NovaForge description
Solaris. A planet like any other, rife with wars, science and love. But at the peak of its civilization, a great meteor fell, bringing long-dead souls to Solaris, souls that had been sustained by the life-force of one lone man, Ineal.
At the moment of impact, these souls scattered across Solaris, giving inhuman abilities to mortals while scarring their bodies and corrupting their lives.
Samuel was one such man, a man of faith who thought to use his powers to worship his God: he watched his followers, and his planet, die. Seas turned to lava and the skies darkened. And as Samuel’s heart grew weary and angry, he used his powers to manipulate the world to serve him alone.
Samuel became god of a planet whose only life was the symbiotic life so like his own.
Centuries later, he discovered others, threats that had not been on this planet before. A winged woman; a cyborg; a future-seer and a child. A great vengeance burned a comradery between them.
They were souls that could overthrow him. Souls that he would need to destroy.

My review of NovaForge

If you are looking for a highly captivating read, you may stop here and try out NovaForge by Scott Toney. It’s Book 1 of the Nova Trilogy, set in the distant future on Solaris, a planet that suffers a fall of a meteor that brings dead souls with it and scatters them all over the planet to scar people’s bodies and enslave their minds.
And there’s one man, Samuel, who has the power to manipulate the souls. Julieth, Riad, Ivanus, and Bayne are the only ones who can stop Samuel.
I was very impressed by the novel on many levels. First, the world-building. Scott Toney has done a great job inventing a new world with creatures you’ve never read about. The author paints vivid pictures of the world where the story takes place and of the monsters this world is teeming with. Well done!
Second, the pace of the novel. You’ll never get bored reading NovaForge. From the opening scene you get right into the action that’s going to make your heart thump wildly. There are parts where the main characters are given a break from action, and these parts give us a chance to get to know the characters better.
NovaForge is a well-structured, captivating novel with twists and turns. It has a great ending that made me want for more. I look forward to reading Book 2 of the series.

SUPPORT A GREAT AUTHOR!!!



CHAINS OF PROPHECY
by Jason Crawford



I read Chains of Prophecy a while ago but I decided to post my review of it now as at the moment Jason Crawford and his wife have launched a project called “Publish Chains of Prophecy!” They already have a bit over 2K and 14 days to get it to 10K. It would mean the world to the author if you support him! Check out the links below:



CHAINS OF PROPHECY DESCRIPTION

Samuel Buckland is a young man who has it all – a great job, nice car, and prospects for the future. Gregory Caitlin is a businessman who specializes in designing the next generation of technology, and he’s running for Governor of California.
But when the two cross paths, even the angels tremble.
An archangel has been taken from Heaven, and a sorcerer is using her power to steal knowledge directly from the Godhead. Sam must overcome his lack of faith and accept his destiny as heir to the magic of King Solomon, or the balance between Heaven and Hell will be destroyed forever.
Caitlin has been busy too. He’s learned the secret to bring back God into a Godless world. With each innovation, with each new development, he’s closer and closer to the paradise he imagines the Earth could be…and he’ll be damned if this accountant gets in his way.
An atheist forced to harness the powers of demons and genies. A believer who has begun to walk a darker path. Bound together by an archangel who can see God’s plans for both of them.
Can any of them escape the Chains of Prophecy?


MY REVIEW OF CHAINS OF PROPHECY

I really enjoyed reading Chains of Prophecy by Jason Crawford. This book has a great cast of characters, religion, action, humor and more. Samuel Buckland doesn't believe in God, but after a chain of tragic events in his life he is going to change his opinion. The question is, will he live after meeting the one who's trying to kill him?

The author did a great job bringing to life both good and evil characters, fleshing out the characters of Samuel Buckland and Gregory Caitlin, making them real. I loved reading about Sam dreaming about Mikey and the girl chained to the wall, and it was quite a surprise to find out who they really were. And of course a great idea about the book Sam found after his parents' death.

Chains of Prophecy has great descriptions, action and dialogue. I'm sure the author had a great time writing this book. I now look forward to reading the next book in the series.


 



ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jason P. Crawford was born in Louisiana in 1981. His writing career began in 2012, when he sat down for some "writing time" with his wife and sister-in-law. He has always been fascinated by the magic in the real world, leading him to focus most of his efforts on urban fantasy and science fiction.
In addition to publishing his own work, he has spent time as a freelance writer, preparing articles and ghost-writing for others. In addition to Chains of Prophecy, Jason has completed The Drifter, a story about gods walking in the world of men, and Cycles of Destruction: Earth, a science fiction novel which reveals the true history of the human race and the forces that shaped it. His life as a husband, father, and teacher (as well as hardcore gamer) have opened up and nurtured a wealth of imagination and given Jason a tendency to flights of fancy, and those flights give rise to his work.
