Vardan Partamyan (vardanpartamyan) | 109 comments What if you were given a chance to leave behind your everyday routine? Your underpaid job cleaning up the nuclear wastelands from an assortment of merry mutants (including centipede pandas and cave dwelling members of conservative parties)... your shipwrecked personal life complete with two emotionally and financially debilitating divorces and an unbroken string of inspiringly ill-advised relationships... your cut-rate room in a cut-rate hotel with a cut-rate pillow under your (cut-rate) head... your Monday and your Wednesday and your Friday that looks and feels and tastes uncomfortably like your yesteryear’s Thursday...

What if you were given a chance to be the first human to reach for the stars? What if you were given a chance to find a brave new world for all mankind? What if it was a chance that you absolutely, resolutely, definitely, categorically did not want?

Join the reluctant space pioneer Adam Samsarian and his mildly insane (and only occasionally homicidal) on-board computer on a mind (and logic and ethics and traffic rules and rodent rights) bending trip through cosmos unexplored and the ever labyrinthine Armenian brain!

And so (whether you want it or not) your Odyssey of discovery, self-discovery and inter-galactic sex begins...

This is the synopsis of a book I kind of find hard to summarize... it is a comedy and it is a tragedy and it is a satire and it is farce. I have no idea how the readers will relate to the story or the main characters. It is also out of my hands - The Circle Of... belongs to the world now. I do hope people will like it.

Also, please let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to answer :)

Vardan Partamyan (vardanpartamyan) | 109 comments Just received this five star review from Julia:

"A well-written and engaging story, with strong characters, exciting plot turns, and excellent dialogue. The main character is unique, and that’s one of the reasons the story is so compelling. He’s socially antagonistic, smart, and sarcastic. The book is filled with dark-ish humor, irony, and sarcasm. A really good book!"

With over 440 ratings and 12 published works, still every review and every rating counts...thanks for making my day Julia :)

Vardan Partamyan (vardanpartamyan) | 109 comments Another 5 star review!

"The Circle Of... is my favorite book from Vardan Partamyan. It is totally in his style. The hero has a very sarcastic, dark but at the same time very funny sense of humor that I think everyone will enjoy and laugh ! Besides being funny the story is very attractive and has unexpected twists and turns. I was very touched by the part when the hero discovers a planet populated by Armenians ancestors of which were escaped from Armenian massacres real events! This is my favorite section and I am glad that he could reflect this in his story, maybe this could also raise awareness about Armenian genocide real events for readers. Overall I enjoyed the book and will recommend to science fiction fans."
