Books In Sync Recognizes Author Gary Starta
Gary Starta is a science fiction, fantasy and mystery author who creates fiction on the fringe of genre and imagination. His latest novel Gods of the Machines incorporates mystery with science fiction and romance…..
Gary Starta is a former journalist who studied English and Journalism at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.
His love for science fiction compelled him to write his first novel ‘ What Are You Made Of? ‘ published in 2006. Inspired by Isaac Asimov, the science fiction novel focuses on intelligent artificial life and whether sentient androids should possess the same rights as humans. The androids in Starta’s novel are created as hybrids – part machine, part human – further blurring the line between human and machine. Starta foresees a near future where humans will be forced to decide if intelligent machinery is indeed a life form. Possibly, in this near future, some humans will possess computer enhancements to overcome disabilities becoming hybrids themselves. The line between biological life form and mechanical life form will continue to be examined in a follow up novel now being written.
Starta cites Stephen King and Dean Koontz as inspirations for his 2007 novel ‘ Blood Web ‘ which is also reminiscent of the The X-files television/movie series. Contemporary authors Laurell K. Hamilton, Rachel Caine, Jim Butcher and Kelly Armstrong also fuel his aspiration to create paranormal suspense. The follow up novel to ‘ Blood Web ‘ – ‘ Extreme Liquidation ‘ explores Caitlin Diggs’ supernatural gifts including the ability to see the future in dreams and to read a person’s character through emotions. Updates on the publication date for ‘ Extreme Liquidation ‘ will follow.
Starta’s crime novella ‘ Murder by Association’ blends mystery with forensic investigation. It is a departure from previous books because it contains no science fiction or paranormal elements. Additionally, Starta foresees his 2008 novella ‘ Alzabreah’s Garden ‘ – a fantasy romance – as another out-of-the-box effort.
Just released is his Paranormal Suspense ‘Gods of the Machines’ which take place in space where Earth is settling a new planet. Androids are a major focus of this novel as well as his novel ‘What are You Made Of?’
*************************
Just Released Gods of the Machines by Gary Starta
Detective Sam Benson, a native New Yorker, is brash, opinionated and candid. Transplanted to work on Earth’s first colonized planet, he envisions a relatively peaceful job. But Benson’s ruthless nature might bring it to the brink of annihilation when a series of murders begins. He suspects a non-human is responsible-an android who once shared engrams with a psychopathic human. However, the detective doesn’t know other non-humans once called his new world-theirs. And as Benson obsesses with making a case against the android, he is oblivious to their return and the reason why they consider machines to be their gods.
From the Author
“Redemption is a theme which runs through Gods of the Machines, a new Sci-Fi Mystery/Paranormal Suspense which takes place on the recently colonized planet, Ceres.
Det. Sam Benson needs to redeem himself in the eyes of his lover and colleague, Sandra. When Sandra finds Benson is eager to pin a spree of murders on an android – without obtaining concrete evidence – she postpones their wedding. Benson then seeks solace in his new CSI partner.
And while Benson is distracted by his personal business, the murders continue. No trace evidence is left behind and the murders are brutal, still leaving Benson to believe – despite protests from Sandra – that only a super strengthened being would be capable of the crimes.
Yet something connected to the origin of the planet may be the answer when unexplained disturbances affect the computer controlled weather net system.
Now Benson must consider other suspects – ones that may not currently reside on Ceres.”
