Hello All,

Dale and I have been communicating about the recent problems with the Forum here at pspowerbooks.com. It has been decided to retire the Forum and move all author & conversational interactions over to Patreon.

Over the next week or so, I'll be closing down the Forum and creating redirects to start funneling visitors of the Forum over to that URL (the main website showing all the books will be staying).

Thank you everyone for your participation on the Forum these past several years! See you on Patreon!! :mrgreen:

p.s. Sorry about all of the coding errors. They reset nightly these days and I can't keep up with changing the code that often... :(

You hit a couple I hadn't read before but most of em I had. LOL
Estep's Elemental Assassin series is good. Bullion's just awesome, though I am kinda disappointed by his latest, Demons LLC, I was hoping for more Jack. LOL For the Kinsella books. I gotta admit. I loved Kinsella the first one, but the ones after it, meh she just jumped it WAY too far into the future and they all started kind of blending together just with different names.
The Ghosts series I'll also approve too. I own every last one of them. Tried his Demonsoul but could never get into it.
Dunbar's Imp series is awesome too. Gotta love it when an author has a 'bad' character as the 'heroine' and said bad character isn't shy about murder and mayhem as a good time.
Got Koban but still need to read it. The extreme future Sci-fi isn't really my cup of tea. I love The Eli Donsaii series, Vaz, and even the family series by Dahners. But when stuff starts hitting out like Ender's Game or the later Kinsella stuff I just lose interest.
Will have to give the last two you mentioned a look soon. Thanks for the tips.

Side note and Edit: Just finished Immortal by Gene Doucette, Pretty good.

2 great series by John Barnes


Timeline Wars Series
A bodyguard stumbles into a multi timeline war. He learns that the terrorist organization that attacked his family is sponsored by a hostile timeline. Adventures and romance ensue. I read this entire series years ago and although I don't remember many details I do know that I enjoyed them immensely.
Book 1
Book 2
Book 3

Jak Jinnaka Series
In a far future the solar system is settled by humanity with a alien outpost in the outer system. The young protagonist Jik finds that he just misses the score for higher education and must decide what to do with his life. His girlfriend is kidnapped and he finds out that his Uncle is more than he seems. I am in the middle of reading the first book even though I have owned the third book for years. There is a lot of author invented slang that make reading the first few chapters a little jarring but I did get used to it. Seems like a good sci-fi espionage series.
Book 1
Book 2
Book 3


I Mentioned these 2 series in particular because they are currently available on Kindle Unlimited. I have read most of John Barnes science fiction and anything he has written is worth reading. I particularly like the Giraut Leones series that starts with A Million Open Doors.

If you want something that will keep you reading for a day or more, Jonathan Renshaw just put out his first book last month called "Dawn of Wonder". It is over 700 pages. The down side? It is book one in what is set to be an epic tale with at least four books. Decent read, I would give it 4/5 stars.

Double-sided witch is out. Book three in the covencraft series. Really good. Modern paranormal in full story mode without the derailment into softcore porn.

I've found these two fictions by accident. They are hilarious and not meant to be taken all that seriously. One of them is still running with updates every day or two, you should really try them. But don't try eating or drinking while you dor or you'll have to clean up after most chapters.

I can recommend these sci/fi series:

1) James S. A. Corey's The Expanse series - huge hard sci/fi saga that's perfect for all those voracious readers that like their books by the pound. Each one is the size of 'War and Peace', but like, you know, actually interesting.

2) Gibson Michaels' Sentience Trilogy - really enjoyed it.

3) Evan Currie - has a few different series and I liked them all.

4) Joshua Dalzelle - Omega Force series/Black Fleet Trilogy (#3 is not out yet) - really good stuff. Omega Force reads sort of like a buddy movie in space; great humour with plenty of action.

5) Gord Zajac's Major Karnage. Rootin' tootin' stand alone novel of Earth after The Invasion. (Invasion? What invasion? There was no invasion! We're the government. We wouldn't lie to you! Talk to the Major - he's an interesting guy. Just remember, no matter what, do Not ask him about The WAR!!!)

I have been reading the Words of Fel books Mark recommended.
http://www.weavespinner.net/worlds_of_fel.htm

I definitely enjoy them. The books are very long, and although riddled with misspellings from time to time, the errors do not distract you from the story. The author really needs a few good proofreaders and he would have an absolutely epic work.
