Here is a very kind review of Brilliant from Ed A on Goodreads
Brilliant is still Top 20 in Amazon Children’s Time Travel
I am putting the finishing touches on Singularity, Book Two of StarCruiser Brilliant before the editing process begins. Singularity features an ensemble cast that features Jennifer and David flying air combat maneuvers against the pilots of the Blue Angels, Jennifer’s half-sister, Kalinda’s coming of age as a surfer, an actor, and a martial arts expert and Sami and Dr. Ami, who become a bit more real. Here is the cover:

Kalinda and Dr. Ami
Dr. Ami
Mia Rodriguez was transferred to Balboa Naval Medical Center. Jeff walked with the gurney to the Intensive Care Unit where a room was waiting. Brilliant returned to Miramar with the Blue Angels pilots.
Balboa just installed the HTVR projectors that allowed virtual doctors to practice there. Dr. Ami transferred to the hospital to test the new installation and track her patient. After a clinic walkthrough with the physicians, she was satisfied that she would be able to perform the surgery on Lieutenant Commander Rodriguez in the morning. She settled in a spare office during the night shift. She was reviewing Mia’s scans at two o’clock.
An Asian female knocked on the open door. “Dr. Ami, I am Dr. Silvia Ramon, the senior attending on this shift.”
“Come in, Doctor,” Ami said. “How can I help you?”
“Can you walk with me, Doctor?,” Silvia said.
“Yes, of course.” Dr. Ami sensed the urgency.
“We have admitted a nineteen-year-old male Marine suffering massive head trauma in a motorcycle accident,” Silvia said.
“Helmet?” Dr. Ami asked.

As author-publishers, our biggest challenge is getting our product in front of people we do not have a connection with. Amazon Market- ing Services is a simple and cost-effective solution to that problem.
On Friday, May 4, I published my first novel, called Brilliant, about a girl with an IQ of 206
who was searching for her father. She got an internship at the Hollywood studio that makes
the StarCruiser Brilliant movies. She finds out the Brilliant flies into space.
On March 25, I put the book on pre-sale and, due to the support of friends and family, sold 17 copies by April 21. On that day, I created a campaign on Amazon Marketing Services at ams.amazon.com (AMS).
Go to the AMS website under your Amazon login for identification as well as billing. If you are signed out, you will find helpful information and videos.
After signing in, you are offered the opportunity to start a New Campaign. You then receive two options. I have not had any luck with Product Display Ads, so select Sponsored Products.
5.0 out of 5 stars Positively Brilliant By Markis on May 4, 2018
Very entertaining read! I absolutely loved the basic premise and the many novel concepts used in the story.
We have all seen many examples of how movies and TV which are science fiction today become science fact tomorrow, so of course turning this on its head and using technology of tomorrow as the basis for making movies today made for a consistent and believable universe which was very entertaining and enjoyable to read.
Anyone who enjoys Laurence Dahners’ – Ell Donsaii stories will also love this story.
