A series definitely worth a look in...Seriously..It is a must read...

As most of you will know, I took on a Reviewer position within Top2Bottom Reviews.  I have been lucky enough to have picked, merely by chance, some of the best books I have read in the last 2 years.  One series that definitely stands out was the The Disciples of Goedric Trilogy by Jeffrey Jude.  I have pasted my review for Book 1 below, get onto it, read it, it's absolutely fantastic!


Jeffrey Jude has managed to roll a myriad of sub-genres into this one story. Gay Romance/Suspense/Supernatural/Science/Conspiracy/and Ancient History, and I’m almost certain I have left something out! A story not just for the gay men and women, but for all who enjoy a thought provoking and entertaining read.
This is an Epic, an absolute Epic! If I hadn’t had book two and three in my possession I could have been pushed clean off the edge of sanity, this is definitely not a story you can just stop reading, especially considering the Mt Everest cliffhanger we are left with on the final page.
Ok, let’s delve a little deeper…
The characters in this story are three dimensional, well described and ‘real’ on every level. Each with unique emotions and reactions to the many high adrenaline situations that Jeffrey Jude throws them into. Even the wolves in this story have their own personalities!
Situations and scenes are also extremely vivid, so much so that I can still smell the camp-fire from time to time, and taste the copious amounts of scotch Justin was drinking towards the end of the final chapter…
The plot of the story is fast paced, yet still timed so as to fully develop each scene, and each characters response both physically and emotionally.
The actual premise of this story, that being the real time scenario within the story, I have to say scares me greatly. As a gay man myself, the idea behind this story and way those idea’s are described seem far too plausible for comfort. This story really makes you stop and think about how easily it could be done in today’s age, let alone in the future.
I think they only gripe I had with this title, and I say title, not story, is the editing. I found a few too many editing oversights for my liking. Luckily though the pace of the story and the quality of the writing made it easy to self correct and move over the mistakes without too much issue, but something I, as a publisher, would be looking at if a re-release or print version was to become available.
As an avid reader, and publisher, there are 3 types of books, there is the book that is so hard to imagine that you usually give up, or get through it without any lasting impressions.
There is the book that allows you snap shots of scenes, but with no real mobility as far as the story goes.
Then there is the book which simply and easily plays in your mind like a well made movie. Gay Gene Rising was definitely number 3. It is also a book I think would do well as a blockbuster epic movie! Definitely take my words and become a Disciple of Goedric!
