Title: Radiate

Author: C. A. Higgins

Narrator: Fiona Hardingham

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-23-17

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

In the follow-up to Lightless and Supernova, C. A. Higgins again fuses science fiction, suspense, and drama to tell the story of a most unlikely heroine: Ananke, once a military spacecraft, now a sentient artificial intelligence.

Ananke may have the powers of a god, but she is consumed by a very human longing: to know her creators. Now Ananke is on a quest to find companionship, understanding, and even love. She is accompanied by Althea, the engineer who created her and whom she sees as her mother. And she is in search of her "father", Matthew, the programmer whose code gave her the spark of life.

But Matthew is on a strange quest of his own, traveling the galaxy alongside Ivan, with whom he shares a deeply painful history. Ananke and her parents are racing toward an inevitable collision, with consequences as violent as the birth of the solar system itself - and as devastating as the discovery of love.

Members Reviews:

Kudos for Radiate

Radiate completes the Lightless trilogy in superior fashion, with a conclusion that is at once structurally and emotionally satisfying. Radiate follows Ananke through a path of self-realization to an inevitable point of no return, where her mother, Althea, must make a major, irrevocable decision. The man whom Ananke sees as her father, Matthew, pairs with Ivan through multiple dangersâtogether and separatelyâheading toward this final decision. Higgins has written a masterful novel steeped in science and populated with well-drawn characters whose humanity the reader will recognize and identify with right through the ending; her writing shows maturity, attention to detail, and stylistic cogency. Radiate concludes the Lightless trilogy in excellent fashion. Surely Radiate â as well as the entire trilogy â is eminently Hugo- and Nebula-worthy.

Nice ending to the trilogy

This third book in the series was not as good as the first two, but the author wrapped up the story nicely and kept it entertaining. Lots of back story in every other chapter bogged down the story a bit. Some of the flashbacks were bringing back story details from the first two books, but enough was new background on the characters to keep it interesting.

Great ending.

Really loved it. I agree with another reviewer about book two. It was almost not necessary. Book three was fantastic.

Read it!

Great trilogy! It weaves a complex web yet stays easy and gripping. Well written and all the pieces came together in an impressive way.

Five Stars

Page-turning conclusion to the trilogy. Creepiest sentient computer since HAL in 2001--creepier than HAL, in fact. Five stars.

Title: The Kili Wanna Affair: A Galactic Guild Comedy

Subtitle: George & Sali Adventures, Book 1

Author: Scott A. Combs

Narrator: Tom Conry

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-11-17

Publisher: Nutz & Boltz Productions LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Sali Terri and George Shooters - two rookie officers from the Galactic Guild - find themselves in way over their heads with political intrigue, working to ratify a treaty with the cantankerous locals of a small planet called Kili Wanna. Every time an agreement is about to be reached with the current emperor, someone kills him off, nullifying the planet's induction into the Galactic Guild. The madness ramps up when outside influences take the matter into their own hands and flood the podunk planet with junk food in an attempt to corrupt their simple lifestyle and force them into an alliance.

Humor flows from every minute of this satirical tale. The Kili Wanna Affair delivers on laughs and adventure that defies its genre.

Members Reviews:

4.5/5 A study in ridiculousness

Summary: A semi-competent ensign gets assigned as the liaison to Kili Wanna with the job of getting them to sign a treaty with the Galactic Guild. What follows is a series of predictable yet amusing events.

Additional Comments:

- Dont take the book too seriously. If youre looking for serious, you are definitely in the wrong place.

- At times, the book was kind of annoying, but I broke it up with a family drama/romance book so its all good. In the end, it leaves one with a mildly amused feeling, which is a great note to end on.

- The narrator did a lovely job with all the voices. Definitely worth getting the audiobook. Grab the free kindle version and you usually get a discount on the audio.

- Content warnings: brief mention of nudity, a few sophomoric references to Georges breasts, and a few curses. Most of the curses were confined to tick-tick-pops.

- Sali Terris a dude, so of course George Shooters is a lady.

- I love Bethel. Shes hilarious, and she does everything.

- You can get a feel for the tone of the book by some of the names. i.e. Snookums, royal cat like thing. I wont attempt to spell that because I heard the audible version.

- The characters are more like caricatures, but thats definitely done on purpose. Salis a (lovable) bumbling idiot who happens to get everything right. George is a top-of-the-class, straight-laced sort who ends up being the assistant for the bumbling idiot.

- The styles like A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy without quite so much dry humor. (Its more in-your-face stupid humor like Flex being an Arnoldian and always wanting to break things or maim people.)

Conclusion: Amusing opening to whats sure to be a series of galactic misadventures.

Sali and George Deliver a Treat(y)

Dali Terri and his aide, George Shooters have the unenviable assignment of negotiating a treaty between the Galactic Guild and the Kili Wanna emperor. Mysteriously, the emperors are assassinated before they can sign the treaty or the GG representative becomes Kili Wannan barbecue. To add to the problem, pirates are flooding the planet with fast food. The story has a good number of comic episodes that made me groan, giggle, or laugh. This is a must listen to remedy a dismal day or two. Tom Conry's rendition of the story is well done, but his delivery may be a bit rapid for some.

Title: Darkship Revenge

Subtitle: Darkship, Book 3

Author: Sarah A. Hoyt

Narrator: Kymberly Dakin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-02-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The popular Darkship series returns!

After winning the civil war in Eden, Athena returns to her calling, collecting powerpods with her husband Kit. Now weeks away from Earth, she goes into labor. To make matters worse, a strange ship attacks Athena and Kit's Cathouse and kidnaps Athena's husband. That ship is called Je Reviens. It's a name steeped in history - and not the good kind of history.

Hot on Kit's trail, Athena discovers that you shouldn't name a ship Je Reviens unless you intend it to return. The genetically modified Mules are back, and they have a plan to prevent themselves from being exiled ever again. And if the Mules win, the best thing humanity can hope for is slavery.

The worst is death.

While a bio-engineered plague wreaks havoc on the forces of liberty, Athena must risk herself, her husband, and her child for the survival of humanity.

The Mules may be about to find out what revenge truly is: one angry mother.

Members Reviews:

So much heart!

I loved the other Darkship books, but this one hit me in the feelz from the very first page.

Maybe because I understand that immediate confusion after the child to whom you just gave birth is placed in your arms, and maybe even a slight bit of panic (my first thought was "What do I do with him now, this little human I've created?")

Maybe it's because I understand the innate need to protect said child, and the burning, passionate, almost all-consuming desire to protect the ones you love at any cost.

Maybe it's because I get the almost disparate emotions a mother experiences walking that fine line between "this little human is a stranger whom I can't understand" and "this little human is my responsibility, my heart, and my soul."

What Sarah Hoyt is REALLY good at is emotionally connecting the reader to the characters, but at the same time not duct taping the reader to them and moving the story along at an exciting, interesting, readable pace. Whether it's childlike, damaged, but at the same time brilliant Fuse, or the heroic, vulnerable Kit, or the courageous, too-stubborn Athena, the reader moves with the characters, instead of being tied to them.

Long and short of it is I love this book! Great addition to my library!

Fast paced adventure with a healthy dose of motherhood.

Oh...wow.

This is the best one in the Darkship series yet.

First, this is a fast paced science fiction adventure story. Don't forget that as I write the rest of this.

At the end of the last book, Athena was pregnant. At the beginning of this one, she goes into labor while their ship is under attack by forces unknown. And when her husband Kit does not return from making repairs after the brief, inconclusive space battle she has to struggle out of her birthing bed, take care of her newborn infant and attempt to find out what happened to her husband.

The story is in many ways about what it means to be a parent, specifically a mother. Not just Athena, but others in the story are put into positions to act as parents to others. In addition to her own child Athena finds she not only has responsibility for her newborn daughter, but is put into the position of acting as a parent to a "relative" she never knew she had.

Title: Hair Power

Publisher's Summary:

Terminal cancer patient Quiti walks into an abandoned building, planning on taking her life. Instead, she encounters a telepathic ball of hair that insists it is an alien seeking to facilitate diplomatic communication on Earth.

Quiti assumes it is all a hallucination conjured up by her brain tumor. Because of this assumption, when she saves the alien's life and it insists on doing Quiti a favor in return, she only asks for her hair back. She soon discovers, however, that the creature's gift extends much further than her new locks that can change color with a thought.

As her powers grow and her deadly illness goes into remission, Quiti quickly realizes that there are those that would want to use her for her abilities and is forced to leave behind everything that she knew.

Will this blessing curse her to a life on the run, or does the mysterious hairball have more in store for her?

Piers Anthony, critically acclaimed author of the New York Times best-selling Xanth series, brings together humor and adventure in this original story of loyalty, friendship, extraordinary powers, and hair. Dreaming Big Publications

Not what I thought it was going to be

Any additional comments?

Quiti is a 20 year old, plain girl with a brain tumor. She has seen the strain that it has put on her parents and she decides that she is going to kill herself. When she gets to the site, she meets a giant hairball that needs her help. Because she sets it in the sun in return it gives her a head of hair. But this is special hair that gives her special abilities. This puts her on the governments radar and goes on the run. She meets some wonderful people along the way and learns that she is not the only hairball around. But this knowledge is not going to keep her the others safe. She is going to have to make a stand.

I absolutely love the Incarnations of Immortality and the Zanth series so I was over the moon to review Hair Power. Hair Power started out well, you feel for Quiti and can understand why she wants to commit suicide. But once the hairball gives her hair I started getting kind of irritated with it. She has to consume large amounts of food for the hair. But instantly she becomes a knock down, gorgeous girl that is clearly highly intellectual and is over the top with anything relating to sex.

I think the part that just grated on my nerves was how she is now super smart but she talks like she was a robot. Her dialogs were just rough and choppy. Then there was Roque and Desiree. Im not a prude but that whole section just got to me. Plus I was screaming about the ending and not in a good way. Really?!?! Mind you I have to remind myself that Piers Anthony did come up with cat-ass-trophies in Xanth.

Over all that book was not as bad as I am making it out to be. Yes, it is supposed to be ridiculous and it is an over the top fantasy. It is very imaginative and I did not expect the powers of the hair. I listened to the audiobook and I feel Kristin James did a fantastic job narrating the book. She was clear on the different characters and has a beautiful voice. It is the start of a series and there was a lot of ground to lay. I cant wait to see what happens in Hair Suite.

I received Hair Power from Dream Big Publications for free. This has in no way influenced my opinion of this book.

Language: English

Release date: 04-18-17

Publisher: Riptide Publishing

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 28 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Making a name for myself as a Villain in Panopolis is hard work. Six months ago, my boyfriend broke me out of jail. Now he's spending most of his time defending our turf against other Villains he accidentally freed along with me. And my new psychic powers are not only impossible to control, but they're also giving me migraines.

But it's not all doom and gloom. My skills are improving every day, and Raul - aka the Mad Bombardier - and I have never been happier. That is, until my first solo job is interrupted by a mysterious woman who tells me that Raul has been kidnapped by a ruthless new Villain. The only way to free him is to do a job for Maggot, a man with scary ideas and an even scarier superpower.

I can't go to the cops or a Hero for help. Odds are they wouldn't listen to me anyway. If I fail, Raul will be killed. If I succeed, we'll both be bound to a man who'll stop at nothing to put Panopolis on the path to civil war. It looks like the only way to win is to take out the competition.

Members Reviews:

... someone is bound to get burned

What made the experience of listening to Where There's Fire the most enjoyable?

Edward's continual growth as a person, coming to terms with his new found ability.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Where There's Fire?

Edward exacting his revenge on the villain that hurt Raul.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Edward broke into GenCorp.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Where there's fire.... someone is bound to get burned.

Any additional comments?

After listening to the first book, I had to dive right into this one. The story picks up several months after the events in Where there's smoke and Edward is adjusting to life as a villain, life with Raul. Everything is going as well as can be expected until one of the villains Inadvertently freed from Prison when Raul broke Edward out decides he wants to control the villains. And he wants Edward under his thumb. Now, exactly how do you think this demon will achieve that? If you're thinking kidnapping and torturing his lover, you'd be right.

Loved the storyline for the most part and absolutely enjoyed the narration. I really liked how Russo made the bad guy sound as disgusting as his moniker.... Maggot. And here's where we get to what I didn't enjoy so much. This villains "gift" is disgusting and I almost threw up in lunch. So be warned, there are a couple of 10-15 minute sections where you won't want to be eating or just eaten. Gross!

Aside from that, I really enjoyed the story.

4.5 Stars

Even with the (somewhat) cliffhanger ending...I loved this!

I loved Nick J. Russo's narration, especially his character voices, which are so good in this series (his voice for Raul makes me swoon).

In this installment of the Panapolis series Edward has a tentative grip on his new powers, and he and Raul are getting Edward ready to be a true villain.

Publisher's Summary:

A new entry in the legendary, critically acclaimed under jurisdiction series!

To end a genocidal menace, a retired torturer must again take up his hated trade.

Andrej Koscuisko is a former Fleet Medical Officer for the enormous totalitarian star empire, the Jurisdiction. But when he served in the Fleet, Andrej's real job was not medicine, at least not primarily medicine, but to act as a torturer of prisoners, whether they had information to give or not. To help him in his duties, Andrej was attended by "bond involuntaries" - slaves - men he'd come to look upon as friends and family. Finally, enough was enough. Andrej absconded with six of his Fleet-provided security slaves and sent them into the no-man's land of Gonebeyond Space - beyond the reach of the Jurisdiction's tyrannical Bench.

Now the Angel of Death, a savage terrorist organization from Andrej's system of origin, means to make Gonebeyond its own. But its ancestral enemy - the secret service of the Dolgorukij church, the Malcontent - has planted a double agent on the inside of the Angel of Death. Finally this interstellar menace might be destroyed forever.

But there is trouble. Andrej Koscuisko wasn't expected to escape from protective custody at Safehaven Medical Center and come looking for his freed bond involuntaries, and now the Malcontent faces Andrej's unplanned intervention at the worst possible time. Now the only way to save the mission and bring down an organization that has slain whole systems of men, women, and children is for Andrej to embrace the savagery in his own heart and once again take on the role of Judicial torturer - a role that he had fought long and hard to escape. He must deploy every dirty trick and brutal stratagem he knows against the Malcontent agent whose secret he has unwittingly betrayed.

Members Reviews:

deeply satisfying

though I hope it doesn't mark the end of either the Kosciusko or Jurisdiction novels. Maybe no more Andrej, but Ragnarok, ap Rhiannon, Two and Wheatfields? The Malcontent and Cousin Stanoczh? Kosciusko is an amazing person and I really regret having to leave him here. . .

many thanks, Susan Matthews for the years of stories (and the years waiting for books in between!).

Seems like an end to the series, but ...

Faster moving than previous stories in this series. It seems to conclude many interweaved timelines in good fashion. Satisfying to read, but likely only for recent readers of the antecedent stories. I've heard that more are planned in the series and there is no hint of the direction such stories may take.

Finally, a followup! Somewhat impaired as the full story is not complete!

A good book closing out the take of Andre. But, what about the folks on Ragnarök? Wnere will they go & when will we see a book about them?

Andrej comes out of retirement

Such a lovely surprise to read the new Susan Matthews book!! I often look at the ones read years ago, thinking I'd like to make time to reread them and wondering what she writes now. I'm delighted that this book is about the character who caught my imagination back then; the state torturer, coming out of retirement. I'm glad to know that Susan's books are doing well.

Five Stars

This conclusion was a long time coming, but worth the wait.

Publisher's Summary:

Denny Silver is just a normal college student living a not-so-normal life in the most haunted city in America.

Sure, her lover is a ghost, but in Savannah, that's not what's unusual.

What is strange is the influx of supernatural creatures roaming the streets looking to start trouble - with Denny specifically. To fight back against the wave of demons, she racks up one unusual companion after another - from ghosts to witches to demons.

In her search for answers to her supernatural problem, Denny discovers that she is a born demon hunter, and, no, she doesn't have any choice in the matter. Okay, so being possessed by an ancient demon doesn't exactly fit into her life plans, but somebody has to do it.

Denny must either accept the mantle of demon hunter or stand back helplessly as the dark forces destroy everything and everyone she's ever loved.

At least she can always pick up her sword and chain whip to go kick some demon ass. After all, it is her legacy, right?

An earlier version of this book was published as Demon Hunter by Linda Kay Silver. The story has since been updated and re-edited. Learn more at www.AlexWestmore.net.

Members Reviews:

Loved it.

Loved it. I've been a fan of the author for a while now. She is able to just suck you into the story and keep you hanging on. I don't suggest reading her work unless you have some time. For some reason her stories just won't let you go. Darkness Descends was a gripping paranormal that was full of mystery, intrigue, witches, confused normal humans and few demons thrown in. Well developed characters with surprises around every corner. I can't wait to read the next in the series.

Denny rocks

Denny Silver just wants to go to school and have a normal life. That is if having a ghost for a girlfriend is normal. Now Denny learns that to keep her family safe she must take up the family business. The Silver family legacy is being a Demon Hunter. No spoilers here just know Denny is a true Silver..

Action Packed!

Denny Silver rocks! I loved everything about this book! From the well developed characters with their little quirks to the action, dialogue and story, this book is fantastic.

amazing

I really enjoyed this story. It has a different take to it which is refreshing and the writing was very good. It kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next. I loved it and am so glad I got to review it.

Different, but in a good way....very interesting!

Different from the paranormal books I usually read, but a pleasant surprise.The main character is a 21 year old female, who discovers secrets about her family she never dreamed could exist, then is faced with accepting a future she really doesn't want...... There is some back and forth on her part, but seriously who could honestly say they wouldn't be hesitant?

I didn't realise this was religious fiction

What was most disappointing about Renee Van Dyke and Glenn Van Dyke s story?

The characters "ascending" and the "original" earth as the biblical Eden was a bit much

I prefer hard SF over bible analogies

Publisher's Summary:

Go beyond the film with a novelization featuring new scenes and expanded material.

As the shadows of the Empire loom ever larger across the galaxy, so do deeply troubling rumors. The Rebellion has learned of a sinister Imperial plot to bring entire worlds to their knees. Deep in Empire-dominated space, a machine of unimaginable destructive power is nearing completion. A weapon too terrifying to contemplate...and a threat that may be too great to overcome.

If the worlds at the Empire's mercy stand any chance, it lies with an unlikely band of allies: Jyn Erso, a resourceful young woman seeking vengeance; Cassian Andor, a war-weary rebel commander; Bodhi Rook, a defector from the Empire's military; Chirrut Ïmwe, a blind holy man; his crack-shot companion, Baze Malbus; and K-2SO, a deadly Imperial droid turned against its former masters. In their hands rests the new hope that could turn the tide toward a crucial Rebellion victory - if only they can capture the plans to the Empire's new weapon.

But even as they race toward their dangerous goal, the specter of their ultimate enemy - a monstrous world unto itself - darkens the skies, waiting to herald the Empire's brutal reign with a burst of annihilation worthy of its dreaded name: Death Star.

Members Reviews:

Great story but not well written

I enjoyed the movie and normally the novels tied to movies are good as they give more details. However for thus book I just didn't find the additional information that interesting. Also the author's effort to explain Jyn's emotions was like a scraping thing scraping at my brain

Shame about the sound effects

Great story, but its a shame that the sound effects make listening difficult in places.
