Book promo…

First up, Alma Boykin with the fifth book in her Empire series, Miners and Empire.

As always, click on the cover to get it

The blurb-

Aedelbert Starken shapes stone, not magic. Or so he thinks.

The town of Garmouth depends on the mines for life. Aedelbert comes to the city with his partner Caedda Quaedel in order to build three new smelters for the ore. Aedelbert and Caedda, master stone-cutters, just want to work, collect their wages, and move to the next job. Nothing more or less.

To their chagrin, building smelters and training an apprentice pose the least of their problems. A noble with a grudge threatens the mines and the city, leading to a race between the men of Garmouth and the mines, the noble, and the forces of ice and water. 

Aedelbert wants nothing to do with any of it. The Scavenger, however, has other ideas. And what He gives, He can also reclaim…

67,000 words.

I was a beta reader, and it’s GOOD! You won’t go wrong with this one.

Next up, Chris Kennedy, Rob Hampson, and Sandra Medlock’s Do No Harm. It’s the 9th book in the Omega War series.

The blurb-

When Todd’s critically damaged ship dropped out of hyperspace near the Human colony world of Azure, he had no memory of his past. He didn’t know who he was, or even what he was, and the Humans didn’t either. That didn’t stop the colonists of Azure—they took him in, anyway…even though they didn’t understand how he could do some of the things he could do.

Todd and his descendants consider themselves Human—eight armed and water-breathing—but Human, nonetheless. After seventy years living among Humans, Todd’s descendants are going back out into the Union to make their mark—from fifteen-year-old Verne, who’s a little short to be a mercenary, to Harryhausen, who wants to be the most famous PI in the galaxy. Eventually they learn that the rest of the Galactic Union knows them as Wrogul, intelligent octopus-like beings known for science and the ability to perform surgery like no other race can. 

These Wrogul do more than just practice medicine, but they still intend to do no harm. Unfortunately, the Humans, whether they have two arms or eight, have powerful enemies… and the Wrogul may have no choice.

This one should be interesting, and I mean that in a good way! 🙂

  1. Alma delivered a very good book. I have to try reading it slow, so I don’t miss the character interplay. Lots of things are happening.

    As for Chris Kennedy … book is off to a good start thanks to an oddly off-balance first contact with the amnesiac Wrogul. The blurb had me laughing – cephalopods named Verne, Harryhausen, and Anson? Where’s Clarke, or haven’t I met that one yet? This promises to be interesting, all right.

  2. Many thanks for the signal boost!

    And I agree on the latest Chris Kennedy. Those names… You can’t say you weren’t warned. 🙂

  3. PK- Alma will also send you down more than one wiki research rathole too…LOL

    TXRed- No problem! And yes, you ARE warned… 🙂

  4. Bought and read these. Where’s the next new book? IOW, what have you done for me lately?

  5. OldNFO, I’ve gone down some of those ratholes as well. The shiny things caught my eye, and there went another half hour. Grumble, sorta, but some of those are interesting and her writing is good. Naughty kitty, here’s another treat.

    I haven’t encountered the one Azure I don’t want to find, the one named Marvin. “Where was the kaboom?”

  6. I do not even understand how I stopped up right here,
    but I thought this publish was good. I do not understand
    who you might be but definitely you are going to a well-known blogger in the event you are not already.
    Cheers!
