I stayed up until 1 am this morning to finish this one. It’s that good. If you’re familiar with the first book in Weber’s Honor Harrington series, ‘On Basilisk Station’ this one is comparable in quality and in battle chops. There are a lot of political factions on both sides, a lot of character development, a lot of plot pieces coming together.

A quick summary is the main character, Terrance Murphy, is a privileged, wealthy scion of a war hero. He’s married to the daughter of one of the richest men in the core systems. He’s considered a bit of a lucky fop, who’s only in the navy to improve his political chances.

It’s largely an act. He’s sharp and brave and noble, and everyone underestimates him, which is just the way he likes it.

Arrayed against his is a genocidal murdering admiral of the opposing space navy. Will she underestimate him too?

The humor and action continue in L.G. Estrella’s series about unlikely heroes. First, they must rescue a powerful vampire from an impenetrable prison. Assuming they survive, they then have to fight the Eternal Empire, led by the world’s most powerful mage. He’s planning to use a powerful weapon against their homeland, Everton.

The humorous lines flow fast and free as an unlikely collection of powerful mages and other worldly beings battle.

Another exciting and hilarious story from Andy Zach. If you have enjoyed other stories in the Life After Life Chronicles then you’ll definitely enjoy this one. A fun take on dispatching turkeys in general but of course the zombie variety. Great characters, a fun and interesting plot, and overall the world continues to develop and grow. I look forward to the next book in the Life After Life Chronicles.

Along the way they meet desert drifters, beekeepers,and a trio of odd, superfighters.

But what does it all mean?

This series is the first I have read of Andy Zach’s and I am not disappointed! This story has tons of action, well written characters, and the zombies are not mindless slow shells. A refreshing take on zombies as a whole. The plot moves at a good pace and the story arc continues to work well over the series. I look forward to book 3! Audio Version: Phil Blechman and Raven Perez do a great job with their respective characters and the overall narration.

This series is the first I have read of Andy Zach’s and I am glad I picked it up! The series continues with lots of action, characters continue to be developed, humor, and the zombies are still not mindless shells ambling around awaiting an axe to the head. Still a refreshing take on zombies as a whole.

I look forward to what Andy writes next!

What’s New in June? Science SciFi Fantasy

What’s New in June? Science, SciFi, Fantasy – Just for you I’ve got the best science stories, and the best science fiction and fantasy reviews. Plus, pay attention to this post–I’ll give you free books as you read it.

Science SciFi Fantasy – Which one is this one?

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ is a hot new movie. It’s science fiction–right?

Um, not exactly. The USAF is rumored to have a new jet that looks suspiciously like the one in the movie. They actually designed an SR-72 which was rendered like this:

“But Andy – that’s only a designer’s dream. That isn’t science”

But try to search on ‘Aurora’, a rumored plane SR-92. Here’s one video on it:

This is surely science fiction: a rover on Mars, traveling so far that it picks up a rock in its wheels. Don’t you hate that in your car?

But wait–it’s a real rover that is really on Mars. Here’s the video proof.

ReviewThis was my first exposure to L.G. Estrella and I definitely want more! The author creates humorous and ironic juxtapositions of characters and roles: Timmy, the dread, dark necromancer, who’s reluctant to kill. Katie, the whiz-bang apprentice who’s 10 and cute as a button and hates being called a kid, and is protected by invisible ninja rats.

Then we meet the bureaucrat who’s 6′ 6″ (two meters) skinny, and loves paperwork. But he can magically retrieve any paperwork at any time. As well as other things.

Finally, there’s the woodland elf who’s a pyromaniac because her magical power is creating fire.

I assure you, you will enjoy this romp.
But wait! There’s more!

ReviewThis book was my introduction to author Jeffery Russell and I assure you I will be reviewing more of his books.

His main character is a sheep gate guard–Durham. He’s unassuming and unambitious but over-talented for the little the job requires of him. He gets an order to join up with a party of dwarves off to retrieve the mace of an undead lich.

Things go humorously downhill from there. We’re introduced to the colorful crew of the Dungeoneers, who specialize in retrieving artifacts from dungeons.

There is more than meets the eye as they probe the ever more complex labyrinth under the necropolis. Then the animated skeletons appear and attack.

ReviewMuch to my delight, Blaze Ward continues his high-quality writing in the third installment of his military scifi series, The Science officer.

Javier was captured by space pirates, who destroyed his scout ship and upset his life. He negotiates his way out of slavery and into a valuable officer on their ship, where he can pay off his slave debt.

But things change. The imperturbable captain Zolokov keeps generating new challenges for Javier. Once again, Javier must risk his life to save a crew member or three. One of them hate his guts. They’re in a den of pirates. Oh my.

Oddly, Javier had been there before.

The Best April Book Reviews for You

Best January 2022

The Best April Book Reviews for You, curated by me, Andy Zach. I’ve written eight books (one’s being published) and I’m writing another one. I know something about books, having read maybe 4-5,000 over my life. Let’s start with the latest one I’ve read:

Cloud-Castles
by Dave Freer (Goodreads Author)

Best April Book Reviews Cloud Castles
Cloud Castles

Andy Zach‘s review

Apr 21, 2022 

really liked it

bookshelves: humor, science-fiction

The first thing you notice about Dave Freer’s novel Cloud-Castles is the setting: a gas giant with a habitable zone in the atmosphere. Alien technology genetically engineering plant life that floats in the atmosphere and a whole ecosystem of flying creatures. There is an anti-gravity city, which has degenerated into a slum, and floating castles, owned by two warring alien species who use humans as slaves.

That setting is enough to make me read the book. But I also love the premise: a rich, but innocent scion, Augustus Thistlewood III, of humanity’s wealthiest family, is there to practice philanthropy toward the poor, downtrodden masses, using his recently acquired sociology degree.

Needless to say, his suitcase is quickly stolen by a ‘helpful’ street urchin Briz. Looking through his stuff, she realizes he has nothing to pawn and is a complete innocent, but very wealthy. Briz returns the suitcase and offers to escort him around the dangerous port town.

Then, adventures happen.

Highly recommended.
