Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon...
Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
This is the first book of a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE - something rarely attempted. The transition from magic to science will be bit by bit, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
Soarame has a pair of special eyes. He can see magic elements in this world, which are supposed to be invisible. This enviable gift of his could reveal the truth of the world, but it also puts him in danger.
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they are called “magimals” - dragons as examples. Soarame fortunately got a baby magimal as his best friend, but they got into troubles together - troubles that were a lot bigger than dragons.
Could they survive?

Vietnam was Hell, and this story brings readers into the heart of the jungle to experience what our brave men in uniform endured during that horrific eight - year - old conflict.
Martin E. Silenus shares his humorous essays about what the way life should be for a hard working male. Not too long, not too short, and definitely entertaining. Reading this is like having a beer and venting with your buddies. Ah, good times!
This sounds like the kind of story that belongs on the big screen because upheavals like these are visually amazing. That's why I want to read it. I want to see if it's a brain workout for the imagination to add those visuals.
This series looks so cool! It may be the next series I didn't realize I needed in my life. Looking forward to checking it out.
I love the cover and title. Cool.

Return to Lemuria
Return to Lemuria Richard Gradner
Billy Bayer is taken prisoner by the descendants of the Lemurian civilisation after conspiring against his mob-boss. He is taught how to tap into his extra-sensory powers and his life changes forever. This newfound power gives Billy the courage to confront his captors and challenge their age-old ideals.
Together with his crew of loyal companions, he devises a plan to thwart the organisation’s very existence. But how can one man stand up to a 12,000-year old prophecy that predicts adversity for all mankind?
The answer is hidden deep in the Brazilian Amazonia with anthropologist Dr David Steel, who, together with the FUNAI Foundation, is on a mission to save the endangered tribes from persecution. It’s his research that appears to contain the key to the survival of the human race.

Interesting concept, like the sound of this one.
This sounds hilarious. I can't wait to read it.
This cover and summary are really engaging! I'm definitely going to check this out.
There’s always someone out there who likes what another does but finding them is indeed a stretch. Truth be told, they actually find you.
Sounds like a very interesting story. I love superheroes so this sounds like it would be right up my alley! Caught in the middle of what is right/wrong and what needs to be done. I got goosebumps!
The Quest For Freedom
The Quest For Freedom Matt Devitt
Affer was once a peaceful planet, until a war broke out between its six inhabiting species. The humans, who were once the mightiest force on Affer, were massacred in droves, and the ones who survived the onslaught were reduced to mere slaves. The five other species divided the humans amongst themselves and returned to their respective kingdoms.
The years passed, turning into decades and centuries, without any change. Eventually, the humans had accepted their fate as slaves. All except one. Four hundred and seventy-three years later, Fletcher Rush starts his journey to free his kind...and conquer the planet.

Promise of a Monster Killer
Promise of a Monster Killer David Phifer
Some pasts do more than just haunt you. Some pasts can kill.
Solomon Ivy owns a bloody track record of killing monsters. He’s the most ruthless stone-cold killer you’ll ever meet. With magic in one hand, a gun in the other, there hasn’t been a beast he’s failed to take down.
The only thing better than burying evil is seeing the look in its eyes when you’re shoveling dirt on its face. The one rule that keeps a hunter alive is to keep moving forward and never look back.
But when Ivy's past finally catches up to him, he has unfinished business to take care of. A promise to honor. And a monster to kill.

Sounds great.
I love the voice of the main character, gruff, rough around the edges, and has seen more of life and death than many! I can't wait to read more of his adventure!
Who doesn't like a monster killer with a dodgy past. Intriguing.
I love this monster killer / kindred spirit, indeed. Awesome! 😊
Good premise, Dave. We need more monster killers.

Nothing like a thriller when the plan falls apart and the heroes have to wing it! Makes it all the harder for the reader to guess what is going to happen...
Fast and enjoyable.
beautiful cover :)
I felt like I was on Mars, the real Mars, and felt the desperation that isolated settlers will experience. Great read
Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.
