    — Book Life Review

    Mtumé grows up in a small village in Eastern Senegambia in the early 1800s, learning to become the village shaman from his mother. Those dreams are dashed when Portuguese slavers invade the camp, killing over half of the villagers and securing the rest for the trek through the jungle to a slave ship waiting at Gorée Island. Along the trail, Mtumé uses his ingenuity and knowledge of herbal remedies to keep his fellow-villagers safe and garner privileges from his captors.

    Once the slave ship carrying Mtumé reaches New Orleans, he is sold to the Whitney Plantation, where he teaches his offspring how to use nature's bounty to ward off illnesses. Decades later, his descendant, Chantel, is the Director of the Infectious Disease Center at LSU. When a pandemic strikes, wiping out much of the world's population, Chantel must reach Mtumé's ancient village to find the special herb for the cure to save civilization.

    A killer, targeting war heroes, is on the loose. Detective Felicia Clifton must stop the killer and clear her father of the murders.

    A serial killer, plaguing DC, is targeting war veterans. Detective Third-Grade Felicia Clifton has made it her mission to stop the killer. However, her overzealous behavior has her stuck behind a desk. When her father is implicated in similar killings in North Carolina, she is forced to act. Until she is caught killing an ex-Navy SEAL.

    Now on the run, Felicia must find the killer and stop a new terror, which threatens civilization itself.

    Detective Third-Grade Felicia Clifton is a career law enforcement officer from a family of cops and veterans. After a stint as an Army Ranger, she joins the D.C. police force. Her only goal in life is to rid the world of criminals. However, because of her overzealous behavior, she is placed on desk duty.

    Lately D.C. has been plagued by a serial killer. Not just any serial killer, but a killer of decorated war veterans. Similar killings occurred in Fayetteville, where her father is being held for the crimes. Felicia is determined to track the killer down and prove her father’s innocence.

    When a carjacking happens right in front of her, she comes face-to-face with the killer, but loses it in an alley. Her eagerness to catch the killer lands her in a multi-city operation that defies logic. After nearly cornering the killer a second time, the killer frames Felicia for a killing.

    Now on the run, Felicia must find the killer and stop a new terror, which threatens civilization itself.

    Chaell Shisal, captain of the Euclidian resource extraction ship Andrea, leads his space-going vessel across the Milky Way Galaxy in search of planets to mine. His ship harvests minerals, people, and technology from unsuspecting planets. On occasion, the Euclidian invite advanced civilizations into their alliance of planets. As a result, the Andrea has a diverse crew drawn from across the alliance. Each crewmember shares in the spoils from each mission, although senior officers earn the lion’s share of the bounty. Planet Earth is Shisal’s last mission and the Executive Officer (XO) of the Andrea has plotted a mutiny to replace him and take his share of the loot.

    The battle lines have been drawn and it’s the XO of the alien ship Andrea against its Captain, his loyal crewmembers, and a newly formed alliance with some of the same Earthlings he attacked. In the middle of the fight is a gang of female bikers who don’t like following the rules, and each has her own agenda. The XO risks losing his cargo, his wealth, and his career, while the Captain and his band of followers risk losing their way back home, their lives, and the Earth. A lone teenager, Morgan, holds the balance between the two forces.

    The Euclidian series is a tale of alien invasion from the viewpoint of the aliens. It contains intrigue, romance, epic battles, strong female characters, and a level of diversity to be expected from futuristic novels.

    Adar uncovered that they had been stowed away aboard the Earth-bound Andrea and tracked them all the way to Chicago before the trail goes cold. While waiting for them to turn up, Adar fed his thirst for blood by taking on Chicago's most notorious mob family. Throughout his journey, Adar learned how Earthlings live and love and discovered his own need for love.

    Review: The Euclidian: Alien Hitman ~ readper.com

    This is a prequel to a highly rated first contact series by Jay Cannon. It draws you in quick with interstellar action, and doesn’t let go until the last page. The book opens on a Euclidian mining ship. Its multi-year mission: to exploit distant planets and return minerals to the home system. The Euclidian typically conquer the inferior races inhabiting these worlds. On occasion, they turn the locals into trading partners, but so far remain the dominant species throughout the galaxy. Next stop: Earth. But first, they pick up a load of prisoners, and here things go off the rails a bit. Some of the detainees escape. An “Ossie” from the Ossurary system, who is particularly skilled in fighting, tracks them to Earth where the action continues. If you enjoy first contact novels, be sure and check this one out, then take a look at the rest of the series!

  • Crazy Rich Aliens

    Jay Cannon

    “Jay Cannon creates an incredibly rich universe (in all senses of those words), delivering us a highly engaging story of twins Penda and Paul and how they navigate their cultural social norms, their dreams, their desires, and the wealthy galaxy unfolding before them.”

    —Ran Walker, 2019 National Indie Author of the Year

    Penda is heiress to one of the richest families in southeast Asia. Her dream is to create a startup that will commercialize space travel to Mars. To go her own way will ruin her relationship with her family, which is already strained from her being openly gay. Paul, her twin brother, wants to maintain family traditions and is angry with Penda for turning her back on them. Worse, Penda’s business partner is Paul’s ex-fiancée.

    At an elaborate costume ball, Penda and Paul meet Luke, a gorgeous stranger wearing an alien “costume.” They join him on an exotic yacht and after a night of partying, wake up on Tauran, a planet of gender-neutral beings. After their initial shock, Paul comes to view the trip as a business opportunity, while Penda prefers to learn about Tauran culture.

    Penda soon falls for the amiable Timbor (Luke), heir to the richest fortune in the galaxy. Then the warm welcome to Tauran evaporates. Terrorists abduct Penda. She escapes but is relentlessly hunted. She must now evade government agents, xenophobes, and Timbor’s jealous suitor on a strange planet, while foiling a plot to invade Earth, and defending her new friend, an alien.
