Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A fast actioned novel bringing the "War story" into the modern ages. Not only do the operatives in this novel implement the gadgets of the modern spy (drones, smartphone-like devices, etc) but S.L. Jones finally brings the modern fight to the brand new, realistic battlefield of the modern day - the cyber domain. For the first time (that I have seen) a novel is written about where the battles of the future are going to be fought.

This excellent story keeps you on the edge of your seat and is an excellent read.

Own The Night is such an exciting and enjoyable read that once started cannot be set aside for later. Throughout the entire book the Author gives the story, related history, characters, action, and place settings such a genuine feel that becoming totally immersed into the chapters is unavoidable. Paul Evancoe's descriptions of military equipment, language, and world political geography do an exceedingly impressive job of further authenticating the unpredictable plot. The story is filled with action and feels very, very real. It surprises as much as it excites and left me wanting more!

Thank you Stephen Mitchell for another great book!

Aelena Hall and Carlin Pheney are the main characters in this thrilling, fast paced futuristic novel, "2076, A Revolutionary Tale."

You're lead through the struggles that these characters face after the world is almost completely destroyed by humanities inability to care for our planet.  The food supply has almost completely been destroyed and chemicals are being used to alter what food supply is left.  America is now being destroyed by natural and unnatural occurrences from coast to coast. Many of the worlds countries have ceased to exist.  China has become the leader of the free world. In what is left of America, the powerful Walled-Ins have turned the SERFS into servants.  To be used, unseen, and dismissed like trash.

Aelena (a SERF)and Carlin (a Walled-In) are in a battle to start their lives together along with some of the surviving SERFS.  They are trying desperately to colonize a new America, while facing the threat of  Carlin's own father, the General and CEO of Kiliburton (arms maker and military supplier to the world) leader of the Walled-Ins.  Carlin has given up his life of power and leisure as a Walled-In to pursue his love interest, Aelena, and to aide the outnumbered, outsourced, out armed SERFS.

This is a well written, scary novel about what our world could potentially look like in the future if we continue to abuse our planet.

I really enjoyed reading this book.  The story is very exciting.  There are dimensions about the villains that I would have liked to dive into more, and so I took one star away from my rating.  Read this book if you're interests include bleeding edge technology, action, conspiracy, science, and elite special forces of the military.

Interesting story with the future of modern technology leading to tragedy. Lots of action. Military mixing with technology tells a story that could very well happen. We see our government's decisions contribute to the fall of the USA.

This is the first book that I have read by the amazing author -Michael G. Thomas, and I am 100% certain I will be reading more by him! Lord of Wars is so well written, with one heart stopping moment to the next. I won't give too much away as this book is certainly worth your money and you won't be disappointed if you get reading. I personally found it hard to put down as I followed the main character 'Spartan' in this futuristic military sci-fi adventure!

Clio and Cy: The Apocalypse is a post-apocalyptic thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat and turning pages as fast as you can read! From the next stage in Artificial Intelligence to World War III, this book has exciting elements to get you thinking and spark your imagination. When 12 year old Clio teams up with Cy, the super-intelligent robot, the world is in crisis and in desperate need of a savior. Cy has the human emotions of love and compassion, but cannot feel hatred, making him both better and worse than the humans who have gotten the world into the mess it is in. The story of the friendship between Clio and Cy, and the adventure they undertake, will keep you flipping pages and warm your heart at the same time.

The Coming is an amazing combination of historical drama, action and horror with a gripping plot. Exciting and well paced, I enjoyed the characters and their mission to save the world from destruction. The story had me hooked from beginning to end. I really liked the way Sam and his dog, the main characters, were written into the key historical events.  C.J. Daniels was able to take different types of story elements: sci-fi, horror, adventure, history, and create an awesome story. I hope to see a sequel!

Second book in the series did not disappoint! Main character William Grace matured with a new cast along with one familiar friend. The new cast brings distinct personalities and depth as the story seamlessly unfolds. The main conflict continues with the Sa'Ami and we are shown divisions within the UC. The battle action is descriptive and intense. Usually I am more interested in hand to hand combat but in this book I found the ship battles just as exciting. The technology in the story is very imaginative and seems it could realistically be achieved.

One of the best stories I've ever read! The many battle scenes depicted in this book were absolutely awesome and extremely entertaining! A very impressive ending! One minor note: The author should have had someone proof read his brilliant work, as quite a few of the words were missing their last letter. Also on one important occasion: One of the main characters was given the wrong name. It was confusing at first, until I read a few pages more of this exciting adventure.

I am completely impressed with Mr. Smith's latest offering. He is quite a prolific author who has established himself in the sci-fi and dystopian future genre. This is his first venture into a future that I would describe as realistic, in fact, tragically, even possible given the situation around the world. In this book he tackles the subject of the threat of a nuclear attack on the USA in the form of very high altitude nuclear weapon explosions causing an EMP = Electromagnetic Pulse, which will wipe our nations electrical grids and anything that has modern electronic circuitry: cars, all electronics, etc. Yes, it's real.

The North Koreans launch an EMP attack against the USA and we join the characters of this book involved in their various challenging lives and situations and from there they must deal with the "fallout" (OK, I'm sorry, could not help myself).

Mr. Smith writes in an engaging fashion and is extremely good at offering up rich character development with exciting action.

You will really enjoy this book, but you will find it difficult, as I did, to stop reading

Absolutely fantastic read with a realistic view of what life will be like in the 22nd century!

Lots of action, intrigue and excitement.  Ice pirates attacking science bound missions! Alien entities and their contact with humans! How mankind will be changed due to our colonization of the stars. Just when you think, all is lost, you can count on twists and turns to keep you turning the pages.

Looking forward to Peter Darrach's second installment.

"Dark Futures" is an exciting novel with a lot of fast action and an incredibly mean new Terminator from the future.
The story moves really fast, on two different time lines. On both of them, John Connor and his mother Sarah are trying to stop Skynet from destroying humanity, but it is a lot stronger than they are, and maybe smarter. The new Terminator is almost indestructible, and they have to hit it with everything they've got.
As well as all the action, between the lines, the book is looking at interesting stuff like Artificial Intelligence, and whether we can change the future, or whether the future is fixed. You can tell that the author has really thought about how AI and time travel would work.
The characters are good, too. It is interesting to see John Connor grow up in the two time lines. The genetically enhanced people who come back from the new future to help him against Skynet and the new Terminator are especially cool. They are still human, but maybe only just. Jade is really strong, much stronger than any of the men, and very beautiful, but she is also quite a complex character.

I enjoyed the details about the future gadgets. The story was gripping and suspenseful! I couldn't put it down! The characters were interesting with many surprises. Highly recommend it. I immediately got the second book in the series, as soon as I finished this! Can't wait to see where the story goes.
