When cryptic messages begin to appear in the blog threads of a noted skeptic of fringe-ologists (especially the pseudoscientific ideas of ancient astronaut theorists), at first the cyber-attacks are dismissed as esoteric jabberwocky trumpeted by the latest Bay Area cult. Before long, podcasts debunking UFO super-believers are also breached with a strikingly futuristic aesthetic that's as puzzling as the abstruse content. While dealing with these intrusions, there are further problems to contend with at his Silicon Valley condo: the teenage son of his live-in girlfriend has transhuman aspirations and his gorgeous bae (who likes to wear silver spandex bodysuits and perfumes with curious metallic notes) is constantly feeding him a series of mind-melting scenarios, including rumors that his geneticist mom is engaged in covert experiments involving more radical edits to the human genome than are included in Cellectech's glossy brochure for designer babies. Add to this the shadowy secret society that's convinced the phantom web messages pertain to forbidden knowledge redacted from the condensed Garden of Eden myth. For reasons known only by the inner circle of Phoenix Orientum, they suspect the zealously guarded means for rejuvenating humanity has been implanted in the skeptic's head, secured by a nearly impenetrable mind-lock. Being pursued by those with a sinister veneer, while at the same time looking for more prosaic explanations for the paranormal episodes that now plague his daily existence, it's while reluctantly participating as the "balance" in a documentary by startup Paragon Makings that high strangeness challenges any rational interpretations. What awaits is a fateful discovery that even the blogsite weirdies, paleo-contact luminaries and a mischievous pair of bio-hackers could never have imagined.

Not for those who don't want their mind challenged
"The Paragon Junk" by Blair MacKenzie Blake is the much anticipated follow-up to 2018's "The Othering", which I never knew I needed until it ("The Othering") was gifted to me on the window of my car in the parking lot of a Vegas area shopping center in what I can only assume was some bizarre form of street-marketing, but not the unwanted kind such as pamphlets for take-out food or joining a cult.Thankfully "The Paragon Junk" stands well on its own, for those who didn't have the same fortune as I, as I'm told "The Othering" was in limited quantities and is otherwise hard to obtain. Blair's writings never disappoint, and "The Paragon Junk" is the latest to meet that bar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Fringe Fiction!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2021

For those growing bored of mundane fiction, this is a series I HIGHLY recommend. Especially if you gravitate towards subjects involving UFOs or the occult. While this book arguably can be appreciated on its own, before reading I STRONGLY recommend finishing “The Othering” (1st book in BMB’s series). Best advice I can give is taking a full day to fully appreciate and digest the details of each book. Greatly executed/detailed narrative, with enough follow-up content to keep curios of all levels occupied. Can’t wait until the next chapter!

I’ve been a fan of the author for many years. His gift for divine esoteric prose is unparalleled. His newest novel, The Paragon Junk, is no exception. Weaving humor, suspense, and paranormal oddities into a unique narrative of cosmic fascination it will captivate and compel you with each segue. Buy it now before it sells out, it’s well worth the limited edition investment.
