Reviews
“This thrilling story takes us to an alternate world in the future after the Great Disaster on Earth. We meet NightRacer, a former Earth cadet who’s on a mission to find his daughter. As the story takes shape, only bits and pieces are revealed on what really transpired before the Earth was nuked. It’s like picking up the pieces of the puzzle from every chapter and trying to make sense of them as more secrets are revealed. The narrative style effectively shows NightRacer’s inner struggles as parts of his chemically-erased memories come flooding back in. It captures the seemingly uncontrollable fear and the sometimes overwhelming confusion that further complicates the situation he is in.

“It’s easy to be emotionally invested in NightRacer because he’s a well-drawn out character with an unclear past and an uncertain future. Though he may not be a complex character from the get go, the element of not knowing parts of his life make him a bit more complicated. His interaction with other characters is superbly written that it does not give away (at least not straight away) who’s on his side and who’s not. Then the plot twist hits you hard and you’d willingly suspend your disbelief just because you realize how clever it is.

“The author masterfully creates a world and populates it with compelling characters that you become deeply attached and start to actually care about how the story would unravel. With a clever plot and fluid writing style, NightRacer is an absolutely thrilling sci-fi read.”

Review by Cat Jones
“I’ve been a science fiction fan since I was old enough to watch Star Trek so I’m always happy to come across a promising new author (or at least new to me) in the genre. Dinu Paladi’s sci-fi fantasy “NightRacer” takes you to a futuristic world of spore blizzards and Devil’s Grass and touched towns full of soulless addicts dreaming of strawberry fields.  The story starts out following sixty year old Colonel NightRacer AWOL from base and resigning his position as Chief of New Arizona’s Security as he embarks on a search for his daughter, Hellen. After the Great Verdict he had his memory chemically erased, but as the story unfolds he decides to recover what he’s forgotten. What he comes to learn is that life as he’s known it is an illusion, and what he discovers will change his world.

“This is a story that draws you in gently before quickly picking up speed. With an unlikely protagonist and a slowly unfolding world, its hook is subtle but strong. Dinu Paladi’s world building is brilliant in its bleakness, and the descriptive style of writing brings it all to live without going overboard with the detail. It’s a story I found impossible to set aside once I started reading, and the unpredictable plot makes it impossible to guess what might happen next.  NightRacer is a constantly evolving character as well, and his journey is a sort of rebirth that was fascinating to follow.

“Overall I found it to be an all-around excellent sci-fi story that’s as much personal journey as it is fantastic sci-fi adventure.”
