I wasn't sure what to expect, but I absolutely loved this! It's a sci-fi/fantasy/slightly steampunk adventure tale, starring an intrepid female adventurer, who goes on some pretty fantastic otherworldly adventures. It's like "Journey to the Center of the Earth" meets "Barbarella" meets "Forgotten Realms" meets "Pippi Longstocking" meets "Cosmos." YUSS!!Product details

Aimee Bancroft and The Singularity Storm eBook Daniel Marc Chant J R Park Neil Baker Reviews
What happens when Daniel Marc Chant leaves horror behind (temporarily, of course), and ventures into the cosmic void that is science-fiction!
Well, if you like your science-fiction pulpy, filled with underwater cities and aquafolk (new word there, people!), then I am pleased to report that Mr Chant has come up trumps with this novella that gave me everything I expected and more. The cover is wonderful and Chant releases his inner Doug McClure with a tale of high adventure set in another world. This story could easily be imagined on your TV, on a lazy Saturday afternoon straight after ‘The Land Before Time’.
Aimee Bancroft is a terrific tale set in a magical underwater world. The story is immense fun. Aimee gets caught up in a freak storm and is transported to another world! I often find the science-fiction genre a little disengaging due to its over reliance on actual science. I want monsters, other worlds, space craft, gripping escapes, not the physics behind space travel! I can look at that sort of stuff on the internet so leave it out of my fiction, please!
The fact that this is a novella makes me want more. I can easily imagine a Buck Rogers style series going on with Aimee Bancroft. She is a fantastic character, brimming with confidence, quick witted and eager to explore. Aimee is undoubtedly the star of the show but there are some other great characters too. I particularly enjoyed Sergent Arkon – a bumbling fists-first type character that isn’t the brightest star in the sky!
If you are a fan of any of the above mentioned movies/shows then you need to check this out. Great pulpy space fun.
A copy of Aimee Bancroft and The Singularity Storm was sent to Confessions of a Reviewer by the author, Daniel Marc Chant, in exchange for an honest review. This is said review. This book is published by The Sinister Horror Company.
So, Daniel Marc Chant, or Mr Posh to his friends, has a new book out. This one. He sent me a copy for my own pleasure and not necessarily for review but I couldn’t resist. I had to change reading mode for this one as it is, wait for it, NOT HORROR! How very dare he. But, on the flip side, this is a perfect excuse to get to see how he writes stuff other than the scary ones. This is a sci-fi tale. To be honest I didn’t know anything about the synopsis before I started to read it but I was intrigued from page one.
This is what I thought.
Aimee Bancroft is a lady from the privileged side of the fence. She has had numerous adventures all over the world and has got a name for herself as a great explorer.
Her latest adventure is her most gruelling yet. She is attempting to row across the Atlantic single handedly. She would be the first woman to do so. A feather in her cap that she would like to show off to many condescending men.
During a storm, she gets sucked into a maelstrom, and faces certain death. Until she wakes up at the bottom of the ocean. This is the beginning of an adventure that Aimee will never forget.
So you would think that a story about a woman rowing across the Atlantic wouldn’t have a lot of characters in it. Well you would be wrong. The problem I have is that I can’t tell about any of them, apart from Aimee herself, without giving away some of the story, which you will know I am not prepared to do.
Aimee is an upper middle class lady who speaks very posh, like the author, and I suspect hasn’t really had much hardship in her life. Yes, she is brave for what she is doing and yes she is headstrong and a few other superlatives that you would use to describe a lady with huge cojones. In the middle of this storm though, her vulnerabilities come to the fore and she genuinely fears for her life.
She is even more scared when she wakes up at the bottom of the ocean. I can tell you no more.
The story itself features a plot that, if you loved your sci-fi films when you were younger, will not be unfamiliar to you. Lady explorer gets caught up in a storm and ends up in a………..not going there. You get the picture.
It involves a mysterious lost world. A mysterious lost people. An ancient history full of legends that many believe, and many don’t. Where Aimee comes into all of this, well, you will just have to read it to find out.
So how is the writing? I was worried about this one. I love what Mr Chant writes with the scary stuff. Mr Robespierre was my favourite short of last year. Sci-fi though? You know what? He has only gone and bloody pulled it off. This is wonderful. Yeah it is sci-fi, but for me it was also full of fantasy and yes even a little bit of horror. What Aimee goes through is not for the feint hearted.
The world she ends up in sounds beautiful. The people sound weird. The legends sound fearful. This reminded me of so many of the old sci-fi shows I grew up watching with my dad when I was a little kid. There are flavours of Star Trek in there, even though it is set under water. There are flavours of any underwater adventure show you would have seen in the 70’s or 80’s. Most of all though when I read this I felt Farscape. Don’t ask me why. I think it was the colours and the atmosphere and the strange people all coming together in one big adventure.
I’m not as huge a sci-fi fan as I was when I was a kid, but this really hit the mark with me. Wonderful writing that really does take you away to another world. Daniel Marc Chant’s writing makes it very easy for you to completely lose yourself in this story and enjoy every minute of it.
To summarise if you want to lose yourself in a story that won’t take much concentration but will provide you with a couple of hours’ fun and enjoyment, then you got to pick this up. You definitely won’t regret it.
