Book Update – Venatoris

I have nearly finished my pursuit of reading all of the short stories within the Aurora Rhapsody series. Just as with the other bite sized portions that G. S. Jennsen has written for this series Venatoris  yet another great example of letting us in on who and why the characters matter to the story. In…

Book Update – Solatium

Yesterday I was in the mood for a quick read before hitting up one the other books I’m still currently working my way through. I have read a couple of the short stories related to the Aurora Rhapsody series by G. S. Jennsen. So far I have actually enjoyed these origin stories of some of…

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: 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 – 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 – 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 – 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…
