Live Forever or Die Trying
Revisado: 12-05-24
This story is about the chase to obtain the cure of short life. In this story the secret to longevity is discovered by a scientist but that is just where the story starts. Now come the dark forces intent on seizing the long sought formula and putting it to uses of their own. The author claims knowledge and expertise in real science, and I can only assume he's right about peptides and stem cells (and more) but the real sounding science adds zest to an already fascinating subject: how to live forever and what desperate people will do to possess that secret.

Historia
Jack was never “right,” but that’s a lot of what made him magnetic to other people. When he was younger, he was that guy that girls wanted to be around. People were drawn in by him, even later on when there wasn’t much of him left. I never understood that. He never really put a lot of energy into grooming and maintaining relationships with people. I guess when you see someone that is content spending their time alone, it creates a vacuum and people flood in like water choking a storm drain.

Let's Get Book 2
Revisado: 11-12-24
This book is different. I suspect we can assume from the title (which includes the notation "Book One") that this is the start of a series, like something you would see on Netflix.
If so, it's off to a good start.
I like novels that have strong characters and a strong sense of place. This audiobook has both in spades. The characters are quirky, but not lightweight. They are interesting, and compelling, the kind of people you want to know more about. And it's not that you are shortchaged on backstory. The main character Ben had a crack addicted brother who was murdered, his dad is a blue collar worker in blue collar South Tacoma, his track in life is skateboarder, punk band follower, townie university student, accidental prosecutor in the Seattle city attorney's office. That, by the way, is the office that handles misdemeanors in Seattle, the JV of prosecutors in Seattle, while the snooty varsity struts around up the road in Superior Court.
The sense place in this story is supercharged. Tacoma, or more particularly South Tacoma, Seattle, the University of Washington (U Dub) and Yakima are the three corners of the story's triangle (U Dub and Seattle are essentially the same place). Maybe it's just me but I got a very strong sense of all three places, and how they fit into the character of the main characters, blue collar white boy Ben (turned lawyer/prosecutor), and up from the mud Latina Maria, also a lawyer/prosecutor.
And Ben has his prejudices up the ying yang, the kind that almost anyone can tap into. He despises the public defender's office, not because they defend miscreants but because for some unknown reason they are all recruited from stuck up east coast schools like Harvard and Yale, and are rich white kids arriving in Seattle as do gooders, poseurs who don't actually need the job, but are doing something to lighten the load of, as Ben describes it, their "three tons of white guilt."
He hates them. They hardly notice, because they think they're above noticing an upstart like Ben. Until one in particular smart asses him in the men's room, and Ben pisses on his leg. Then they steer clear.
It's in the last few chapters that backstory emerges into what will be the thrust of what I assume will be the following books: Ben's love life, or put more accurately, his sex life that hints there may be love involved someday. Maybe.
At the end of Book One he is dodging the upper crust blond east coast hottie who is assumes because they've been having sex, they have a relationship (Ben thinks that's absurd.) Instead he's falling in bed with the poor girl from Latino Yakima, whose parents and grandparents were/are struggling farm workers. Maria is also a prosecutor in the Domestic Violence Unit, and as we end Book One, awaiting Book two, just as we might with a hit Netflix series, she and Ben are two misfit dissidents about to embark on a voyage in the sheets.
I assume Christopher Stockwell is writing Book Two as I write this review. Hurry up Christopher.

Historia
Detectives never found the knife used to murder Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. They thought it was in a small backpack dumped at LAX the night of the murders. They assumed it disappeared in an LA County landfill. OJ's Knife tells a different tale. Two airport workers found the backpack in the trash. Unaware the murder weapon was inside, they planned to return the “lost” backpack to OJ. When OJ was arrested the next day, LAX workers Gordon Grove and his friend Luther Malcolm realized they had the murder weapon. So what now?
