Product Description

Almost 20 years after the events chronicled in the Shadowfast Supercar Driver Logs, former road warrior and outlaw Jerry Staute is busy shepherding a secret project hidden within a larger industrial contract in Boston Massachusetts, when he one day finds himself the victim of a most unusual mugging. His assailants manage to do something extraordinary to his mind, which leaves him virtually deranged for some days afterwards. Once he regains his senses, he realizes he now possesses fresh new memories of strange events which supposedly occurred years before, during his college days. Events that he is certain never took place. And yet now, he recalls them as if they did!

Concerned for his sanity-- as well as baffled by who would want to do this to him and why-- Staute soon realizes his only clues to the mystery may be within the false memories themselves. And so he begins to examine them from the beginning.

What he discovers there turns out to be a mind-boggling adventure of literally historic proportions; mind-bending people and events, which become only more fantastic the deeper he goes-- while at the same time becoming ever more believable as well. To the point that Staute begins to both hope-- and fear-- that these were real experiences on his part; experiences that he somehow had been forced to forget, until now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, now I have to read Book Two, July 2, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Shock to the System (The Chance of a Realtime) (Kindle Edition)
I would like to start off this review by advising readers that I received A Shock to the System (The Chance of a Realtime), the Kindle version, for free from the author. However, I do not personally know Mr. Mooneyham, nor do I feel obligated to base my review on the fact that the book was free.

I liked this book. I would have liked it even more had I realized that it is part of a series following a character that had been written about in several previous books. When I first started reading this book I was fairly confused about what exactly was going on, events made little sense. I'm pretty sure this is because of my unfamiliarity with what took place in previous books. Had I read the previous books I no doubt would have had no trouble understanding events from page one. However, the story that actually takes place in this book started to take form and I found myself really enjoying the story.

As for the ending, things were left up in the air, the story is continued in Meeting of the Minds (The Chance of a Realtime). Again, I was not aware when I started reading this book that it was in two parts, of which this was only the first part. I was somewhat disappointed to discover that the conclusion to this story was in a different book.

I'm giving this book four stars because I really enjoyed reading it. I would likely give it an even better rating if I were to go back and read the previous books, as well as finish this story by reading the second part. Please note, though, that my problems with this book are not the fault of the author. I should have read the product description better, it indicates that this book follows a previous series, and had I looked closer at the cover I would have seen that it clearly says "Book One".

So read the previous books, then read this one and then book two. You won't be disappointed. Heck, even if you read only this one you will still most certainly be entertained, just don't expect a conclusion.
