author Gene Brewer
in 2014, my review of K-PAX V went online @ SF-Zonehttp://www.zone-sf.com/wordworks/kpaxfive.html
rereading Gene Brewer's K-PAX V over the Xmas break reinforces my opinion that...
a) Gene is one of the best speculative writers on the scene at the moment.
b) he's probably never going to forgive me for my 3/5 review of his fifth novel in the K-PAX series.
to which I say, "Of all the species on this Free Planet, mankind is one ludicrously half-baked fuck-wit of a race who will do anything they're told in the name of some insane corporate fantasy scenario involving their over-hyped and improbable GODMATIC claim to immortality."
I reiterate to Gene, who no longer answers my emails, publicly via this Free Planet blog, "K-PAX was way ahead of its time and the thoughts and passions of 'prot' were the major stimulus behind what became the Free Planet vs War World dual/duelling trilogies. Gene Brewer, I implore you, please go back in and eradicate the AFTERWORD chapter from the back end of K-PAX V. They go away, they come back, they tell of their findings. Done. Five stars. New K-PAX movie reboot."
Show what would most likely happen, make man think.
