One of Two
by S.R. Cronin

GENRE: Sci-fi Fantasy

BLURB:
Telepathy
creates as many problems as it solves, as everyone in the secret organization
x0 would admit. When new member Lola discovers another group of telepaths with
a totally different approach, those problems multiply at the speed of thought.
Soon, Lola’s family and
friends are in danger. Lucky for her, she’s not your average budding psychic.
Each person she is close to has a special gift of their own. That’s good,
because it’s going to take every power they possess to stop these others from
tearing apart x0.

EXCERPT
Maurice woke up in the trunk of a car. He’d always been a
positive sort of guy, so he made himself focus on what was good about the
situation. Well, it was a large trunk. It was probably a luxury car. Could have
been worse. And, he was the only person in it. Plenty of space and no
unpleasant dead bodies lying next to him. He’d seen this sort of thing in
movies, and no dead bodies was always good.
His hands were bound loosely behind his back, but he could
wiggle his legs around for comfort and there was no duct tape over his mouth,
so breathing was easier. Better yet, it felt like he’d been drugged, presumably
in his sleep. The lingering effects were effusing him with such a nice sense of
serenity.
On the down side, the wall that x0 was holding around him
was as impermeable as ever. And he was in the trunk of a car. That was
definitely a minus. He drifted back to sleep.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
She published
her first science fiction short story and then waited a lot of tables while she
looked for inspiration for the next tale. When it finally came, it declared to
her it had to be a whole book, nothing less. One night, while digesting this
disturbing piece of news, she drank way too many shots of ouzo with her
boyfriend. She woke up thirty-one years later demanding to know what was going
on.
The boyfriend,
who she had apparently long since married, asked her to calm down. He explained
that, in a fit of practicality, she had gone back to school and gotten a degree
in geophysics and had spent the last 28 years interpreting seismic data in the
oil industry. The good news, according to Mr. Cronin, was she found it at least
mildly entertaining and ridiculously well-paying. The bad news was the two of
them had still managed to spend almost all of the money.
Apparently she
was now Mrs. Cronin, and the further good news was they had produced three
wonderful children whom they loved dearly, even though to be honest that is
where a lot of the money had gone. Even better news was that Mr. Cronin turned
out to be a warm-hearted, encouraging sort who was happy to see her awake and
ready to write. "It's about time," were his exact words.
Sherrie Cronin
discovered that over the ensuing decades Sally Ride had already managed to
become the first woman in space and done a fine job of it. No one, however, had
written the book that had been in Sherrie's head for decades. The only problem
was the book informed her it had grown into a six book collection. Sherrie
decided she better start writing before it got any longer. She's been wide
awake ever since, and writing away.

My Review
One of Two is the sixth installment from S R Cronin’s series, 46. Ascending. I have not read the other books in the series and I believe this can be read as a stand alone. Though I would love to read the previous books to see what had happened in them. This is not my normal go to genre but am so glad I gave it a chance. I thought it was pretty good.
I give One of Two four stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy to read science fiction.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
