How can a character so forgetful be so memorable?
I can't give every character I read a two-page layout in the Review, but I could for John Walker's man of many thoughts, Jack Parrish. If you want that gentle punch in the gut from the get-go, only to still feel it (like the great burn you get from a strong and furious work-out) at the end, I highly recommend this story. Despite the presence and talk of amnesia, Jack is a very controlled character in a very smooth setting in a very stylish story. The amphitheater of Jack's brain is full of memories that give us all great recall. And length here is no matter. I started and was a third into it before I realized I still had my own life to live. This story escalates perfectly and rings a bell with anyone who can't remember shit! And if Jack knocks on your door and asks for your help, just say yes.
Look for John Walker on Amazon or on his website:

This review is of 'Wrath and Remembrance,' but this fine
author has many a great book to be held by your hands.
An ample and succulent dictation on writing. Ramblings, treks, discovery, desires. Of why I am William Shakespeare's Archenemy.
