Book Description
From best selling author Darrell Bain, this satirical look at Bill Clinton may politically offend but it's hilariously funny at the same time... This book is a good example of what comes from mixing politics and beer. It resulted from a night of camaraderie and debauchery with my brothers. Sometime during the festivities, one of us thought up the idea of what might happen should a real, though intelligent, Redneck ever get to the White House. We all laughed like crazy at the prospect and had great fun discussing various scenarios and situations. Perhaps we also vented some of our frustration at the labyrinthine entanglements of our present political process and how it works or doesn't work. At any rate, once I sobered up, I thought the idea might make a good book. Download Description

5-0 out of 5 stars Laughed and LaughedUNTIL we cried
This book gave us more then we ever thought.The author brings true to life the real colors of having a doxie in your world.I originally got this book for myself to read.I ended up reading aloud virtually the entire story to my husband.Whether you have a doxie, much less a dog in your world, the story of Biscuit is hilarious, and to ones amazement daily life with a "wiener dog".
Even more wonderful is I have since read this book to our 3 nephews who laughed so hard THEY even had tears coming down.This book comes soo highly suggested, it would be a shame to go through life and to never have heard the story of "Doggie Biscuit"
Thank you Darrell Bain

5-0 out of 5 stars A story that is thoughtful and universal in its appeal
Biscuit is a little dachshund that exemplifies what we all love best about our canine companions. Doggie Biscuit follows this charming canine character throughout his entire life story. Writing with a tongue-in-cheek style humor, author Darrell Bain lays out a remarkable story of love and adventure (Biscuit may be the only dog in the world to have received a traffic ticket!) that will completely engage the reader's full and rapt attention from first page to last. Indeed, it would not be unexpected for readers with canine companions of their own to see in Biscuit some of those special times and qualities that is to be found in their own dog's behavior. Not to be missed is a very special section of Doggie Biscuits that deals with Biscuit's extensive vocabulary and is complete with his ability to communicate through, and respond to, an amazing list of words, phrases and gestures. A pure joy and entertainment, Dogie Biscuit is also a story that is thoughtful and universal in its appeal. Highly recommended reading!

5-0 out of 5 stars Such a Cute Book!
Doggie Biscuit is a really cute book, and I'm not even all that fond of dogs!In Doggie Biscuit, Darrell Bain tells the absolutely delightful story of Biscuit, a Dachshund.Truly, Biscuit is a member of the family.You'll be crying from laughing so hard at some of the antics of Biscuit, but sadly, you'll be crying tears of sadness at the end of the book, too.

Doggie Biscuit would be a great book for anyone who loves animals, especially dogs. ... Read more

Product Description
A clerk working in the census bureau discovers a series of anomalies in the population of a small city located in the Ozark Mountains. Intrigued, the clerk continues to investigate. He finds that, on average, the people of the city and surrounding valley, are a little smarter, less religious, more thrifty, marry less, have a higher level of education, are more sexually liberated and have fewer illnesses. The city also refuses government money for schools and roads, has little crime and no sign of racial unrest. None of these factors would mean much taken alone, but together, they spell out a population that is distinctly skewed from the normal. Surprisingly, hardly anyone in the valley realizes that most of them are different from the average. They simply think they live in a good place among good people.

2-0 out of 5 stars Fun Read, but seems stuck in the 60s
Strange Valley was a fun read, and it goes fast, which is probably a good thing, because I'd hate to think I spent too much time on this one.It's got an interesting premise, but it fails to expand much beyond the premise.Character motivations are paper-thin and seem too often to just be a thinly disguised extension of the author's feelings with no logical grounding in the plot. And sure, it's fun to see someone taking a few pot shots at neo-conservative Christian mentalities, but hey, it doesn't always drive the book forward.And the sexual liberalism scenes, particularly the final one where the main characters are celebrating their success, come off as just some ridiculous throw-back to the 60s.Like something out of an Austin Powers spoof.Can you say campy?

4-0 out of 5 stars A fun read with a few flaws
Premise:The United States has an ultra-conservative, fundamentalist Christian ex-preacher as a President, and he gets upset with a Census Bureau analyst discovers that Masterville, Arkansas and the surrounding valley features a population that is markedly non-religious and features few marriages and many voters registered as Independents.The President chooses to overlook many of the other statistical anomalies in this valley:very low crime rate, very low usage of government funding, high life expectancy, large number of children, low unemployment, high percentage of intact families (even if the parents seldom are married), low divorce rate.The President only sees a valley of citizens who are not religious and who did not vote for him.His response:send in the National Security Agency to investigate the Godless mutants!

The N.S.A. sends in Shirley Rostervik and Daniel Stenning, who quickly find that Masterville is a great place to live.There is no apparent conspiracy, and no hint of danger to the national security.But, Masterville is quite different, in a positive and quite intriguing manner.It is definitely worth investigating, for intellectual curiosity, but not a place that is dangerous.

As the President and the Director of the N.S.A. continue to not find the conspiracy they are convinced is there, they escalate their efforts to ferret out what surely be a government-threatening rebellion in the making.

It eventually comes out that one of the N.S.A. agents is one of "them" (a Godless free-loving mutant), and begins to look at resigning from the N.S.A. and taking up residence in Masterville.The N.S.A. helps him make up his mind, through very direct and unpleasant means, and the agent is plunged into the true secret of Masterville.Is that secret a threat to national security, or a boon to all Humankind?

This is a very fast-paced thriller with a science-fiction component.It is definitely a page-turner, and I enjoyed reading it.Mr. Bain knows how to turn out an entertaining tale.But, there are several flaws that, for me, cost the story one of the five stars it could have earned, and came close to costing it another star.

There were several sex scenes that seemed unnecessarily explicit to me.The social mores of the valley had to be communicated to the reader, but I felt that the level of detail given was excessive.Robert Heinlein depicted similar attitudes and relationships in "Stranger in a Strange Land" or "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" without need of the play-by-play account given in "Strange Valley."

The extremes of the politicians in Washington, D.C. and of the residents of the valley are so polarized, that I could not identify with either one, and I think that many readers will be in the same situation.All of the "good (valley) guys" were caricatures, with no significant flaws, and all of the "bad (government) guys" were corrupt, rigid, narrow-minded, and authoritarian, with few redeeming qualities.In essence, only Shirley Rostervik came off as a fairly rounded, three-dimension character."Strange Valley" thus ends up sharing that trait of Extreme-A-versus-Extreme-B that can also be found in Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged."

"Strange Valley" shares another flaw with "Atlas Shrugged":they both needed better editing.I'm talking about words with missing letters, sentences with missing words, and instances of mis-chosen words (e.g., "they" instead of "the").

The "science" component of "science-fiction" is also not well-explained here.The author covers this by having the genius behind the science be so caught up in his jargon that he cannot explain it in lay terms.The reader finally gets some idea of the science being described, but it was enough for me to buy the concepts.

So, after all these complaints, why still four stars?With a sufficient dose of suspension-of-disbelief, and an ability to overlook weak editing, "Strange Valley" is still a very fun read.

5-0 out of 5 stars strong hyperbole based thriller
Census Bureau career civil servant Harry Beales is stunned with the data that reflects Masterville in the Arkansas Ozarks.The small town contains no measurable crime, a much greater than average life-span, no international business chains as everything is locally owned, no federal money is received not even Medicare or Pell Grants, the marriage rate is very low, but offspring very high and no major religion has taken hold. However, the oddest fact is that these trends can be traced back to the Civil War.

Harry's findings reach NSA; they become concerned with this oddity in the center of the Bible Belt especially since the objective of the President of the United States is to imbue Christian family values as the Bill of Rights.NSA field agents Daniel Stenning and Shirley Rostervick are sent to Masterville to uncover and destroy this heretical conspiracy in the middle of the United States that the POTUS and the NSA believe is the biggest threat to national security since the wall fell.

Using hyperbole to highlight the extreme of the fundamentalist religious right movement, Darrell Bain provides a powerful political thriller.The story line showcases a central government that feels so strongly in the end state of Christian based federalism that it leads the people to a restrictive faith in which the means to get there do not matter.This includes beating the bushes to thwart a small town whose residents are living together in harmony as that is not necessarily a pious life style.This reviewer kept thinking of the bane imposed on Rushdie as this strong thriller with a powerful message leaves readers to ponder what is right. Darrell Bain has written a fabulous eye-opening tale.

Book Description
Since their introduction in Medics Wild!, the zany Williard brothers' adventures have become increasingly science fictionish in nature, involving a real dinosaur in the Congo one time and factual evidence of Bigfoot (or more likely an alien) the next, but this escapade tops even those past exploits for strangeness.

THREE FOR THE MONEY takes place after the turn of the century when the Williard brothers of Vietnam war fame are beginning to show their age, but aren't ready to slow down yet. They are headed into their wildest adventure yet, involving a treasure worth far more than their inherited billions even if they can collect the money, which becomes increasingly doubtful, because others want it, too. Their attempt to find the money and the baffling object that may be the real prize will set the stage for their antics to last for many, many years to come. Of course first they have to defeat the mysterious Mister H and his beautiful assistant, the CIA, the FBI, and the Mexican army, then find the money, collect the unknown prize and escape with their lives. That's a tall order for anyone--except the Williard brothers, the most amazing trio to appear in fiction since the Three Musketeers!

5-0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Hysterical!!
Hotline to Heaven is simply hysterical!Parts of the book had me laughing so hard I had tears coming from my eyes.There's some romance, some mystery, an interesting plot, and a lot of publicity for the Salvation Army.All in all, a great book.

4-0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended
Darrell Bain pushes the envelope of plausibility in this lighthearted, entertaining tale of a con artist and the woman who steals his heart. HOTLINE TO HEAVEN is the story of a con artist who falls victim to his own weaknesses in this humorous tale of love and duplicity.

Ed Tanner just pulled off the greatest con. Too bad that he took a bimbo to Las Vegas to celebrate and she absconded with the money. With very little left in his pockets, Ed drops a quarter into the Salvation Army's coffers and meets the beautiful, extremely innocent Violet. Soon his finds his way to the Salvation Army's shelter, and into the heart of Violet.

Despite other's protests, Violet invests her life savings in Ed's new scheme. While she believes he's sincere, Ed has a brilliant idea to line his pockets yet again. He starts God's Fan Club with Violet at the forefront, looking like an angel. He isn't, however, prepared for his heart to be swept away by the innocent.

Ed introduces Violet to the simple things of life such as pretty clothes, jewelry and alcohol. Soon she finds herself swept away on the publicity and excitement of her new life, completely unaware that the man she loves is planning to leave her high and dry.

While Violet's innocence is almost unbelievable, the sharp contrast she provides to the Ed's world provides the reader with sparkling entertainment. The book is a quick read, with a wonderfully deft voice that leaves the reader quite satisfied by the end. Darrell Bain's cast of characters and fun plot will have the reader looking for more of his work! ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Interesting concept, poorly done.
I bought this book because I was intrigued by the idea of pets with human-like qualities and humans with animal genes. The concept raises all kinds of questions about just how human you have to be to be considered fully human. Do you have to have 100% human genes, or can you have some animal genes as long as you "look" human? And what happens to those who are not deemed fully human? Do they have any rights at all?

Sadly, the book never addresses these issues in much detail. In fact, after the first few chapters, most of it becomes so predicable as to be boring. Even the sex scenes don't liven things up much, mostly due to the stilted writing. I found myself wishing for the book to end so it would tie up all the loose ends. Unfortunately, the book ends with a ridiculous cliche.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the poor quality of editing in this book. There are many mispellings and awkward phrases, which I've noticed is common in e-books. Perhaps the editorial standard for digital content is less stringent than for hard copy? In any case, it seriously disrupts the flow of a book that is already burdened enough.

I'd still give the story concept 5 stars, but the writing and editing drag it down to 2 stars. Buy the book only if you can get past that. ... Read more

EPPIE WINNER -2007- Children and Young Adult

In the future, whites have become a minority and are treated as second-class citizens by the colored majority. Whites are discriminated against, relegated to shantytowns and allowed to do only menial labor under segregation laws that are beginning to amount to little more than slavery. As conditions grow worse, white volunteers are worked to death in mine pits and the tar sands, where conditions are so brutal that serving as test subjects on alien planets begins to sound better than anything on earth, no matter what the danger.Download Description

Book Description
Genetic duplicates of people start dropping out of thin air right beside the originals. The duplicates are complete except for one little detail: they're dead. Frank Winston begins an investigation that widens to include the mystery of a vanished airliner that had his parents on board, as well as those of the first person who found a dead twin on her doorstep, Linda Vesprie. Together, they discover that quantum physics is even stranger than scientists had believed, and that their world and an infinite series of alternate earths are in dire peril. Neither Frank nor Linda realize they are being misled when a woman from an alternate earth asks for their help. When they discover the duplicity, it is already far too late to do anything about it. Shadowy monsters, conniving federal agents, alternate worlds and a lonely scientist racing against time to save both his world and earth make this latest offering from best-selling author Darrell Bain and collaborator Barbara Hodges a page-turning adventure that strings the suspense out to the last page. ...

Book Description
Masters of the Sex Gates is the highly anticipated sequel to the mindblowing novel, The Sex Gates. Earth is changed forever when the Sex Gates arrive. By passing through a gate, you can change your sex or cure an incurable illness -- but each passage carries a price. What will the ultimate price be? Outside, the demonstrators shouted and shook their fists. Most of them were convinced there was a trick to successfully making successive passages, a trick that we Seconders selfishly kept to ourselves. That made us evil in their eyes. If such a secret did exist, it would be extremely valuable. The wealthy would gladly sacrifice a fortune to gain effective immortality. And to make that immortality fun, you could change your sex whenever you got bored and enjoy swinging both ways. For a Seconder, it was as easy as walking through one of the ubiquitous sex gates. But there was no secret to sell, and nothing we could tell this mob would appease it. Neither Rita nor I had any idea why we could pass through the gates safely while others vanished if they made the attempt. ... Read more
