Set in 2084, Shadows Live Under Seashells is a frighteningly relevant look at the fears that we allow to guide our decisions today and their impact on the future of the United States and, ultimately, all of mankind. The story follows the life of Elliot Fintch, a man raised in a new world order and taught to think, act, and conduct himself as the Administration, mankind's single governing body, dictates. Elliot, because of his profession as an Eductor - a creative thinker - is sent to Mars to investigate a string of murders that have been quietly occurring on the Red Planet for decades. To continue advancing in his profession and maintain favor with the Administration, Elliot must discover why these murders are happening. He must work out how they can be stopped before they become known to the public and raise questions about the Administration's legitimacy to govern.

Shadows Live Under Seashells is a story of one man's enlightenment in what some would consider a Utopian society. It exemplifies the notion that although a seashell may look ornate, bright, and beautiful on the beach, there is always a shadow underneath that could be hiding something ugly, dangerous, or even threatening.

5,0 su 5 stelle Wonderful insight
Recensito in Canada il 8 marzo 2017

I began this book with not a great deal of anticipation or expectation, but was very pleasantly surprised and gratified. This book is a perfect illustration of why science fiction is such an important literature: it allows us to see what we might normally not see against the background of the ordinary, in a completely different context that brings a concept of importance into sharp relief and focus. Upon completion of the book I began immediately to think of circumstances in real life that illustrate perfectly the central idea of the story. Ownership of one's life and person is absolutely critical to a healthy individual and society. Thank you sir for a fine book. I hoped to read more from you.

5,0 su 5 stelle A Business Trip in the World of the Future
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 23 marzo 2014

70 years from now an authoritarian world government called the Administration rules the world. Elliot Fintch is an "eductor" for a corporation with close ties to the Administration. An "eductor" is a sociologist the government uses to control people for their own benefit, to eliminate the problems of crime and poverty from the world. The Administration is an example of how even a benevolent dictatorship eventually brings out the worst in the people.

The authoritarian government, though, is just the backdrop for a story that starts with Elliot's life in a domed city on Earth, his long and involve travel to Mars, and the investigation he conducts once he gets there.

Much of the story focuses on Elliot's trip to Mars. His trip reminds me of business trips in our time. Cab to the airport, security, flight, fill out customs landing card, brief talk with a foreign customs officer, recheck baggage, another flight, collect baggage, figure out how the train works, figure out what the various bills in your wallet are worth, and so on. The process is tedious, but the good side of it is gives you time to think or read, and in 24 hours you're in a very different place.

If you accept going into the book that much of it's about the tedium of business travel, you get a very believable picture of what the future might be like. The level of detail about future travel technology reminds me of the level of detail Kim Stanley Robinson puts into geological features. All the technology and architecture of the future ring true. The authoritarian government rings somewhat true too. It's almost like they carried the argument "if doing XYZ saves the life of even one child, we must do it." over 70 years of decision making and ended up with a society that's essentially a safe and healthful jail.

Note: Ashinoff pointed out "eductor" is not spelled like educator, and I corrected it in this review after his comment.

5,0 su 5 stelle Great Story!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 aprile 2014

Five stars. "Shadows Live Under Seashells" was a captivating read from beginning to end. It extrapolates the misuse of technology to force fit mankind into living one ideological view. Unfortunately, that view sees mankind more like an ant colony than as individual sentient beings and people are directed to live their entire lives serving the colony according to wishes of a controlling few. Non-conformers are reprogrammed or done away with. The hero of the story has special talents, as well as special implants, and is sent on a mission to ferret out non-conformers on the Martian colony. He slowly awakens to what has happened and... well, let's not give away the story here.

There are many subplots woven into this tale that add immensely to the pleasure of reading it. Comparing it to contemporary America illustrates we are or could be on the road to becoming such a colony. The only disappointment is there is no sequel to this work. There ought to be!

A very interesting read. The content is not so far fetched as to not be believable. When you consider today's blind reliance on technology and the drastic effects being presented by climate change to our way of life and our landscape it is easy for the reader to sink into the setting.

As an avid reader, I tend to read books in blocks; that is, one block of time may be soley in the Fantasy genre, while another block may dedicated to SCI FI or Thrillers. I have been on a Sci Fi kick lately and have read some good e-books in the genre and then some not-so-good. I was not sure about Shadows Live Under Seashells, but as it was free, I decided to give it a shot.

I literally just finished the book and had to write a review. If you like a good Sci Fi book that could in fact, at some point in the future, come to pass, then this is a book that I highly recommend. My interest was peeked with the various POV's all leading to the inevitable convergence as the book progressed. I don't want to give anything away, so I am deliberately being vague on specifics. I enjoyed and looked foward to the scenes as they played out and wondered what would come next. The different locations in the book from Earth and its "Domes" to Mars, with its cavernous "Townships" were well described and one can easily "picture" these places easily.

The only down side I see to this e-book is that fact that the author, Allan Ashinoff, doesn't have a sequel to it!
I sincerely hope that Mr.Ashinoff is hard at work writing that sequel!!!
