Darra's Review:
The Schwarzschild Radius is shocking, raw and riveting. I was awestruck with the story line. I cannot believe this could possibly happen. However I know this is a possibility it may be based off true events. My heartbeat was going a million miles an hour.
The plot was fantastic. The book was well written and gives the details needed to make it so you know all the characters. I don't know if I can explain all of what happens. There are many stories in one that all come together in the end.
There are unimaginable things that happen to the sisters and other girls. When the end was near in the book, I was sitting at the edge of my seat with a lump in my throat..
Amazing and gritty. I cannot do The Schwarzschild Radius justice explaining how I feel about the book. It is refreshing to read a book that is unique and it will remain one I will always remember.
I rate the book a 4.5.
EXCERT:
Ancient Greek
philosophers used a face-slapping technique to engrain a point in the student’s
mind; here, it conveyed the truth that the girl was going to die.
The Webmaster activated the camera, and Olivia Wallen’s
image traveled across four continents. Her jet-black hair was cut in bangs
across the forehead in the classic China-doll style. Her voluptuous American
figure was incongruent with her Thai features and was accented by the red
Brazilian bikini which offered a triangle of coverage in the crotch.
“Turn around,” said the voice. She did so, revealing the
flawlessness of her back and legs.
“The skin is like pearl,” said the Webmaster, now
addressing the others via web cam. “As you like it in the East. She is
five-feet six inches tall. Her measurements are 32-24-33.”
The clients on the other side of the world were
impressed. Men like Masutatsu Nakayama, Vladimir Zeitkin and Mohammad Qasim.
Vladimir
Zeitkin’s loyalty to Putin had won him his own oil company and now he spent his
time competing with Paul Allen of Microsoft fame by building the biggest yacht
in the world. He collected Greek and Roman statuary and Nazi art looted during
World War II. But it took time to build mega-yachts and while the static images
of paintings were sublime, the living, breathing art of torture, suffering and
death redefined beauty.
And there was
Mohammad Qasim. There was little entertainment in Saudi Arabia despite his oil
billions. He had taken pleasure for a while in abusing the Filipina housemaids
he brought in for his entertainment and that of his friends. But that grew
dull. He sponsored a small jihad organization and followed their exploits as he
followed Manchester United, but blowing up anonymous infidels got repetitive.
Now, without leaving his office, he
could witness what surpassed even the public beheadings and honor killings he’d
seen.
Masutatsu Nakayama was a man for whom all things had
become tiresome. Now retired from industry with an estimated fortune of
two-billion dollars, he was on a quest for
the few experiences he had left unvisited. And this site gave it to him.
While other sex sites
featured photos and videos, the Webmaster’s had live captives. He performed
whatever the clients requested. And in the end, they always requested death.
This left no doubt that the girls were not actors. The manner of death came
from the depths of the subconscious. He had performed hangings, beheadings,
electrocutions, tooth extractions, dismemberments. Occasionally they requested
a boy, but usually it was a young girl. The clients voted on the type of
victim, the race, age, even social standing. For some of these men, it was
their first experience in democracy. Payment consisted of a wire transfer to a
Cayman Islands bank account. Half due on winning the auction; half after
delivery of the product. The clients paid an initial membership fee, then bid
on what they wanted done to the victim. The abuse lasted until the clients
agreed that it was time for execution. This, too, was put up for auction and
only the winner received the final product. The winning bidder received the
exclusive live stream and download of his request. It was the eBay of agony.
