Saturnastra: Melina by Teresita Blanco (1 Review)    Price verified 16 minutes ago

Preface Melina is the fifth book in the series. Then again, she is technically the 4th, but I decided to split Ahi in two. As of now, you may have noticed the order I take with my books. The Melina story has some magical elements here and there. The dragons only play a bit role in this story. The book focuses on Melina's adventures as a courtesan. She was bought as a slave, by the figurehead of Sassari to play court politics. This book also focuses on the religion of the people of Saturnastra. Most fantasy books tend to avoid the whole God situation. Then again, everyone in this part of the Solar System believes in a God. Godliness was more common during the time when magic was practice in planet Earth. Since magic is common in Saturnastra, the worship of the Gods is also commonplace. I delineate somewhat the theology of the world, and the relationship between the people and the Gods. Aside from the theology, I also established how the slavery system works in Saturnastra. IntroductionThe book Melina is the first book in the series not told in first person. For this book, I created a fake writer to tell the story. He is a character belonging to the world of Saturnastra. He is trying to make sense of all the wild stories told about the protagonist, Melina. This is something that is not commonly done in the English world. It is a bit of a fantastic pseudo biography or an anecdotal book. It was an interesting gimmick to say the least. The story follows the moment that Melina first appeared in Saturnastra recorded history. We know from the narrator, that Melina was a war hero. He is trying to piece together the truth about Melina, for better of for worse. He takes a bit of a Journalism method of writing. He forges his story based on numerous interviews, and physical evidence. By all extents, the narrator thinks that he is getting the truth about Melina's life. You will only see Melina, when there is a human type of person observing her. You will never seen the point of ...

Saturnastra: Ahi: Book 2 by Teresita Blanco (1 Review)    Price verified 16 minutes ago

PrefaceThis is the only book I have made an official second part. Originally, I wanted to make Ahi another stand alone book. I then decided to add more to his story. It is in the second half of the book that Ahi really takes to traveling. He ends up visiting two different continent. It is in this book that I showcase the scale of the world. During his journey, Ahi meets new people and dragons. I expand the draconic lore and I add a couple of new flavors into the mix. So, if you like dragons, this second half of the book is going to be more to your liking. I also go into details about the other types of creatures that call this world their home. Aside from dragons, I also added a couple of demons into the mix. As for the front cover, I painted it. It features the two personas of Ahi. There is a Ahi the tiny human looking fellow, and Ahi the giant Space Dragon. The thing he is standing on is the Titan moon. At the moment, it does not have its usual golden covering. The floor is the world of Saturn. I wanted to use the moon in order to serve as a scale for Ahi. I hope you find this fantasy story quite entertaining.IntroductionThis is the second part of the book Ahi. It is the only book of the series that is a true sequel. I am not the type of fellow that likes to write about the same person all the time. Once a character runs its course, I move onto the next fellow. This was not the case with my little Ahi. By now, you may already guess that Ahi does not think the way most people do. As the humans in my book put it, Ahi is a professional madman. I was not trying to make a point on that matter. Rather, I was showing draconic behavior being displayed by someone who looks human. If he was in his dragon form, his behavior would be pretty normal. Ahi was also not put in that world to make life for people easy. He is his own man and he will do whatever he pleases. It is a good thing for the humans that he has a good heart. He would never hurt anyone on purpose. Aside from ...

Saturnastra Chicot by Teresita Blanco (1 Review)    Price verified 45 minutes ago

Preface Chicot is the sixth book in my fantasy series. You can read them whichever way you please. It will not change too much the understanding of the whole. The books are designed to be their own stand alone work. Still, depending on the order you choose, you may miss a few key details. Chicot explains the source of the weapons that were key in the story of Melina. He is a craftsman, and he made tools both for war and for peace. He was mostly known in Saturnastra for his weapons for war. This book is his story. I find that a person who makes a weapon is just as interesting as the guy who wields it. Without skilled weaponsmith, people today would be fighting with clubs. This story also explains in detail how the guild system works. Guilds tend to get put on a pedestal in most fantasy books. They were never painted in their true corrupted colors. Chicot's main issue with them was that apprentices had to work free for a period of time, before getting their Journeyman license. Nobody in their right mind should, ever, ever work for free. IntroductionChicot is another one of my books told from a down to earth perspective. It is a bit of a fantastic biography. The book is told from the perspective of a character within the story. While Melina's story was obtained from numerous interviews, Chicot's story was put together by someone who grew up with him. Jozef paints all the different faces of Chicot. Since he is not a professional biographer type of person, Jozef only tells things as he sees it. As you read the book, you will realize that Jozef is not the most reliable narrator. Unreliable narrators is kind of my thing. Every human has its own biased, and Jozef is not different with that matter. Still, he is not the type of person to downplay Chicot's flaws. As far as flaws are concerned, Chicot has many of them. This is just part of designing a well-rounded type of person. This writing style also helps ground this fantasy story by limiting the point of view. As with ...

15 year-old Dakota Scout comes from a world of fear and famine, a world of sudden storms, of feral dogs, and gangs of murderous 'prowlers' who torture and murder for sport.

Saturnastra: Marduke by Teresita Blanco (1 Review)    Price verified 16 minutes ago

There comes a time when a reader must turn into a writer. For most of my adolescence, I was reading a large range of books. Most of them focuses on fantasy. One day, I started to grow bored of them. It seemed to me that the entire genre was just repeating itself. It was then when I decided to write my own fantasy book. By then, I had already some experience with writing. I had just finished my long poetry series, and I had a couple of short stories under my belt. It seemed like the right time to jump into a longer project. This was when I conceived my Saturnastra series. I have been working on the series all throughout college. Even though I graduated from Journalism, I still kept up with my fantasy book series. Even tonight, I will be adding more to the 10th book in the series. The front cover I painted it myself. It features my protagonist Marduke sitting on the empty throne of the King. Despite being fantasy, my story has a tad bit of horror elements blended in there. It wasn't my idea to have a horror scene. Rather, I noticed it when I was reading it to my editor. My dear brother asked me, "Why did this turn into a horror movie?" I did not have an answer for him. It just happened. Aside from horror, there are some comic elements. I cannot point them out per say. Rather, I tend to be randomly funny. I only notice when I read some of the scenes out loud, and my brother cannot help but chuckle. This first book sums up my ideas of everything that a fantasy book should have. This includes a dragon, a magic guy, army battles, demons, and a male Sphinx. As for the target age group, there really isn't one. When I write, I do not have a target audience. I only write the type of book that I would enjoy reading. I can at least say that I avoid one particular type of scene that have become so common place in today's fantasy books. Why is the book series called Saturnastra? Saturn is a familiar planet we all know and loved. It was formally a gas giant, till I gave it some ...

Feynman and Boyd finally come together. Good read. There better be a volume three coming. "- GoodreadsSitting alone in his truck, Richard Feynman watches the Trinity Test fail. A year later, months after the celebrations that follow the end of World War Two, Lottie Boyd drifts alone on the Atlantic with a sniper rifle over her lap, one of the few to have escaped the Silent Zones.The fear that a large scale nuclear event would kick off a chain reaction of much more stable elements going into a fisson-state, burning the planet away, was real in the formative years of atomic testing. In Feynman and Boyd, the reverse occurs. The Trinity test fails due to a previously unidentified counter-reaction, where something in the natural world snuffs out combustion. The dusty by-product of this reaction, nicknamed "Deaden," is found to stabilize any combustible form, rendering weapons useless. The Manhattan Project quickly becomes a facility for creating Deaden. It is this anti-weapon that wins World War II. Within weeks of discovering Deaden, and using controlled reactions to manufacture it, it's then discovered that Deaden eventually also stops cellular combustion, killing every surrounding living thing. These areas are the Silent Zones. Despite this, manufacturing keeps being developed, and a massive, singular Silent Zone befalls most of the world, killing most living things in it's grip.

Final Season by Scott McElhaney (9 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

When disaster strikes unexpectedly, Sephora finds that she needs answers. Her desires bring her right back to the time and place of the life-changing event. It happened during the summer after Sephora's sophomore year of high school. She and her brother Isaiah had been making the most of their season passes to the Wild World theme park down the road. It was a summer of excitement and some bonding between two siblings who pretty much ignored each other at school during the past year. Then suddenly an all-important bolt gave way at an inopportune time during a ride they had been enjoying. Sephora woke in the hospital to discover that her injuries were minor compared to what others had been put through. Her life had changed in the blink of an eye and she wasn't the slightest bit ready. She especially wasn't ready for all those sympathetic glances and whispers from everyone when she returned to school at the start of her junior year. Something amazing happened however when she returned to the park toward the end of the season. She recalled that on the day of that life-changing event, an odd man had given her a "Lifetime Pass" shortly after they arrived in the park. That pass had now started giving her access to places and things that made no sense to her.
