Book recommendations
Jul. 4th, 2021 07:17 pmA few books caught my interest in the Kindle recommendations.
First off, there's three books by Dorothy Grant. All are stand-alones, and I'd love to see sequels to any of them. In the order I read them: Going Ballistic, Shattered Under Midnight and Scaling the Rim
All are set in the future on human colonized worlds. Each has a female protagonist. And they are *good* characters, They've got their flaws, and they aren't omni-competent. They are even at a disadvantage sometimes. But they work with what they've got aqnd managed to get through their troubles.
I'm definitely keeping an eye out for more.
Next we have Ivan Kal. He's got a lot of books. Many of his books share a multiverse background that he refers to as the "Kalverse".
In order, the Kalverse series are:
Rise of Empire (12 books)
Universe on Fire (4 books with a 5th one coming)
Eternal Path (2 books)
Tower of Power (5 books)
I started with the Universe on Fire series. Then I read the Rise of empire series (and because I'd read them out of order I got a few surprises in Rise of Empire). I've just started Eternal.
He;'s got some problems with science and with scale of space battles and the like, but his stories are interesting enough that I'm willing to ignore that.
