Killer new sci fi from Anspach & Cole

Check it out!

The Galaxy is a Dumpster Fire…

A hot, stinking, dumpster fire. And most days I don’t know if the legionnaires are putting out the flames, or fanning them into an inferno.

A hostile force ambushes Victory Company during a reconnaissance-in-force deep inside enemy territory. Stranded behind enemy lines, a sergeant must lead a band of survivors against merciless insurgents on a deadly alien world somewhere along the galaxy’s edge. With no room for error, the Republic’s elite fighting force must struggle to survive under siege while waiting on a rescue that might never come.

When you think you’ve surrounded the Legion… you’ve just made your last mistake.

Legionnaire is the thrilling introduction to Nick Cole & Jason Anspach’s Galaxy’s Edge series!

 

Cover reveal for FS4: Battlefront

As usual, I am late again, but the inestimable Jasper Schreurs is not!  Me, I cracked my rib skiing.  Yes.  Again.  Could I *be* more stupid?!?  Muscle spasms and doctor visits and stretching and resting are eating up my days.  😛

Fortunately, Genius Jasper knows what he is doing.  Look at this!!!!

World’s Greatest Book Reviews

Like many writers, I have a habit of checking the Amazon pages of my books to see how they’re ranked from week to week.  I’m also intrigued by reviews not only on Amazon but on Goodreads, Kobo, Nook, blogs, everywhere.  It’s interesting to see what people say.  Writing is a lonely job, so I always perk up when I see there are real live people out there in the world who like my work.

Fan mail and positive reviews are uber freaking cool.  Each new book is a marathon.  Every thumbs-up keeps me going.

Sometimes I agree with negative reviews, too.  Day by day, I try to learn and improve, and I’m very much aware that I’m not perfect.  On the other hand,  on occasion a negative review is just frustrating.

Lately, FS1 has seen a steady stream of new posts on Amazon.  Here is the most awesome review I’ve ever seen!  Thanks, man!!  “Unique, creative, fantastic”…
…followed by a one-star review by somebody who was bored before the end of the first chapter.

Dude, the first chapter is, like, five pages long????

Next here are some older reviews for Plague Year on Amazon.ca, where a Canadian fan recently pointed me to what can only be described as the World’s Greatest Negative Review EVER!!!!   🙂

Check this out…
Okay, look.  It’s been a while since I read Plague Year, but I did write it.  I remember there are a few sequences in which our heroes are so overcome by pain and adrenaline and grief that they stagger like drunks through the ruins post-apocalyptic California.  In this extreme, Cam briefly experiences visual and auditory hallucinations.  I guess those are the “dream sequences”?”

There is not a single dog (or any kind of pet) in the story.  They ate the pets!  There definitely isn’t a talking dog.  Color me confused!!  🙂

And thank you to everyone who enjoys the books!
