After 27 years as a newspaper man, Peter Anderson’s career is slipping away, at least it was, until he stumbled upon the story of a lifetime. Sent to do a fluff piece about lights in the night sky over Arizona, he discovers far more than he ever expected when he comes upon a mysterious young woman held prisoner in a basement. After helping her to escape, she disappears before he can learn the … truth about who she is or where she came from. His search for her leads him back to the lights in the sky and leaves him with more questions than answers. The only thing he knows for certain . . . the only thing he can count on are the two words offered repeatedly by his friend and guide . . . “IS BELT.”

Something has to be said about finding a good book that has a nice touch of thriller. BOB by Tegon Maus gave me exactly what I was looking for. A good book that had me sitting on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out who BOB was.
The main character happens to be Peter Anderson – a newspaper man looking for THE STORY of his life. I definitely enjoyed going through the motions of finding out what was truly going on. I have to say that I was impressed by the authors ability to weave a storyline that was believable as well as well-developed characters. I definitely enjoyed this book and all it had to offer. This book was a definite 4 Star Book for me.
BOB by Teagon Maus was a very fast read. It is a science fiction story that I have to admit was confusing and a little hard to follow. BOB was born in Russia and while I completely understand the need for certain accents, his was just hard to read and made most of the story uninteresting to me. As for the rest of the story, in the beginning, Pete and I seemed to be just as confused in all situations. It seems like there could have been a lot more explanation on things and then maybe I would have understood. There were a lot of concepts that were new to me as I’m not an avid Syfi reader but they were hard to understand and get into. Now although everything seemed jumbled and confusing, I did see a lot of potential in the story so I’m sure people who read this genre more would understand and enjoy better than I did.
Bob by Tegon Maus was a fun, complex read that will have you spinning in circles, while laughing out loud.
My first read by this author in a genera that I don’t venture in that often, I was pleased and impressed with not only the writing but, the mix of mystery, humour and seriousness.
Lets start with the writing. It was engaging, easy to follow and it had a weird tone that just pulled you in. It was almost eerie, like you could feel something strange was going on, but with the easy and off beat why Bob turned situations around, you’re not quite sure if anything otherworldly is going on. That gave this unique read that extra something special that really drove the hooks home.
I could not stop reading this book, and being that it’s only 168 pages, before I knew it, I was at the last page, and trying to flip for more.. no seriously I thought my reader was broken. Now I’m not saying the ending wasn’t closing, but it felt opened, and I was all already for another chapter.. You got me Tengon Maus.. PS I want another book..
Overall this is a high recommend from me. This book is quirky, different, and it’s fun as hell. There is so much going on, the plot starts to build from the first shocking chapter, right on wards, and as more weird and strange character are added, it just adds to the complexity of this freaking amazing read. You really don’t know what’s what, until it hits you in the face. Get this book, you will love it!
Happy Reading

BOB by Tegon Maus is a great Sci-fi story that has so much more going for it that you would expect from such an unassuming name. As soon as I saw this title pop up in my feed I was tempted to ignore it because, well, BOB didn’t really inspire anything in me- but I decided to read the blurb anyway and that sparked my curiosity as I really enjoy a good science fiction/fantasy story. I am happy that I took a chance on this book, because it was really entertaining! Tegon Maus has created a very original story that is full of imagination and wonder. The story is different from a lot of others in this genre and I found it very intriguing- it definitely kept me guessing the whole way through. I don’t want to reveal too much or give away spoilers, I really think this book is one of those ones you should dive into blind and let the author and storyline surprise you.
The characters are fully developed, interesting, somewhat quirky, and likeable individuals. They definitely weren’t what I was expecting when I first started the book. It was a pleasure getting to know them along the way.
Tegon Maus has a bold, vivid, descriptive and inviting style- which made this story come alive.
I am very interested in reading more of this author’s work!
Thank you, Tegon Maus!

I have to be honest and say I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy this book, Science Fiction isn’t a genre I usually read but the blurb seemed intriguing so I thought that I would give it a go and I’m glad I did. It was a really good story and really well written. I haven’t read anything by this author before and I think I would definitely recommend this book to reader who like Science Fiction but also to readers who are looking for something a little different to read.
I liked that the story wasn’t quite what I was expected and therefore made it unpredictable and actually quite refreshing to read. The storyline was very creative and quite unique. Whilst I didn’t connect with the characters I still thoroughly enjoyed reading about them.

Rated 5 stars
This story took me on a wild ride! The characters are out of this world. Haha see the pun there? Seriously they are great and very enjoyable to read. Bob…what to say about Bob…”is okay. I have cousin” sums him up. We do..we get to meet many of his “cousins” I enjoyed Bob from the get go. His comment about the seat belt. Made me laugh. Another fun thing is the monetary exchange. Peter is so skeptical and this carries throughout a large section of the story. But the change all starts with Bob and the seatbelt.
This writing is comical and witty. It seems fairly smooth and easily kept my interest. This author really brought these characters to life! I don’t really read sci-fi but I was intrigued by this and the previous reviews compelled me to read it. I was hoping for answers and like in all ufo stories they are never the answers you want. Bob is the story of Peter Anderson. He comes searching for one story and got caught up in another. In doing so he meets Bob. In meeting Bob, Peters life is changed forever. He brought humor and a craziness to the story that was enjoyable.
BOB by Tegon Maus is a story that falls into the science fiction genre was well as fantasy. BOB will take you on a roller coaster ride with many twists and turns and keeps you reading so you can find out what happens next. Peter Anderson is a reporter with over 27 years experience, but slowly his career is going downhill. That was until he gets the big story.
Tegon Maus has a way with his words. He keeps you engaged from the start and is very descriptive with his writing. The characters are well developed, funny and believable. Definitely not what you would expect. BOB is a read that you will not want to put down.
