Mark Lawrence does a short recap of the first books in the trilogy at the beginning which I always appreciate. The brief highlighting of the key points is enjoyable. Not only does it take me right into Dispel Illusion but it also gives me a perspective of what the author thinks are the key points. This […]
I’ve really enjoyed the stories of the Dakoians, but I have found I like the stories on Dakon a bit better than the ones set on Earth. I found it a bit doubly so with this story, and I think it was because of Sixx. He comes to Earth to find a mate with every […]
I like science fiction and Salvaged seemed like it might have the first phase of an apocalyptic change. What I didn’t consider in advance was the world-building and character aspects. The world is one with space travel, and other advanced technologies such as bioengineering. It is also a world with politics and greed with some […]
Echo is a spacetime adventure with an interesting premise and story structure. When I opened my copy and it started at chapter 29, I thought maybe it got scrambled and I didn’t get a final version of the book. But this is by design, it is to help the reader understand where you are chronologically […]
I LOVED Polaris Rising! So I was ready for the next book in the Consortium Rebellion trilogy, Aurora Blazing. Ada’s sister, Bianca is the main character and we get her point of view. We were introduced to her already in the previous book as she is very close to Ada. While Ada is a skilled […]
Hunted by the Alien Prince is the second book in The Hunt series. This story takes place in the same timeframe as the first book in the series, The Game Warden’s Mate. Humans have been taken from all over Earth and taken to an alien planet to be “hunted”. In this story, we follow Payton […]
I really loved Mihalik’s Polaris Rising so I had no hesitation in starting this Rogue Queen series. These shorter books began as a free online serial on the author’s website. The feel is similar to Polaris Rising. It is set in space with various factions, political and action battles between planets and various coalitions. Samara […]
What happens after the war has ended and everyone has hashed out the reporations and divided the booty? In Aftershocks, Marko Kloos explores this scenario as the consequences of being the losing faction in the war become clear and new little rebellions begin popping up in various areas. This was a completely easy read. Sometimes […]
Recursion is a love story. Probably not what you were expecting and I don’t blame you since this is definitely in the Sci-Fi, what-the-hell-is-happening camp too. After reading Dark Matter, which is a book that still pops into my mind from time to time, I was ready to read this author’s entire catalog and go […]
The Game Warden’s Mate was a new-to-me author that I found from an online book club, POC Paranormal, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Authors, or well, this site has a Facebook group that is doing book club reading. This is the first book and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. The story starts off a […]
