When I write a review, I just like to tell people if I think they should see something or not, and why. AndI loved Battleship!
If you enjoy movies like Transformers, you’ll like Battleship. It’s a massive exploding can of whoop-a$$ that sets realism aside (note that this is NOT 2001: A Space Odyssey, Sphere, etc., so if you’re looking for “realistic” science fiction, you need to recalibrate your...

Season Of The Harvest by Michael R. Hicks is an action filled book, intriguing from the very beginning. The plot is great and falls into the category of what I call "Believable Sci-Fi." Though, it falls into that category just by a hair, which is...

Bona Fide Reflections
Hey, folks! I'm putting together a group of beta readers for DEAD SOUL, the latest novel of the IN HER NAME series. I've already got several, but am looking for a couple more. I'm mainly looking for folks to help critique the story and find its weak spots, things that strike you as odd, etc. I don't ask that beta readers look for spelling or grammar bloopers, but if you do notice some and pass them along, it would be most appreciated. :-)
This is on a pretty tight timeline, unfortunately: I'd like to have the feedback in by this coming Sunday, so please take that into account.
Anyway, if you're interested, please let me know by this afternoon today and I'll send you a copy (Kindle, PDF, or ePub format).
Thanks!
Mike

Mary Anita And The Second Liberation In Kenya Consider reading this book for dramatic entertainment full of African passion and flavour, culture, social life and politics.
