Review Roundup for May 2009, Part 3
Wind Follower by Carole McDonnell - a solemn, mystical adventure, displaying the hero's journey to his own heart, and the heroine's discovery of her beloved's faith in the midst of impossible circumstances.
Beyond Corista by Robert Elmer - I recommend this series for anyone wanting sci-fi with distinct inspirational tones, and anyone looking for an epic space journey. Here you'll find danger, adventure and the saving of an entire society.
The Didymus Contingency by Jeremy Robinson - The time-travel action barely ever stops, and - if you'll believe me - I felt as if I knew Jesus better afterwards.
Raising the Past by Jeremy Robinson - What if the idea of angels and demons really did come from opposing alien factions, warring for control of the Earth - one race said to be evil and another claiming to be good?
The Restorer by Sharon Hinck - a rich feast for the senses, earthy and inspiring. It left me with lots of questions, but of the kind that open a horizon of hope.
Light at the Edge of Darkness by Various Authors, edited by Cynthia MacKinnon - laughter and tears and unexpected twists, beauty and hardship, farce and danger, evil and bravery, trials, faith, and the ultimate supremacy of God. Includes work by Frank Creed, Steve Rice, A.P. Fuchs, Adam & Andrea Graham, and many more.
Axiom-Man by A.P. Fuchs - Axiom-man is a delightfully human superhero with true depth and spirituality.
Angel With A Ray Gun by Deborah Kinnard - A sci-fi writer...happens to be the pastor of a church. A church that doesn't know he writes bestsellers with a pen name.
The Shadow and Night by Chris Walley - This book will make you think. It will shoot you into the far distant future and make it believable. And it will take you all the way back to the roots of evil, and the triumph of good.
Nor Iron Bars A Cage by Caprice Hokstad - richly-woven themes of sacrifice and humility, love and friendship, good versus evil, and the final victory of justice and hope, like a fairytale for grown-ups.
Time Masters - Book One: The Call, by Geralyn Beauchamp - A zany mix of cliches and genres, often hilarious, quite possibly the wildest journey of your life, and certainly anything but predictable.
Star Trek Movie Review - I've felt these new actors slot comfortably into their positions as the legendary spacefaring team, even as their journey to get to that place is now full of new challenges - faced by each person in their own typical manner.
Beyond Corista by Robert Elmer - I recommend this series for anyone wanting sci-fi with distinct inspirational tones, and anyone looking for an epic space journey. Here you'll find danger, adventure and the saving of an entire society.

Review Roundup for May 2009, Part 2
Bone Walk - The Journey of Thomas Shepard, by Kevin Howe - Thomas' simple life of ledgers and grain counts is shattered when mysterious objects of great beauty start appearing in his small nearly forgotten medieval village of Eden.
The Light of Eidon - Legends of the Guardian-King, Book 1, by Karen Hancock - the high powers have other plans for young Abramm before he can take his vows in the holy order of the Mataio. He’s kidnaped and sold into slavery by his own brother, not to mention the duplicity of the very high priests of Abramm’s order. Accompanied into slavery with the captain of the king’s guard, Abramm survives his captivity under the banner of the Black Moon.
Rise of the Dibor - The White Lion Chronicles, Book One, by Christopher Hopper - “What if Adam and Eve had never sinned? What if mankind knew no wrong? Would we still have an enemy?” Hopper answers that question with an emphatic yes!
Mason’s Link, by Bill Andrews - what if we discovered a way in which to converse daily with a departed loved one who is in Heaven, and to talk with that person about whatever in Heaven we wanted to know?
Hierath, by Joanne Hall - the type of book that grabs you and won’t let you put it down until you’re done, even if it means burning some midnight oil.
Mars Threat Assessment by James Armentrout - a fast paced, race against time, thriller, set on the far away Red Planet some 50 plus years into the future.
The Star Phoenix, by David L. Brown - SF not only gives its readers glimpses of futures that are fascinating, but also provides warnings of futures we need to avoid. This is one of the "warning" novels, the "if this goes on" story being interspersed with historical notes from our near-future showing likely outcomes of global warming and other trends we ignore now at our peril.
Tau 4, by V. J. Waks - The perfect killing machine. That’s what the Homeworld Alliance wants in their war against the Outworlds. But the perfect killing machine in this case is made of flesh and blood.
Child of Light, by Diane Bentley Barker - an entertaining story of a young woman’s passion for color, particularly her obsession for the secrets of the color purple. Poma’s search for the color purple entwines her in the lives and times of those with whom she travels.
The Elf King by Jude Hatcher Bangs - The Elf King is a story about a boy named Kai who happens to be heir to the Elven throne, although he doesn’t know it at the time.
The Light of Eidon - Legends of the Guardian-King, Book 1, by Karen Hancock - the high powers have other plans for young Abramm before he can take his vows in the holy order of the Mataio.

Review Roundup for May 2009, Part 1
Today we're linking you up with new reviews from sites that focus on the Lost Genre! Look out for more in the days to come.
Crush Depth by Joe Buff - The future: Another war... another frightening aspect of man's desire to dominate other men. A coordinated coup in South Africa and Germany catches America off guard and redefines a new Axis movement.
Of Staves and Sigmas - Souls of Ergos Book One, by Geoffrey Verdegast - Split personality disorder. Perhaps this is the best way James Wagner can describe his life. Is he really James Wagner going mad or is he really Voknor of Ergos? The unexpected shifting of worlds and personalities plunges the reader into a world of terror where our hero, James Wagner, must face blood thirsty foes in his quest for sanity.
Star Stepping by Various Authors - Avid readers of Fantasy and Sci-Fi will be hard pressed to find a more thoroughly enjoyable collection...Its varied selections cover the spectrum of the Fantasy and Sci-Fi genres.
Violator - The Langsyne Chronicles Book Three, by Jonathan Christopher - After another near crash landing, Zsi has three members of his crew vanish. Where and how to find them? Zsi has no choice but to go through the travel door-the mysterious time portal-to find them.
Dixie by Stephen Sulkey - It is the year 2001, but it is not the same country most Americans would call the “Good Old USA.” The North lost the Civil War in 1865 and vanished from existence to become the Greater Confederate States of America.
Soulless by Clea Saal - The disturbing mesh of everyday events turns Professor Paul Webster and a college associate into investigators trying to solve a tangled web of paranormal happenings.
Cascade Effect by James Armentrout - An imaginative work of deceit, betrayal, and full blown action across the cold, merciless surface of the moon.
One for Sorrow, Two for Joy by Clive Woodall - Slyekin, leader of the magpies, is bent on dominating all of Birddom.
The Mushroom Circle: A Fairy Tale for Giants by Clare C. Newbury - a fairy tale that any adult would find fascinating and down right humorous.
Shepherd's Quest - The Broken Key #1, by Brian S. Pratt - an adventure story about young lads looking for riches, fame and adventure.
Quest’s End - The Broken Key #3, by Brian S. Pratt - Finding the last segment of the Key to the King’s Horde has become an obsession with Riyan and his friends.
Bryre's Jewels - Book I Of Forgotten Ages, by Joan How - It is really hard to believe that Joan How wrote Bryre's Jewels: Book 1 of Forgotten Ages while still in high school.
The Circle of the Swan - Book One of the DragonFire Series, by Jana G. Oliver - an intriguing tale of siblings whose drab medieval world is suddenly turned upside down.
The Summoning Stone - Book Two of the Dragonfire Series, by Jana G. Oliver - a well crafted story whose characters feelings and expressions move beyond the page to capture the reader’s heart and soul.
