Refugee: Bio of a Space Tyrant Volume 1

Refugee (Bio of a Space Tyrant, #1)Refugee by Piers Anthony
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had the complete Bio of a Space Tyrant series as a college student and I was thrilled to discover that they were available on Kindle. As a young college student I didn't pick up on the political subtext to the story...the parallel to the plight of the "boat people" under the policies of Reagan...I was just caught up in the tragic adventure of young Hope Hubris and his family. While the Space Tyrant series is quite dark, especially compared to Piers Anthony's other series, it remains a great read. I am getting a good deal more out of it in my 40's than I did in my 20's and I look forward to continuing to read the series.

Allan Gilbreath: A Short Story CollectionAllan Gilbreath: A Short Story Collection by Allan Gilbreath
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a thoroughly enjoyable collection of short stories. If your interests are Sci-Fi, Steampunk, Dark Fantasy or even Crime/Mystery there is something here for you. Allan is a wonderful and creative writer and I highly recommend his short story collection either in paperback or for your kindle. I liked it so much I have it in both versions.
