REVIEWS JoEllen Conger (on 29 July 2008)
Hungarian born Gabriel Timar’s NOVGOROD DIARY is an enchanting tongue-in-cheek tale using adult humor that kept me amused and chuckling from beginning to end. It is definitely the kind of book you’d need on a dismal rainy day to brighten your mood and make you giggle. When the high testosterone womanizer, Lawyer George Pike, suddenly finds himself DEAD, he discovers himself transcending toward the Third Dimension, faced with the dilemma of having to choose his Soul Manager from a list of possibilities. He quickly selects Hades Limited rather than Heaven Inc. where he suspects there might not be a sufficiency of willing ladies. After proving his expertise working in his capacity as lawyer for the big boss, he is dispatched to represent his new client Lola Ricci, who turns out to be an equal partner for his sexual appetite. She fears for her life having in her procession proof of the true tsar Romanov decedent. With a large sum of money secreted away in a San Francisco bank, and a political career just waiting for the right person, there are several factions determined to snatch this proof away from her and do her in, and it is only George’s quick-witted mental gymnastics that keep her, his two assistants, and his fast-talking mouth alive. I highly recommend this adult humored tale for those with an appreciation for ribald wit.

The NOVGOROD DIARY is a piquant, science fiction spoof of the sacred cows of the twenty-first century. It seems someone tries stealing 350 million high quality Russian souls from Hades Limited, by electing the wrong man to the Kremlin. An old diary exists in Novgorod proving Nick Rubowski, a high-ranking KGB officer, the Hades candidate, being the rightful heir to the Russian throne. If this became public, he’d lose the election. Therefore, Luce (Lucifer), the Hades Limited CEO sends George to Earth, to protect the firm’s interests by fixing the Russian elections. The CIA, the KGB, the royalists and the mafia have adverse interests, and George must negotiate. ISBN: 978-1-59705-710-3 To purchase click Wings ePress Find under GENERAL FICTION, Futuristic |
