Book Update: Golgotha

I sort of picked up this book on a whim not realizing at the time it was not just a short story, but a prequel to the Gameland series also by Saul Tanpepper. In fact I’d totally forgotten that I had the first two books of the series. I found the idea presented in this…

Book Update: Zombie Fallout 3

I remember just a couple of years ago I wouldn’t have even picked up a book featuring zombies. Post apocalyptic and dystopian fiction for sure since I enjoy that kind of stuff. Face it we like fiction that theorizes what the end of the world could be like whether it is a book, movies, or…

What is Your Genre?

As a long time and avid reader one of the things I’ve thought about particularly over the past couple weeks in particular is the idea of genre. To be totally honest it wasn’t something I had thought about a whole lot. I just knew what I liked and stuck with that for so many years…

Book Update: Paragon.EXE

This year I have looked at fewer books so far, but every now and then I find something of interest. The idea of a futuristic world and AI programs is something of a personal interest of mine even outside of fiction. Over the past couple years I’ve read a few books with those themes as…

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…
