Author: Mitch Sebourn
Plot: After a year of bad luck, having lost her job and her
family, Audrey Cole is hoping for a break. She wants to take her music career
to the next level, and she believes she's finally written the song that will
make it happen. It's called "Flying Saucer," and it's an irresistible
pop metaphor for all that life can throw at you. After a terrific New Year's
Eve performance on Las Vegas Boulevard, Audrey can sense that her present
course is finally starting to turn. But then her song, which she's never
recorded, is played on the radio. It's online. It's everywhere, and somehow, it
really is her performing it. And this oddity is only part of the mysterious web
in which Audrey has somehow become entangled. Someone is following her. Someone
is spying on the ones she loves the most. And a shocking tragedy that Audrey
will do anything to undo is well on its way.
My Review and Thoughts:
This is an interesting, slow-burn, mysterious complex story
with rich detail and transparent qualities that leave the reader guessing,
thanking, contemplating on just what is going on. Priceless characters
developed and thought out in great detail. A heavy dose of mystery. Pages
flooded with unanswered questions as you dig deep into the plot to see just
what is going on or what is going to transpire next. The high detail of mystery
spins you along a corridor of scenarios that are fleshed out by Mitch. Sebourn
clearly knows how to tell a story that raptures the readers senses. He never lets
up with the thick mystery that is unfolding page after page.
There is a deep underlying emotional connection for the
reader while relating to your main characters. Not only is the mystery relevant,
but it's the human stories that become the focus of clarity. It's so cliché to
say you become the characters. but in all honesty these characters are you and
me. As you adventure into this tale of mystery, that human concept really
bleeds off the pages into a spiraling heart, that beats within you.
The story demands an audience. It demands for the page to be
turned. You the reader must know. Mitch gives you a dreamscape like an
unfinished jigsaw puzzle. Each piece is a little more of the tale. The plot
vanishes as your mind decodes the mystery and solves the riddle. Flying Saucer
is a brilliant tale of humanity and all its hidden, mysterious realities.
I've always been fascinated by the unknown. Intrigued by the
aspect of UFOs and aliens. I'm an X-Files kid. I grew up with the X-Files and
so it's always fascinated me. Do I believe? I want to believe. There's a
possibility, and this story that Mitch has created is believable. It's a great
story to contemplate. Mitch makes it feel real. He makes it feel personal. In
simple terms this is a wonderful read of imaginative qualities that seem and
feel real in all its storytelling glory.
Would I Return to Again: Absolutely? I loved the story and
somewhere down the lane of time I see myself reading this again. It’s something
that sticks with you.
Would I Recommend: Absolutely. A great book to explore. A
wonderful imaginative tale of pure mystery and dynamic characters.
My Rating: 4 out of 5
Four Final Words: Mysteriously brilliant. Emotionally
complex.
