Eric Johnson

Biography

Been writing since I was little, but now going to the mainstream side, since I like my work, and need to see what people think... But... I have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, and using that experience with my foray into military science fiction. Currently I have one book off of that, and one based on my flight sim experience.

Smashwords book reviews by Eric Johnson

Conformity Bullet on May 07, 2010

Short, sweet, and funny, just how I like it ;)
On the Great Wall of Texas on July 13, 2010

Short and sweet. I liked it!
Corporate Responsibility on Aug. 04, 2010

Unlike the other stories, this one was actually pretty good. Short, and (no pun intended) to the point.
Space Junque (Apocalypto 1) on Sep. 04, 2010

You want a story that's going nuts and postapocalyptic? Read this book. At the time of this review, I haven't finished it and just impressed...
In the Line of Duty on Oct. 05, 2010

Not too bad, a nice short story that works out pretty good.
Spots the Space Marine: Defense of the Fiddler on Oct. 09, 2010

For some reason when I read this, I think of a Masamune Shirow painting from Intron Depot that shows a dude in armor fighting bugs. Which I really can't shake at all. But it is in anthology format so you get small episodes of interaction of Spots, assigned to Team Kitty, and her partner, Claws. Really short stories, but personally at the start was confused as to what was going on, but down the road things started to gel as more of course was described. I have to say though that it left me with a sense of wanting to read more. So it's not bad at all, so check it out as while FREE, it's still good...
Stormfront on Oct. 11, 2010

Not too bad actually. The combat wasn't rushed, it was good. A little more "mystery" but overall a good shorty.
Dark Lighthouse on Oct. 27, 2010

It actually wasn't pretty bad for mil sci-fi. A good short romance story that didn't go too the extreme, and well written. I honestly dont' have many critiques about this story, so I'll just end it there.
She's All I Can Think About on Nov. 17, 2010

Definitely a good read. Shows how obsessed a man can get, nice...
Bukkake Brawl on Dec. 02, 2010

Having read an earlier version, I have to say Brent has a vivid imagination, and this book doesn't let you down, in a good way...
Be Sarcastic on Dec. 20, 2010

While I'll never need this book I'm sure a lot do... :)
