Charley de Milo   By: (1933-2002)

Book cover

I recently had the pleasure of reading a captivating novel by Laurence M. Janifer, titled Charley de Milo. This thought-provoking book takes readers on a thrilling journey that seamlessly blends elements of science fiction and espionage.

The story revolves around the titular character, Charley, who is an incredibly charming and unforgettable protagonist. Charley possesses a talent like no other – he has the ability to control the minds of others through his voice. This extraordinary gift draws the attention of secret intelligence agencies, leading Charley to become embroiled in a dangerous game of manipulation and power.

Janifer's expert storytelling keeps readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. His writing style is both concise and evocative, immersing readers into the vivid world he creates. The narrative is fast-paced, with unexpected twists and turns that constantly keep readers guessing.

One of the book's greatest strengths lies in its character development. Charley is a fascinating and enigmatic protagonist who undergoes significant growth throughout the story. His internal struggles and moral dilemmas are brilliantly depicted, making him relatable and sympathetic despite his extraordinary abilities.

Supporting characters are also well-crafted, each contributing to the overall complexity of the plot. Janifer expertly weaves together multiple storylines, creating a rich tapestry of relationships and motivations. This dynamic cast keeps readers engaged and invested in the outcome.

Furthermore, the author masterfully examines the concept of power and its seductive allure. Charley's unique talent is a double-edged sword, as he grapples with the ethical implications of his actions. This examination of power's corrupting influence adds depth to the narrative, encouraging readers to reflect on the moral consequences of their own choices.

Although the book primarily falls within the science fiction genre, its underlying themes and social commentary make it a thought-provoking read for a diverse audience. Janifer skillfully uses Charley's extraordinary abilities as metaphors, prompting readers to consider the implications of mind control and manipulation in our own society.

In conclusion, Charley de Milo is an enthralling novel that effortlessly blends science fiction with espionage. Laurence M. Janifer's writing is both engrossing and thought-provoking, creating a compelling narrative that captivates from beginning to end. With its compelling characters and exploration of power, this book is sure to appeal to fans of both genres. I highly recommend this gripping novel and eagerly anticipate future works from this talented author.

The rocket was on the way up, but Professor Lightning didn't seem to care. Outside the cooktent Wrout flapped his arms and, on that signal, Seaman started up the big electric band, whooping it up with John Philip Sousa for openers, while all over the midway the lights snapped on, big whites and yellows, reds, greens, purples and dusky violets framing, in a titillating dimness, the front flap of the girlie tent. The outside talkers were busy outside the spectacle tents like Wicks' Hell Drivers, Biggest Auto Show in Fifty States outside the grind shows, the eats, the rides: "Here and now, for the fourth part of one single dollar bill, the most amazing ..." "... Terrifying and strange beings from the farthest reaches of the Earth who will exhibit ..." "... Dances learned at the Court of the Sultan, Ay rab dances right here, right on the inside, for only "

And the crowd, filing in, laughed and chattered and shrieked on swooping rides, the Great Crane, the Space Race, the Merry Go Round and the Horses, threw down money to win a kewpie doll, a Hawaiian lei, a real life size imitation scale model of Luna in three real dimensions ...
