BIG RED_ Sureal Science Fiction






From the very first sentence, Damien Larkin hooks the reader.   

The story propels you with mystery and empathy for the narrator. 

Danger you can feel flows through the opening chapters with its back and forth 

from a murky past to a dangerous unknown present. 


The mystery of what happened to the main character, Darrin Loughlin, urges the reader through the next chapters.  

 Big Red is reminiscent of Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War.


If you liked that book, you will totally enjoy Big Red.

Add in a bit of bitter Count of Monte Crisco betrayal, 

a bit of mystical Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles

and you have one movie-worthy adventure.


If you are a student of history, you will recognize the Sci. Fi. Version of Impressment   

which was used from as early as Elizabethan times and was last used during the Napoleonic wars 1803-1815.

All the duplicity, callousness, and manipulation of the military mind 

comes through in the pages of this Sci. Fi. Tale with its own unique twist on space travel within the solar system.

Surprises abound in Big Red, and no plot thread leads where you think it will.  

This is one novel you will re-read with relish, murmuring, 

“We have always been here. 
Always.”
