Thursday Thoughts: Reasons to Read…

My books, that is.

Why you might enjoy science fiction books written by Leon Stevens.Less alien species than Star Wars so it’s easier to keep track of.Kinda like Star Trek.Not hard sci-fi. No in-depth explanations of how the technology works. It just does. I know how a microwave works: you press the button and a minute later you have a hot Hot Pocket.Techno-babble. Yes, some. You have to have some techno-babble. That anti-matter relay isn’t going to uncouple itself without a phase inverter. Yeesh. And if here’s a neutrino surge in the tungsten charge thruster housing, there’s no option other than to re-route energy to the cesium gel. But then you’ll have to completely resynchronize the ventral chroniton propulsion nullifyer.No long detailed descriptions that don’t advance the plot. Probably why all my novels are novellas.Realistic dialogue. Sure there are people who can ramble on and on, but usually there is more back and forth.Humor. I try to make you chuckle at least once.Short stories that leave you scratching your headAffordable. $0.99 – $2.99 and also in Kindle Unlimited.And he writes poetry too.Oh, and the book link is easy to remember: http://books.linesbyleon.com/
