Sex, Bugs & UFOs by Warren A. Shepherd
About the Book:
Abandoned by his mum at the age of seven, former UFO investigator, Dave Morrissey, is coerced back into business to investigate a cold case that’s suddenly gotten hotter with the death of an old woman in a nursing home. As the questions begin piling up about her peculiar past, Morrissey must reluctantly enlist the aid of a shifty tabloid journalist with surprising insights into all things otherworldly.
Together, they uncover clues that paint a target on Morrissey’s back big enough to attract the sights of an unstable UFO conspiracy theorist, a cunning galactic bounty hunter, and a vicious terrorist for hire with nefarious designs on the secrets hidden in his DNA.
Morrissey’s desperate quest for the truth launches him from the grey streets of London, across the stars, and deep into the heart of an intergalactic mystery that will turn the idea of who he is and where he belongs in the universe on its head.
All Morrissey wants to do is find his way home but in space, no one can hear you whinge…

My Review:
Sex, Bugs, & UFOs is an exciting SciFi novel. Morrissey comes home from school one afternoon, explaining how he's being teased about his mother's past. His knowledge of her experiences with aliens distresses her. His mom abandons him the very next day. He's spent many years trying to understand why she left, to no avail.
After the death of a nursing home resident and the approach of a conniving former coworker, Morrisey is suddenly thrust back into the world of the unknown. It appears the death of Ruth opens a cold case back up from his Ministry of Defense (MOD) days. He's soon the target of several people, and none of them good.
I love the author's writing style. The dialogue is crisp, natural, conversational, and flows well. The pacing of the story is perfect; not too fast and not too slow. Each scene is crafted well and the world building allowed me to envision the setting, characters, and events that take place.
I was engaged in Sex, Bugs and UFOs from the very beginning of the book. I was drawn in by the mystery behind Morrisey's mother leaving, the connection between an old cold-case and the recent death of Ruth, and the involvement and secrecy of those in Morrisey's life. The book is full of twists, turns, and conspiracies. I couldn't put the book down. Highly recommended for lovers of SciFi Action Adventure stories.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.

Meet the Author:
Warren A. Shepherd was seven when he first realized the
world didn’t fit him quite right. Two sizes too big or two sizes too small, he
couldn’t be sure. But having been transported from the streets of London,
England to the streets of Toronto, Canada at such a young age left him with a
profound sense of alienation — a boy with one foot in each world yet belonging
in neither. The experience, however, did sharpen his sense of self-awareness
and made him a keen observer of the human (and not-so-human) condition.
When he sees what humankind is capable of, both the good and the bad, he
imagines how we would cope amongst the stars and is driven to tell stories of
strange new worlds to try to explain the one that he often cannot.
After all, it takes an alien to know an alien…
