Smashwords book reviews by Larry B. Gray
- The Fallen Angle (Harbinger of Doom Volume 2)
on Aug. 07, 2011
The Fallen Angle is the second book in The Harbinger of Doom Saga and like the first book, The Gateway, it is a fast paced, action pack story that I could not put down. In fact I read it in one sitting and again was only disappointed by the fact it came to an end. The charactors created by Glenn G. Thater are easy to follow and identify with. The story line flows seamlessly from the first book to this one and I can't wait to read the next book. This is a great read and I highly recommend it.
- Knight Eternal (A Novel of Epic Fantasy) (Harbinger of Doom Volume 3)
on Nov. 10, 2011
Glenn G Thater has done it to me again. I was reading along, totaly entralled by the story when I turned the page an the book ended. Damn You Glenn.
This was the best book of the three of The Harbinger of Doom Saga and they were all excellent reads. Once you start one you can not put it down. Knight Eternal was so captivating that I literally dreamed about the story last night.
The entire series is an excellent read and I highly recommend it for both Adults and YA who like fast action adventure series that is easy to follow and read. I can't wait for the next installment.

- Island Ghosts: A Will Castleton Adventure
on April 12, 2012
Very good story and enjoyed the lead charactor. The only problem with the book was it was way to short for this type of book. I will be reading other "Will Castleton Adventures." I recommend this book.
- Meeting Myself-Snippets from a Binging and Bulging Mind
on June 13, 2012
I enjoyed reading “Meeting Myself: Snippets from a Binging and Bulging Mind” by Brenda J. Wood. It is her story of overcoming struggles with abuse and bulimia. She tells the story through “snippets” from her journals and relates how God enabled her to triumph over them.
The story is well written and easy to read and follow. Many of us can find points of commonality with her life story and struggles with our own various vices. Like Brenda the victory is found in the total surrender to God.
I highly recommend this book.
- Daimones
on Nov. 30, 2012
Daimones by Massimo Marino is a post-apocalyptic book with a slightly different take on the storyline. It was a great read and I found it hard to put down once I started reading the book.
The author is an excellent story teller, weaving a tail of survival which was well thought-out and developed. The story was deep but it was also easy to follow. I often found myself pondering what he said and thinking wow.
I really enjoyed the characters. They were very believable and easy to relate to. Massimo Marino did a great job of developing them and relating them to the storyline.
This was a great read and I really enjoyed it.
I highly recommend Daimones by Massimo Marino.

- The Dreamer Genome
on Dec. 21, 2012
The Dreamer Genome by Steve S. Grant is an excellent sci-fi novel. I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this book. From page one to the end it kept me glued to the story.
The author did a great job weaving a tail of suspense and a little intrigue together into a well-developed storyline. Each new plot and twist tied into the main story and was easy to follow. My only problem was it ended and now I HAVE to read the next book, it was that good.
The characters were well developed and very believable. It was easy to relate to each of the main characters, both the good guys and the bad. I found myself joining into the action as an unseen extra, cheering on each of the other characters.
I really liked The Dreamer Genome by Steve S. Grant.
I highly recommend this book to all readers.

- A Far Traveler: The First Alien
on Feb. 20, 2013
How would like a mix of ancient Egyptian, modern adventure and science fiction? If so A Far Traveler – The First Alien by W. Blake Heitzman is the novel for you. This fast paced, high action adventure will keep you on the edge of your reading seat from start to finish.
The storyline is well developed and thought-out. It is easy to follow even with the many twist and turns it takes. Add to this jumping back and forth over 3,000 years and you stay on your toes. But, like I said it is easy to follow.
W. Blake Heitzman did a great job developing each of the characters in the story. They were both believable and easy to identify with. I found myself following along the story and characters as an unseen member of the cast and cheering everybody on.
I really enjoyed and got into reading A Far Traveler by W. Blake Heitzman and I highly recommend it to all readers.

I really like the way Michael R. Hicks develop each of the main characters in the story. They were both real and easy to identify with. Being able to identify with the characters made the story all the more believable.
If the next two books of the trilogy are as exciting as the first, look out.

- The Last Praetorian
on March 27, 2013
(no rating)
One of my favorite genres is science fiction/space opera and The Last Praetorian by Mike Smith is the epitome of this genre. I really liked this book.
The storyline was full of non-stop action and adventure. It was hard to catch my breath between the twist and turns. Mike Smith did a great job developing the story making it easy to follow and get into. This was one of those stories that I did just that and got absorbed by it. The action and space battles were written in such a way as to be very real and believable.
I also liked the way the author developed each of the main characters. The background into their lives and history made it easy to identify with each of them. I found myself cheering them on. It was hard not to get emotionally involved with each character.
I really enjoyed The Last Praetorian by Mike Smith and highly recommend this book to all readers.
