Reviews

Two Lips Reviews says: <br /><br />Packed with prophesy, pain and passion; with love, devastation and renewal, Gemini Rising is the memorable introduction to what promises to be an epic intergalactic/interdimensional series that will rock sci-fi readers to the core. This first book is set in the near future in the United Socialist States. America is plagued with many of the consequences that today's conservatives believe we will face if our government continues down its current liberal path. Yet, as frightening as this future world becomes, it didn't once occur to me to put this book down. Simply put, it's one of the most amazing, yet unsettling books I've ever read. For Ms. Carroll, it's a crowning achievement, so masterfully written it can do nothing but win every award for which it's certain to be nominated.
