<p><strong>TV Presenter JULIETTE FOSTER: </strong> 'Pearson&rsquo;s galactic-sized imagination delivers a compelling image of a chic, high-tech society infused with a toxic strain that feeds on extreme violence. It&rsquo;s a disturbingly twisted vision of the future and Pearson&rsquo;s tough, unflinching narrative almost dares the reader to look away from the monstrousness. Don&rsquo;t, because Milla Carter, his feisty, sexy heroine, is the weapon of retribution.<br />
<br />
<em>A Time To Prey&nbsp;</em>is a gripping read that boldly and intelligently explores the vision of an ugly, amoral future in which goodness must fight for survival. In this dystopian nightmare, privacy is non-existent, life is cheap, killers have fan clubs, while the only individuals who count for something are those with money. Milla&rsquo;s crusade has a biblical quality in which she is elevated as a force of hope against the corporate anti-Christ of the Body Holiday Foundation. Good will survive, but at what cost?&nbsp;<br />

For anyone offended by swearing, violence and explicit sex then&nbsp;<em>A Time To Prey</em>&nbsp;won&rsquo;t be an easy read. Yet it&rsquo;s worth remembering that nothing about the content is gratuitous. Pearson is simply encouraging us to think about the type of future we could end up getting. The blunt &lsquo;in your face&rsquo; tone of the narrative may be crude, but it works.'</p><p><strong>Lethal is rarely this lovely</strong></p><p>Sensuous telepath Milla Carter&nbsp;knows that a business which generates dollars from selling extreme pornography and murder as &lsquo;quality entertainment&rsquo;, won&rsquo;t roll over easily. She&rsquo;ll have to use her lightening quickness and enhanced senses like never before if she&rsquo;s to outwit and annihilate both the Body Holiday&nbsp;Foundation and its hired assassin. For the sleekly-beautiful Su-Nami, part human/part machine, killing is a game and the spoils an edible feast.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
