Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated War Stories: New Military Science Fiction in Books

Jan 12, 2018

As a military fiction fan and a sci fi fan this was the best of both worlds in one. I loved how most of the stories were from either a LBGT perspective or a female one. Also the various views of war from authors(and in a lot of cases) soldiers from not only different branches but different countries. There were one or two stories that were very difficult to read because their wordiness caused them to be pretentious and drag on(one in particular). Over all though I would recommend this book and would like to see some authors turn the short stories into full length books.

Call me, Master Chief!

This is where the cadets must lay down all issues with eachother and work together if their going to survive the night.

This movie by Microsoft studios & 343 industries is definitive proof that a multi billion dollar production isn't what make a great sci fi, action movie.

Hi there everyone! I'm completely new here, so I'm still learning what to do and how to do it! I'm a writer of romance, I write both mainstream romance as well as lesbian romance. My books are published and can be found at Amazon.com under my name. I have three series out currently. My brand of romance is somewhat different from the classic romances, first of all there's action, I write mostly law enforcement, military or music industry related fiction. My characters deal with things like PTSD, mental health and violence against women. My female characters are ALWAYS strong women, I write them the way I want women to be perceived.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2506 KP) rated Tilt-a-Whirl (John Ceepak Mystery, #1) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Danny, a seasonal cop in a Jersey shore town, has been partnered with Ceepak, ex-military and very by the book. The two take the call of a murder on the boardwalk's tilt-a-whirl. A billionaire was shot while his daughter was on the ride next to him. Who could have done it? Definitely darker and more graphic than I normally read, the twists and very real characters kept me turning pages. I love this series still, and it's wonderful to see how the characters grow as the series progresses.

A very good bleak look at the future. A well made film, with a good cast. I found it a little slow to get going, but the modern look of London was interesting and technology. The best scene was a battle scene in a run down part of town as the activists clashed with the military. All the while Clive Owen is dodging bullets and trying to protect the only child on earth. It really draws you into the thick of a battle, caught in the middle trying to stay alive. After all the build up I felt the film finished a bit short, not the conclusion I was hoping for.
