Best 2023 May Books

Best 2023 May Books – Reviewed by author Andy Zach. I read almost every day, certainly more than I write. May was a good month for books. Check out some of my favorite fantasy and SciFi.

I finished my most recent review the other day on Goodreads:

Best 2023 May Books > Cowboy Necromancer Devil’s Garden

Best 2023 May Books

May 14, 2023

I’m delighted to review another Cowboy Necromancer book. This one was a novella. There are more fights with bandits, drunks, and God Walkers–alien devices which gave some humans ‘mancer’ powers–RPG skills.

Sterling Montero is a necromancer–he does magic with dead things. He’s also a deadeye shot and loves fighting to blow off steam. He’s got a short fuse and is stubborn to his own hurt. He’s also the hero of this book and the other four in the series.

If you like rough-around-the-edges heroes, he fills that bill. If you like RPG-type adventures, with wild, unpredictable fights, the book scratches that itch too.

Best 2023 May Books – Gobble! Gobble!

This review of Zombie Turkeys appeared recently on Audible.

“I feel great” about this amazing book

  • Overall    5 out of 5 stars
  • Performance    5 out of 5 stars
  • Story    5 out of 5 stars

It is amazing that such a funny title and a random premise could make such an enjoyable experience. This story was fantastic. Certainly the narrator made the story come alive, but I can’t say how many times I “laughed out loud” while reading this book. Only one other book in my life ever made me feel this way. I enjoyed this story. It is a zombie-apocalypse book with political thriller feel as well as a home-town romance subplot. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Read it (listen!) and laugh. And learn how to be prepared for that zombie turkey apocalypse.

Another May Fantasy Book

May 8, 2023

One advantage to being a superpowerful hero like John Sutton, the Farmer Mage, is you’re really hard to kill. The disadvantage is more people try to kill you and you attract more powerful opponents. And your quest challenges get harder: like stopping the apocalypse that’s currently underway. And discover the three threats endangering the world.

There’s plenty more action in this one and each battle reveals more and worse opponents than any he’s faced before. They’re even coming from outside the world.

Best 2023 April Books Ready Player One

Best 2023 April Books – Reviewed by author Andy Zach. April was a good month for books. Check out some of my favorite fantasy and SciFi.

I finished my most recent review the other day on Goodreads:

Best 2023 April Books > Ready Player One

Best 2023 April Books

April 12, 2023

I read this book because I finally got into RPG type novels and this one had the reputation as the first.

It’s not an RPG novel like many fantasy type novels I’ve read. It’s much more a dystopian novel with a dominant RPG universe called Oasis. All the world’s society revolves around this game, invented by a pair of batty billionaires.

One billionaire retired and the other died. When he died, the revealed he had placed an Easter Egg, a hidden object in his RPG universe. All he left was a cryptic poem. Find the egg and you’ll get all his billions. People searched relentlessly, to no avail. There were three keys and three gates to be found. No one found the first key.

Then Wade came along. He was a poor kid, parentless, raised by his grandmother and obsessed with finding the egg. He researched exhaustively all the 80s trivia the billionaire loved and joined with the other grunters (egg hunters) in playing and solving old video games from the 80s.

Then one day . . .

This novel is certainly worth reading. Don’t miss it if you love RPG fiction. Or dystopian fiction. Or coming of age novels.

Summer boredom is cured by a trip to Space Camp, which results in a trip to space. This is a fun, fast-paced elementary to mid-grade adventure story. Although it’s clear the kids have had prior adventures together, this can be read as standalone.
I liked how they combined their abilities and intelligence to solve problems and support one another. The trivia questions they ask each other are a good way to sneak in some history and facts without a lecture.
The way we get to hear the villains plotting is great. They almost steal the show.
Khai Lannor did a good job with the story as well as voicing adults and all the different kids.

Now you’re ready for your free short story that follows below.

What’s it about? What if you’re a genetic engineer and you decide to use zombie turkey DNA to make pickles grow? That’s the set up. Enjoy! Click here to read it.

It opens like this:

In a Pickle

by Andy Zach

Now, what was he going to do? Brice Butterworth’s boss just told him to double the productivity of Vegan Inc.’s pickle strain they used for their Kilwowski Pickle brand. That was completely impossible.

But keeping his job required it. He was the low man on the genetic engineering totem pole at Vegan Inc., the last one hired and the first one to be fired if another recession hit.

He couldn’t think. And he couldn’t face this. So he cruised the internet. “The origin of zombie turkeys? I didn’t know they’d found that. Hmm, a Midley Beacon exclusive, the foremost zombie news source,” he read out loud.
