Crucible of Fear

 What a fantastic thriller!


Summary

A man's life in chaos. His young daughter at risk. What is a pound of a flesh worth?

Dante Ellis is a successful advertising executive on the rise. His world is plunged
into a huge nightmare after he's targeted by ruthless hackers known only as
dark Messiah.

Dante soon discovered no part of his life too scared to be used against him, no 
secret buried too deep. What began as a veiled threat soon descends into a
desperate conflict against the will of an unseen enemy.





My Review


Nothing scares more than a hacker who wants to take over your computer systems.
It brought the suspense in this fantastic thriller.

I really was keen to know what would happen next and I read the story to the end.
The characters were well developed and the story kept me busy.

So I want to recommend this book to lovers of suspense and thrillers. I give this
splendid fantastic thriller a 5 star rating on 5.

D.W. Withlock, author of Crucible of Fear, has been a storyteller for most of his
life. Starting with short stories scribbled in crayon, animation flip-books, stop-
motion and later CG animation for television and video games. While pursuing
a career in animation, writing has always been the first step, from short descriptions 
to detailed backstories. as a life-long reader and book lover, crafting thriller novels
felt like the natural evolution of those first forays into writing.

Bookreview: Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green

 A very happy colourful children's book with a fantastic lesson


Summary

Little Bit & Big Byte are back for another fun adventure in the sequel of the
popular Day at the beach. It's " Save the Environment" Week at school and
the adorable "Chips off the old block" are excited to do their part to help
conserve energy and recycle.

Little Bit shares how we all can save water by brushing efficiently. Joy the
sister, sleeps more soundly with a night light. Big Byte has a tendency to use
all of his electronics at the same time and realizes how effective unplugging
can be.

Even the Dad can do his part to ease traffic congestion by taking public
transportation to work. While taking their recycling to the curb, their long-time
enemies kick over the recycling bins and spew garbage all over the street. In 
addition their pesky pointer jumps into the Recycle Truck and gets whisked
away to the Recycling Centre. Little Bit & Big Byte rush to save the day for
their beloved canine. They also learn the complexities and necessity of 
recycling our paper, plastic and aluminum cans. 

Enjoy the colourful illustrations and be amused by finding the "hidden object"
in each picture. Smile at the "story within a story" as the lovable caterpillar
steals each scene with his youthful antics. Learn a valuable life lesson
as Author Craig Feigh, perfectly illustrates the need for all of us "Go Green". 


My review

What a very happy colourful children's book with a fantastic lesson
(even for me)!

When I started reading Little Bit & Big Byte, Go Green, the colourful cover 
intrigued me very much.

There was a lot of interesting text for a children's book and it transferred
me to the world of the main character(s). They were deepened
out very well! 

I liked the wonderful explanation of the "Go Green" topic. The search
inside Little Bit & Big Byte also was amazing. The last page was a
colour plate which  children would love!

I recommend this happy, colourful book with a great fantastic
lesson to children and their parents as well. It's excellent lecture to
start reading and to read to your little ones. 

Of course, I give with lots of pleasure a 5 star rating.
