Us Girls & A Book: The Digital Now by Roland Allnach WITH Review

Us Girls & A Book: The Digital Now by Roland Allnach WITH Review: Science Fiction

Week 2 of the digital tour starts off with this review from 'Us Girls & A Book':

"This story takes place in the future.  It is not all that unbelievable that this situation could exist.  Earth has been destroyed by taking and not replacing natural resources.  The humans remaining on earth have been implanted with chips at a young age. At that time, they are harvested of any reproductive abilities. These "parts" are then used to create new humans with the proper abilities to survive.  The babies are then placed with the appropriate parents to grow up.  At each stage of development - children, teens, adults - they are trained and their minds wiped clean of any memories of a personal nature.

But what happens when something causes someone to start remembering their past?  Can they evade the authorities and avoid a mind sweep?

"I took away a half of a star because the beginning of the book left more questions than answers.  Yes, later in the book you get an explanation but it takes away the beginning of the story if you don't know what things are or what is meant.  This can deter many readers because of the confusion.  The story seems slow to start.  I did read the entire story because I have a hard time giving up on a book.  It did take me longer than usual to read because the story didn't really "grip" me.  I know some people will really like this book.

"If you like stories of the future after the destruction of earth you will like this one. If you like books of programming and controlling the population by a select few, this will be right up your alley."

The Indie Express: Blog Tour: The Digital Now by Roland Allnach with ...: Science Fiction

The blog tour rolls on with two stops today. First up: 'The Indie Express':

"Roland Allnach has created a wonderful new world for us to dive into. He did a great job of giving us backstory and having us learn about what kind of environment the characters were dealing with.

Wonderfully paced and Multi Dimensional characters really set this novel up for success."

Second stop: 'The Steamy Side':

"As always when first diving into a new world created by an author, there are many questions and catching up to do. I think Roland Allnach did a good job of explaining his world and characters, but could have done with a bit more detail in certain aspects. 

"That was really the only downfall of the novel though and it wasn't even really that huge of a deal. Other than that the pacing and plot of the novel was very well done. There was plenty of action and it really kept my attention throughout!"

That brings week one to a close; stay tuned for week 2!  Follow along at Reading Addiction Virtual Book Tours.

My Reading Addiction: Blog Tour: The Digital Now by Roland Allnach #revi...: Science Fiction..

Two blog stops today. The second drops by with another review:



"Carly is a character that while is lovable, is kind of frustrating at times. I think she is a solid character and shows that while characters have flaws, they are still fun to read about.

"The plot is full of exciting twists along the way and quite easy to follow.

"The world that Roland Allnach has created is vivid and fun to become absorbed in."


Carly is a complex character going through some very difficult situations. Her story functions on several levels, and balancing all these elements was an enjoyable challenge. Given her perspective and the conditions under which she lives, there are times where she's pushed into a corner, and her frustration lashes out. Such is life and, as they saying goes, you don't really learn who you are until you're put to the test.

Stay tuned for the rest of the tour dates at Reading Addiction...

Tour stop number two, and another great review:



"I really enjoyed the pacing and how it was steady throughout. It is fast paced and doesn't let up and didn't have moments that dragged. It made for a fast and furious read.

"It really shined light on the characters and world in general.

"I liked that this was sci-fi but also had many other qualities that made it lovable to readers of suspense, humor, and fiction in general."

On this first stop of my two week virtual book tour, 'The Digital Now' is greeted with a great review:

"I'm a huge sci-fi fan and this novel

Carly is a strong main character who had a lot of great qualities to her and made her easy to connect to.

Great, Sci Fi novel and writing from Roland Allnach. The world he has created is so vivid and really helps the reader feel like they are there with the characters.

A strong and fast paced plot will keep you invested the entire way through."
