Body Holiday - A Time To Prey: The Adventures of Milla Carter Kindle Edition

3.7 out of 5 stars 3 ratings

TV Presenter JULIETTE FOSTER: "Pearson’s galactic-sized imagination delivers a compelling image of a chic, high-tech society infused with a toxic strain that feeds on extreme violence. It’s a disturbingly twisted vision of the future and Pearson’s tough, unflinching narrative almost dares the reader to look away from the monstrousness. Don’t, because Milla Carter, his feisty, sexy heroine, is the weapon of retribution.

A Time To Prey is a gripping read that boldly and intelligently explores the vision of an ugly, amoral future in which goodness must fight for survival. In this dystopian nightmare, privacy is non-existent, life is cheap, killers have fan clubs, while the only individuals who count for something are those with money. Milla’s crusade has a biblical quality in which she is elevated as a force of hope against the corporate anti-Christ of the Body Holiday Foundation. Good will survive, but at what cost?

For anyone offended by swearing, violence and explicit sex then A Time To Prey won’t be an easy read. Yet it’s worth remembering that nothing about the content is gratuitous. Pearson is simply encouraging us to think about the type of future we could end up getting. The blunt ‘in your face’ tone of the narrative may be crude, but it works."

Lethal is rarely this lovely

Sensuous telepath Milla Carter knows that a business which generates dollars from selling extreme pornography and murder as ‘quality entertainment’, won’t roll over easily. She’ll have to use her lightening quickness and enhanced senses like never before if she’s to outwit and annihilate both the Body Holiday Foundation and its hired assassin. For the sleekly-beautiful Su-Nami, part human/part machine, killing is a game and the spoils an edible feast.

Product description

Review

TV Presenter JULIETTE FOSTER: boldly and intelligently explores the vision of an ugly, amoral future... that of a chic, high-tech society infused with a toxic strain that feeds on extreme violence. A gripping read. Visionary with veiled gallows humour. Pearson's galactic-sized imagination delivers a compelling image of a chic, high-tech society infused with a toxic strain that feeds on extreme violence.

THE BOAR Warwick University: a world that's so emotionless, unforgiving and voyeuristic... where extreme pornography shocks nobody... when you reach the final page, you will want to start it all again

About the Author

Foreword Indies BOOK AWARD Finalist: 2018 GODS' Warrior (Fantasy) 2017 GODS' Fool (Fantasy) 2016 GODS' Enemy (Fantasy) 2016 Star Weaver (Science Fiction) Derek E Pearson is a UK-based author and illustrator with more than a dozen published novels in the sci-fi and fantasy genres. Since gaining his bachelor's degree from Norwich School of Art in the late 1970s, Pearson has mainly worked as a children's book illustrator, including titles such as Tulsi the Tiger. Since the late 1980s, Pearson has also worked in publishing and journalism, specialising in the dental industry with his online magazine Dental Review. Celluloid Peach, Pearson's latest novel, is a grand, romantic and adventuresome departure from his usual writings, but brings with it the dark twist familiar to fans of fantasy and sci-fi. Pearson says, "When someone dies it has to matter. You have to believe a life has been lost. An author learns to love the people he lives with in his mind. They become real."

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Derek E Pearson lives on the London/Surrey borders where he spends most of his time at his keyboard imagineering new worlds or twisting existing worlds through the dark prism he uses instead of a brain.

His prolific work has been widely reviewed by prestigious media including Surrey Life and The Sun newspaper which rated his novel 'Soul's Asylum' with four stars for its 'originality and top writing'. Two of his novels, 'Soul's Asylum: Star Weaver' and 'GODS' Enemy' were finalists for Book of the Year in Chicago's IndieFab Awards in the science fiction and fantasy catagory.

To date Pearson has completed two science fiction trilogies for his Miller Carter character, the 'Body Holiday' series and the 'Soul's Asylum' novels. Carter is a sexy, feisty telepath at odds with the worst a dystopian future can throw at her.

He has also launched his Preacher Spindrift series with 'GODS' Enemy' and 'GODS' Fool'. He is currently working on 'GODS' Warrior', the third and perhaps last book in the series.

Spindrift is a fallen angel with attitude, an angel who was one of those 'husbands' who long-ago impregnated Earth's most evolved apes with alien seed from which we evolved, the Eden born. His adventures take him and his companions from 1883 Texas to the Flanders trenches of 1917. Warrior takes him to an ancient Chinese city, Lijiang, in 1918. He fights the Sha-aneer, a beast that pre-dates all other life on Earth, and devours the Eden born, body and soul.

Pearson's other works include 'Slave Skin' a standalone science fiction/fantasy story that the author describes as 'Narnia for adults' and boasts the line, 'Do all your right-angles turn left?'

'The Gathering of Gods: Anubis' is the first of the incredible Detective Prentiss series, set in present day New York. Supercharged and layered with myth and dark magic the Prentiss series introduces a new type of heroine to the fantasy genre. Black, beautiful and six-foot tall, Prentiss confronts the impossible information that ancient Egyptian gods have come to her city to judge wrongdoers and punish them in terrible ways. She also visits the city at the end of the world, eight billion years in the future.

'The Stone Gospel' is a ghost story set in a cathedral town in Sussex. The local planners have allowed a bypass to bisect an ancient ley line. Bad mistake, we look at what happens in modern Sussex and what befell a group of Romans who made the same mistake in 43AD. The Stone Gospel will be released very soon in 2018.

Finally, 'Pink Biscuit Zoo' is a charming illustrated tale for children about what happens when a little girl and her 'grandy' set out to make biscuits... of course it all ends in tears.

    What an ending to this story! I loved the villain and enjoyed Milla’s revenge even more :) This series really takes you out of reality and I enjoyed it immensely. You get attached to each character - thank you so much, Derek!
