Bandwidth by Eliot Peper

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


He did it again! Eliot Peper is a master of creeping his way into your brain cells with stories that carry a premonition sign of a society galloping into its dystopian future and human entities running wild with seemingly no one to save them.

Having recent events flooding the world media in mind, Bandwidth (An Analog Novel Book 1) comes as another shocking reminder of the realities we live in, both virtual and the real-time ones, and the hidden battles fought for our souls, money and lives.

Bandwidth is a prophecy of a digital feed era which lures us into its techno-thriller net with an immense potential of manipulating everything and everyone. The only way of survival might be in trusting no one and questioning every authority.

Whether or not you fancy that shape of our future or not, read Bandwidth. If not for the story itself than for the author's writing.

I don't hide; I love Peper's style. His Bandwidth opening pages are a carefully handcrafted textbook example of a great writer catching the attention of his reader at an early stage and the promise of an entertaining read for those seeking intellectual and sophisticated writing.

Oh yes, he did it again! High five!

Cumulus by Eliot Peper

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


In his near-future thriller Cumulus, Eliot Peper sets his plot in his hometown Oakland around a passionate and talented young analog photographer, the founder and CEO of a tech giant and a frustrated intelligence agent.

If that doesn’t sound intriguing enough, the fact that Eliot Peper is one of the most talented writers of techno-thrillers today, should rush you to grab this book. Haunting startup stories with political intrigues are his specialty and playground, and Cumulus is yet another confirmation of that. Just a warning before you start reading it: you might get addicted!

Uncommon Stock: Power Play by Eliot Peper

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It’s hard to believe that three years, three months, and twenty-four days have passed since I’ve read the first book of The Uncommon Series. Reviewing Uncommon Stock: Version 1.0 on September 5, 2016 was like it happened yesterday the moment I started reading its sequel Power Play. Mara Winkel and her heartfelt dedication to her idea(l)s and work came to life in my memory already with the first bass beats of Burning Man.

In this instalment, the CEO of Mozaik, the fastest-growing tech startup in Boulder, leads her team in building a software that will uncover financial fraud at a large international bank.

The book one was a fast read but in the book two Uncommon Stock: Power Play Eliot Peper speeds things up even more by pushing Mara to stir the hornet’s nest and sets lose the dark forces of corrupted corporate capitalist world. His writing is again beautifully contagious, educational and informative. His story is full of action and it pulses within your bloodstreams as it quenches your thirst for the first-rate startup thriller. Thankfully, there is one more book to go!

Uncommon Stock: Exit Strategy by Eliot Peper

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


First there was Version 1.0, then Power Play, and now Exit Strategy, as a brilliant ending of gripping and page-turning The Uncommon Series. Uncommon Stock: Exit Strategy is a perfect, mad, violent, loud, crescendo closure of the series I loved from the line one of the page one!

Breathing heavily under the weight of impressions, I am at a loss of words to thank Eliot Peper enough for writing this series and sharing it wish us. All I will say is buy and read Exit Strategy and other two books in the series and brace yourself for hours of pure reading pleasure.

If you need more evidence why I love this series so much, please also check my reviews of Uncommon Stock: Version 1.0 and Uncommon Stock: Power Play.

Thanks, Eliot!
