Boys Books – the New Frontier with SciFi and Fantasy – Come along with me as I go through books for boys–and girls ins SciFi and Fantasy.

I say boys and girls because girls can enjoy books written for boys and vice versa. I know I enjoyed a girl teen romance when I read it in middle school.

Secret Supers and Villain’s Vacation are my contributions to this promotion, but you’ll find 14 other great books here too.

This book is a breath of fresh air. It’s a light, quick fun read about–you guessed it–zombie turkeys! It’s the first in a four book series. Small-town newspaper reporter and serial underachiever Sam Melvin has the scoop of his career when local turkeys become undead killing machines. This is a great book if you want a fun, easy read that will make you smile. (Especially good to read at Thanksgiving!) (less)

A Fantasy Review of Mine

Boys Books
Cover
LG Estrella shows us she can write short stories as well as novels. This book is full of bite-sized morsels of humorous fantasy goodness. You don’t have to read any of her novels to enjoy these, but if you’re already familiar with the characters, you’ll enjoy them much more.

The title story, ‘The Hungry Dragon Cookie Company’ is told from the point of view of a very young dragon, Spot. He loves cookies and he discovers a baker who is great at baking them. The story proceeds from there.

Don’t miss out on munching out on the rest of these stories.

Zombie corgi in Scotland from ‘My Undead Mother-in-law’

5.0 out of 5 stars 

An action packed adventure!

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2022

This series is the first I have read of Andy Zach’s and I am not disappointed! This story has tons of action, well written characters, and the zombies are not mindless slow shells. A refreshing take on zombies as a whole. The plot moves at a good pace and the story arc continues to work well over the series. I look forward to book 3! Audio Version: Phil Blechman and Raven Perez do a great job with their respective characters and the overall narration.

ReviewL.G. Estrella continues her winning series about unlikely heroes. After assembling two necromancers, (Timmy and his apprentice Katie), a timid bureaucrat who can magically store an unlimited number of items, and a murderous elven flame mage, she has them fight an army of nearly invincible golems, and a powerful demon.

Stupendous action scenes balance her humorous lines. Lovers of sword and sorcery fantasy and humorous fantasy will be delighted.

What’s New in June? Science SciFi Fantasy

What’s New in June? Science, SciFi, Fantasy – Just for you I’ve got the best science stories, and the best science fiction and fantasy reviews. Plus, pay attention to this post–I’ll give you free books as you read it.

Science SciFi Fantasy – Which one is this one?

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ is a hot new movie. It’s science fiction–right?

Um, not exactly. The USAF is rumored to have a new jet that looks suspiciously like the one in the movie. They actually designed an SR-72 which was rendered like this:

“But Andy – that’s only a designer’s dream. That isn’t science”

But try to search on ‘Aurora’, a rumored plane SR-92. Here’s one video on it:

This is surely science fiction: a rover on Mars, traveling so far that it picks up a rock in its wheels. Don’t you hate that in your car?

But wait–it’s a real rover that is really on Mars. Here’s the video proof.

ReviewThis was my first exposure to L.G. Estrella and I definitely want more! The author creates humorous and ironic juxtapositions of characters and roles: Timmy, the dread, dark necromancer, who’s reluctant to kill. Katie, the whiz-bang apprentice who’s 10 and cute as a button and hates being called a kid, and is protected by invisible ninja rats.

Then we meet the bureaucrat who’s 6′ 6″ (two meters) skinny, and loves paperwork. But he can magically retrieve any paperwork at any time. As well as other things.

Finally, there’s the woodland elf who’s a pyromaniac because her magical power is creating fire.

I assure you, you will enjoy this romp.
But wait! There’s more!

Enjoy This Fantasy Book Too!

ReviewThis book was my introduction to author Jeffery Russell and I assure you I will be reviewing more of his books.

His main character is a sheep gate guard–Durham. He’s unassuming and unambitious but over-talented for the little the job requires of him. He gets an order to join up with a party of dwarves off to retrieve the mace of an undead lich.

Things go humorously downhill from there. We’re introduced to the colorful crew of the Dungeoneers, who specialize in retrieving artifacts from dungeons.

There is more than meets the eye as they probe the ever more complex labyrinth under the necropolis. Then the animated skeletons appear and attack.
Do you want a science fiction book? Keep on reading!

Finally! A Science Fiction Book for you!

ReviewMuch to my delight, Blaze Ward continues his high-quality writing in the third installment of his military scifi series, The Science officer.

Javier was captured by space pirates, who destroyed his scout ship and upset his life. He negotiates his way out of slavery and into a valuable officer on their ship, where he can pay off his slave debt.

But things change. The imperturbable captain Zolokov keeps generating new challenges for Javier. Once again, Javier must risk his life to save a crew member or three. One of them hate his guts. They’re in a den of pirates. Oh my.

Oddly, Javier had been there before.

Read and find out what happens.
Read to the end for a final bonus!

A fun story!

May 16, 2022

Format : Paperback

Jeremy has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair to get around. He is in a special education class with Dan, who is blind, Kayla, who was mute and used a walker, and Audrey, who lost her legs and uses crutches.

One afternoon, when conducting experiments in his laboratory, Jeremy accidentally gives himself superpowers. Specifically, he gains the ability of telekinesis, which he can use to help himself walk, cause his wheelchair to travel at much higher speeds, and even fly. Not wanting to keep this discovery to himself, Jeremy tells his 3 friends about it and gives each of them superpowers as well. But now that they have superpowers, what should they do?

Following the words of Uncle Ben of Spiderman, they decide they must use their powers for good, beginning by trying to solve a case of a stolen car, and keep their identities a secret, modeling their costumes on the Incredibles.
