boydm -
Wow, your books sound great!!! All have very interesting premises. I'll have to check them out!!!
I've also been seeing that they've been getting good feedback. I look through the "what are you reading" thread and notice that your books are being very favorably reviewed. Good for you!!

I just finished The Ark, which was my first novel read on my Kindle 2. I loved it! I'm a big Clive Cussler and Ted Bell fan, and this book fit right in with them. (Nothing wrong with emulating the best.) I have purchased the others and will read them soon. Better yet, I will tell my Dad who is always looking for good tecno thrillers to read (and is a huge Cussler fan).
Way to go Boyd.!! Tell us more about how your write, etc.

I am reading The Palmyra Impact right now and really enjoying it! At lunch, I got to the part where the wave is just now hitting Waikiki. I HATED having to quit reading and come back to work! I can't wait to see what happens!

I read The Adamas Blueprint and couldn't put it down. I have the other two and look forward to reading them. You are a great storyteller.

Not to take anything away from The Adamas Blueprint since it is definitely a great book but as his work progresses it improves so you are in for even better as you move along.

A gentle reminder to folks, not everyone has read Boyd's books yet, if you are going to mention any plot points, please use the spoiler block tags.
If you're not familiar with the spoiler block tags, when you are typing your post, in the row of text attribute icons (top row over the smileys), the spoiler block tag icon is 4th from the right with SP in it, after the musical note and before the Amazon search icon. If you click on it, any text you put between it appears as a solid black bar in the posted reply until the cursor is over it. Or, you can highlight text in your post and then click on it.
Thanks for being kind to us who haven't read Boyd's books yet!
Betsy

I am sorry. I didn't think it was necessary since the cover has this really big wave on it, the title has the word impact in it and the description tells the location. I didn't think I was giving away any secrets. I will be more careful in the future.

Appreciate it, AnelaBelladonna (love typing that!) Covers are often less than literal...I didn't have a clue!  Betsy |

It's OK.  I am glad you like my name. I have used that on forums for about 7 years now. It was the name of one of my first characters in the online game Dark Age of Camelot. BTW...I finished The Palmyra Impact and it was awesome! I was exhausted when it was over. |

Now I am very sorry I missed the chat because this morning I started The Ark and it is great. I love it. I'm about half through but had to stop for kids, dinner, DH, pets, etc. Can't wait to pick it up again tonight.  |

Boyd - I actually posted something in the book klub section a bit ago (didn't look around much before posting it - duh on me), but I'll repeat the bottom line here: great stuff!! I just started reading "The Ark," and as far as I can see, it's on a par with Preston and Childs. While I write sci-fi/fantasy stuff myself at this point, most of what I've read over the last however many years has been techno-thriller types of things. I sometimes get into moods where it's impossible for me to figure out what I want to read, but as soon as I started reading the sample for "The Ark," I was hooked!  Anyway, good onya, and I'll definitely be checking out your other books... Cheers, Mike |

Thanks to everyone who has posted such wonderful praise for my books. I'm really floored by the response. I just wanted to remind everyone that the Book Klub for The Ark starts tomorrow, May 1. We'll be reading 12 chapters a week, but each chapter is only five or six pages long, so I think it's a manageable weekly rate. Of course, if you'd like to read faster than that, please do. I'll post some general discussion questions tomorrow that won't include any spoilers. Then on May 8, I'll post some questions that include references to events in the chapters. I'd also love to hear any questions or topics that readers would like to raise. Cheers, Boyd |

Kudos to Mr. Morrison. I have read The Ark and The Adamas Blueprint so far and loved them. I love the James Rollins, Clive Cussler, Matthew Reilly, Douglas Preston genre and I can now add Boyd Morrison to that list!! He is definately on par with those authors and I am looking forward to starting The Palmyra Impact next. On a side note, also living near Seattle, it was nice to read about about setting there and saying "I know where those are; I can really visualize the scene in the book" LOL

Thanks, Lynn and Merlin! I'm working on the first novel in a new thriller series right now, and I plan to finish it this summer. If I can find a publisher for it, it will take a while to get into print and on Kindle. After that one is done, I may go back and see what kind of trouble Tyler Locke is getting into. |

I read The Ark over the weekend - very good! Not too techy either, which some authors can get too drawn into IMO.
I don't have Whispernet so had to wait til this morning to download The Palmyra Impact, so I was at a loose end last night, not wanting to start anything else already on my Kindle until I could get reading this one! I'd better get The Adamas Blueprint too!

Loving The Palmyra Impact! I was late for work this morning because I got so engrossed in it.
And I just read that these are all e-books only?? Not published yet??? Can't believe that!

Thanks, Danielle! This would be a good weekend to read The Palmyra Impact since it takes place on Memorial Day (which was another title I was considering for the book). It would be doubly fun if you were in Honolulu! |
