The prospect of failure is not worth considering.

Gimme more!

*Book source ~ Free on Amazon

Vyder Ironstone is a big highlander, rich and successful at what he does. Did I mention heâs an assassin? Yeah. Heâs not someone you want coming after you. When the Prince is abducted and the King hires Vyder to retrieve him he knows this may be the one job that is too much for him. However, he does so love a challenge.

More, more, more. I want more of Vyder Ironstone. I love the world, the writing and most of all, Vyder. Heâs fascinating and I am looking forward to continuing with him on his mission. My only complaint is the ending to this short intro. It stopped abruptly, like climbing a hill and finding a 100â drop as soon as you crest the top. Ending it right before the confrontation or after would have much more acceptable to me, but then abrupt stops are one of my biggest pet peeves. Call me old-fashioned, but every story, no matter how short, should have a beginning, middle and end. Yeah, so not a fan of cliffhangers. Other than that, I loved this tale.

Great teaser for the series

Great teaser for the series. Reminds me of old school fantasy like Conan or Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, looking forward to reading more!

Badass assassin with a conscience

Laconic assassin with a tortured history works to his own rules. An interesting character, set up for an (almost) impossible mission. Looking forward to the next book.

good winter read in WI.

Nothing better than a good book to read on a cold winter day!!!! This was it!! But having to wait for the next one in the series is always difficult..

What happens next??????? WAITING !!!!

Incomplete ending,waiting for next part

Publisher's Summary:

An encounter with a strange medallion leaves 16-year-old Gestalt possessed by the spirit of an ancient Demon King, making him a key player in a war between the Demon King and the Goddess of Life. Unfortunately, the Demon King wants to destroy the world, and the Goddess wants to enslave everyone in it!

With the aid of a talking teddy bear, a grumpy demon dog, and a unicorn princess who wants to marry him, Gestalt embarks on a journey to stop the Goddess' sinister plot and find a way to get rid of the Demon King - yet, he must also rely on the dark power of the Demon King in order to stand a chance against the powerful minions of the Goddess.

Can Gestalt resist against the corrupting temptations of the Demon King and save the world, rather than destroy it? Is it even possible for a mere human to stand up against the power of a goddess?

Fun book

What did you love best about Pandemonia Chronicles: DAWN?

I really liked the narration of this book. The narrator did a great job giving all the characters different voices to suit their personalities. It made the book a lot of fun to listen too. It also made the characters very relatable.

Would you recommend Pandemonia Chronicles: DAWN to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes. I think that the friends who enjoy fantasy books would like it.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene where Gestalt and his friends are captured by the munchkins.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No I often don't have time to listen to books in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

I liked the book but I felt that the ending was unfinished. Does Gestalt just stay in the demon world? Does he ever go back to his world? What happens with Ennui? I felt like it just kind of stopped rather than had a proper ending.

What happens when a superhero endures a midlife crisis?

As Powerhouse, Dave Johnson has become a local legend in Seattle, but choruses of voices advise him that he's wasting his time defending the Emerald City. He's urged to take on more ambitious goals, like defending New York, being a full-time comic book executive, or becoming a bat-breaking evangelist. These questions are pushed into the background when Powerhouse is confronted with an unprecedented crime wave launched by the interdimensional warlord Varlock as part of his effort to help King Bel conquer the Earth.

At the same time, Naomi Johnson secretly possesses her husband's superpowers. When her work slows down during the summer, the Johnson children depart to summer camp, and Dave is never home due to the crime wave, she assumes a new identity in Wyoming as Marie Dubois and becomes a vigilante known as Justice Woman. In the course of this, she confronts her unfulfilled hopes and dreams - and her unresolved anger.

While Powerhouse is pushed to the point of physical and mental collapse by Varlock's scheme, Naomi has to decide whether she'll go back to her old life or chart a new course. How she decides will affect her, her family, and the entire world.

New stories of this lesser known Doc Savage clone

For those not familiar, Jim Anthony was a sort-of Doc Savage clone published by Trojan/Culture publications, a publisher of the "spicy" pulps of sort-of soft porn. Strangely enough, it was owned by the same guy who owned DC Comics. Quite honestly, as a long-time pulp fan, I only learned of Jim Anthony in recent years.

Jim Anthony was 'half-indian, half-irish, and all American'. More emotional then Doc, he was a physical and mental marvel. He had a penthouse in the "Waldorf-Anthony" hotel he owned, had a secret mansion in the Catskills called "The Tepee", another resort in an oasis in the American Southwest called "The Pueblo". He was assisted by a small group of people include Tom Gentry, pilot and right-hand man; Mephito, his shaman grandfather; his butler, and Dolores, the daughter of a US Senator and his fiance.

His stories ran about 24 stories. For the first 10 or so, he was 'super Jim Anthony', where he fought against science-ficional menaces. After that, he was sort of 'de-powered' and lost most of his aides except for Tom. He was turned into more of a hard-boiled detective. He would soon be written by the authors' of Trojan's Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective. At the begining he was written by Victor Rousseau. Its known he wrote the first 3 and prehaps the others before the others took over.

This volume from Airship 27, has 3 new stories of Jim Anthony. All are great.

[more to come soon]

Classic Pulp Star Returns

Andrew Salmon, Erwin K.Roberts and B.C.Bell have written three fast paced, action adventure tales starring one of pulpdom's most memorable heroes, Jim Anthony. Half Comanche, half Irish and All American. Book sports a great cover by DC artist Chad Hardin, with marvelous interior spot illos by Pedro Cruz. These are terrific new tales done in the style of the original dime thrillers.

Publisher's Summary:

Chaos, confusion, and disintegration fall with swift, breathtaking disaster upon America! Already terrorized by a tottering, unstable world, American men and women are swept into a mad stampede when the great leaders of the nation are spirited away one by one to return as broken men, useless and inept. Here Jimmy Christopher - Operator #5 - sets forth on his most thrilling and dangerous exploit while the great brains of America surrender to madness and despair, as a leaderless people seethe in revolt against a government that is crumbling before their eyes. How can Operator #5 singlehandedly hope to prevail against that dread master of broken men?

A woman screamed once...and 1,000 guests in that great Washington ballroom stood frozen with terror as the blood-mad horde of naked savages turned the place into a reeking charnel house. But that was only the beginning.... America's greatest industrial and political leaders become, overnight, gibbering maniacs while a fear-frenzied, despairing nation revolts against a crumbling, dying government! How can Operator #5, alone, hope to prevail against this dread master of broken men?

They called this new threat to America's freedom the "man breaker". Is he an agent of a foreign power or a traitor burrowing through the national bowels like a termite of silent but relentless destruction? Does it matter when the country's most prominent leaders fall before his cruel tortures like spineless rag dolls? As savage riots spring up across the benighted land, Jimmy Christopher, Operator #5, takes up his pistol and rapier and undertakes a desperate manhunt for the mastermind before the nation plunges into a new dark age of doom.

Into this uncontrollable political crisis plunges Jimmy Christopher - only one man, but a man who embodied the American spirit and stands prepared to perish to protect his country.

From the pages of Operator #5 magazine, September 1934, comes "Master of Broken Men" read by Milton Bagby.

Title: Heart of the Sun

Subtitle: The Hands of War Book 1

Author: Jennifer Melzer

Narrator: New Fiction Writers

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-19-15

Publisher: Jennifer Melzer

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

Fatally wounded in a harrowing battle against Enoch Lousse and the king's Black Guard, Taven Grimmbane will die without a healer. Commander of the Argonel, Taven is the driving force behind the elven resistance. Without him, the last of the free elves will fall.

A healer's hands restore life, even to those undeserving - that's what Helti's grandmother taught her. Taken captive by the Argonel and forced to heal their dying commander, a human healer holds the life of one of the most brutal killers of men in her hands, just as he holds hers.

Helti wishes she could hate him for the things he's done to her people, but she embraced Taven's soul when she brought him back from the veil between life and death, and she knows there is beauty yet within.

A single act of mercy could turn the tides of war. A healer's compassion could touch the heart of a monster who doesn't believe he deserves peace or redemption. If the sun could descend from his throne to give his heart to a human girl, surely an elf can find it in himself to love outside his race...even if only for a little while.

Members Reviews:

Heart of Gold.

Jennifer Melzer has a gift for writing. This thing cannot be denied. Particularly, she as a gift for writing the kind of romance that makes you wish you were one of the characters in the story just so you could feel the thing for a little while.

Heart of the Sun is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking. It's just long enough to make you want more by the time you reach the end and hope that all of your wanting will not be in vain, because an author can't be that cruel, right?

Heart of the Sun is the story of Helti and Taven, two people part of very different races constantly at war for past atrocities dealt to both sides by each other.

It's a 'Beauty and the Beast' story with elves and humans. It's chock full of fantasy, brutality, and just a tiny hint of romance that blooms with each page turned.

Title: Spider #16 January 1935

Subtitle: The Spider

Author: Grant Stockbridge, RadioArchives.com

Narrator: Nick Santa Maria

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

Thousands of busy persons bent over their desks in the tallest building in the world, conducting the commerce of the nation, when suddenly the steel girders began to creak and twist, and the gigantic edifice swayed giddily in the rising wind. Never before had criminal brains devised a more cunning or a more horrible weapon to garner their ill-gotten treasures. And never before was the Spider so strenuously put to test - for the master, the man behind the devastation and death, eluded every suspicion, foresaw every contingency, and left no telltale clues behind him as he ravaged, slayed, and pillaged....

Richard Wentworth, working for once hand in hand with the organized forces of law and order, fights the grimmest battle of his long career. Can the Spider avenge the countless dead who have already fallen? Can he bring the murder master to the justice he so richly deserves?

Norvell W. Page described him this way: Richard Wentworth was a nemesis of the night, a swift and secret avenger who meted out lethal justice to those of the underworld who dared to raise their hands against humanity; he was the man known throughout half the civilized world as the Spider, and tonight he wore the disguise that would instantly identify him as that dread killer. A long, black cape covered twisted shoulders. A broad-brimmed hat tightly pulled down over a lank wig shadowed a beak-nosed face. The eyes that glittered there were steely with bitter hatred. As for Wentworth himself, he believed in his mission implicitly: He was, he told himself, no longer a human being but a cause. He was the Spider! He must live to defend humanity....

Nick Santa Maria reads this exciting suspense story of murder, mayhem, and mystery that perfectly evokes 1935 Manhattan: "The City Destroyer", originally published in The Spider magazine, January 1935.

Publisher's Summary:

By what strange twist of Fate did the fearful menace, which was to shadow every man and woman in New York City, first rear its venomous head in the distant Caribbean? When terror suddenly boarded a little tramp steamer and left crimson havoc littering its narrow decks, a spluttering wireless flashed the doom of every living thing aboard. Within a week, the same ghastly fate struck a gigantic new ocean liner, its luxurious cabins occupied by the elite and powerful of a dozen different nations! Death - swift and terrible - rode the ocean lanes. And the Spider - taken for once off guard - was supposedly dying in a hospital room on the very day when that terror from the seas first showed itself above the city skyline. How can the Spider, fighting death himself, help the nation he loves in her hour of greatest need?

The great pulp magazines of the 1930s and '40s produced a number of heroes, but none as action oriented as the Spider. From October 1933 to December 1943, the Spider was the scourge of the underworld, doling out his own particular brand of justice and imprinting his dreaded red Spider seal on the foreheads of those he killed for the good of mankind.

The Spider followed the established pulp pattern of a wealthy man-about-town, Richard Wentworth III, master of disguise, dilettante of the arts, in perfect physical condition, and completely devoted to the pursuit of justice for the downtrodden, no matter what the cost to himself or loved ones. Secretly donning a decrepit black hat, a tattered black cape, a false hunch to his shoulders, a lank wig of stringy hair, an application of sinister face makeup, and a pair of .45 automatics, Wentworth prowls the streets of New York as his Spider alter ego, chasing down criminal masterminds bent on enslaving or destroying humanity.

Nick Santa Maria reads "Builders of the Black Empire" with all the intensity of his superb talent. Originally published in The Spider magazine, October 1934.
