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.

His alternate worlds may throw you for an entertaining loop.Rebbie Reviews: will horrify you with some really gritty and gory events I love the imagery and the pace.
