The Orb of Azcera -Tony Van Sant

-

Are you a fan of the Medieval world of Fantasy with Knights in Shining armour - Knights of the Round table and what about the futuristic Sci-Fi world think Star Trek and the Matrix type movies that have set a standard for the unreal and futuristic worlds. Who Knows though, maybe one day our world could actually be like The Jetsons - Cars replaced by Hovercrafts.

Today's review is a fantasy/sci-fi book titled 'The Orb of Azcera" by author Tony Van Sant.

Years ago , a valiant Knight by the name of Agostine slayed what was known as the beast , his skin was crafted into a magical orb like object and once it was discovered how powerful the object was and what a weapon it could become , it was cast out and mysteriouly disappeared from the face of the earth. It was to sit for a thousand years of doormancy and nobody knowing it was there for if it was ever come across it could provide deadly consequences.
The Orb of Azcera has been revealed and discovered in it's hiding place. This Orb when used to it's full potential can destory those around it . When the Lieutenant Cale Tanner and his Special Ops team ( think Army/Marine Types) quickly discover the powerful and threatning nature of the mysterious orb after failing to arrest its bearer and keeper, General Thadeon Marloc. In order to restore hope for themselves and their people, Lieutenant Cale Tanner and his Special Ops Team must unlock the secrets of a world long since forgotten by all human race. However they are in for a nasty suprise as what they are about to discover defies all practical logic, and soon the lines between history and legend, between facts and myth, are quickly blurred.- What will happen to their world as the balance between what was reality and fantasy is about to become as unclear as the sun on a rainy day.
The Orb of Azcera is filled with an wonderful array of characters , that help keep the novel alive and kicking with action-packed scenes that once you get hooked the pages start to flyby quickly and the next thing you know you have reached the finish, This novel is rumoured to be the start of a Trilogy and if the rest of the books are anything like The Orb of Azcera , it is a trilogy to keep an eye out for, and who knows at the next sci-fi/fantasy convention someone might be dressed up as the Knight Agostine or Lieutenant Cale Tanner.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
