Well Wrought Hallucinatory Space Fiction!

"I greatly enjoyed listening to Charles R. Hinckley's novel INFINITY 7, a novel that falls loosely in the territory of the near-future science fiction of films like 2001 and the original SOLARIS.
Hinckley creates a convincing world, with an effective, almost mundane, space travel scenario that suddenly goes wildly haywire with startling bursts of Philip K. Dick-like hallucinatory imagery. His alien concepts are very visual... and, well, alien.

The initial chapters stretch out a bit too long, I'd say, but once the protagonist, John Collins, gets into space, the tale rock and rolls in earnest.

The near-future tech is convincing and well visualized. I especially enjoyed Collins' dealings with AI and holographic technology, which add some humor to the story without being overplayed, in particular his issues with an errant floating video camera.
Nate Marble's reading of the novel is strong, maintaining a good pace while avoiding overly facile vocal characterizations, which I hate in audiobooks.
Overall all, I strongly recommend INFINITY 7."

Psychic Detective Novel, Dream State is "funny", and sharp, with "great characters."

 5.0 out of 5 stars A mash-up somewhere between Raymond Chandler and Doctor Strange.

I quite enjoyed Charles R. Hinckley’s novel, Dream State.

"The psychic detective genre, in general, is a tricky one, a mash-up somewhere between Raymond Chandler and Doctor Strange. Hinckley pulls it off by writing well. He grounds his characters solidly in a New York I could recognize, and gives them realistic, often humorous dialog. This makes the fantastical excursions into August Chase’s pre-cognitive “dream state” more compelling. On top of that, the writing is extremely visual, forcefully propelling Chase through a complex series of interrelated encounters in both this world and the next, and bringing it all to a satisfying resolution. It’s a book worth your attention."
