Wonderful review of "The Orchestrators" from A. Nolka of ReadMyBook Book reviews:


"This is a captivating and thought-provoking science fiction novel that immerses readers in a post-apocalyptic world where the remnants of humanity grapple with the weight of their past. Divided into two distinct parts, the book offers a rich narrative that explores themes of memory, identity, and resilience in the face of adversity.

In Part 1, titled "Worlds, Old and New," we are introduced to Henry Shannon, a physician navigating a colony where memories of the past are suppressed by enigmatic forces known as the "dumbers." The author masterfully builds intrigue as Henry begins to reclaim his lost memories, embarking on a quest for truth alongside Angus Thomas, a fellow colonist who shares his struggle. This section sets the stage for a gripping exploration of the human spirit's capacity for survival and understanding.

Part 2, "Down to Earth," shifts the focus to the colonists' confrontation with their history and the challenges of forging a new future. Author's vivid descriptions & well-developed characters create a compelling reading experience, as the narrative delves into the complexities of adaptation & discovery. The introduction of elements like telepathy & genetic engineering adds depth to the story, prompting readers to reflect on the ethical implications of such advancements.

Author's writing is engaging & richly descriptive, effectively contrasting the Old World with the New World. The pacing is well-balanced, interspersing moments of tension with introspection, ensuring that readers remain invested throughout. The climax brings together the various narrative threads, culminating in a powerful confrontation that leaves a lasting impact.

Overall, this is a remarkable read that challenges us to consider the fragility of civilization and the significance of memory in shaping our identities. Author's ability to weave profound philosophical questions into a gripping science fiction narrative makes this novel a standout in the genre.

It is a must-read for anyone interested in speculative fiction that thoughtfully examines the complexities of human existence."
