Sci-Fi Buff,
PLOT AND CHARACTERS: After reading through all of this, I can most certainly say that the plot is definitely one of the strong points for this potential blockbuster in the making। You can sense that there will be many battles against Evil and his forces। You can sense that there will be many bloodbaths against those ferocious spiders, and you can sense that when Prophet's team finally breaks into Evil's flying "fortress", that there will be an epic battle to decide the fate of the planet. I like how Prophet takes control of his team and seems to be the glue that keeps it all together. I like the different blend of faces on Prophet's team, from the shape-shifting druid of sorts Swarm, to the ass-kicking Young Dragon….this sort of takes me back to when I was growing up and was watching the "A-Team" on TV. I liked watching the A-Team because they were a group of guys that could ALL kick some ass, and that is the same thing that I like about Prophet's team. They are all characters that are unique and have instant appeal, so for anyone that decides to read this in the future, they will be hooked right away and want to keep on reading. I like how the main villain, Evil, was presented. He looked to be the complete and total personification of evil (no pun intended), but as a nice touch, one of his favorite forms to change into…is a United States Senator. I am very much interested to see how Evil and Prophet will interact once they eventually face off against each other. Evil looks like the kind of villain that will attempt to stay two steps ahead of his enemies…I wonder if Prophet's team will have the smarts to stay right behind him as they work their way towards that eventual confrontation. There are so many things that can be done with all of the characters involved, and I think that a terrific job was done in their creation, because none of the characters are one dimensional and I do believe that any one of them can break off on their own and have a mini-storyline devoted entirely to them. FUN FACTOR: This was certainly a lot of fun to read…my only complaint is that I got greedy and wanted MORE to read just when I was starting to get warmed up! The story is full of action and I could definitely visualize all of the cool effects that the author wanted the reader to imagine. There will be lots of action and violence and bloodshed…all three key ingredients towards making for a nice, fun experience for the reader. I can definitely tell you that I was hooked from the beginning, especially with all of the "guest appearances" at the onset. I definitely can't wait to find out more about Prophet, as I believe that we only got a HINT of some of his powers in this preview. Prophet seems like a character that will be able to connect with the readers, and make them want to root for him to win. A main character who is able to connect with the readers is a surefire recipe for success, and I think that the author did a great job in having Prophet connect with the readers in this preview. FINAL THOUGHTS: This was just a preview, a small sample of things to come, but I have to admit that I was hooked from start to finish. I truly cannot wait until the final product comes out so I can read it through and once again offer my thoughts on the experience. It is a fun read, and I really liked what the author did with the different characters involved. It seems like Evil is going to be one of those talked about bad guys that manages to capture the imagination of his readers just because he is so bad-ass. Of course, being able to mimic a US Senator helps things as well. I am very much interested in seeing how Prophet and his team will be able to work together in order to combat the minions of Evil. Will all of them survive to make it to the fateful final battle against Evil? Those spiders look like they are truly ferocious, and I wonder if one of them will claim a life of one of the members of Team Prophet. Lastly, I cannot stress how important the fun factor was in this preview. You have shape-shifting men, and ferocious spiders, and guys with twenty six eyes walking around on three legs, and floating "fortresses" and people being ripped in half…once again, the author does a terrific job in capturing the imagination of the reader and helping him visualize all of that. A writer that is not able to connect with his readers is dead in the water, but this author knows what his audience wants and he makes sure to give them plenty of it! I cannot wait to read the final edition of this work and I will definitely recommend it to anyone who I think would enjoy reading something like this!


Reveiws on the book # 3doe.



> Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 18:20:04 -0400> From: timtateprod@gmail.com> To: mtorres_66@hotmail.com> Subject: Fwd: basic draft of doe3 As an actress I am often required to read scripts, screenplays, and books. Though science fiction is a genre that I don't seek out as a consumer, I have acted in several science fiction productions. In reading the works of Tim Tate I was excited and hungry to read more. I believe that his vision is interesting, and more importantly intriguing. I was left with a desire to know more about the characters and their journey though a fictional life. I'm sure Mr. Tate's vision will translate beautifully into a creative comic book series, and later, an unprecedented Feature Film. Sincerely, Stephanie.......






The Day of Evil Book 3 has images that stay with you several days after you read it. Most guys will be very interested in the ESPN type commentary and analysis of this new, life risking sport: XR-FIELD. However, I was expecting there to be more of a connection with the "big event" and the massacre. There should be scenes of athletes trying to fight aliens. Since these super athletes are the best earth has to offer, then the audience would really enjoy seeing how long Michael Jordan can stand toe to toe with Shank and Crank. Even if for a few seconds, it would be nice to know Michael Jordan tried to save the world. Some of the descriptions of the alien world are a little far fected. Is it really necessary for Evil's ship to go 600 times the speed of light? The more realistic the numbers are, the more the audience is able to relate to the imaginary world of aliens vs. humans, and the more sympathy Prophet and his team will get for trying to save the world. Tim Tate does a nice job of describing some of Evil's pleasures in life. He watches other aliens get tortured in imaginary chambers, along with "Flesh eating alien spider eggs" devouring human flesh and making every victim a part of their collective. Its similar to 28 Days Later, but he has his own take on it. People that are infected by spiders in this world appear to be everyday people, capable of attacking at their own desire. Madison Bell is a very erotic, and twisted alien that every guy in the world would have serious problems resisting. The scene with the bell boy is great. Especially the specificity the Madison Bell has when she sets her victims up for the final, most pleasurable and torturous night of their lives. I was confused at the choice to make Evil incredibly charming, but yet still ugly. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to have Madison Bell and Evil as two of the most attractive people in the world, and the humans would never saw it coming. Overall, I like the variety of chacters in this book. Everybody has an alien or protector that they can realte to, and Prophet serves as our Everyman, to whom we can turn to when times get rough.
