We will be selecting books which try to appeal to fans of Harry Potter, so our members will be interested in them.~
The rules are pretty simple - simply reply to this thread with your email address and what format you would like, and the author will email you a copy of the book to read on your computer or e-reader. You will have 4 weeks to complete the book and post your review. Please note, you are being given a free book in exchange for your participation, so failure to post a review may result in exclusion from future R&R's. Please be sure to post a link to your review in this thread when you are done.
This month's R&R is...
Title:Earthman Jack vs. The Ghost Planet
Author:Matthew Kadish
Genre:YA Science Fiction Adventure
Formats Available:mobi (for kindle), epub (for nook/ibooks), pdf
Synopsis: Jack Finnegan only has to worry about dealing with school bullies, suffering through detention with his homeroom teacher, and getting noticed by the girl of his dreams... at least until an army of evil aliens invade Earth. Suddenly, this teenage slacker finds himself at the center of a galaxy-spanning conflict - where the lives of everyone on the planet are in jeopardy, soldiers use Quantum Physics to become superheroes, and the enemy uses some mysterious form of magic to make themselves practically unstoppable.
The secret to ending the conflict and saving the universe may lie in a powerful ancient spaceship, which it seems can only be flown by Earthmen. Now, Jack and a rag-tag group of allies must overcome impossible odds, defeat an unkillable enemy, rescue the princess of the galaxy, and save the universe from a threat more terrifying than any it has ever faced.
Can this underachiever rise to the occasion and become the hero Earth needs? The fate of all life in the galaxy may rest in his hands.
Special Note: The author has dubbed this book "Harry Potter meets Star Wars," and it already has some good reviews here on Goodreads. It's already an Amazon Best-Seller, ranking #1 for the Superhero Fantasy category and #34 for Sci-Fi Adventure.
