Augustine, i dont know what you like to read in general. I am new to the group but i loved the Riley Jenson guardian series by keri arthur. Amazing. She has a great twisting plot and an awesome romance/sex secondary plot. I could not put the book down. Which leads me to ask if anyone has any recommendations as i have not found a book to compare yet.
there's this new book out soon which looks good. I don't know if the romance is secondary to the storyline but the plot sounds really good! It's on goodreads, it's called Sovereign Hope. I think it's going to be part of a series, but i'm not sure...
thanks guys !! i've just read the plots and i found them very interesting..! this summer will be awesome;)
Dear Group Member:My Name is Timothy N. Stelly Sr. and I am the author of the HUMAN TRIAL scifi trilogy (All Things That Matter Press, 2008-1012). The book details the struggles endured by a scattershot group of survivors of an alien-launched thermal war that alters the earth’s climate to such a degree that most plant, human and animal life on earth dies. Subsequently these survivors unite with others and fight three epic battles with the enemy—which includes aliens, human-alien hybrids, and traitorous humans, as America attempts to rise from the ashes.
I would like to introduce you and your fellow members to my work by setting up a time to chat, or by answering questions sent to my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The...), and I will be happy to answer them.
For your convenience I have attached a synopsis of the three novels, all of which are available in paperback ($18.99) and kindle or nook versions ($5.99) from amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and allthingsthatmatterpress.com.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Timothy N Stelly Sr
Author, the HUMAN TRIAL TRILOGY
Human Trial (Science Fiction, 388 Pp.—Published January 10, 2009)
This end-of-the-world tale focuses on race and group dynamics, as a small band of humans seeks to survive a thermal warfare attack by intergalactic invaders. The result is the earth is left scorched and devoid of nearly all human and animal life. A scattershot group of survivors (who dub themselves “Mulholland’s Mad Dogs”), must work as one to not only endure the altered climate, but ward off marauders, rabid animals and overcome their own fears and prejudices.
The group discovers that they are test subjects in an alien experiment and that they must wrest the fate of mankind from the hands of otherworldly beings. Following the fierce leadership of Daron Turner and his pregnant co-worker Regina Jackson, this eclectic mix of humanity struggles to find essentials such as food, shelter, defense and electrical power. The group includes Dan, a committed do-as-your-told type; gangbanger Melvin Hicks; Rocks and Ray Earl--escaped prison inmates; a Christian couple; Barbara--a tough-talking widow, and several others.
The final confrontation mandates that the earth residents fight to protect their future: Regina’s unborn child.
Human Trial II: Adam’s War (Science Fiction, 386 Pp.—Published May, 2010)
After facing off with the aliens in the woods of Pleasant Valley, the MMD travel halfway across the continent, hoping to become members of a larger colony of survivors. Along they way, they encounter more battles with marauders and wild animals, and also have to deal with the mental disintegration of one of their members.
The MMD arrives in Big Springs, Nebraska, where they seek to assist in rebuilding society. Soon Daron finds himself at odds with the colony's leader, a megalomaniac named J.D. Cooks. Furthermore the colony has the appearance of a POW camp. When he sees that the area is patrolled by armed guards, Daron suggests to his cohorts that they develop a plan of escape, if needed.
Over the years Daron and Cooks engage in an epic battle of wits. While keeping an eye on Cooks, Adam discovers that the Colony leader is collaborating with aliens to create a species of human-alien hybrids. By this time, Adam is twenty and a student of military history and strategy. He leads a coup that leads to the destruction of Big Springs and a neighboring colony that has been infiltrated by hybrids.
However, the war is just beginning as Daron leads a small group of soldiers in a fight against an alien base in New Mexico, and Adam leads a ragtag army into the mountains of Ascencion, Mexico. There the final battle for mankind's survival takes place
Human Trial III: The Final Conflict (Science fiction, 494 Pp.)
Twenty-three years after the thermal attacks on earth, America is still rebuilding. The country has a new President—Thaddeus Lord, who has developed a plan to connect both ends of the country and make America once again, “a shining beacon of hope to the rest of the world.”
Meanwhile a war-weary Adam Turner is content to enjoy life with his family on the shores of Lake Consuela. It isn’t long before the President summons Adam, whom he wants to train the country’s fledgling armed forces. The person sent to convince Adam to come ion board is Colonel Tawanna Chenier, who almost singlehandedly destroyed the alien enclave in south Texas.
After the President is assassinated, Adam and Tawanna learn that a South American warlord named Barbosa possesses a nuclear weapon and is seeking the means to deliver it, to wage war against America. Barbosa is a dictator over a vast area, as Brazil has annexed several nearby countries. He has built a hybrid population that he uses as slaves and frontline soldiers against any potential attack.
With the country facing a nuclear strike, Adam and Tawanna lead a battalion of 200 raw recruits into the jungles of South America. Along the way they are hindered by a lack of resources, traitorous allies and nightmarish logistics. Also, there is the threat of alien strongholds in the Florida Everglades and Yellowstone National Park to contend with.
Despite the toils of war, the attraction between Adam and Tawanna builds, but their focus is on their duty, as they arrive in South America for what shapes up to be the western hemisphere’s most important battle for survival.

Hey everybody, I'm looking for a book title I saw at my comic store on Friday (but can't remember it :().
It was about a new YA series, set in space (so kinda sci-fi) but the blurp also said something about befriending animals, environmental issues being addressed and some 'adult series' set in the same world by the same author. I also remember the front showing a girl with an animal (either a monkey or some kind of cat??) and the author's name was male.
anyone got any clue what book/series that could've been?
(hope this is the correct folder) I was just wondering if the group would have double BOM folders- with & without spoilers- Doesn't matter for me but maybe for others. Thanx-
I was wondering if we have a place in this group to ask for recommendations? I don't want to make a post in the wrong area. Cause I'd love to ask you guys some opinions on certain books...
