Renee began the #ThrowbackThursday meme on her blog, “It’s Book Talk“ to share some of her old favorites as well as sharing books published over a year ago. Hopefully, you’ll find either a story or author that interests you and you’ll check them out. And, if you’d like to join the fun, you’re welcome to use Renee’s pic from her website.

This week I am highlighting Dean C. Moore, another terrific, prolific author who wrote Terraforming Earth-Phase 2, which I reviewed on Goodreads. This is the second in a series of three, Phase 3, published March 2016. A cerebral author of mind-bending fiction (thank heaven and may it stay that way), he has actually written a number of books stretching across genres. This novel was published on October 11, 2015. He consistently runs approximately 4.5+ stars for any of his books sold on Amazon.

Book Blurb:
When steering human evolution with designer plagues proves too dangerous out in the open, people are herded into domed cities. Their experiments can begin on them in earnest. Sing-Sing is tasked with containing the Singularity effect, making sure that the explosive release of creative energy continues to serve only the top one percent instead of creating an Age of Abundance. Nano Metro is tasked with preparing humanoids to migrate to the Genesis ships in low orbit, where their guided evolution will continue to ensure they will one day be fit to occupy every environmental niche in the cosmos.
With the Earth quickly headed in the direction of its former pristine Garden of Eden state, and plans for conquering the cosmos virtually overnight well in hand thanks to a well-managed Singularity effect, Garrett Rawlings, Simone Bolivar, and the rest of the FutureScape corporate and military-industrial complex super-alliance ought to be able to relax. But they quickly realize that playing masters of the universe games pits them against alien civilizations with far more experience in this area. If they can’t hide the fact that Earth has entered Singularity state until they’re ready to fight a war for dominion of the cosmos, they’ll be blown off the map before the game has even started. It’s the first time that the all-powerful Garrett Rawlings and his lover, Simone, whose mind entered singularity state long ago, have ever played the roles of the underdogs.
Garrett and Simone face ever-increasing problems on the home front as well. The resistance, led by Rake Cunningham and Doc Holiday, is coming on strong. If Garrett and Simone aren’t careful, the Age of Abundance they’ve worked so hard to forestall could come around sooner than anyone imagined. And that would mean a total loss of control. The one thing Garrett and Simone will not tolerate.
My Review:
In the FutureScape series, “Terraforming Earth-Phase 1-The Plagues Era,” Dean C Moore introduced us to the concept of the super wealthy and powerful conceiving the idea of reducing the earth’s over-population to their approved manageable and intellectual level. The resulting plagues fashioned to kill off millions of conceived lower level humans apparently touches off a maelstrom of opposition as well as empathetic factions further manipulating the weeding of the earth’s population into their own designs. In Phase 2 of “Terraforming Earth-The Humanoids in Sealed Habitats,” the world’s powerful entities form separate groups which then proceed with diabolical plans of their own as they stream remaining populations into seven domed complexes designed to further future strategies. Is it really possible to weed to the top 1%?
Armed with superior artificial intelligence, the four biggest warring factions, the Quality of Lifers, Digital Nirvana, STARS-R-US, and the Unwanteds all have separate and major objectives. The populations have evolved “chipheads” with more being actively and heavily recruited to further individual faction goals.
Luckily, our major protagonists (there are more than one), Rake Cunningham and “Doc” Holiday set up camp in an effort to counter-act extreme deadly advancements. Moore’s antagonists Garrett and his lover, the beautiful but extremely lethal Simone, revise their original goal to include the evolution of the “unkillable” human. Moore introduces us to myriad characters each managing survival, contributing some facet of continued, if harrowing, existence.
If Moore weaves the plot into something becoming terrifyingly realistic, it’s because we’ve begun to realize that the evolution of our human race has gone beyond wheels to flight into realms both unimaginable and horrifyingly possible. Technology beyond the capacity to even imagine yesterday in use today. And haven’t we always suspected there is someone or something out there besides us?
Once again, Dean C Moore envisions the future with da Vinci eyes and elaborates in shocking detail those scenes brought to incredible but terrifying reality through his pen.
While action-packed sci-fi/techno-thrillers set in the near future are my forte, I also stray into other genres from time to time, such as space operas, paranormal fantasy, and detective stories. All my novels can be described as action-thrillers, no matter the sub-genre.

I live in the country where I breed bluebirds, which are endangered in these parts, as my small contribution to restoring nature’s balance. When I’m not writing, or researching my next book, I may also be found socializing with friends or working in the garden. If you’d like to know what compels me to write, it’s simple. I write as a force for peace. Fiction has a way of engaging our whole minds, not just our intellects, but various layers of our conscious, super-conscious, and unconscious. Novels also encourage our left and right cerebral hemispheres to get in sync and, with just enough magic and wizardry, can help to transform people into more enlightened souls (the writer included) better than a hundred years of therapy or rational arguments to the same ends.
I’ve remained a lifelong student of philosophy, spirituality, psychology, science, and the arts. Mark Freeman Enterprises (MFE) is my company. I sometimes publish under that label or simply under Amazon Digital Services. Dean C Moore
