About the author
C.R. Buchanan
3Ìýbooks6ÌýfollowersC. R. Buchanan’s fascination with writing piqued in middle school, where he won his 1st writing contest for his story, “Attack of the killer croutons from a planet somewhere near Mars!â€� It was full of grammatical errors and misspellings, but the oddest, funniest, and most original story that year.
Later in life, he plunged himself headfirst into the world of writing and acting to become an author, pen multiple feature films, blossom into a novelist, and won Best Supporting Actor 2019 at The International Film Festival in Madrid, Spain. Now, he is penning the Sci-Fi/Fantasy blended WolfStar novel series.
His first two books, The Tower (filming in Thailand), and BINARY were his initial steppingstones that got his feet wet as a novelist. On another note: he’s also a seasoned script editor, story editor, former professional fighter, and a bit of a goofball.
C. R. Buchanan has a love for life and everything in it. From wildlife to plants and Mother Nature, though he has gotten injured a few times by getting too close to it, there is nothing about the outdoors he does not like. Between Florida, Virginia, Georgia, Alaska, California, Nevada, and everything in between, he has lived in and hiked some of the most beautiful and dangerous areas of the United States.
He currently lives in Alabama, where he takes care of his mother, visits family, and tends the land. Donkeys, dogs, cats, and even a pet squirrel or two highlight a life of deer, chipmunks, raccoons, and splitting logs to load their wood-burning stove for warmth in the winter. Far away from people and finding peace and tranquility in life to write is all he needs to be happy, besides love in his heart.
C. R. Buchanan is headfirst into writing every day and moment he has free, unless his mother’s chili recipe is thrown into the mix. It is at that moment he will get off his butt long enough to add a few inches to his belly. After that, a gym is in order.

Binary is a fantastic read. I would call it a science fiction/action/thriller as it has intrigue, mystery, and many twists and turns. I read a lot of hard sci-fi and usually don't deviate from that style, but Binary just captivated me in a way I can't really describe. For me, the story is really about love. Not just romantic love, but the love we have for family, friends, and even the intellectual pursuits in our lives. The love we have, how far we would go to protect it, and how we deal with the loss of it. I truly loved Binary!

DNF at 50%. Sentence structures were off putting, “the tackles in his mind were hard to read�. Some of the word choices were let’s say interesting. Kept taking me out of the story. The main character spoke and acted more robotic than the “robot� giving the book its self a mechanical feel. The story concept was interesting but the execution was way of the mark. The chapters clunked along, the pacing was slow and lacking any real depth. Sorry this just wasn’t it for me.
