FEEDBACK FROM THE JUDGES OF THE
KILLER NASHVILLE CLAYMORE COMPETITION
I received this email Jan 8th
containing feedback from the Claymore Award judges, The comments below are unedited.
Title: The Spectrum Conspiracy
Author: Craig Faris
Strong
Beginning:
The Spectrum Conspiracy had a very strong opening. Using the word "loomed"
immediately added to the anticipation for the unsettling phone call. This story reads like a thriller. It was a bit
of a cliché to begin with a telephone call in the night waking up the character. One judge said, “I'd rather the
senator be on the senate floor or in some other situation and be approached by a human being.”
Another said, “Although the opening
is a phone call, which many claim is overused, the suspense was well crafted and immediately grabbed me as a
reader.”
Character:
Special Agent Devrin Crosby has backstory and flaws and is sympathetic. We want to
root for him to succeed. You introduced a lot of characters in these 50 pages, but there was no confusion. Each
character was distinct. One judge mentioned that Crosby would've had an (inward) moment of concern and wonder at
the White House press secretary looking for a mailbox.
One judge found Kathryn a bit
unrealistic and not especially likable, but this seemed to be a matter of personal preference, since others had no
problems with her.
Setting:
Your setting was realistic. There was just the right amount of detail to create
realism without bogging down the pacing. The level of detail for each scene rang with authenticity. Washington is a
well covered backdrop in many stories, so there doesn't need to be volumes written about the locale. The
descriptions here are just enough to put the reader into the action, and you do a good job with this. One judge
said, “There have been a million thrillers set in Washington DC, so the author has a tough row to hoe here. I think
he (or she) can get it done.”
Dialogue:
This was good. It moved the story along and sounded like “real talk.” The characters
have definite changes in their speech patterns, making it easy to identify who is speaking without having to use
tags. Judges loved the line; "they think a hot date is a five-mile run to a firing range."
Plot:
The Spectrum Conspiracy had action and high stakes. Even more, the stakes
mattered. To protect their patriotism, the Spectrum group assassinates the President of the U.S., framing and
killing an innocent man. Special agent Crosby is just the underdog to ferret out all the details of the
case.
One judge said, “I'm not sure what the plot is at this point, but this is a long
thriller, so that's okay.”
Another said, “I may have needed to
read more to discover what will be different about this plot, wherein the president is assassinated.” Since this
idea has been used so often, maybe introduce a few ideas earlier that show what makes this story
different?
Suspense/Tension:
Suspense and tension are used to good effect in Spectrum Conspiracy. The
suspense is created right from the beginning and keeps building. The scene in which the poor camera man is duped
into becoming the assassin and sacrificial lamb was harrowing. One judge said, “With such high stakes, I had to
keep turning the pages to find out what happened next.”
The tire changing incident (for
example) is one that shows that every scene in the manuscript shows menace
and foreboding.
Conflicts: With such strong characterization,
even the minor characters had story arcs and inner conflicts. The layered conflicts worked well
together.
One judge said, “Conflicts are all
over the place. We don't know exactly who is doing what or what side who is on!” As handled, this is a positive,
since the reader is kept in suspense, but never confused.
Another said, “There are numerous
conflicts emerging among the characters, and internal conflict concerning alcohol addiction presents early in the
protagonist.”
Pacing: Well done. You effectively sped the
story up and down so that an average reader would be unaware of that story dynamic. Readers are pushed and pulled
through the story. One judge said, “Excellent. I'd buy this book.”
Voice/Writing
style:
Your style and voice were distinctive and engaging. You made great use of 3rd person
POV. One judge said, “It's rather Ludlum-like. That's a compliment. But it also means
that this has got to be more than the ordinary, stereotypical political thriller.”
Grammar &
Mechanics:
Exceptionally well done. Few errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, or mechanics
were detected. Two minor examples: "...where it will lay in state..." should be “lie in state.” Also, one judge
mentioned that it's a lectern, not a podium. Since most people would call it a podium, this may not be an
issue.
Additional
Notes:
One judge said, “A compelling read. I don't read many thrillers, but this one held my
interest.”
Another said, “This book would sell.
It needs editing. There are a few grammar and vocabulary slip ups. The formatting is off in places. The beginning
could be strengthened. Having the black President be a conservative (my take) is an excellent ploy. I don't know
what the rest of the book is like, but I would be disappointed if it is a KKK killer of a black president. I'd love
to see a really nasty and complex conspiracy of some kind. I'm a sucker for these kinds of
books.”
Another said, “The writing is crisp,
and the plot moves without a lot of unnecessary words. My only concern at just fifty pages is that I didn't get to
read enough to see how this story, although well written will be different than another Ludlum type of suspense
thriller about a presidential assassination.”
This was a strong
contender.
Author's Note: The Killer
Nashville Claymore Award is a contest for unpublished mystery and thriller manuscripts. At the time I entered this
contest in May of 2012, my novel, The Spectrum Conspiracy was not yet published or under
contract.
Ten finalists were announced in July 2012, chosen from 223 entries through a blind judging
process. Each MS was read by two author/readers to move out of the first round. Then by a third and, in case of a
tie, a fourth to move into the final ten.
The finalists were
read by Killer Nashville's 2012 publishing partner, Five Star Press/Tekno Books. The publisher then chose the
winner and two runners up and the winners were offered publishing contracts.
The Spectrum
Conspiracy was NOT chosen as a winner or a finalist in this competition, however I was notified that is fell
just outside the final ten and some of the agents requested my contact information. But by that time it was already
under contract with Bella Rosa Books.

Fantastic
book by a SC
author.
This action-packed
novel is packed with
history, science, and
government
inter-workings. Keeps
you on the edge of your
seat. Lots of moving
parts and secret plans
and agendas. The end
unfolds with twists and
turns I never expected!
Covert secret
government agency plans
- yes please!
I was pleasant
surprised with this
author’s ability to
weave so many stories
and agendas together.
And the details in the
scientific fields was
impressive.
There were a lot of
people and names to
keep up with! I
actually made myself a
cheat sheet of names
and code names so I
wouldn’t get
confused.
Highly recommend this
book! Page turner for
sure! Action starts
almost
immediately

As a
retired
FBI Special
Agent, I found Mr.
Faris' book to be fast
paced, exciting and
captivating. The storyline
moves quickly, always
keeping the reader involved
delving into the quick
twists and turns of a great
plot. It is a book that you
won't want to put down.
Much more exciting than
most of the cases the FBI
really investigates, Mr.
Faris demands much of his
writing and it is evident
as the book does a
wonderful job of character
development and the
movement of the story to a
climactic and exciting
ending. I would recommend
this one as a "must read."
Well done.

***** Five - Stars This is an
excellent book for anyone who is interested in the impact of the new physics on weapons,
warfare, morality and conscience. And it does not lack action, romance, and political intrigue. The bad guys all
get a voice, and while they are not whitewashed, at least Faris gives us a good (look) at what made them what
they are-- a nice change from the stereotypical Middle Eastern Terrorist or the White Supremacist. The ebook
version would profit from formatting so as to alert the reader to changes in point of view, especially when dealing
with the characters Crosby and Gerald. Like almost every writer I have read recently, Faris has difficulty
realistically portraying senior citizens, and I am one. Come to my house and you will not get instant coffee and
stale cookies, and I will not describe either my writer son or my artist son and 'such a nice boy.' But
I can forgive that of Faris as long as the keeps writing this caliber of political
thriller. Posted on Goodreads and Amazon by Linda Root

**** Four -
Stars This was a real page turner and very hard to put
down. The storyline was captivating and somewhat plausible. The only distraction was the poor
editing. There were countless misspellings but the clincher was "Hanger." Hangers are for shirts, hangars are for
airplanes. Big difference. I would have awarded five stars if not for the sloppy editing. :-) Posted by Charles Mink on Amazon.com Jan 26,

***** Five-Stars Non-stop
intrigue from a master story teller
I read this book in three days on my Kindle -- I would have read it in one sitting if it had been the
weekend. I absolutely loved the way that Craig spins the web of his plot, his use of terse description, and his
interesting characters. He handles the science in this book like a master, and I had to look him up to see if he
was a science major in college. His description of raising the damaged boat read like one who had been a scuba
diver, and had spent time under water (he used to scuba dive) and his handling of numerous details ring true.
Get this book, read this book, you will be glad you did. Only make sure you have time to
read it in one sitting -- you will not want to put it down!

***** Five-Stars - A HOME
RUN
First things first. Writing this
review and getting it to Craig Faris in anything resembling a timely manner has resulted in me becoming a bit
paranoid. Why? You may ask. Simple I've now tried four times to email it and once I've sent it via snail mail. None
of those efforts have shown up on Craig's door step so to speak. Just what have you gotten me into Mr. Faris?
Now to lay a little groundwork. I read. I read A LOT. I read mysteries,
histories, Sci-Fi, westerns, military thrillers, political thrillers and I've read my share of match book covers
along the way. I'm a patron of the local library on a weekly basis and I can be safely left alone in a bookstore
without adult supervision by The Lovely Bride for hours on end. Drop me off just about anywhere and I will find, at
a bare minimum, a book rack. Heck, I rarely travel any distance without a
book.
Having established all that to your
satisfaction lets get to the point. Craig Faris has hit a home run with "The Spectrum
Conspiracy". I've read all the "Big Name" authors over the last twenty or thirty years. You know
the ones. They churn out the 500 plus page tomes every eight months or so. And I've read most if not all of what
they have produced. Over the last several years I've noticed something. The "Big Names" have become, well, boring.
they rehash, rearrange, and in my opinion steal from one another on a regular basis. Craig steals from none of them
with "The Spectrum Conspiracy" and rehashes nothing. It's all original and very, very
possible. Yes, Craig makes it a point to assure the reader that while the science exists it is not any where
near the level he takes it to. Or is it? Ok, maybe not today. Or even next week. But this is the 21st century and
technology has been known to make huge leaps. So maybe week after next....Are there people who would use the
science and technology Craig describes for political and/or financial gain? I have no doubt. I've met some of them.
Can you read "The Spectrum Conspiracy" in one day? I'm sure you can. You just might not be able to sleep that
night. Or the night after that. Read the "Spectrum Conspiracy" and take a peak around a very scary and very
possible corner of the
future.

THIS BOOK HOOKED ME UNTIL I FINISHED IT I found the
Spectrum Conspiracy very hard to put down. I had heard about the book from a friend and bought a copy. I put
it aside for several weeks, convincing myself that I really didn't have time to read it with all of the other
things on my "to-do" list. One evening I picked it up and read the first chapter. I then found myself picking
it up every time I had a few minutes. Soon I was putting off other things to read
it, to the point of depriving myself of sleep to finish it. The book has well
developed characters, an intriguing plot, and plenty of action and surprises that kept me hooked until I
finished it. I highly recommend the book for people that like high tech, fast paced, murder mystery type
books. Posted By David L The Spectrum Conspiracy (Paperback)

***** "I am always somewhat hesitant in
regards to any book my wife hands me. We have distinctly differing tastes
in literature. This time she hit it right on the nail
head. This is a thinking man's novel. The plot
lines were realistic, the research was good and it all came together in the end as a well plotted political
thriller should. His debut novel made for far better reading than many similar books by other well known authors. I
will be adding Craig Faris to my list of favored authors. I look forward
to his next book." Posted

47th Five Star Review Fantastic read! I started the Spectrum
Conspiracy after reading a David Baldacci novel, and was unsure whether to expect the same captivating thrill
as I have previously experienced with his books. I am happy to say that I found the Spectrum Conspiracy to
have characters with even more depth than some bestselling political thrillers I have
read, and found the plot to be more smooth sailing, and with more unexpected twists and turns. I read
it in about 8 total hours and was engrossed every minute. Highly recommended. I look forward to more books
from this author. Posted by Michelle K -

Very detailed and well-written thriller, This book is very impressive
in its level of scientific detail and prolonged suspense. The author had to have spent much time in research
just to make the science sound plausible, and rich characterization supported the narrative. Posted June 28, 2013 by Vickie - Amazon (Kindle

5 - Stars ***** Exciting book - good read, The Spectrum Conspiracy
This was my first book by Craig Faris and I really enjoyed it. It had enough plot twists to keep me guessing how it
would end and who was the real good guys and who was the real bad guys. The technology in the book is interesting
and who knows how close it could be to reality, it is a dangerous world we live in. The characters and locations
are interesting and add to the enjoyment of the book. I think you will enjoy this book. Posted June 10, 2013 By Ted

5 Stars - Fantastic One of the most
engaging books I have had the pleasure of reading in the past year. I read the whole thing in about two days
because I could just NOT set it down. The way it comes in and just hooks you from the first chapter is
brilliant. 10/10 thriller! Posted by
