Cloak of the Light

"It's wrong to do nothing when you have the power to do something."

This isn't just an alien visitation. It's an all-out invasion. That's why I call them invaders."

Ben sat back in a daze. "It makes perfect sense."

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it. What better way to take over the world than without the inhabitants even knowing it's happening? If an alien race has cloaking technology, it would be the perfect invasion."

Drew nodded. "You're right. But their ability to cloak themselves goes beyond just being invisible. They can walk through walls and doors. It's like they are in some interdimensional state. What I don't get is how come they can see us but we can't see them. Oh yeah, I can't hear them at all. It's like watching a silent movie. I haven't figured it out yet, but they can affect the outcome of naturally occurring phenomena. Like make a tire go flat to cause an accident or maybe weaken a bridge support to make it collapse. It's usually the small things though. They do what they do is such a way that people would never suspect the event has been tampered with. They are extremely careful and crafty that way." (excerpt from Cloak of the Light.)

There seems to be an interest in aliens and other dimensions that parallel our own. At least that is what Drew Carter and Benjamin Berg believe for now. When a science experiment at the local college reveals the ability to gain insight and see into a parallel dimension running alongside our own, they don't know what else to believe the shadow-like figures really are. Since Ben has always believed in aliens, he convinces Drew that is precisely what Drew has been seeing with his ability to see faster than light travels.

However Drew also see's what he calls light invaders as well. They have the ability to wage war in a world that no one but Drew can see. He can't understand what their true purpose is, but when the dark invaders attempt to kill both himself and Ben, all he knows is he can't stand by and do nothing. His unique abilities of heightened senses have allowed him the ability to be one step ahead of the human race and he believes he must do all he can to convince others that there are aliens all around us that we simply can't see. The only person he isn't able to convince is a girl he met in high school Sydney, a church going girl, who believes there is more to what is happening than Drew is willing to admit.

All Drew knows is that the light invaders are always present and helping in the battle against the dark invaders whenever Sydney or her church group is nearby. Even Sydney seems to radiate a blue flame like aura all around her and she seems to be illuminated in a way that offers a sense of peace and power that aid the light invaders. Now it's a race against time for Drew to aid Ben in rebuilding the device that will enable others to see into the parallel dimension before the dark invaders attempt to stop them.

I received Cloak of the Light by Chuck Black compliments of Waterbrook Multnomah Publishers for my honest review. I did not receive any monetary compensation for a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are strictly my own unless otherwise noted. I LOVE this series as it explains precisely what an unbeliever would see if they had the ability to see into the spiritual realm. With no basis for any other explanation, it is logical that Drew and Ben would believe they are seeing aliens. This is such an amazing new series dealing with spiritual warfare and I especially love how Chuck explains his ideas using biblical references in each chapter at the end along with scripture verses to back up how his ideas came to life, such as angels using swords to further enhance the readers experience in enjoying this amazing fictional series!
I personally give this one a 5 out of 5 stars and can't wait for the next one to come out. This has definitely made it to my "watch list!"

Dark Biology

Ever wonder what would happen if you take one of the worst viruses that the CDC has ever worked with and create a biological terror that is unleashed not only on earth but also in space as well? Well you have the beginnings of the premise behind the latest Science Fiction Thriller by author Bonnie Duran, Dark Biology.

Hildi Hildebrant has been in constant competition with her twin brother, Chet both working for the CDC, the Center for Disease Control, and both in what is known as Level 4, where the most volatile of diseases and viruses are kept searching for possible vaccines like Ebola and H1N1, or also known as the Spanish Flu. While Hildi has been given a unique opportunity to venture on the latest shuttle leaving for the International Space Station to work on the effects of microgravity as to how it pertains to working on a vaccine against the flu, her brother Chet has been defying the rules in hopes of securing a Nobel Prize for a vaccine against Ebola. But when he is demoted to Level 3 for not complying with the specifics of his job and risking the agency, he takes the suggest leave of absence as well as a sample of what he believes is just a harmless Level 3 flu virus to right a few wrongs in his life.

Chet has a deep seated grudge against his father, Worth Hildebrant, an infamous Christian marriage speaker who violated his own ethics when he had several affairs and almost caused his own divorce. However with the grace of God, Worth is using his testimony alongside his wife to lead marriage seminars to help others strengthen their own marriages. Chet decides to unleash the flu at his father's upcoming marriage seminar in Denver and hopes his father will fall ill in the process as retribution for the wrong his has caused in Chet's life.

However when conference attendees begin to wind up in the ICU units of the local hospitals while Chet leaves for a week long European cruise, he suddenly looks at the vial sample he obtained and realized it was much, much worse than he could ever imagine. Now that same sample of virus has also find it's way onboard the International Space Station and with it runs the risk of infecting not only the inhabitants on Earth but also risking the lives of the members of the Space Station as well.

I received Dark Biology by Bonnie Duran compliments of Harborlight Books and Upon the Rock Publicity for my honest review. I received no monetary compensation for a favorable review and LOVED this one from the first moment I began reading it. Would LOVE to see this one make it to the big screen because it's truly filled with non stop action as Hildi runs into her own issues being launched into space with her former fiancee, Frank along as pilot while her future boyfriend mans the communications at Mission Control. I wanted to read this one right when I was asked and when it arrived, I literally inhaled it from start to finish in a couple of hours. Think of this as combining the movies Contagion with Apollo 13 and you have the idea behind the novel. I easily rate this one a 5 out of 5 stars. A definite must read for Science Fiction fans!!!

Maximal Reserve

What would you think if the information we have learned about in school on so called "Fossil Fuels" was all wrong?

What if it was more abundant that anyone ever thought and not only that but it was a renewable one?

How would that affect our world's economy and the power of those that have control over oil production now?

In the latest Christian, science fiction, suspense thriller, Maximal Reserve by Sam Batterman, uses those questions as a basis for the premise of his story. Axcess Energy is the newest up and coming company that promises that it will change the economy of the world through finding new sources for energy that would reduce our dependence on oil production.

Ripped from recent headlines, this vast and unknown oil reserve is located directly underneath Israel. If they could harness this, it would make them, the largest country to have oil over all and drastically change the way the world views Israel.

Philip Channing is hired by Dr. John Chambers to work for Axcess Energy as a geologist, to use the data they are uncovering beneath the mid-Atlantic ridge and find a way to tap into this source of oil and natural gas that lies deeper than anyone has ever known. It will be the ultimate job of a lifetime, until he discovers that people are willing to kill to keep this discovery unknown.

I received this book compliments of Bring It On Communications for my honest review and actually learned so much about the new theories about oil production and what really lies beneath the earth's surface and how far science may have gotten it wrong. I rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars and would highly recommend it considering just how close this book is, to becoming not just a fiction based one but a true story after the discovery made in Israel recently.

The Voice

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God, and the first words that God ever spoke was "Let there be light."

What would happen if people could have a way to use sound waves and vibrations from objects, the have been where God was, and develop a way to capture that on tape. They could then have the voice of God. Think of all the possibilities in life that you could benefit from if you had the same power as that of God's voice?

Not only could you speak things into creation, you could heal every type of sickness, illness, injury there ever was, you could even speak life back into people that died. You could also destroy them just as quickly.

Charlie Madison was hoping to find peace at some point in his life when he leaves the Special Forces after his wife and child were brutally murdered by assassins that wanted to take Charlie out for good. Now he finds himself thrust back into survival mode when his niece Jazmin, flees to him to rescue her. Her parents and others have discovered the voice print of God and it seems like people will do anything to make sure they are the ones to have control over it.

Charlie's Special Ops training will have to be used to find and rescue his sister and brother in law, and in the process find healing for the loss of life he feels personally responsible with his own family. Perhaps he can find a way to make amends.

I received the book, The Voice by Bill Myers, as a gift from my husband and as I am now beginning to discover on my third book from Bill Myers, he is one talented writer. The elements that he uses to take the reader along on the characters journey in the book, is action packed, fast paced and thrilling all at the same time. It's no wonder how quickly you are immersed into his stories, heart and soul, until the very last page. Bill Myers' books are not to be missed and if this one sounds like something you'd be interested in, you should check out his others. Like this book, they have all rated hands down, 5 out of 5 stars.
