The Cyber Chronicles - Book I: Queen of Arlin
on May 21, 2011
As designed by the author, I was captured by this first book and eventually purchased and read all the other eight. The story line is continuous and exciting. The books could benefit by a better proof reading. However the little mistakes did not interfere with my enjoyment in the least bit. Great work T C!

Gateway: Left Behind
on Sep. 06, 2011
Left Behind is exciting and full pf action. The plot is well thought out and cohesive. The characters and their actions flow well and are believable. I recommend this book and yhis author to all devotees of SF be they pure fantasy SF or spacers. Our author has taken some time to research his subject and it shows.

Megan - Evaluation
on Sep. 10, 2011
This is an action packed book with a well thought out an interesting plot. I recommend it wholeheartedly. Megan Evaluation could do with a close proofread. Spell check is not as important as reading for content and correct usage (not something an engineer like me should know). Having said that, this is still a great read that will make difficult for you to put down!

Resurrection (Book 1: The Chronicles of Chaos)
on Sep. 11, 2011
This book has promise - which has been sullied in the first 30 pages with poor English usage. For instance one "toes a line" but does not tow the line. One also wastes time rather than waists time. It needs a good proof read. I think that I will look elsewhere for now. Proof reading and correction can make it truly enjoyable. The plot seems good.

Betrayed, Book 2 of The Turner Chronicles
on Dec. 16, 2011
A continuation from book one and just as well written. The plot is exciting and the action and intrigue are powerfully presented. This, like book one is a highly recommended five star read.

Following on the heels of the first, this is an absorbing read with a well thought out plot, lots of action and lots of intrigue. She makes me want more and more of the same genre.

E.D.F Chronicles - The Krenaran Massacre.
on June 06, 2012
Story line and plot are good and there are many action scenes. There are, however, a few too many leaps in the action when the reader is left wondering how we got from a dire predicament to the next secton which is obviosly disconnected from the previous part. There are also a few lapses in grammar. The most widespread is the use of "your" fore the contraction you're meaning you are ... The author shows promise however.
-
E.D.F Chronicles - E.D.F resurgent
on June 08, 2012
Better than the first book, the action is more gripping. The plot continues with characters and drama from the virfst book. The author could ues a good proof reader who is well versed in English grammar. There are some mistakes that break the train of actiion while the reader says "did I really see that?"
-
Venus in Sole Visa
on July 22, 2012
Technically accurate and a good addition to knowledge of the recent transit. I did not find the document littered with typos but indeed in need of a proof read. tance, something is missing in this sentence: "Kepler was in Wurtemberg Germany in 1571 to an innkeeper’s daughter and a soldier of fortune he never knew."

The Lightning Finish
on Sep. 11, 2012
Excellent continuation book! A great read with action and suspense. There are probably too many flash forward/backs to make it an easy read, however. One will have to be used to the Aussie dialect and spellings or the reader may stumble over what are considered misspellings and misuses. Overall, a good book which I highly recommend!

The Servant of the Black Horde
on Sep. 11, 2012
As with the previous two books, this is an outstanding continuation with action, intrigue and suspense. I highly recommend it to all SCIFI readers!
