The Problem with Uncle Teddy's Memoir: A Speculative Fiction Romantic Adventure Mystery (The Aleronde Trilogy) - Softcover
The Problem with Uncle Teddy's Memoir:A Speculative Fiction Romantic Adventure Mystery by Ed Charlton.
Theo Kingman inherited a problem--great-uncle Teddy's unpublished memoir of an impossible life in the fabulous place called Aleronde. Why is Theo sending only certain chapters to publisher and childhood friend, Curt? Why does Curt find Teddy's descriptions disturbingly familiar?
In copied letters, collected emails, office notes, and of course, the pages of Uncle Teddy's own manuscript, Ed Charlton pieces together a tale of empire, conquest, slavery, betrayal, romance, adventure, and mystery. Is it speculative? Is it even fiction at all...?
"This witty experiment follows the correspondence surrounding an enigmatic manuscript. Deftly balancing the manners of the modern world with the towering revelations of great science fiction, Ed Charlton's novel is an adventure for the mind and serious fun!"
Jason Ronstadt - The Odd Way Home

Review:
Theo Kingman's Uncle Teddy had an interesting life, apparently more interesting than anyone had realized...
The Problem with Uncle Teddy's Memoir is a clever and elegantly presented tale, released, like the title manuscript, in bits and pieces to the reader. Every letter and every excerpt from the memoir reveals something new about Uncle Teddy, his beloved Aleronde, and how he got from his privileged childhood to his current life in England.
The story unfolds with deceptive gentleness, showing Teddy's youthful optimism...showing off the beauties of Aleronde and praising its power, but the astute reader will be able to see the cracks in the glorious facade.
Teddy's character is well-drawn,whole and thoughtful. The book is short,but full of twists and turns, and the author deftly paints Teddy's growing concerns, Curt's growing fear, and Theo's careful revelations until finally,the true danger emerges, almost startling in its vividness after the slow but steady buildup.
The Problem with Uncle Teddy's Memoir is a tantalizing, disturbing little story, carefully and lovingly designed to maximize suspense and provoke thought.
