History told like it was meant to be!

This book is a fantastic offering for anyone looking for exceptional historical fiction. I particularly enjoyed the work of Mark Gelineau, whose story "The Hanged Man: The 13 Coils" captures brilliantly the feeling of old world Wales and the violence and passion that characterized the lives of its inhabitants. Expertly paced, seasoned with just the right blend of natural and supernatural elements, and filled with a myriad of details that place the reader amid the dark times surrounding the story's protagonist, Gelineau draws his reader into a tale that begs the turning of every next page. Here's to hoping for more from this great group of writers!

3 New Heroes to Follow

Each story a unique window into the life of a new pulp action hero. Each new hero draws you in and leaves you waiting for the sequel which cannot arrive soon enough! I immediately latched onto the Hanged Man as my overall favorite in this compilation. Revenge and justice have been elegantly woven together in Mark Gelineau's introduction to the Hanged Man, a gruesome hero you will not be able to help but root for! Looking forward to more adventures from all of these authors!

Fiverse History and Satifying

Each of these stories shows the definitive style of its creator, diverse and entertaining. However, they also appear to be an introduction to specific characters, which makes me wonder if more stories involving them are in store. Indeed, âThe Hanged Manâ could well be part of a longer novel, which would be a very eerie piece indeed.

All in all, these three offerings are entertaining, each one just long enough to read in one sitting, with the right touch of mystery, suspense, and a bit of a chill.

This novel was supplied by one of the authors and no remuneration was involved in the writing of this review.

Title: The Amber Shadows

Author: Lucy Ribchester

Narrator: Lucy Scott

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-02-16

Publisher: Simon & Schuster UK

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

In a place where everyone is keeping secrets all the time, how do you know who you can trust? A brilliant novel of lies and intrigue at Bletchley Park by the author of the best-selling debut The Hourglass Factory. Perfect for all fans of The Imitation Game.

On a delayed train, deep in the English countryside, two strangers meet. It is 1942, and they are both men of fighting age, though neither is in uniform. As strangers do in these days of war, they pass the time by sharing their stories. But walls have ears, and careless talk costs lives....

At Bletchley Park, Honey Deschamps spends her days at a Typex machine in Hut 6, transcribing decrypted signals from the German army. One winter's night, as she walks home in the blackout, she meets a stranger in the shadows. He tells her his name is Felix, and he has a package for her.

The parcel, containing a small piece of amber, postmarked from Russia and branded with two censor's stamps, is just the first of several. Someone is trying to get a message to her, but who? As a dangerous web weaves ever tighter around her, can Honey uncover who is sending these mysterious packages and why before it's too late?

Members Reviews:

Unsatisfying novel!

The Amber Shadows by Lucy Ribchester starts off in December of 1942 at Bletchley Park. Honey Deschamps is on her way to her lodgings when she is stopped by Felix Plaidstow and his dog, Nijinksy. Felix states he works in Hut 6 in the park and he has a package for Honey that was misdelivered. Honey examines the package in the privacy of her room at Mr. & Mrs. Steadmanâs (her skinflint landlors). The postmark has Cyrillic letters on it (Russian), and she finds a small square piece of amber inside. Honey ends up tossing the package into the trash. The next day she is at her desk decoding messages on her Typex machine when she receives another similar package. The amber reminds Honey about a missive she saw about a year ago regarding the Germans dismantling the Amber Room from the Catherine Palace and a story her brother told her about their father being its curator. Honey receives more of the mysterious amber packages. Are they from a lost treasure or is Honey being tested? Honey is unsure of who she should trust and turns to the mysterious Felix. Can they unravel the clues and solve the amber puzzle?

The Amber Shadows sounded like such an intriguing story. World War II, amber, coded messages, Bletchley Park, and a mystery. Unfortunately, the blurb was better than the novel. The book wandered and rambled on forever. It lacked focus. I was not a fan of the authors writing style (believe she is trying to set an atmosphere). Honey kept making comparisons between her situation and the movie Suspicion (with Cary Grant). I found it distracting (odd) and it did not enhance the story. I do wish to commend the author on her research and realistic portrayal of life at Bletchely. My rating for The Amber Shadows is 2 out of 5 stars (I did not like it). The mystery was lacking. It can easily be solved early in the story (it is obvious). Honey is lacking in her investigative skills. She makes very little progress until the end of the story when all is revealed. I struggled to wade through The Amber Shadows. I was never able to get into the story. The ending is very unsatisfying (made the whole mystery seem pointless).

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Once you get past the Greek warrior Bellerophon and his esoteric-laced crystals, past the menacing black dragon Ophis, past the sinister giant Sinibaldus, past the black-heart Castellan Rugerius, past the enchanted creatures haunting Eagles Pass and the treacherous Fabbro family ruling Parthenope, you'll discover that The Crystal Crux: Betrayal is a love story, a tale of light and faith in a land of darkness, war and hopelessness. Pero de Alava has sinned against the powers-that-be. His elevated paranoia has made him indecisive and given life to frequent hallucinations and troubling visions. The supernatural is colliding with reality and the caballero fears he is losing his mind. His plans to wed Anthea Manikos unravel quickly. His best friend, Francis Whitehall, the Griffin, can't reach him. He accepts no advice from anyone. He curses God because he has seen the prosperity of the wicked and envied them. Will his quest into hell help him right his mind again or will his jealousy drive him to be as unjust as those he despises?

Emperor Henry VI has died. He can no longer protect his pawns. Brother betrays brother, friend betrays friend. As Zor always says, "Bravest blood flows first." The heart has been struck. It is only day one and the leaves are falling, snapping off at the stems, missed opportunities drifting away, swirling in the breeze towards the coldness of the grave. So many regrets. "Every malevolent act you henceforth commit in the name of justice, will only disconnect you from the greater good you are swearing to perform. You will be broken and become the evil thing you loathe."

Members Reviews:

I would recommend it just for the writing

What I liked: The writing was very good, eloquent, imaginative, and with good dialogue. I especially liked the scene with the dragon. The main story - once it started - was also very good. The characters are very real and the bad guys very bad!

What I didn't like: The main story took too long to start. The backstory took up a good hunk of the beginning and would have been better placed here and there within the main story. I would have given up on it if I hadn't promised I'd read it, but I'm glad I didn't for the reasons above. I'm not sure if other readers will wade through that fractured beginning. I also don't like the ending. Werner cut it off in mid-story. I imagine he did this to get you to pick up the second book, but for a saga like this (and from what I can tell, this will be a sage), you need to give the reader a bit more of the main story, round out the protagonist's first phase of his quest or at least bring him to the beginning of the next phase of that quest, not leave him stuck

someplace. The story is good enough (once it starts) to make the reader come back for book two, even if more were told in book one because of the reasons I give above.

Pick it up

A nice mix of fiction and fantasy. There are some chunky pieces of narrative in here, just right though for a book of this nature. Clearly a talented writer, I already have book two lined up to read. The nice thing about this book is that it did what I like most in a book and that is to take me away to some place else and once I arrived, the author had me captivated. Slow in parts but perhaps necessary this is a book for those who like a bit of flavour. I often struggle with historical fiction especially if the author is showing off their knowledge.

Review by Author Darlene Campbell

I loved the authenticity of the time period in this novel, the genuine heart-felt struggles and triumphs of the characters. It is a must-read for Civil War era fans. The author's use of sensory detail bring this book to life.

History buff finds outstanding book

This is a wholesome book that is difficult to put down. My normal bedtime of 11PM got fractured as I got lost in the book and finished it at 3 AM. This has rarely happened. I think that everyone will appreciate this well written book !

Help to fill the hole left by the ending of ...

Help to fill the hole left by the ending of Downton Abby. Could this be a new series on BBC?

Great, but

Book is great reminds me of Downton Abby , but - how many chapters? At 2 bucks per chapter it's getting expensive

certainly a very good read!

I loved all the episodes, just like I was enthralled by Downton Abbey. A pageturner, I could not waite to find out what was happening to my favourite characters.

Would prefer as complete book and not installments

While I really enjoy this. I would prefer to wait until the book is released in it's entirety instead of having to pay by chapter. Good marketing ploy but annoying.

Good Read

A nice continuation of the story begun in the first book of the series. A good read for all people.

Publisher's Summary:

It's 92 AD. The imperial city of Rome rules Western civilization. A young man named Marco from Corinth joins a small team of brilliant engineers to work on classified projects. Titus, the Roman Prefect of Egypt, knew Marco's father and he sponsors the young man, who then promptly falls in love with Titus' daughter, Paula.

Populated by native Egyptians, colonized by Greeks, settled by Jewish immigrants, and ruled by the Romans, the huge city of Alexandria is a cultural melting pot that frequently boils over. At least once a month, highly organized insurgents emerge to harass the Roman Army's occupational forces and then quickly disappears back into the alleys and apartments. Titus orders Marco's team to find a new weapon to help defeat the rebels. They create a shockingly powerful device, but before they can deliver it to Titus, the rebels obtain it and begin murdering the engineers to keep the device secret from the Romans.

A mysterious woman named Nebit, young, beautiful, and wealthy, befriends Marco, but as he tries to stay faithful to Paula, he also questions her true intentions because of her past history and her belief that she is the reincarnation of Egypt's last Pharaoh.

A strong, balanced mix of history and fiction, built on the junction of character and plot!

From jbgarner58.wordpress.com:

Historical fiction has always been a cuisine of some consternation for yours truly. You see, I am something of a history buff (I had early dreams of being a history teacher, even) and, obviously, Iâm also a big fiction fan. Yet, while I love both foods separately, I often find the mixing of the two to fall short of the sum of the parts. The war between historical fact and fiction interpretation often leads to a clash of flavors, leaving one side of the taste equation unbalanced, spoiling the mix. Still, that doesnât mean it canât be done well. The question, then, is whether todayâs chef pulls out a winning recipe from that struggle or it simply sours.

Before we figure that out, letâs recite the Starving Review Creed:

I attempt to rate every book from the perspective of a fan of the genre

I attempt to make every review as spoiler-free as possible

As I brought up the question of historical vs. fictional balance first, I am obligated to deal with it first. Lighthouse does, despite the precarious nature of the spices involved, strike a fine balance between the history of the early A.D. years in Roman Egypt and the need to tell an exciting and entertaining piece of fiction. The chef did his homework, studying the flavors and tastes of his era of choice, but add plenty of his own to the pot. A particularly nice touch is an authorâs section after the tale speaking of both the historical influences and the deviations, giving a splash of education to the stew as well. It holds together quite well, avoiding the textbook-like consistency of an overly historical piece, while not running off the rails as more purely fictional accounts can.

Do the rest of the classical story elements also hold up? The cast of characters arrayed, historical and fictional, weave an excellent tapestry of the diverse nature of Alexandria, the place setting for the meal, and our main characters are explored in depth. Some of the secondary characters are a bit sketchier, but it detracts little from the overall presentation.

Likewise, the core plot is well-arrayed.

Title: Zeppelin Tales, Volume 1

Author: Jim Beard, I.A. Watson

Narrator: Bob Kern

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-22-16

Publisher: RadioArchives.com

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Clippers of the Clouds

In the early 20th century, German count Ferdinand von Zeppelin pioneered the creation of rigid, lighter-than-air craft capable of long-distance flights. During World War I, they were adapted for military use as long-range bombers wreaking havoc upon Great Britain from their lofty positions high above the clouds, where fixed-winged fighters could not reach them. After the war zeppelins became pleasure ships utilized in luxury trans-Atlantic flights and were highly popular. The golden era of the airship was the 1930s - the period of the pulps - and it is no surprise their romantic images would inspire pulp writers of the time. The original monthly Zeppelin Stories was produced solely to highlight these magnificent flying machines in exciting, colorful, and fast-paced adventures.

Now, Airship 27 Productions, itself bearing the image of these high-flying cruisers, launches a brand-new series devoted to airships. In this debut volume, you will thrill to the exploits of Jim Beard's new hero, Tracer Talbot, as he encounters a mysterious pirate airship and her crew. While writer I.A. Watson sets off on an aerial adventure aboard an experimental zeppelin built to explore the skies of an alien dimension. Join us as Airship 27's Zeppelin Tales, Volume One soars into the stratosphere of the imagination on this, its maiden flight.

Members Reviews:

Wonderful read... highly enjoyable.

Well, I finished reading "Zeppelin Tales" by Jim Beard and I.A. Watson last night. I have to say it was a wild ride, indeed. Breezed through this read over a couple of days, and absolutely loved it. A very well written, and downright fun entry in the New Pulp genre. This release consists of two stories, 'Death Seeds the Clouds' by Jim Beard, and 'Airship 27' by I.A. Watson. In the opening short story we are introduced to Jim's hero, Tracer Talbot. Tracer ( so nicknamed by his father, who developed a new type of tracer bullet for the Allies) makes his living as an air courier working along the Canadian border. Possessing a genial personality and a penchant for breaking into song when the mood strikes him, he travels the skies in his trusty plane Anna Lynne. When a mysterious new client shows, Tracer takes to the skies. After he (literally) runs across a massive zeppelin (The Silver Cloud) and loses his airplane in the process, the adventure truly begins. What is the purpose of the The Silver Cloud, and who is it's shadowy master, Captain Dusk? Where does his client, Miss Smith fit in the proceedings, and is she at all what she seems? I have to say that the author perfectly evokes the feeling of another time and place with this story. It is easily something I could have read in the original pulp magazines of the era. The story is largely driven by the hero, and Mr. Beard creates a likable, come hell or high water character in Tracer. The story is very fast paced and streamlined. My one complaint, and it's not much of one, is this; the story reads as an opening salvo in a collection of shorts. It left me wanting more entries with Tracer, and I definitely hope to see more stories featuring the character. An excellent story. Moving on to to the second entry (which is novella length), we are presented with 'Airship 27' by I.A. Watson. I'm familiar with Mr. Watson's work on Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective, and must say that I'm a fan. We are introduced to Harry Finian, a former U.S.
