Democracy failed. But something better has risen in its place. One man reigns on Noltos, with no rivals or elections to encumber him. Not knowing whose identity he’ll assume when his term is up, his fairness is beyond reproach. To the masses, this man is known only as the Adjudicator. Cole Bishop believes in the Adjudicator system. Even after he’s snatched from his bed in the middle of the night. Told that he’ll rule for a few years and then live as a stranger in somebody else’s skin. But when a mysterious accident leaves his son at death’s door, politics doesn’t seem so important any longer. Bishop is going to save the boy’s life, no matter what his government does—or what his friends say—to stop him. Debut author Crispen Callger keeps the pages turning in this smart fusion of tomorrow's technology and today's headlines. Praised as a breath of fresh air for the genre, ADJUDICATOR leaves readers wondering if perhaps humanity's political evolution hasn't quite yet run its course.

A "THINKING PERSON'S" SCIFI NOVEL By Robert Steven Thomas I was pleased to offer the following honest review in return for a free copy of the book:Scifi can serve as a great format to present the social and political inequalities of human life through a unique, metaphorical point of observation. In this original novel by a new author; colonist's left Earth hundreds of years ago, found a new habital planet and pioneeringly settled it. The going was rough. The planet eventually became split apart by three major factions. How does this "New Earth" find a political solution to solve the turmoil, infighting and injustice? The author's solution in this book presents many interesting parallels to our current global-sociological dilemmas and equally original solutions. It is also set amongst a background of action/adventure between government corruption and rebellious non-conformists. My only reason for not rating the book 5-Star is because occasionally the dialog became confusing, requiring me to re-read earlier passages for greater clarity before I could move ahead. In its defense, this book does contain many new, well-contrived tid-bits of highly original philosophy.

This Book Could Be Improved By Some Tweaks, But It Is Still An Excellent Tale By Pheel This is a story with a great premise, dealing with the governing structure of a world. I enjoyed the general concept, including how even a "perfect" system has flaws in execution. However, there are also some ways I was a bit disappointed, and that made me feel like the book could have been even more.The main character, Cole Bishop, was well created. I felt I knew him well, and was right along with him for the story. However, the antagonist, Warren Trull, was far more of a cipher. He was not a cardboard character, but we knew very little of his background, his drives and beliefs. I guess was at least partly by design, though, because much of the story, in one way or another, was Warren against Cole, and we were seeing everything from Cole's point of view. This lack of background knowledge also brings a surprise twist near the end that one would not expect.One area I felt could have used more fleshing out was that of the system itself. We were thrown into the middle of it, and didn't have any kind of prior understanding of how the Adjudication system was designed. I found myself mistrusting everything and everyone in part because of my general lack of understanding of the system. The total isolation of the Adjudicator from everyone made me think of how easy it might be to take over and subvert this governing method. The Adjudicator made the policy decisions, but his isolation prevented him from knowing whether they were ever carried out. Department heads could have easily twisted his edicts to their own ends, and no one would ever know. Granted, that is to a degree what happened with Warren Trull, being the true power behind the throne.The middle section of the book struck me as being a bit of a James Bond type story, with amazing things happening that one would not think the characters involved could do. This brought down my believability factor somewhat, and this is a story that does require belief in what is happening and how.Another area I felt was lacking even more was any explanation of "biotics" versus "synths". I especially never understood truly what a synth was. Since this was a source of much friction in the story, I would have liked to know more about that, and perhaps a bit more of the history of the creation of the society. I also never understood how avatars were created; how did their creators choose who they would look like and make the avatar that way?I felt the basic story line of Cole's son being injured and all of the factors around that were a bit glossed over, and that was the driving action of the book. Perhaps that goes back to the fact that Cole had terribly sketchy information that he was working from, much as many humans do when we are making big decisions.Overall, while it may sound like I did not like the story, nothing could be further from the truth. All the things I have mentioned I feel would have improved the story and made it a five-star+ type of book. As it is, for me it pulls the rating down by about a star at most, and definitely does not take away from my belief that this book is an excellent read, and my heartfelt recommendation that you should check it out. It is not your basic space-ship and aliens type of science fiction. It deals with a human society and their choice of how to solve problems of government. It also shows that personal relationships can sometime trump even the most rigid of systems trying to prevent personal bias from entering into how one governs.

By Grady Harp Crispen Callger steps into the world of published works with what appears to be a debut novel. His genre: science fiction, fantasy, and dystopian tales. Now probably more than at any time Sci-Fi is a popular medium especially among young adults, perhaps searching for an alternative world than the one they see disintegrating around them. Crispen takes advantage of that hunger for alternative worlds and creates a story that not only transfers us to different places and times but also to different ecological choices and governmental alternatives. It works, here, because Crispen is a very fine wordsmith and craftsman - a writer who is able to create bizarre situations and condition that affect real people and alters the stage just enough so that, strange as the ideas are, they become credible. That is the proof of fine science fiction fantasy writing.In an extensive Prologue we discover Crispen's way with words and receive more than a hint of where we are going: `This was it. The realization of a terrible promise made years ago. Dawn of a curse feared by millions but endured by only one. It would open with a powerful blow, then follow him as a dull ache all the way to his grave. The physician's face appeared where Trull's had been. Lips flat over his weak chin, no hint of compassion to be found. Here was a man who had surrendered to the will of the Bureau. Whose shrunken world had only enough room for a clipboard and its empty boxes.'The plot summary is a bit vague, only because we will need to better understand the locations Crispen mentions in passing, but at least the general direction is here: 'Democracy failed. But something better has risen in its place. One man reigns on Noltos, with no rivals or elections to encumber him. Not knowing whose identity he'll assume when his term is up, his fairness is beyond reproach. To the masses, this man is known only as the Adjudicator. Cole Bishop believes in the Adjudicator system. Even after he's snatched from his bed in the middle of the night. Told that he'll rule for a few years and then live as a stranger in somebody else's skin. But when a mysterious accident leaves his son at death's door, politics doesn't seem so important any longer. Bishop is going to save the boy's life, no matter what his government does--or what his friends say--to stop him.'Fingernail biting is appropriate while reading this novel, but allow yourself to connect with the sociopolitical parodies that make this journey so mesmerizing. Excellent debut! Grady Harp, August 15
