Book Update – Atomic Sea: Volume 1

In an effort to finish off a number of books I stared near the end of last year this happens to be one of such. I have to admit with this particular read I really had no real expectation of how I would like it or if I would before picking Atomic Sea: Volume 1….

Book Update – The Towers of the Sunset

For those of you that have an eye for epic fantasy this is a very good book to get your year started with. Technically it’s the second book within the Recluse Saga, but really it stands on it’s own story wise. In fact for those of that are sticklers for timeline and history within a…

Book Update – Purgatory

I had hoped to write about this book before now, but the past few weeks have been a little crazy on the work front. The truth is that I haven’t had much extra time to even read all that much. I hope that with what looks like a more settled work set up I’ll get…

Book Update -The Secret Beneath The Ice

This short story is like a mini prequel to a larger space series. The Secret Beneath The Ice was well written and serves its main purpose – a basic introduction the world of Aravinda. I think that Andrew M. Crusoe had the right idea in mind with this story. I’m just not entirely sure it…

Book Update – In For The Kill

Finally getting to post something new in regards to new books read. Over the past week things have been a little wacky with work. Plus, a nasty blister making typing rather painful and awkward. Lesson learned be sure to bring my gloves to work even if I think I won’t need them. Those two things…

Book Update – Execution is Everything

This novella was something I found as a suggested read after getting Intent which I wrote about recently. I have to say that Execution is Everything while it is rightly considered a crime thriller it didn’t immediately seem like it. The action was pretty limited to short scenes up until about 60% of the way…

Book Update – Restless

Just by random chance I picked up this book while browsing through the slew of free items on Amazon a couple of days back. Restless is a short story that acts a bit like a prequel to Aurora Rising series. G. S. Jennsen does a good job introducing the reader to this series with this…

Book Update – Intent

I had heard of the author, Jeff Olah, prior to picking up Intent. Finding this short story was sort of just a random coincidence. I was more interested in grabbing the prequel to his zombie series The Dead Years. If the writing of those books is anything like this one in both quality and story…

Book Update – Far From Home

I know that I’ve mentioned this series in prior postings. Far from Home is a space drama by Tony Healey that I have been working through. I have the omnibus version that has the entire collection. However, I felt that it was better to break up the actual updates for the series by the individual…

Book Update – Dreamers

This short story by J. R. Frontera is an interesting take on space sci-fi, but ultimately not all that original. The story reminded me of the very beginning of a space sci-fi show that I watched the first season of last year called Dark Matter. Dreamers actually felt too short not giving it quite enough time to fully…
