Battle Earth III (Book 3)
on March 18, 2012
Book three of this epic adventure culminates as the forces of earth are united against an alien force of advanced and overwhelming power. The door is left open for further challenges. All three books are an excellent read.

The Colonisation of Mars
on April 08, 2012
Always fasinated by anything Mars, I found TCOM to be on par with the best of efforts. I started reading on a Saturday afternoon,stopping when I could no longer prevent sleep. Continuing the next day, I finished that afternoon. Somewhere that first day my psysic became in sync with Sam. For the better part of those two days, I was on Mars, traveling, thinking and wordering. How could I be on Mars and not explore? How could I end, how could I leave? The answer was not a choice, but the next step. As the last page was read, it was right.

Secret of the Immortals
on April 21, 2012
Simply an extraordinary tale. The Secret of the Immortals is filled with real life characters, action, aventure and in depth scientific details. Follow Jim Leigh from Utah to the Amazon of Brazil, as he and the group of scientist/adventures search for and find the secret of the immortals. Oh yeah, there are enough bad guys to keep it exciting. The end of the story leaves open the possibility of a sequel. Lets hope Mr. Cox will be so inclined, soon.

The Children of Roswell (Book One) The Swift Chronicle
on April 21, 2012
Things about Roswell have always seem a little mysterious at best. I mean cover stories of weather ballons and swap gas are as unbelievable as the various UFO sightime accounts themselves. Anyway, enough for me to take a look at this "true account". If yo add the secrective militay intellegence and the evil aspect of the CIA, then almost anything is beleivable. This first part was good enough for me to want to read the complete series. Try it you'll fing it very entertaining.

The Children of Roswell (Book Two) The Homestead Incident
on April 21, 2012
The second book gets quite a bit more interesting. Lot of questions from the first book are answered as the story progesses. More of the dreade CIA, of course. More characters are added and crarry though to the last book. Well writen and impossible not to continue on the the last book. By this time, your hooked. The final book awaits you.

Singularity Deferred
on May 05, 2012
Well, heres another book I read from start to finish, without stopping. While it has the fast paced action of a space opera, the premise of being thrust 400 years into the future adds the element of what if. How would you react, what would you do. It allows you inside the story, allows to to easily become part of the story. Want a personal adventure 400 years in the future? Read it, you will no be disapointed.

The Founding of Planet Haven
on Jan. 03, 2013
A really great story, not overwhelmed by high tech gadgets. Instead you get a cast of characters chosen by the aliens for their honor and integerity. They colonize a lush earth like planet, determined not to repeat the failings of the earth they have left behind. With deep character development and thought provoking philosophical concepts, this a rewarding read. I hope to see more from this author.
