From the rear cover: "A mix of mystery science fiction international intrigue with a touch of romance Beware of Memories leaves the reader wanting for nothing except the next book in the series." From a GoodReads review by Carol Mitchell: "OMG! Lets begin by saying how good this book is. Darlien C. Breeze and Patrick K. Jaynes PHD Kept me awake for two nights because they were not playing when they wrote this book. Beware of Memories is especially good if youre seeking a read out of the rigagamor of romance and vampire stories. Its what one would call a soft brand of Science Fiction and a darn good read that keeps you transfixed throughout the entire read! The thing I loved most about this book is how it pulls the reader in and holds their attention with everything under the sun including a rare opportunity to imagine! My kids called me for dinner as Science fiction captured my imagination. That night my food got cold because I simply could not let this book go. To me Patrick and Darlien both gave us the right mix of excitement intrigue and readers will be able to enjoy futurism that truly does not let you down. In fact it is entertaining; its inspiring if you can imagine that! The story begins with Dr. Peter Kirby who incorporates Simone who happens to be an alien. Simone is to help the people of Earth relive past events. Kirby has honed the technology required to achieve a brilliant goal; just remember to pick your tongue up and keep going. Keep in mind you have to read each word to see how this brand of technology in the wrong hands could have altering effects. The humans who resist these attempts are summarily eliminated and this process draws the attention of our protagonists Gardner Poole from Scotland Yard. Theres also Emma Bossart from Interpol. Book one follows the machinations of these detectives as they work to uncover the truth behind the deaths. What got me most in this great read was how the detectives became targets themselves; as they discover that there is something not quite right in their own workplaces. Beware of Memories gives us a great respite in reading to try something fresh and new. The aliens hovering upon earth. And man you dont want any of this to end. Its exciting; its revealing to see that the aliens are actually quite friendly. I was thrilled when they made it to the White House and was welcomed. This is one of those reads you want to give 10 stars but are limited to give only 5. Beware of Memories offers loads of superlatives in adjective form lets say there is adventure thrills suspense love and some darn good writing!" GoodReads rating 4.63 stars. Signed by Patrick K.

2005005595Los Angeles: Alyson Books 2005. First Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. The third and final volume of lesbian writing legend Forrest's science fiction-fantasy trilogy that began in 1984 with the highly-praised "Daughters of a Coral Dawn" an exodus story of 4000 22nd century women who escaped a male-dominated tyrannical Earth to colonize the planet Maternas. Forrest followed with a second novel "Daughters of an Amber Noon" in 2002 which described the fate of the women who remained on Earth. The work was described as "a tour de force" by one reviewer. This third book is set on Maternas some 55 years later and describes the conflict between the original settlers and the first generation of Maternas-born women the first in the history of humanity with a legacy of ultimate freedom with a standard of conduct that has created a schism between older and younger generations. It is also a novel with considerable sexual content. First Printing First Edition. About 5 3/4 x 8 1/2 inches 197 pages including a brief author's biographical note. Black paper-covered boards with gold lettering on spine. The dustjacket shows a photographic design of sky clouds and distant hills in varying shades of green with a closer rocky landscape in shadow. Lettering is in green and white on front cover and spine with a single blurb for "Daughters of an Amber Noon" on the back panel. The dj's front flap describes the trilogy; the back flap is blank. There is no price or printing indicator on the jacket or the book. The copyright page notes the copyright in 2005 by Forrest followed by "Published by Alyson Books" with no date of issue.

The dustjacket shows very minimal surface and edgewear no tears no creasing or chipping no clipped corners. This copy appears to be an advance review or proof copy printed and bound before final details such as price were determined. In any case a hardcover copy is a rarity. An internet search at the time of this writing revealed only paperback copies of this 2005 edition or a later 2014 issue. Its scarcity alone should find it a place in a collection of Forrest's work along with the classic "Curious Wine" and the Kate Delafield mysteries. <br/> <br/> Alyson Books hardcover
