One Naughty Girl (A Landry James Short)

One Naughty Girl
by Alexx Andria
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It is short.

Good plot to go with all the sex. I would like to read more of these but I see the second one is $2.99 and is a short one also.

$2.99 for nineteen pages? That's a little steep, I think.

Maybe $0.99... maybe.

FYI, this short story has DRM.

The Admiral’s Cage: A Darkspace Saga Story

The Admiral’s Cage: A Darkspace Saga Story
by B.C. Kellogg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The concept here doesn't seem to be unique. The implementation is different, therefore making an original story that is different than any of the other, similar, stories I've read.

Although, I will admit, I'm not absolutely sure just what the concept is yet. I have an idea, but I could be wrong (I know, I know, but it could happen you know). I'm sure all will be revealed in time (If I'm wrong on this then blame it on the author).

This is a good space opera type of story with a twist.

I think you will enjoy it.

And it is free of DRM.

Read Lords of the Dark before this one. It makes more sense that way than the way I did it.

Enjoyable

Interesting. The Lords of the Dark is different than most space opera types of books. I will not say how because I believe​ it would have to include spoilers. I enjoyed it very much.

No DRM with this book.

Ruins of Empire: Blood on the Stars III

Ruins of Empire:Blood on the Stars III 
by Jay Allan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Captain Tyler Barron and crew are sent for a refit to a facility at the edge of the Quarantined Zone (unofficially known as the Badlands). Knowing he will take a request from two very highly placed men as an order, they ask Captain Barron to volunteer to take the Dauntless into the Badlands to check on an ancient artifact that may be a huge weapon of the pre-Cataclysm civilization. Their mission is to see if the artifact does exist and, if so, to prevent the Union from aquiring it while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

They will have to fight against impossible odds, but this time it's for the very freedom of the human race. If the Union gets the ancient technology they will be able to subdue and enslave all nations.

And, again, the battleship CFS Dauntless is barely operational.

I give this one 5 stars. It has some of the same kind of errors as the first two, but there is a lot less of them. The errors are minor.

This book is DRM-free.

by Jay Allan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The famous Captain Tyler Barron and crew must once again cut short their refit to travel back to the far side of the Confederation because the Union has finally invaded. Again, the battleship CFS Dauntless is barely operational.

So back into battles they go. But this time they are not alone. They partner up with another Confederation battleship this time. With the unconventional, rule-breaking methods of Barron they fight against impossible odds

I give this one 5 stars. It has some of the same kind of errors as the first one, but the chapters all start with the correct information. So the errors are minor. 

No DRM here.

Duel in the Dark: Blood on the Stars I

Duel in the Dark: Blood on the Stars I 
by Jay Allan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

300 years after the final collapse of the Human civilization, known as the Cataclysm, the Confederation is facing their fourth war with the Union.

Captain Tyler Barron is the grandson of the great war hero of the second war, Admiral Barron. He doesn't expect to be a great hero but he does intend to fight in the looming war with the Union and maintain the honor of the Barron name.

After ten months patrolling the border between the Confederation and the Union the Confederation Ship Dauntless is sent, closer repair facilities being overloaded, to the far side of Confederation for a long overdue refit. This is a chance for the exhausted crew to get some badly needed rest and recreation.

CFS Dauntless is the only warship near the Rim, so they must cut short their refit and R & R to answer a distress call from a small but strategic base located in a system on the Rim.

With major repairs less than half completed, the facility and Dauntless engineers quickly patch up and reassemble equipment so the ship can get underway in two weeks instead of several months.

Expecting to deal with smugglers or pirates, Captain Barron and the crew of the battleship find themselves in a fight for their lives against a larger, brand new battleship.

Can they prevail? Can Tyler show that he is a Barron in more than just name? Or will they go down in defeat and death, leaving the Confederation in two front war with two enemies instead of one?

The is a tense, action-packed, space opera type of story.

I loved it. The writing is excellent. The people are real. The action is great.

Five star writing. I had to bump it down to four stars because starting with chapter 32 the start of every chapter had the ship listed as CFS Dauntless, even when all other info showed it was really AS Invictus. This threw me off at the start of chapter 32 because I didn't pay attention to the other info, just the ship name, so when I started reading my mind was on the wrong ship. There were also a few instances of wrong pronoun use, he when it should have been she and vice versa. Also some character names were wrong. All these are minor mistakes but when added together they cost a star on the rating. 

I changed it back to five stars because it is DRM-free.

Latest News From The Trump Universe

Early tomorrow morning Swedish authorities arrested the Illegal Alien that was responsible for the Bowling Green Massacre That Never Happened. After holding him for twenty four hours the fake news media of the State of Meridian put it up to a vote of what to do with this Criminal Illegal Alien.

Two days from now the people of the Pacific Island Republic of Surfnow voted to extradite him to the United States of not great again yet America to be tried by a kangaroo court, found guilty on a whim, then executed by an official lynch mob of Trump worshippers.

Next week he was transported to the United States (still not great again yet), where he has already been declared guilty by Executive Order, which is the Law because it was signed by the Dictator, King Trump.

That same evening, at sunset, this Criminal Illegal Alien that masterminded the Bowling Green Massacre That Never Happened was hung by the ankles from a tall mesquite tree by the official lynch mob that was ordained by the demigod Donald on the front lawn of the Whitehouse.

After being forcefully questioned using extremely painful techniques by the FBI, investigated with the aid of hobnailed boots and other physically damaging methods by the CIA, tickled unmercifully by the SMV, mind-probed by the UOFC Society and forced to listen to six hours of Trump excuses as stated by KaC this Criminal Mastermind Illegal Alien finally confessed his crime and the method used to cause the Bowling Green Massacre That Never Happened.

The Criminally Insane Mastermind Illegal Alien caused the Bowling Green Massacre That Never Happened using mind control techniques he was taught in elementary school at the tender young age of one hundred thirty three years. This happened nine years from today.

There is Massive Evidence that these alternative facts are the absolute, undeniable truth.

Trump Quotes and My Opinions of Them

Quote: “completely eradicate Islamic terrorism”

Comment: Really? Yes, I do think it is possible. Do I have a plan? No, but I don't think Trump can come up with a viable plan to make it happen, either. A viable plan would entail convincing many other countries to commit, and actually supply, a lot of money and resources, as well as soldiers. Can Trump do that? Highly doubtful. My opinion? I don't think he will even be able to convince the U.S. Congress to commit the money, soldiers and other resources required, much less other countries.

I also question why he singled out Islamic terrorism instead of all terrorism.

Quote: “When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.”

Comment: No room for prejudice? This from the man that promises to eradicate Islamic terrorism with the implication that he will not bother with other terrorism? And what about all those Mexican rapists? And I don't even remember all the things he said about women! Contradicting himself? Yes.

Quote: “The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed all across the world.”

Comment: If this were true there wouldn't be so many people in third world countries that are starving and don't even have clean water. How much of that wealth would they say they have received?

The wealth of the middle class? The middle class have never been wealthy, that's why they are middle class, they are between the wealthy and the poor – in the middle. Something our current President doesn't seem to understand. Maybe because he's always been wealthy, even though he has filed bankruptcy at least three times and is in debt to the tune of billions (fifteen billion, I think).

So where has the middle class's money gone? To the rich! Making them richer and us poorer. High prices, low pay, high taxes, while the rich individuals and corporations get their taxes lowered and have all those loopholes to use to evade taxes, sometimes eliminate them. Let's not forget the exorbitant pay and bonuses of a lot of high level executives.

Quote: “build new roads, bridges and airports.”

Comment: A lofty promise. A good thing, if he can make it happen. But what about the current infrastructure? Is he going to fix the roads, bridges and airports that need it? Is he going to come up with an affordable maintenance plan to prevent future damage?
