Genres: Fiction, Literary Fiction, Psychological, Satire
Format: eBook, Hardcover, Paperback
Pages: 316

The story of the two entangled stars is well known.

Albert Collins, entomology professor, becomes a social media sensation; the sensation becomes a giant celebrity; the celebrity becomes the "Manliest Man" alive.

The small time gangster, Memphis Smith, becomes a prisoner; the prisoner becomes the new Tupak Shakur; the new Tupac takes the world by storm.

Their parallel rise to fame and their fateful meeting on the Tonight show all played out in real time before their legions of fans and detractors.

Now, for the first time, their inside story, their secret story, is told by those who were closest to them.

Jacqueline (Jack) Ruby, super agent, reveals the methods that allowed Albert Collins to become the most desired man in the world. She takes us behind the scenes to the bankers, film producers and heiresses that made Albert into the very definition of manhood in the 21st. century.

Marcellus Moses does the same for Memphis Smith. He shows us the arrests and prison fights, the raw racism and brilliant talent that made Memphis Number One With A Bullet.

Jacqueline and Marcellus tell their insider accounts to the award winning novelist, Susan Brown, who weaves it altogether in the thunderous adventure of The Code.

My thoughts on The Code by Jacqueline Ruby and Marcellus Moses

The Code by Jacqueline Ruby and Marcellus Moses | Review

How do I put my thoughts into a review? This story refuses to be sorted into a particular genre. It’s fiction that reads like a biography. Elements of mystery and social commentary frequently appear. The Code is a gripping, intense novel.

The dual storylines of Albert and Memphis travel along distinct lines that occasionally cross each other. When those paths intersect, sparks fly, causing heartache and turmoil.

The story reminds us that internet fame and fortunes can rise rapidly and crash just as quickly.

Jack is ready to be a king-builder, and she discovers Albert, a scientist doing monotonous research but aching for his 15 minutes of fame. Memphis is a small-time thug who finds himself in prison, looking for ways to avoid racism and violence until he can be released. When he meets Marcellus Moses, life appears to be turning around for him.

Albert and Memphis both seem destined for greatness. Will fate step in and take them down, or can they rise above their humble beginnings. Read the book to find out more.

Clear a block of reading time since you won’t be able to put this book down.
