Shimmering
waves rose in my vision, like heat off a California blacktop. It wasn't
heat that caused the waver. The air was not wavering: reality was.
Well, not reality, just my place in it. It happened again.
The
street morphed. Reality twisted before my eyes. First a flower shop,
then a bookstore, a pet store, office space, warehouses? Now back
to storefronts but with a difference. The matrix took me far afield.
In front of me was Dan and Dave's All Night Trauma Stand and Cut Rate
Surgery. I hoped this reality was not one of the long-lasting ones.
I'm
afraid it was. The Trauma Stand did not waver, but I did: nausea,
headache. The ground reached up and grabbed me, pulling me face first
into the pavement: not a good beginning. Darkness.
Here is some shameless pandering - but we
swear it's all true!
"Raymond M Coulombe's debut novel, Transdimensional Blues,
firmly establishes him as an emerging power in the Sci-Fi genre. Written
with a skill seldom seen in a first novel, it is a captivating read.
Well defined characters, vivid prose, and clear, believable dialogue
draw us into the narrative, and never let us go.
"In a field where imitation is the norm, Coulombe manages
to avoid the pitfalls of stereotypical characters, techno-babble and
tired plot devices. Dimensional travel hasn't been this much fun since
Roger Zelazny's Amber series.
"Keep an eye on Raymond M Coulombe. You'll see quality work
for a long time to come. For now, pick up a copy of Transdimensional
Blues and get ready for a wild ride." - Michael Gallant,
editor of Quantum Muse
