Singular Dualiity by Lawrence E. Maynard is a complex and immersive science fiction story set in an imaginative universe. The narrative follows the intertwining destinies of alien characters from different worlds, particularly focusing on Geminian and Castorian executives engaged in high-stakes negotiations and power struggles. At its core, the story explores themes of identity, power, and legacy through the unique concept of "Dualiity," where life essences and consciousness merge and diverge. Readers are drawn into a tale filled with political intrigue, cosmic mysteries, and personal conflicts as characters wrestle with secret pasts, forbidden desires, and the fate of their clans. The story offers a blend of action, suspense, and philosophical reflections on existence and power, set against the backdrop of advanced technologies and mystical energies.

In Singular Dualiity by Lawrence E. Maynard, Nimon Edison is implicated in the apparent murder of his Dual, Starn, and faces trial before the Geminian Council, while simultaneously investigating the disappearance of his father, Dr. Nicholas Edison, and managing interference from the K’Tar and Castorian forces. Meanwhile, Novas contends with Legotian manipulation, regains her physical form, and studies the impact of ancient artifacts, including the Phoenos crystals, on her lineage and the present. Morgan Descartes and his team on the Darwin monitor interstellar crises, including espionage, meteor impacts, and Castorian movements, supporting Nimon and coordinating intelligence. Throughout, Nimon trains in survival and psychic techniques, Novas uncovers the history of her family and her Dual T’Poch, and both address conspiracies that threaten their people.

-The writing is exquisite: the diction, meter, pacing, characters, world creation, are national level.
It is one of the few books I have read in my life that reminds me of a Piers Anthony novel. In fact, it would be hard for me to believe the author has not read some Piers Anthony novel.
This book has scientific references that are almost like inside jokes or easter eggs from disparate fields of science. I was puzzled and impressed by them. I recognized most, but I would say that even half of my scientist friends would not recognize more than 30 percent of them. Evidently, the author has "degrees in Chemistry and Biology" and must have some enthusiasm beyond their degrees. The plot is really well written. The plot and the writing must have taken a lot of work.

-Brilliant writing. Highly recommend.

Lawrence E. Maynard's writing skillfully balances a detailed and carefully paced plot with deep character development and evocative world-building. The story flows smoothly, maintaining tension and intrigue without overwhelming the reader, even as it tackles complex ideas like time manipulation and bio-genetics. Characters are vividly drawn, especially in their emotional struggles and moral dilemmas, which add a personalized, human touch to the grand cosmic scale of the narrative. The themes of desire, control, and the consequences of power resonate strongly and invite thoughtful reflection. The language is clear and accessible, making the sophisticated concepts engaging rather than confusing. Singular Dualiity feels like an invitation into an epic journey where every revelation deepens the mystery and every character’s choice shapes a larger destiny. It’s a compelling read for those who enjoy thoughtful science fiction with depth and heart.

Singular Dualiity, book one in Lawrence E. Maynard's Singular Dualiity Duology, is a science fiction novel that moves forward at warp speed, ticking all the mandatory boxes: universal politics, strategy, and some really incredible action. Maynard does well in maintaining focus, and we can see the skill and resourcefulness of the characters, whether it is Nimon operating antigrav stasis or Descartes facing Steth aboard the Castorian vessel. I love the incorporation of artifacts and alliances, for better or for worse, like the Mitronian crystal and the relationships between Castorians, Geminians, and K’Tar forces. Singular Dualiity is an intelligently written, imaginative story that promises more to come. Luckily, there is no wait, and readers who enjoy this installment as much as I did can jump straight into book two, Duall Singularity, as it has already been released. Very highly recommended.

Singular Dualiity delivers a bold, imaginative sci-fi read with the energy and pacing of a graphic novel. Lawrence E. Maynard builds a vast universe filled with advanced technologies, alien cultures, and high-stakes action. I enjoyed the creativity and ambition in the story. The scenes feel like panels ripped from a comic book: cinematic, intense, and packed with movement. Readers who enjoy fast-moving, visual storytelling will find plenty to love here. What stood out most is how visually the story reads: every scene feels like it bursts with color and motion, almost as if you can “see” the action happening frame by frame. The world-building is dense and ambitious, and even when the prose leans into heavy symbolism, the imagination behind it is clear. With its unique writing style, big ideas, and relentless sense of motion, Singular Dualiity is a creative journey through a universe brimming with mystery, conflict, and interstellar intrigue. It’s the kind of book that will appeal to readers who enjoy action, complexity, and a strong sense of cosmic adventure.Click below to get  your copy
