"Death Tango" Reviewed by Kirkus Reviews
A small group in the 23rd century investigates a murder and fights to end a plague in Lachi’s SF thriller....a sharp thriller, and it’s one that boasts chic tech. Lachi’s swift pacing propels a story that manages to wrap up nearly everything while leaving a few juicy items for a possible sequel. An impressive cast enhances an engrossing distant-future tale.

The book opens with a grisly murder by a nameless someone who is not fully human and feels not only slighted by a scientist named Dr. Ferguson but threatened by him–so they do away with him. [The book] becomes un-putdown-able. Great read! |
"The Ivory Staff" Reviewed By Romuald Dzemo for Readers’ Favorite
✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ "The prose is sharp and ebullient, even in the detailed descriptions of dismal and sinister situations; the conflict builds up through every page, and the plot is flowered with subplots and compelling characters that readers will definitely fall in love with. M. Lachi exhibits the uncanny gift of bringing back the old art of common sense into storytelling, and it is this aspect of the story that creates the striking realism that permeates its every page." 
"The Ivory Staff" Review by Diane Donovan
The Midwest Book Review The Ivory Staff is a song for our times...It holds the ability to reach beyond the usual fantasy reader into circles that appreciate complex novels, protagonists, and most of all, political intrigue - and, yes, fantasy settings, and is highly recommended for an audience that appreciates multi-faceted and satisfyingly complex stories.

✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ In this brief review it is quite difficult to convey the full flavor of this mesmerizing feast of a book...However, best of all we must not forget Lachi's distinctive, unique and sometimes even chilling voice as she crafts a stunning, sprawling novel where enormous risks are taken, not least that of demanding our understanding for the monstrous and unthinkable. In addition, her development of plot is perfectly calibrated as she maintains all of the elements of the yarn in suspension. |
