Angry gods Chapter Fourteen (Dr. Tex Arcana Book 14) by Scott F Neve (1 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Red Sea, Saudi Arabia "Don't touch that thing!" Tex yelled at the two bikini clad scientists. But it was too late. The secret trigger to the ancient trap clicked into place. The salt water began to rush into the sea cave like a focused tsunami. The man-made tunnel was soon flooded beyond sight of the entrance at the shoreline. The frantic threesome raced before the watery onslaught to the last of the subterranean caverns. "It wasn't my fault," Holly Hannah Lacey protested through tears of fear. The other lady scientist named Colt Smith-Wesson laughed before the cowgirl said, "It was too your fault. Your big butt knocked up that fertility figure." "You pushed me," the first girl said as she wiped off her wet cheeks. Colt giggled and said, "I was only trying to get closer to Tex." He hit the back wall of the last cave and then he spun around. The surging waters roared into the cave and then they subsided slowly. It was readily apparent that they would never be able to escape from the one and only route into the tomb. The two girls fell into his arms and clutched his torso as if he were a super hero. Yet he felt impotent and weak. "Well, we certainly are closer than we have ever been before," he said with his usual flare. "I only wish that it wasn't in this place at this time." Tex and the boisterous girls in bikinis were trapped in a grave. The tomb was filled with many vessels and pots surrounding an altar with a ceremonial knife and three bowls.

Dogged and Flogged Chapter Nineteen (Dr. Tex Arcana Book 19) by Scott F Neve Price verified 9 hours ago

Nineveh, Iraq Tex Arcana had become a nightmare creature. He remembered becoming drowsy while reading the book of Revelation. And then everything went silent as the grave and black as death. His soul died for an instant of time. Now he saw the world of the past from a sea monster's eye view. He was a blue dragon with a serpentine body ten leagues long. His deep hunger could only be satisfied with vengeance. He stared down his prey and opened his mile-wide maw. He choked down the city of gold and its wicked inhabitants. Death and destruction came to all as if frozen in time. Then the serpent slowly evaporated. It returned to the earth as it became mud and clay. The gods of ancient Assyria watched from the nearby mountains. They feared the wrath of the one true God more than anything. The male and the female sphinx and the gryphon took their revenge. The terrible trio tore asunder the olive tree that grew beside the river of life-giving water. But they could not kill it or destroy it. Ages flashed by in the wink of an eye. The tree always grew back bigger and better. The Babylonian gods with dual shapes hid in the deep recesses of the earth. The gryphon had an eagle's head, body and wings; plus he had a lion's claws and tail. The gynosphinx was a giant eagle's body, a lion's claws and tail with a woman's head and bust. Likewise, the androsphinx had a lion's body, an eagle's wings with a man's head and chest. Their worshippers dwindled until they were almost extinct. Their temples fell into ruin never to be built again. The ageless gods waited knowing that their seeds of discord must produce a harvest. Honey Arcana drew her husband's spirit back to the reality of today as she said, "The interpretation of the vision is this. The blue dragon is the Tigris River. The city was Nineveh in Iraq. Its treasures are in the river's floor."

Saturnastra Woden by Teresita Blanco (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

PrefaceWoden is the 11th book in the Saturnastra Series. Can you believe I already completed 11 novels? I still have three other books remaining in the series. Still, I feel quite happy that I am already in the final hurdle of this project. When I get an idea in my head, I follow through it. Most people lack the follow-through to become writers. They get bored or out of ideas by page 11. I am always full of cookie ideas. When the thoughts do not come to me, I dream them up. I have always had a fertile imagination. This is needed to write what I consider a fantasy book. When I started this, I chose a theme and then went with it. Though, in the long scheme of things, all the books of these series do not fall under a specific genre. The only thing they have in common are the familial ties, and the world that the characters inhabit. Woden already made a couple of cameos in other books of mines. This will be her stand alone story. It will take place over the course of a couple of days. Sometimes the most important events in people's life take place in a short amount of time. I think this book might actually be what people consider fantasy. The main girl is a magic type of person, and I do feature a decent amount of spells here and there. Then again, how this book ends up getting categorized is all up to the store that is selling my books. I have a particular way of looking at the world, and this viewpoint is reflected somewhat in this book. If you are already up to book 11th in this series, you already know to expect the unexpected. IntroductionI originally said in my first book that you did not need to read the entire series in order. This remains true for this book as well. Woden is its own stand alone novel. What it has in common with the other books is the setting. It takes place in the world that her family calls Saturnastra. The local lifeforms call it something else, as it is to be expected. The book focuses on the first couple of days of Woden away from her ...

MURKMYRE (The Murkmyre Saga Book 1) by Clifford James Hayes (hayesdesign.co.uk) Price verified 9 hours ago

Contains some (mild) adult content. If unsure, do not purchase for persons under 16. A fast-paced, silly space adventure. Murkmyre is the first in a saga; the first sequel, Nocturnia, will be published shortly. There is a lengthy, detailed Timeline and a selection of mono Illustrations at the rear of the book. The first misadventures of Prince Voltron Murkmyre - a disgraced royal of the dystopian Murkmyrian Empire. Having been punished for a crime he didn't commit, Prince Voltron is now out for revenge and retribution, and is accompanied in his travels by Plip, an undesirable slave from the lower orders. The Prince is relentlessly chased by nefarious forces, as he attempts to join his allies and begin an insurrection against the Galactic Empress. He and his underling servant encounter bizarre and dangerous creatures - such as snowfrogs, crab-rabbits and walrus-octopus hybrids - on harsh alien worlds, and get entangled with some of the many (frankly ridiculous) humanoid races of their age. Murkmyre is set in the far distant future; a time much changed from our own, thanks to the Empire's absurd science and technologies. Humans have had to adapt to strange new worlds - evolving and mutating in order to survive. Civil war looms as several new unions emerge to threaten the Empress's throne.

The Warden Threat: A Sci-Fi Counter-Fantasy Novel (Defying Fate Book 1) by D.L. Morrese (Fuzzy Android) (82 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Prince Donald, the idealistic third son of the king of Westgrove, believes he may be the only one capable of protecting his country from an invasion spearheaded by an ancient, massive, and magical stone warrior known as the Warden of Mystic Defiance. When he recovers a mysterious scroll he believes may allow him to take control of the Warden, he eagerly takes on the task. Donald, unfortunately, is woefully unprepared. His only understanding of such things comes from reading fictional tales of epic adventures and brave heroes. He dreams of being one, but to his dismay, his quest unfolds nothing like he imagined. The books in his library seriously understate the complexities and hardships involved, and the real world can be much more confusing and complicated than those in stories. Sometimes it is not easy to identify the villains, and what things seem may not always be what they are. The real threat to the kingdom may not even be what everyone seems to think it is. Most disturbing of all is the realization that the hero is not necessarily predestined to save the day. Heroes can fail. This lighthearted parody is unique -- a soft science fiction counter-fantasy, which pokes a fair amount of good-natured fun at the serious tone and dependence on magic common to many epic fantasy adventure genre novels. With its charming and truly likeable characters, witty, intelligent humor, and prose style blending positive science fiction and epic fantasy elements, The Warden Threat is a delight, perfect for readers of these genres yearning for something fresh and different. This book is also available in the omnibus edition Defying Fate, which includes both The Warden Threat and its sequel, The Warden War. Defying Fate is a Kindle exclusive.
