Fractured Horizon by H. E. Roulo

May 23rd, 2009

fracturedhorizonKatherine Downs sets off to find her mysterious father—and awakens hundreds of years later into a world guided by visionary Royals. But Kay inadvertently blinds their power.

Hunted, she joins the rebel Adams, bio-engineered warriors who rely on banned technology for a precarious foothold on the fading world. Will they destroy Kay for being only human, or will revelations about her own unnatural origins cause Kay to help them in their ongoing war?

Greeted by a high-tech horde, courted by visionary royalty, and always steps away from her goals, Kay must master her own abilities before humanity is destroyed on Earth and the colonies in space.

Envision a world ready to collapse– and then watch it tip over the edge.

TruckerRich Says: I liked the story and the premise. I have to admit that I had a hard time following this story. I’m not sure if it was because I was driving and other wise distracted while I listened. All that said, I do recommend that you listen and post a comment to let other know what you thing.

Jack Wakes Up by Seth Harwood

May 3rd, 2009

jackwakesupWhat does a movie-star one-hit-wonder and ex-drug-addict do when he’s cleaned up, down on his luck, and running out of money?

In the three years since Jack Palms went clean – no drugs, no drinking, no life – he’s added fourteen pounds of muscle, read 83 books, and played it as straight as anyone can ask him. Now, when an old friend from L.A. calls, he signs on to help a set of Eastern Europeans score enough coke to settle down and set up shop. All Jack has to do is keep them entertained and get them through their purchase.

But when the plan runs into a few problems, and Jack starts getting phone calls from an old friend on the police force, he realizes that this business will take a lot more acting than he first assumed.

TruckerRich Says:  Seth has written an action packed, fast pasted novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Jack Wakes Up is a true crime drama that plays out like an action movie. Warning this novel contains adult language and violence, not safe for the mini-van.

She’s on a mission… To kill the man who loves her…

Why?

Because he’s an idiot.

Nina Kimberly The Merciless is the story of a teenage barbarian princess who must rid herself of an obnoxious royal suitor, replace him with a hero, and then grow into her destiny as a…


What are people saying about Nina Kimberly The Merciless?

“This is the Princess Bride… if The Princess Bride had been written by Monty Python’s Flying Circus. It’s madcap fun, with plenty of charm, tenderness, and heart to make this a delightful story and a Podiobook favorite!” — Tee Morris, author of Legacy of Morevi and co-author of Podcasting for Dummies

“A fantasy novel about a teenage barbarian princess who’s not going to let anyone else control her. Look out world she’s got a sword and knows how to use it!” — SFFAudio

“This is one of the most enjoyable and unpredictable books I’ve found on Podiobooks.com. Brave Men Run set the standard for sci-fi. Nina Kimberly does the same for fantasy.” — Jim from LARP Radio

TruckerRich Says: Christiana has written a very imaginative story. There is some minor violence or I would recommend it for young adults. This is a coming of age story in which Nina faces a kind of love triangle between a dashing knight and a dragon. She has to decide who she can trust. Come and listen to this magic journey, as Nina and her friend travel to find a wizard.

Grey by Jon Armstrong

March 21st, 2009

grey_coverHigh fashion, corporate malfeasance, celebrity culture, and an obsessed media collide with exuberant violence and volatile intensity in Grey, the explosive debut novel by Jon Armstrong.

For Michael Rivers, life is perfect. Michael has everything; tall, handsome, and famous, he is worshipped by billions of fans around the globe. He is wealthy beyond measure, the heir apparent to RiverGroup, one of the handful of high-tech corporations that controls the world. He is fashionable, setting trends with his wardrobe of immaculate designer suits, each a unique and celebrated work of art. And Michael is in love, perfect love, sharing a private language based entirely on quotes from the latest fashion magazine advertisements, with Nora, his beautiful, witty, and equally perfect fiance, the only woman with whom he can see surgically-altered monochromatic eye to eye.

When an assassin’s bullets pierce Michael’s body before the unblinking eyes of cameras, reporters, and viewers at a press junket, everything changes, forcing Michael to question everything about his previously perfect world. Illusions shattered and forcibly separated from Nora, Michael seeks to uncover the reasons behind the attempted assassination, embarking on a quest that leads him to question his relationships with his loud, profane, and narcissistically Ultra father; his estranged mother; and the perilous, contaminated, neo-feudalistic world that lies beyond the safe and protected bubble of corporate family life.

Michael must delve deep into his past, finding that all paths he uncovers seem to lead to the now-closed PartyHaus, and to a time when he was the golden boy, dancing furiously to the beat of notorious all-night Rage parties thrown by his father.

TruckerRich Says: Jon Armstrong writes one heck of a Futuristic Psychedelic Fantasy. I might think Mr. Armstrong may have been on acid when writing this tale. His Future world is very detailed and the story was a very believable love story. Come along for the wild ride

This story is strong recommended for mature audiences.

The Mark of a Druid by Rhonda Carpenter

February 22nd, 2009

themarkofadruidWhen twenty-six-year-old Eve McCormick awakes, the images from her nightmare are indelible. The dream feels so real she must force herself to get a grip. This experience is just the beginning for Eve, a Los Angeles clinical hypnotherapist and researcher investigating whether reincarnation is fact or fiction.

Unstoppable visions of an ancient lifetime steal days from her. The danger escalates when she wakes up physically injured and marked with a strange symbol. While Eve battles the past to maintain her sanity and safety, her project is jeopardized as another researcher’s attempts to take over. One partner dies and another is accused of inappropriate conduct. Eve and her friend, Dr. Andrea McMurray, don’t believe in coincidence and probe their shared visions for answers.

On the other side of the Atlantic, Welshman Ryerson Sanders is haunted by his dreams and believes Eve’s research project can help him. For both of them, an ancient Celtic prophecy and long-sought revenge entangles the past with the present. A druidess and a shape-shifter must join to save the druid way of life, while a queen conspires to kill Erin’s only high king. Will the oaths and agendas of the past reach across the centuries to strengthen or to destroy?

Warning recommended for mature audiences.

TruckerRich Says: Rhonda has done a wonderful job with this Celtic fantasy novel.  Although I don’t believe in reincarnation, it makes for a great story.  The story unwinds as characters discover there past lives and how they are connected in there present lives.  Throw in a crime drama and thing get real interesting. I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for what would happen next. Well done Rhonda, thanks for the awesome adventure!

edenThe tree is beautiful and they call her Eden. Her branches reach for the stars. She is like all other trees on planet Earth save for her enormous size. Still, she has leaves and she has bark. She turns sunlight into life. But this tree does not sprout from the dirt. Eden fills the sky, high in orbit above the blue expanse of Uranus. There she changes humanity’s very concept of extraterrestrial life. Dr. Malcolm Green is sent to Eden to audit a science team studying this extraordinary tree from the dark confines of space station Lola. But with unexplainable accidents plaguing the team, tensions are mounting between scientists and custodial staff. Is there a future for this project and Lola? Only Malcolm Green can make that call. From the second he sets foot on Lola, Malcolm’s own future becomes at stake. He soon finds that love, friendship, and his own mortality tremble like a leaf at the sound of Eden’s call.

Antithesis, Book I

Predestination and Other Games of Chance

A new thriller from the author of Sculpting God
Now podcasting

A man walks into a bar…

In the Port of Call bar on Space Station Sidon a man sits at a card game. He’s ruthless, he’s unforgiving, he terrifies his opponents into submission, and he almost never loses. His name is Alex Hart, and he is waiting for someone.

Reuben Briggs never could play nice with others. As a professor he couldn’t stay out of trouble. As the National Security Advisor he couldn’t resist using other people’s secrets to leverage his agenda. He always attracted the wrong kind of attention, and in 2125 that attention turned deadly. A Lunar judge wants his secrets. A corrupt senator wants him dead. The Green Lady wants his fealty.

For three years he’s been one jump ahead of the bounty hunters as he fought his way through the underworld of South America. Living by his wits and the fall of the cards, he’s stolen a new name, bought a new face, and scammed a seat on a shuttle to Space Station Sidon. He’s a man used to micromanaging destiny, and he doesn’t know that he’s walking into a trap more dangerous than anything he’s faced before.

Alex Hart wants to play cards with him.

Walking into the Port of Call, Briggs thinks he’s left all the hunters behind him. But in the looking-glass world above the gravity well, he’s about to discover that survival, like poker, is just another sport.

And in this contest, it’s not whether you win or lose. It’s how you rig the game.

Predestination and Other Games of Chance is a full-cast audio production of the first book in J. Daniel Sawyer’s Antithesis series. New episodes appear every Thursday. If sufficient interest develops, Predestination will be followed by the remaining volumes in the story:

Book 1 Predestination (and Other Games of Chance)
Book 2 Free Will (and Other Compulsions)
Book 3 Predation (and Other Acts of Mercy)
Book 4 Anarchy (and Other Forms of Government)
Book 5 Forgiveness (and Other Forms of Violence)

Warning Harsh language, graphic violence, sexual themes and situations.

TruckerRich Says: I am totally blown away by the brilliance of the authors I post on my site. Dan Sawyer’s story has  me floored with awe!  He has been developing his stories since he was a teenager.  Refining them as he has aged and gained worldly knowledge.  Amazing characters and plot mixed together with a talented voice cast.  Dan showed his brilliance again, in putting it all together with music and sound effects. Altogether a wonderful work of art that I will be waiting for each week to drop into my iTunes feed.
