Psycho Psyche (The Cloud Brothers Short Stories #7) Reviews
-
The professor’s latest adventure has him battling a doomsday weapon, terrorists and body hijackers. It’s a sinister, suspenseful story with a few unnerving gadget ideas that are a little too close to reality for comfort. Not many laughs in this story from James Field. It’s definitely an outing where he shows he’s equally capable of delivering a dark science fiction tale as he is a funny one. It’ll make you think twice about answering your phone the next time you get a call from an unlisted number. Get ready for some electric writing that’ll blow your cranial capacitors.

James Field’s Psycho Psyche is a short story that would go great as a comic artist’s story. What I mean is, as I read it I thought of the nefarious bad guy type and the protagonist, who match wits. One is sinister, while the other trying to figure out what is going on. I could envision this in a Spider-man comic. So okay, the talking parts are stiff and clichéd, but still fun. It was a flowing fast read and I finished it quickly in just one setting. The end left enough of a question so you wonder if the story will continue, leaving the door wide opened for lots of future adventures.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my review, and I rate it as four stars. -
I found myself smiling on the first page, which is always a good sign. I enjoyed the almost campy dialogue and descriptions of the two main characters, and I was drawn into the story from the first word.
I started to get a little antsy after a couple of pages, but I should have been more patient -- when the Big Moment comes, it's a roller coaster ride to the finish.
Oh, and the twist! I love a good twist.
Well done, "my good man." ;) -
Not my favourite of the series, but a nice read all the same.

A psyche gains control of a deadly weapon and tries to sell it to a terrorist.
A good short story with a reasonable twist at the end.
