In a distant future, Trevor "Lex" Alexander was shaping up to be the next great race pilot until a fixed race got him banned from the sport. Reduced to making freelance deliveries, he thinks his life can't get any worse. That's when a package manages to get him mixed up with mobsters, a megacorp, and a mad scientist. Now his life depends on learning what their plans are, and how he can stop them.
Bypass Gemini Big Sigma Book 1 eBook Joseph Lallo
I picked this up because I've read a couple of books in Lallo's Book of Deacon series. He is certainly a good story-teller, and I found Bypass Gemini to be entertaining and a good companion when I'm waiting for public transport. It's not too hard to put down, though (which works for me), so if you're looking for a riveting tale that keeps you up at night, this may not quite fit the bill.I really enjoyed all the side characters that the protagonist interacts with. Another reviewer may have said this already but I feel like there's strong potential for these side characters to have their own spin-off novels to tell their stories. There's not a ton of character development, but if you're looking for a nice way to pass the time, this book will be good company on a relaxing day.

Bypass Gemini Big Sigma Book 1 eBook Joseph Lallo Reviews
Bypass Gemini is the latest book from Book of Deacon author, Joseph Lallo - and his first science fiction novel. This novel introduces us to Trevor "Lex" Alexander, a disgraced, former professional racer, who now makes ends meet as a limo driver, 'bike messenger', and by accepting the odd job of delivering items using less than legit methods. Throughout the novel, we follow Lex as he gets involved in what would seem to be a preposterous series of encounters with gangsters, corporate cops, Karter - an insane inventor, and one very advanced AI known as 'Ma'. But the great thing is that Lallo manages to weave all of this into the story and make it work.
The author keeps the story moving, and doesn't drag it down with a lot of, imo, unnecessary technical explanations. Many times, we're told that the hero himself doesn't understand how something works. Lallo's characters are interesting, though not a lot of development is given to characters other than Lex - though as the story is told entirely from his viewpoint, that is quite understandable.
Joseph Lallo has created a great setting here. He's already announced on his website that he's working on a sequel to this book, and I for one will be anxious to read more about Lex, and his supporting cast of friends - particularly Karter and Ma. If I could, I'd have rated this as 4.5 stars.
I'm never sure what to expect when I pick up any of the indie/self-published books, it's always a crapshoot. Thankful this book proved to be a hit.
This book is a space opera that follows the adventure of former race champion turned delivery boy, Trevor "Lex" Alexander. During one of his "unauthorized" deliveries, Lex stumbles upon a scheme that could alter the galaxy. With the "help" of a mad engineer (don't call him a scientist), Lex will try to save the day.
One of the things that I just loved about this book is the characters. The dialog was funny and the interactions made me really dig this book. The author also does a nice job building his universe with the different kinds of spacecraft, planets, and governing bodies. He even does a nice job explaining some of a more futuristic elements such as space travel, and how some of the devices in the universe work.
If you're looking for a light-hearted space opera then give Bypass Gemini a shot. I know I'm definitely reading more books in this series.
An excellent book that follows in the footsteps of some of my favorite classic science fiction authors.
The characters are described with a physical description, which I really appreciate, and then they act on who they are. Young Mr. Alexander learns a number of lessons during his extended adventure not least of which what he believes in. The crazy inventor is absolutely priceless and the story even has a romantic bit. My favorite part of this author's writing style is the inclusion of established science and it's possible uses in the everyday lives of future peoples.
I can't wait to read the next book and would recommend this one to anyone who loves true science fiction with just a touch of comedy.
What first drew me (aside from the unbeatable price) was the gorgeous cover. I try not to judge a cover too harshly because I know they're hard to get right, but this one is so good and makes me wish the book existed on physical form because it would look great on a bookshelf. Fortunately this book has a lot more to offer than just a pretty cover.
FORMATTING AND READABILITY
While still on the superficial side of things, one of my few gripes with the work has to do with formatting. While there's nothing strictly wrong about how certain things are done, there were several things that did throw me off a tiny bit. The use of #s as the indicator for a scene change were easy for me to miss, especially the first time it was used. Spacing is off in certain paragraphs and I would have liked a bit more out of the headings. Having it be a tad bigger or maybe a slightly more interesting font would have just added a lot to the visual experience. Here's the thing though, these are literally the worst editorial issues that exist in this enitre novel. I ran into no grammar, spelling, punctuation, or any other editorial mistakes. Seeing as how it's not uncommon to come across one or two of those even in books supported by big name publishers, this level of technical excellence is really impressive.
PLOT / TONE
One of the best parts of the book is its fantastically paced narrative. There's a bit of hard SciFi mixed in with a really charming noir sort of feel. There's a lot of contrast to be found, but it's not cartoonish. Everything and everyone in the story is extremely vivid in the best way possible and at no point did I feel the plot drag. We're introduced to Lex, the main character, in the middle of a tense space crash and then we go back to meet him as a down on his luck ex-racer who lost everything to some poor decisions. He runs a lot of odd jobs, one of them less legal than the others. He runs a courier service which circumvent the normal and accepted travel routes from planet to planet, all of which are controlled by a dictatorial travel and communications company called Vector Corp. One such package contains something this company wants returned to them and Lex gets himself mixed up into something far more complex than he agreed to.
CHARACTERS
The characters are a rather motley crew, even for SciFi. I don't know if I would say they are all likeable, but they are very distinct. There are also a couple the get introduced early on and don't play a huge part until the end, but they are eventually addressed further. In fact, all of the moving parts are brought together in a decidedly natural way which adds a lot to the believability of the world. There were definitely points where I just wanted a character that I could like. Lex is a strong protagonist to be sure, but he's probably not the type I'd want to hang out with. The same can be said for a lot of the personalities I this story. A lot of people enjoy casts like this, but I find it draining after a while. That said, I came to like a large portion of the cast quite a bit more towards the end of the story when things really start coming together and characters develop a bit. Neither Lex, nor many of the side characters are the same as when they were first introduced which felt really rewarding to me as a reader.
WORLD
The world is another major highlight to this work. The mildly dystopian element complements the cloak and dagger SciFi quite nicely. There are several planets that Lex goes to and each feels really interesting and distinct. The exotic and varied locales are a large contributor to how much character this work has and played a large part in why I cared about the events of the book. Since these places are a large part of what drives the plot, not to mention where a lot of the fun comes from during the adventure, it's hard to say more without spoilers.
CONCLUSION
It’s been a very long time since I’ve read this type of science fiction and it has been even longer since I read one with this level of quality. I may not have loved all the characters, but I liked how my perceptions of a lot of them changed as the story progressed onward. Many were used in really interesting ways. There were a number of points where I felt like some of the more important ones were underused only to have them come up in a critical way during the final chapters and prove me completely wrong. The action sequences were great and not super over-the-top so as to distract from the story. The ending also is a nice wrap-up to the main story threads while still leaving the door open for more stories. This is the type of ending that I love because I hate cliffhangers, especially when they come at the end of the first book in the series. I’m excited to see where the other two books in the trilogy take things. I want to see what becomes of these characters and how Lallo improves upon the narrative and world(s) in the next installments so I will definitely be picking them up in the near future.
I picked this up because I've read a couple of books in Lallo's Book of Deacon series. He is certainly a good story-teller, and I found Bypass Gemini to be entertaining and a good companion when I'm waiting for public transport. It's not too hard to put down, though (which works for me), so if you're looking for a riveting tale that keeps you up at night, this may not quite fit the bill.
I really enjoyed all the side characters that the protagonist interacts with. Another reviewer may have said this already but I feel like there's strong potential for these side characters to have their own spin-off novels to tell their stories. There's not a ton of character development, but if you're looking for a nice way to pass the time, this book will be good company on a relaxing day.
