ZEEKA CHRONICLES.

Readers, which would you prefer? The box set series for $6.00 or the book with all five stories for $4.99.
It is your choice.

Read the five-star review from Readers Favorite.

Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka by Brenda Mohammed opens with Zeeka and the Zombies. On the island of Gosh in January 2036, Raynor Sharpe is woken by rattling to find a beach full of small robots.
Is he still dreaming?
Raynor is a hospital doctor and so is the woman he secretly loves, but Janet is engaged to another man.
Gosh’s carnival is turned from an exotic native spectacle to tragedy by a troop of entertainers: zombies who shoot into the audience, killing and injuring hundreds.
How can these monsters disintegrate into a heap of dust?
Why is one false head found? Who is Zeeka, and does he control the zombies?
Why does Janet cancel her wedding?
Can the Chief of Police be trusted, or is he as corrupt as others in the force?
Read on: Zeeka's Child; Zeeka Returns, Zeeka's Ghost, and Resurrection hold the un-guessable answers.
Zeeka Chronicles comprises five books from the Revenge of Zeeka series in which 2036 is shown as a technically advanced world by gadgets like watches that act much like today’s smartphones, plus visual contact, robots, and much more.
The story is built on the premise that a doctor discovers a cure for a disease but is prevented from using it.
However, the plot becomes more entangled the farther you read, with police corruption, suicide, kidnapping, and a very active ghost.
Brenda Mohammed’s writing style is evocative of the future and she handles the science in her fiction brilliantly: reading is believing!
I loved Zeeka Chronicles; it has worldwide appeal for anyone looking for an entertaining story that is different.

REVIEW

A questionable character returns from one of the previous books to cause even more disarray in the lives of the people and robots of Gosh. Dr. Steven Sharpe's reputation is put on the line when he attempts an unimaginable cure to help a man desperate for a new life. Resurrection is the fifth book and closes (maybe!) the Zeeka series on a high note. Like its predecessors, I found this book easy to read. However, this one, in particular, left me with a sense of fulfillment because the author finally seemed to put Zeeka to rest peacefully.

REVIEW

A thrilling story showing the tight connection between Zeeka and his adopted son, Stephen
Format: Paperback
In this fourth story of the Zeeka series, Zeeka's ghost returns to warn Stephen about an impending threat to his life.
Not only does the ghost warn Stephen, but he actually helps Stephen defend himself from the bad guys who try to kill him
because they are unsatisfied with the money they received as compensation for the loss of their loved ones during Zeeka's rampage
in his lifetime.

The author puts a remarkable twist in the story when she turns Zeeka into the good guy who is now showing concern for the welfare of his illegally adopted child.
Zeeka is actually trying to atone for his sins and to get a peaceful burial after he committed suicide in prison.

At this point, Stephen and his wife, Mandy, are happily married and living on the lsland on Gosh appears normal.
Stephen is successful in his medical career and does some outstanding work on Alzhaimer's disease.
He discovers a cure and is honored with a prestigious prize. Mandy works as a nurse at the sane hospital as her husband and they have a comfortable life.

In the midst of his happiness, Stephen is tormented by the appearance of Zeeka's ghost.
However, the ghost turns out to be useful when Mandy
is captured by the evil guys and Stephen goes to rescue her by himself.
It is at this point that the bad guys are remarkably struck down by Zeeka, who is visible only to Stephen. Stephen is then able to take away his wife.

This clever turn of events in the plot keeps the reader engaged in this exciting story as he or she reads to find out what will happen next.
Once one starts to read the book, it is difficult to stop. It is interesting and suspenseful and holds the readers' interest.
It takes place in an idealistic, futuristic world where life turns out well for those who are honest and hard-working.
Problems are quickly resolved and good triumphs over evil in the end.

All in all, this story is a wonderful addition to the Zeeka trilogy by the same author.
The work is clearly constructed and the prose is easy to read, as characteristic of the author's style. Congratulations to the author for another well-done piece!

In Their Own Words: a Guest post by Ann Richardson

I would like to tell you about my books. I write books where people talk about some important aspect of their lives in their own words.
They feel a bit like a written version of a TV documentary.
I start with 25-30 interviews, which are conversational in style and allow the people interviewed to talk as long as they like on a subject and add issues of their own.
These are recorded and fully transcribed.
Because the subject matter is always something of significance to them, those interviewed invariably have interesting things to say – and often say them with great flair.
It makes reading each book feel like you are talking to a friend who is explaining something important to them in an honest and intimate way.
The first book was originally published by HarperCollins in 1992 but re-launched this year.

Wise Before their Time is about mostly young people living with AIDS/HIV when it was a life-threatening disease.
They talk about coping with the difficulties involved, such as the stigma associated with HIV at the time or telling their parents and friends. They also talk about what they have learned, knowing that their lives will be short.
Sir Ian McKellen wrote a Foreword in which he said: “these true stories are as powerful as any great classic of fiction”.
The book is available on Amazon and Books2 Read.

Life in a Hospice is the second. It is about what it is like to work in end-of-life care in various capacities, such as a nurse, doctor, chaplain or even a cook.
Life in a Hospice was published by Radcliffe Books in 2007 and re-launched in 2017.
It was Highly Commended by the British Medical Association and has a Foreword by the late Tony Benn, MP.
Those interviewed talk about why they love being involved with people at this important time, some challenges experienced and how this work affects their lives.
The Book is available on Amazon and Books2Read.

The third book is about what it is like to be a grandmother.
Celebrating Grandmothers covers the joys and challenges of this role.
Women talk about the pleasures of experiencing children again in later life, some of the conflicts that can arise within families and much more. It was independently published in 2014.
The Book is available on Amazon and Books2Read.

To help potential readers to see whether they would like to read these books, I have created a short ‘taster’ book, with a very brief introduction and two pages from three or so chapters from each book. You can download this for free from MY WEBSITE.

Revenge of Zeeka [5 Book Series] Zeeka's Child Book 2

Zeeka's Child Revenge of Zeeka Book 2

The second episode in the science fiction series Zeeka Chronicles evolves into a more complicated plot.
Zeeka's Child: Revenge of Zeeka Book 2 is the second book in the mind-blowing Science Fiction series, Zeeka Chronicles.
Enter Detectives Jack Wildy and Jerry Cole. Can they deal with serious criminal issues like kidnapping, threatened suicide, killer zombies, and arson?
Because that is the evil that they are faced with.
Who would want to kidnap Janet, and why?
Will the authorities uncover major corruption in the Police Force?"
Who will reveal Zeeka's secrets and identity, and why?
Who is the mystery Master Zeeka, and who is Zeeka's child?
Extract of Review:
"I read this book in one sitting since it’s difficult to put down once one starts to read it. The story itself is quite complex for such a short book. There are not many authors who can say so much without wasting a single word. Brenda Mohammed excels in this respect."

That's it for this week.

Next week I will update you on Book 3 Zeeka Returns.
