Science Fiction & Fantasy eBook Reviews

So I've been thinking it's about time to post some reviews on ye 'ol blog.  There's a ton of great science fiction and fantasy indy eBooks out there, of course, and more arriving every day.  I've somehow found some time to do a bit of reading (note: also need an upcoming post about time management and workflow,) so I'll review some eBooks that I've found lately that I really like.  I think my philosophy toward reviews will be this:

  1. Only review books I like.  That's not to say I won't try to be as objective as possible, but the whole point of this will be to put the spotlight on work I think deserves attention.  Hmm, not that the 'ol Mythik blog will generate much attention right now, but maybe someday it will ;) Otherwise, as they say, if you don't have something good to say, don't say anything at all.
  2. Well, there's no #2, so I guess that's it.
So, stay on the edge of your seat, and stay tuned!

    Jon, if you like pulp fantasy you might enjoy the novelette 'The Master of Dimensional Intrigue.' http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/65546

    Hi! I have a science fiction thriller that I think you might like, maybe. It's about a project called The Dream Metropolis, where people's dreams and imaginations are culled in an attempt to create an entire new reality different from our own.

    The suspense comes from the fact that not everyone wants to live in their dreams.

    Thanks!

    I'm a published print author, but 'The Ancients' is my first e-book. It's a fantasy novel set after a terrible civil war, and it's cheaper than a coffee at Starbucks! (Well, some coffees, anyway. Definitely those frozen ones with raspberry sauce on)

    Erm...anyway, feel free to have apeek and read the first chapter, see what you think!

    Hey Jon, Derek here: 17-year-old author of "The Seven," a contemporary fantasy geared toward an audience that is 16+. You can catch me at derekedgingtonproductions@gmail.com for a DRM free mobi or pdf. Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Synopsis:
    Caleb Holden is a facetious, caustic seventeen-year-old boy who doesn’t have enough sense to stay down for the count. His story is not of a poster boy for success, but rather of a troubled teen who was forced to grow up fast, less he fall into oblivion and obscurity. When the amulet he wears around his neck begins to talk, as well as give him lip, his life is thrown for a loop. This sets in motion a series of events that will eventually lead him to his destiny, or a gruesome death. Given the power to alter the darkness that plagues the world, he jumps at the opportunity with little hesitation. As with all his pursuits, Caleb doesn’t give up or in until he sees a challenge through to its conclusion.
