What readers say about KINGSLEY:
I have never read a story like this one… It’s thought-provoking, shocking and very timely.
It includes just enough science to make the story believable and just enough what-if fantasy to keep me guessing. The huge plot twist in the middle of the book… was a stunner.
In Kingsley Carolyn O’Neal succeeds in writing an entertaining, creative, thought provoking novel which may just help save the world… well at least give each reader a look into what could be in store if we don’t each do our part for our planet and our environment… I highly recommend this book!
What a riveting read!
The action-packed storyline will keep you on the edge of your seat!
A fantastic read! Nothing quite like it out there.
It was a great reminder that the way we live and the things we do every day can have a major impact on the environment… Definitely recommend this book!
