David #26
ZomoSapienS by David B. Moon
2013, 175 pages
$2.99 ebook, $8.99 paperback
Review: "[...] another book on zombies but this one turned out really good. I found it refreshing and absolute creativeness. Nowadays U can go down the list of copy vs copy of authors who feed off of each others work with a newly added twist/ This book parts from the mundane with a fresh approach and shows someone capable of taking a rehashed subject and making it a worthwhile read. I hope he writes more. "

Of Sudden Origin - Omnibus by C. Chase Harwood
2014, 349 Pages
$3.99 Kindle (iBook, Nook, Kobo) $11.99 Paperback
A review: "You can't give a man who lives in the woods a book like this! Absolutely rocked my socks off. Non-stop OMFG action. The writing on this one was top notch. Great story plot. Great timing. Characters were awesomely developed. You just do not know how this one will end. If you like Zombie Apocalypse stuff then you will love this. Read it now before it's too late!" "

Triste is a mercenary & makes enemies for fun: sub-human, post-human, alien. He finds pieces of the puzzle. Events draw in beings as old as the stars.
New twists on First Contact, the Rapture and God."

2015, 382 pages
ebook $4.99, $14.99 print
"For hundreds of years, a ninth century mosque guarded a secret, an artifact covered with strange spores. Zilla tinkered with the spore’s DNA until a biological weapon emerged, one that obliterated all but a fraction of humanity. A new creature spawned inside the rotting corpses.

Gladstone. "

Partholon by D. Krauss
2013, 311 pages
Kindle: 6.99 Paperback: 13.99
No tiny blurb provided, so I'm grabbing a bit of the long one:
"Based on an old Irish legend of the same name, Partholon is a brutal look at how the just and the civilized respond to anarchy. It will delight lovers of action and military science fiction, like John Scalzi's Old Man's War or Robert Ferrigno's Prayers for the Assassin."

Unknown Object by William Soppitt
2014, 242 pages
Kindle $1. Print $6.49
"An object impacts earth, but this is no ordinary meteor. The object rises and continues to impact at various locations. Undetectable by modern technology, it decimates the planet. Only a young woman, made mute by a close encounter with the object, stands in the way of total annihilation. Does anyone have faith in her? "

I've not read the 2nd or 3rd in Red Rising, but it's next on my reading list. and same with Auri's story. I was looking forward to the third book in the King Killer Chronicles, and have been waiting a long time. Her story wasn't all that exciting to me, but not because I didn't like her character, but because I didn't learn much about her mystery it didn't seed that desire. But I like Rothfuss's voice, so I will read it.
I'm knee deep in the Way of Kings Trilogy. Really good. Book 1 started weird, but I pushed through it and glad I did because it all came together.
