Cannon Fodder: Operation Horse Whisperer Marilyn Peake Double Dragon Publishing ISBN: DDP002MAPEAKE Fiction, Suspense, Thriller, Science Fiction Reviewed by Eugen M. Bacon

Yet again impressionable cover graphics from Double Dragon Publishing compound fascination for this shortie with a mystery title. Once more here, Marilyn Peake’s writing is refreshingly polished and clean. A pillbox hat the color of blood; a brilliant red sun like a camp fire; snow leopards like shimmering ghosts: splashings of vivid descriptions throughout carry this futuristic tale from chalk-white walls of a military hospital to an ice capped mountain ridge of a Mongolian border. A recuperating soldier has only jumbled memories and a wife’s reassuring hand to hold him. But as Alison Walker marries herself to the foreign concept of a husband with lost memories, a wisp of thread is that which separates imaginings from actuality. Lengthened, this story could develop into an absorbing conspiracy.
