Review: Voidstalker by John Graham

Voidstalker by John Graham

Envisioning the spread of mankind throughout the stars has been a rather recent development, but these dreams of expansion have sparked countless books, movies, television shows and even space program initiatives. John Graham taps into this common passion to deliver a powerful and frightening vision of humanity’s future in Voidstalker, which more than delivers with its dark, prophetic undertones.

Now that human beings have expanded into new corners of the galaxy, new threats appear, but the old failings of greed and deception still linger, given humans’ darker impulses. Gabriel Thorn is one of the elite operatives who is trained to […]

Review: The Rebellious Earthling: Tale of The Turquoise Mirror by Andi Hayes

The Rebellious Earthling: Tale of The Turquoise Mirror

For those readers who are looking for both a depraved and darkly amusing novel, The Rebellious Earthling: The Tale of the Turquoise Mirror is a story that should not be missed. Coming across as a long-form allegory for the weakness of mankind and the rise of evil in modern society, this whip-smart book may seem outlandish, but the underlying messages are deeply rooted in reality.

When one of the Fallen Angels insidiously ruins an entire village of peace-loving, animal-honoring goblins, a new horrifying species is created, full of cruelty, selfishness, violence and an (almost) complete lack of morality. In Tartarus, […]

Review: 2018 Tax Reforms: And What It Really Means for You by C D Leonard

2018 Tax Reforms – And What It Really Means for You?

2018 Tax Reforms: And What It Really Means for You, C D Leonard’s examination of the new tax laws of 2018, is a well-organized, accessible analysis of a generally complex subject.

In this comprehensive overview, Leonard aims to clarify both the facts and the myths regarding the new US legislation known as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) enacted this year by the Trump administration. Because the details of the TCJA can be daunting to a layperson, Leonard endeavors here to try to explain the basics of the new legislation to those who will be affected by it.[…]

Review: The Transitioners: The Purple Blues by Indigo Cox

The Transitioners: The Purple Blues

The Transitioners by Indigo Cox, the first book in the Purple Blood Lineage series, is a beautiful coming of age story that just happens to have one of the most refreshing superhero journeys at its core.

Misty is the first African-America student to make it into Girard, a high-profile music school. While an exceptional student and musician, she is still looked down upon due to the color of her skin. A fact that normal students can’t change, but Misty can. She is a Transitioner. A half-human, half-god being who can change her appearance with the assistance of music and meditation. […]

Review: Electric Order by Armani Martel

Electric Order by Armani Martel

Electric Order, winner of the 2017 Baum Book Prize, holds no punches in its startling and unique vision of the future. The prologue has a razor-sharp hook that will grip you from the very start.

Set in a future not too far away, the story follows two characters – Paulo, a down and out police detective, who’s just about done in by a job that seems to have no end. He’s the compelling lead protagonist as he pursues Daniel, a mysterious villain wanted for a high-status murder. Paulo is the everyman: disgruntled but easy to like, if it were […]

Review: The Life and Lessons of a Young Author by Sunayna Prasad

The Life and Lessons of a Young Author by Sunayna Prasad

Reflections with instructions from a young writer, Sunayna Prasad’s manual, The Life and Lessons of a Young Author, is a solid source of information about creating books in the 21st century.

By the time Prasad was 25, she had already had successes and failures in the complex, mostly online, world of writing and publishing. When she was a child she began writing stories, illustrating them with her own drawings. By third grade she had written a complete chapter book. Then followed a lull in her creative life, until age 16 when a full-blown idea came into her head […]

Review: World, Incorporated by Tom Gariffo

World, Incorporated by Tom Gariffo

At the rate humans are progressing in terms of technological advancement and artificial intelligence, it seems inevitable that reality will be shaken to its foundations in the near future. In World, Incorporated: A Modern Dystopia, author Tom Gariffo takes us to that not-so-distant future, the year 2058, and spins a masterful tale where the line between man and machine has never been so blurred.

A handful of decades in the future, the face of the globe has irreparably changed, with corporations controlling and documenting every citizen on the planet. Individual identity still exists, but it no longer has the […]
