Robin Parrish wants to take you on a ride.<\/p>\n

A wild<\/em> ride — which is exactly what you’re in for when you pick up one of his books. And he’s adamant that it will never be the same kind of experience twice.<\/p>\n

Robin’s stories mix, mingle, and meld various genres together to create thoroughly original suspense\/thrillers. His Dominion Trilogy, for example, mashed up superhero action, secret societies, ancient myths, and an apocalyptic setting to create an entirely new take on the classic “hero’s journey.” Offworld<\/em> mixed science fiction and an end-of-the-world scenario with high-octane action. Nightmare<\/em>, his 2010 novel, is a spine-tingling examination of the world of the paranormal, paired with can’t-put-it-down mystery. His 2011 novel, Vigilante<\/em>, is an action-packed story about a soldier who sets out to change the world. Later this year, he’s releasing his first ever Young Adult novel, titled Corridor<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Always pushing the envelope, ever on the edge of where modern storytelling is going, Robin Parrish will gladly and unapologetically tell you that he’s an entertainer, a weaver of stories that ignite the mind and delight the heart. Defying labels and refusing pigeonholes, his imagination is fueled by the possibilities of asking “What if\u2026?”, and as anyone who’s read his work knows, he has a very big imagination.<\/p>\n

His influences as a novelist range from television and film storytellers like Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams, to masters of the modern myth like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Akin to Philip K. Dick’s search for the meaning of identity, most of what Robin writes about boils down to his own ponderings and examinations of just what this thing we call “existence” is.<\/p>\n

Robin is a full time writer. He and his wife Karen and two children live in High Point, NC.<\/p>\n

“Robin Parrish is a keen-eyed, passionate pop cultural savant,<\/em><\/p>\n

whose writing is as incisive and insightful as it is entertaining.”<\/p>\n

– Allan Heinberg, Executive Producer, Grey’s Anatomy<\/em><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Nolan Gray is an elite soldier, skilled in all forms of combat. After years fighting on foreign battlefields, witnessing unspeakable evils and atrocities firsthand, a world-weary Nolan returns home to find it just as corrupt as the war zones. Everywhere he looks, there’s pain and cruelty. Society is being destroyed by wicked men who don’t care who they make suffer or destroy.<\/p>\n

Nolan decides to do what no one else can, what no one has ever attempted. He will defend the helpless. He will tear down the wicked. He will wage a one-man war on the heart of man, and he won’t stop until the world is the way it should be.<\/p>\n

The wicked have had their day. Morality’s time has come. In a culture starving for a hero, can one extraordinary man make things right?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have to be honest and admit that I haven’t finished this book. Somehow or another I’ve managed to get behind on my reading and need to post this during the tour as I\u00a0 promised when I signed up with CFBA. I am over halfway done and it’s even possible that tired as I am, I could find myself awake until I reach the end. So far Vigilante<\/a> has been an extremely imaginative tale with interesting characters that I want to get to know a little better. And I’ve gotten far enough into the story that I’d like to see how everything works out for Nolan and his team.\u00a0 Vigilante<\/a> has plenty of action so it should appeal to men readers but many women may also find it to their taste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
