Alvin Baylor Lives! is a work of fiction in the science fiction, adventure, and action subgenres. The work is best suited to mature readers owing to the presence of explicit
language, graphic violence, and references to drug use. Penned by author Maximilian Gray, the plot follows the titular character Alvin Baylor, a cyber-athlete whose career ends in scandal, leaving him stuck in a dead-end job in a fractured future North America. When his corporate overlords offer to erase his debts in exchange for delivering a mysterious prototype to an asteroid-mining colony, Alvin sees a chance for redemption. However, aboard the starship Hope, he discovers hidden dangers, including a deadly assassin intent on stealing the prototype.
Author Maximilian Gray has crafted a brilliant adventure that offers sci-fi fans everywhere an exhilarating journey into a futuristic world filled with intrigue and danger. I was immediately drawn into the action by the vivid world-building and fast- paced storytelling, which leaps off the page with a smooth, confident narrative style. The character of Alvin Baylor is complex and compelling, with his struggles and redemption arc making for a gripping narrative. I enjoyed the close narrative style and the unique, witty dialogue touches that tell you exactly who he is right from the start. The blend of cyberpunk elements, space exploration, and high-stakes action made for an immersive and entertaining read that blends and balances different elements well. As Alvin navigates the twists and turns of the plot, facing both external threats and internal demons, the suspense builds to a thrilling climax that is logical and satisfying.

over the show and left for NY, the space was vacated. It is now the Blizzard Arena. A place for games-maker Blizzard to showcase their latest and greatest games in public competition. Hardly an arena – it’s more of a large theater where the teams play, color commentary of the game is spoken and a giant jib arm pans overhead for dynamic shots of the players. The crowd was young – under forty, and most were staring at multiple screens – eyes flitted from the giant LCD to tiny phone displays in their hands. I’d say a third of the spectators were playing a cell-phone game while they watched the competition. Take note, these folks could later be playing the game itself, if the games-makers get savvy.
HOTS (Heroes of the Storm) is another MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena), but it’s got the Blizzard polish. I sat down a few days before the tournament and got myself immersed in the game. Basically, it’s a 5-on-5 team battle for control of a map. Destroy the enemy’s keep and you win. It’s surprisingly fun and I appreciated the way the class mechanics are modeled on World of Warcraft. It was easy to learn the attack rotations based on that experience. It was more enjoyable than League of Legends (a different MOBA) for this basic familiarity. That being said, I dislike over-head views and mouse-click movement controls. I prefer to be in the action. WOW’s arenas had close-up tactical combat and I wish it could be wrapped into the HOTS experience. There’s no reason why a graphics engine couldn’t take us down into the fight – oh wait. The game is free. My guess is they don’t want to spend on development for complex graphics and controls. They want a free game to run on any crap computer. Oh, well. In short, it’s a fun game if you have friends and free time to study the classes and builds. Think of it like fantasy chess – with a colorful cast of animated characters and environments standing in for the pieces and game board.
