My Top 5 Indie Books of 2013-2014!
A couple days ago I posted my top 5 traditionally published books of 2013-2014, but that still leaves my top 5 indie reads which were equally as awesome. I wish this list was longer because there were so many unique and wonderful indie books released in 2013-2014. But alas, these were my faves.
1. Silicon Man by William Massa
William Massa’s third book tops the list. I was lucky enough to get my hands on an advanced copy and damn it was good. Silicon Man is an intelligent techno-thriller where the line between man and machine has never been more unclear.
2. REHO by David Denham
David Denham’s debut novel is an instant post-apocalyptic classic. Part Mad Max and part Falling Skies with a touch of steampunk, this is one hell of a read. We are introduced to the unforgettable character of Reho as he battles his way across the OldWorld that’s been invaded by an advanced alien race called the Hegemons.
3.100 Days in Deadland by Rachel Aukes
Looking for a unique twist on the zombie genre? Look no further. Unforgettable characters Cash and Clutch journey through a post-apocalyptic world where zombies reign. This well-written story uses the classic story of Dante’s Inferno to put a shambling twist on a well-worn genre. Book II: Deadland’s Harvest is out now.
4. Gabriel’s Watch by Noah Fregger
Here’s another unique post-apocalyptic story written by a first-time author. In his debut, Noah introduces the reader to a world that’s been reduced to wastelands. Several species are fighting for dominance, but will humanity survive? The sequel, Gabriel’s Sacrifice is out now.
5. The Human Forged by Anthony J. Melchiorri
I had the pleasure of beta reading this one and I’m so glad I was given the opportunity. The Human Forged is an intelligent and fresh look at a frightening future where clones are not science fiction, but reality. Anthony brings a science background that makes his work well worth reading.
