My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2747956001">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
A hard-driving strong female protagonist is always a joy to discover, whether the genre in question is fantasy, science fiction, mystery, or any other. Such a heroine who has been honed in the crucible of affliction and fine-tuned by betrayal is even more admirable. Meet Carmen, the young woman who befriended and trained a dragon, faced down death, destruction, and betrayal, and now must stand on her own against all odds.<br /><br />DRAGON ASSASSIN 3: DARK WINGS is the third in author Arthur Slade's new YA fantasy series.

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2747942451">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
For a science fiction novel, MARTIAN INSURRECTION is actually a non-stop SciFi thriller. A plethora of conspiracy, corruption in high places, abuse of power__and the determined hero who refuses to be killed or dissauded. All this on (in, under) Mars! A reader's hook that practically explodes out of the starting gate, and the tension and adventure never stop. MARTIAN INSURRECTION is the third entry in Brandon Ellis' new Martian series.<br />

Review_THE WIDENING GYRE by Michael R. Johnston

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2665871772">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
THE WIDENING GYRE is exciting "hard" science fiction, meaning it's strong on technology, science, and space travel. In a future when the Zhen Empire rules the universe and humans are rated lower than an unwanted stepchild, former hero Tajen Hunt and his crew embark on a quest to locate Earth, humanity's original home planet, which after so many centuries has become a legend rather than an actual location. <br /><br />Smooth writing, empathetic characters, and great world-building combine to make THE WIDENING GYRE a compelling science fiction read.
