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!

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.

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.

A fun story!

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.

ReviewDelightful little novella. He introduces a vivid character, former Space Academy graduate and space scout, Javier Aritza, who raises chickens, fruits and vegetables while exploring the universe.

Too bad he runs into pirates. But with some aggressive negotiation skills, he agrees to join them as their science officer. Their air is barely breathable and their water barely drinkable but he fixes that.

For such a short read, Blaze Ward packed in a lot of character development and adventure.

Recommended!

it was amazing

OK this was funny, I actually started with volume 2 in this series (My undead mother in law) and all the things that I was missing in the story in the one I started are explained here, its brilliant and very funny XD, one thing that I love about this series, the people reading the book (there’s more than one ^__^) they actually sound like they’re having fun, and that’s twice the fun for us that are listening to the audiobook.

If you want a series that makes you laugh, with lots of gore and at the same time, even normal life, yeah people get to know each other and they even marry, yeah I guess you could say this is for all ages hahah

I got a free ARC from StoryOrigin and this is my honest opinion

ReviewOkay, Blaze Ward’s first book was good and his second was better.

The story begins with the pirate crew going to a haunted system. Ships that go there, never come back. And that almost happens to them, but thanks to the quick thinking of Javier, their Science Officer, they escape.

Does the stalwart, former military pirate captain use the opportunity to escape? Nope. They get into problems they never expected.

I won’t give away any spoilers.

Read and enjoy. (less)

it was amazing

One of the most funny books about zombies, where the zombies are not the monster or the bad guy, actually being zombified, cures all sorts of health problems, from being overweight to the death doors, and you feel much more energetic and strong.

What can I say that wont give spoilers, but it will explain in details what I did enjoy about this audiobook, both voice actors, you had a male and a female, they seemed to enjoy themselves while they were reading it, so it was so much more fun, it was also very nice the way they interact with the other, great fun, the story was also fun, and with lots of action and violence, but in a way that you will find yourself laughing out loud while listening to the violence, yeah the first dinner in the parents-in-law in the first few minutes of the book set what I was sure I would find during the book and it didn’t disappoint.

Just try it out, keep in mind that this it’s not your usual zombie story 😉 it was really a good fun, and I highly recommend, I started by this volume, I understand this is the second in the series, but unlike many other stories I didn’t find myself lost or in need to go back and read or listen the first book in the series, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to go back (sure I want) but if like me you start by this one, I don’t think you’ll find yourself lost in anyway.

Thank you StoryOrigin by the free Audible and I am leaving this review voluntarily. (less)
