Live music, touring, adventure and mischief.
Soundman extraordinaire CJ Singleton has turned the music world on its head with his audiovisual effects. Throwing caution to the wind, he continues to cross the portals of time, dazzling the concertgoers with his shocking discoveries. That’s not going over so well with the phantoms. Accused of waging war with the spirit world, CJ is yanked from his environment and challenged with a paranormal stand off. CJ’s human pals are starting to demand some answers and it’s time to explain his bizarre behavior, but people with questions will have to get in line. Some terrifying phantoms have first dibs on CJ, and it’s not to commend him. They want the devices he uses to power the stage spectacles. Now that word is out in the spirit world, CJ’s life hangs in the balance with every move he makes. It’s getting tough for CJ to decipher who’s human, and who’s not.

Black Coffee by Dirk Kennedy
In the world of sci-fi there are two things: Genius and crap.
EKKO is the former, and so much more. Instead of been there done that interplanetary wars, monsters and aliens, we get the most original idea to come along in eons. Johnny Walker has come up with a premise so original, it challenges all you have ever understood about music, dimension and physics. A world that exists within our own yet hidden from all of us. That is until we meet C.J. The man who discovers it all. EKKO is so methodically mapped out in terms of characters, plot and scene. I went back for a second read to see what nuances I might have overlooked, and man are there nuances! We also get the first new original technology in perhaps ever! The Hayson is one of those things that will eventually become a part of our vernacular, like Death Star or the transporter. Finally a maverick has come to blow the dust off of what sci-fi has become over the last two decades, cliché and boring. There is not one borrowed idea, not one similar character, Nor one familiar theme. This is original from the ground up. Mr. Walker seems to have channeled something from the next dimension and will have you bringing a flashlight to bed to make sure you are alone.
Powerfully original and breathtakingly fascinating!

Johnny Walker has written a fun novel in an episodic style similar to that of Patricia Highsmith. The narrative is linear following the adventures of roguish protagonist CJ and his encounters with the supernatural. The story has the cliffhanger feeling of an old television serial with a modern approach to the subject matter. This is a great start to a series which should prove to be very entertaining. An accessible novel for readers who enjoy Orson Scott Card, Anne Rice and Christopher Moore. This novel is perfect for people who enjoy reading for fun.
