Newest eBook Review - War: Horseman of the Apocalypse

Love Blooms Eternal by Jeff Fuell (Sci-fi/Romance)



War: Horseman of the Apocalypse is an engaging book that captures the reader's attention on page one. The characters are well developed and easy to visualize. Each was contrasted nicely against the others. The pace of this story was perfect. It holds the reader's attention so that it is hard to put down. The setting was a perfect backdrop for the characters and was an enhancement for their interactions. For those readers who enjoy romantic suspense mixed with supernatural influences, then this is the book to read!

Newest eBook Review: Recycled Hero

by Robert Wayman (Sci-fi)



Robert Wayman's Recycled Hero is a fun and exciting sci-fi adventure. A former hot-shot Army pilot and retired avionics engineer who was semi-crippled in a car accident is vegetating in a blue-funk psychological limbo on the coast of Maine. Strange radio noises lead him into the back woods to investigate, and he meets stranded aliens. He and his veterinarian girlfriend help them survive and repair their ship, then are swept up in a page-turner escape flight across the universe involving a fight against other aliens, which leads to a wild ride through a wormhole in space on a toboggan into Hell and back to rescue the hero's adversaries. As imaginative as "Star Wars", technologically detailed and believable, and with just enough romantic love to hold it all together.  Three and a half stars on a scale of four.

In Honor of an Author - Coke Brown Jr.

Coke R. Brown Jr., formerly of Fort Worth, Texas, died August 6th 2010 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  For over ten years he was part of our family.  He loved poetry, collecting frogs, all genre's of music, and us.  He loved his 2 nieces and his sister. 

                            
Coke  was one of the most complex and interesting men I have ever met.  His poetry won many awards and was published in RFD magazine, Poetry Society of Texas' Book of the Year several years in a row, and many anthologies. 
 
Coke was one of SynergEbooks first authors, giving a new publisher a chance when not many others would. 
His book, Cancer Stick #94,912 and Other Poems (published by SynergEbooks), was reviewed by some of the members of the Cancer Prevention Societies.  After his first book, he went on to write The Train and Beyond (also published by SynergEbooks) and Move and Rest
 
Other than poetry, Coke was fascinated with old abandoned buildings, crumbling walls, and he saw things that others looked at but never saw.  Some of his photographs were used in a book called SleeveFace: Be the Vinyl.

Newest eBook Review: A Fool's Disciple

by Donald C. Lee (Historical Fiction/Adventure)

A FOOL’S DISCIPLE
does not fit comfortably in any one genre because between the covers of his book, Donald C. Lee has set out before his readers a rich literary buffet of mystery, romance, action, adventure, history and philosophy.

The setting is early thirteenth century England and France. The author has paid careful attention to detail; his portrayal of the people, their architecture, customs, business practices and mores is on a par with the best of the novels with a medieval setting I have read, (i.e. The Brother Cadfael mysteries by Ellis Peters). If for no other reason, this word portrait of that period of history makes The Fool’s Disciple a worthwhile read.



The mysteries Lee spreads before his readers reside in the questions of to whom the young monk is to be delivered if captured, why he is wanted so badly, and who are his parents. Of course, the answers to these questions are intricately entwined.

For the romantic, there is a chivalrous knight, a not-so-helpless maiden in distress, a handsome squire and a nubile servant girl woven skillfully into the plot. And for those who like a seasoning of fantasy with their literary fare, there is a dragon to be slain and the sudden appearance of a mysterious druid sprite who baffles Anthony with two riddles to which only the correct answers will save his threatened life.

There is some violence but that was a violent time in European history. It is not overdone, however – just what one might expect when the weapons are swords, daggers, pikes, crossbow bolts, and longbow arrows.

Anthony’s struggle to resolve the conflict between his one-dimensional Roman Catholic faith forged in the dogma of monastic life and the different religious beliefs he encounters in his travels expressed more often than not inconsistently, dishonestly or hypocritically, imparts another important dimension to The Fool’s Disciple. His quest to resolve this conflict will ring true to any Christian whose own cherished beliefs have been suddenly challenged by circumstances or events that raise questions beyond the scope of his or her faith to answer.

The ending is also carefully crafted. Don Lee does a masterful job of providing a conclusion that both rewards Anthony for his perseverance and at the same time raises another challenge to Anthony’s faith.

Don Lee is not just a good writer, he is a great writer who deserves a wide readership.

I give The Fool’s Disciple five stars.
