Come Apart Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
In our lives there is always one event that we wish we could change, to travel back and make a step to the left rather than to the right. Michael Prosper is one such individual who finds himself trapped in his own small town, his mind clouded with amnesia, a vague mist that slowly clears to reveal a waking nightmare of a life gone wrong. It is the story of teenage Danny who also suffers from memory loss, but as the mystery unravels they both discover connections with each other and with the strangeness of the town that ultimately leads them on a journey within, and when the truth about them both is finally revealed, the curtain rises on choices that will forever alter their perception of themselves and the people around them. Come Apart is Roger Colby's third novel, a science fiction mystery in the tradition of Lost and The Prisoner.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I have been writing various forms of text for most of my life. I started writing horror short stories in high school, contributing a serial column to my high school newspaper which led me to write my first novel at age 16. I entered it in the Avon Flare Novel Competition of which he was one of the final 20 singled out for the winner. Even though I didn't win, I decided that if I had only proofed and revised my novel I might have had a better chance. From then on, I decided that I would pursue writing.

I entered college where I pursued an English degree with a creative writing focus, kept writing short stories which I peddled to magazines, and eventually ended up embarking on a 23-year high school English teaching career. In 2009, I published my first novel "The Transgression Box", and since then I have published 5 more books. Currently, I am a technical writer working for the FAA, but in my spare time, he is working on a screenplay and hope to get it optioned.

I write science-fiction for the bored science-fiction reader and hope you will read and enjoy my stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a Sci-fi Bourne Identity...
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2014

only Roger Colby writes better than Ludlum.
Speaking as a man whose life isn't exactly where he wants it to be, I find Roger's Main Character Michael to be pretty compelling. Add the creepy vagabond and the amnesiac teenager who connect with him in SOME way...that Roger cleverly conceals until pages from the end.
Reminds me a little of Joss Whedon's 'Cabin in the Woods' in that you get the feeling that SOMEONE knows what's going on, but Roger never gives away too much of the mystery.
There ARE clues here and there, and I did piece some of them together so I didn't feel like a complete dummy at the reveal.
I followed Roger's blog leading up to the release and his design of the cover is completely appropriate for how this story unfolds...one puzzle piece at a time!

The author is a great story teller. The characters are very believable & had me rooting for them. The story builds slowly, but kept interested. I don't want to give anything away, so if you're looking for a good 'what is really going on'story, just read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Compulsive Read
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2014
A fast-paced sci-fi mystery that’s hard to put down. Colby makes the reader feel the main character’s frustration and fear as reality comes apart around him – subtly at first, but with gathering momentum as the story hurtles to its conclusion. Thoroughly enjoyable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sci-fi with a human heart
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 11, 2014
Verified Purchase
Come Apart by Roger Colby is an imaginative sci-fi mystery with a simple human story at its heart, namely how mistakes in our past can have devastating consequences for our future selves. With a tightly drawn cast of characters, Roger Colby, recreates the life of small town America where gradually the reader comes to realise that not everything is as it seems.

2.0 out of 5 stars Well written, just not for me.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 15, 2015

Average across all scores (on my blog) is 2.5 which is an easy to write 2 and a half stars.
Looking back over my notes I can safely say this is a taste thing. I love my vampires, my dragons, my elves and my swords. I also love my fae, my guns, my big epic battles and car chases. Yes, this book did have a car chase in it (!) but the surrounding matter just didn’t suit my tastes. I think, mainly because it leans towards sci-fi rather than ‘traditional fantasy.’
Those of you who enjoy sci-fi however, I’m sure you’ll find plenty in here to whet your literary appetites.
