Akela by Ben Goodrich sample Review

I know the description sounds fairly strange but so are the current circumstances with this book. But I’ll try and explain. I picked up this sample from Goal Publications when they were at MFF 2021. I really didn’t know what I was getting I originally thought it was a short story of some kind, after all it’s only has 12 pages. Until I actually read it.

But since Goal Publications are going out of business, so where does that leave the author on Amazon of course and the percentage they take out.

The Review:

The plot says anthros have always been there, but in hiding until something happens and they meet.

The 9 pages of actual story is truly interesting, are they here or just am I imagining things. Seeing something out of the corner of your eye and unsure if it is real? It’s extremely well written and in my opinion it’s worth getting a copy. So where

The Sprawl Review

I picked up The Sprawl while looking for material to post reviews later from MFF. I want to say I knew nothing about it, and maybe your the same. But what I found WOW!!!!

The Sprawl is:

Sci-fi/horror meets dark fantasy on a dead world.  Its only inhabitants are the descendants of an ill-fated colonization mission.

Now, the descendents live huddled together in an ever-growing mega-city known as The Sprawl.

After a survey expedition disappears at the south pole, a search and rescue mission is dispatched.  Tasked with discovering the fate of the expedition what they uncover could unleash unfathomable horrors upon all those who inhabit The Sprawl.

The Sprawl is rated Mature. It contains scenes of violence, horror and nudity.

But what I found was the most intense and action packed tale that I hadn’t seen the likes of since and I am not joking Spawn. Not only is it very well written, but the one I picked up should be called a graphic novel, and not just a comic.

As the description above says it is mature, and I promise if you love intense action give The Sprawl a chance. You will not be disappointed.

1-3 of the comics are available as a collection and they do have a volume 4

The World’s Worst Apocalyptic Romance in the Galaxyby Van Millvele Bad 72 Book 1 Review by Ahmar Wolf

Bliss is your standard spacefaring world, a society that is just advanced enough where robots and other intelligent machines are apart of their daily lives. Everyone is at peace, you could even grab a pizza from a nearby restaurant driven you there by a super smart car. Who might have a conversation with you on your journey. Otherwise all is well.

Until something went wrong and all these intelligent machines went on the rampage. They include creepies, jester robots, zombies and happy evil pets so no one is having a good time.

Except for Betty, she is a host from a TV show who came to Bliss to basically takeover the world (insert evil laugh here). Armed with her apocolyptic computer virus.

What Van Millvele have given us is a light hearted look at an apocalypse. Where the Evil Betty plans to make the planet Bliss her own laughable, which starts when she kills her partner Raymond. Who is kept alive for short period of time being loaded to one computer for a few hours before it burns out then being loaded to another and so on. Her partner the Evil King Valor even has his own plans. Meanwhile Betty’s own servants hate her so no one is entirely loyal.

Meanwhile 2 members of her former crew Allen and Delkcoda have enough evidence to put Betty away for life. But like everyone else they want to get off of Bliss.

The story goes in to a lot of backstory of each of the characters and we learn what makes their decisions. Which is rare in a lot of books, especially when for the most part all of the main characters are connected in often surprising ways.

Like the zombies in this tale, who really aren’t zombies. It’s more like someone with a plant based infection which slowly kills them as they hunt for sugar. Oh sure they do go for the standard brains, but they rather have the sugar.

So as you see nothing is like any other Apocalyptic tale you might have seen. Meanwhile Allen and Delkcoda fall in love as they fight off enemies.

Finally the other galactic governments take notice and send help. This is when Col Ghoul Flint enters the story, despite his name is a good guy who wants to help everyone escape the planet Bliss. But also put those behind this in prison for life if not longer.

As everyone starts to leave, evidence is gathered. I really have to give it to the author for including themselves in this tale which can include furries and dragons. Not in person but a quote or even forwarding evidence to the right party.

As plans are finally made for the evil doers arrest. We learn why the backstories were important. It seems Allen and Delkcoda can’t be together…at least not at first. Do to Delkcoda’s family. Who in my opinion could easily be a guest on The Jerry Springer Show. They are that messed up.

Until Col. Ghoul Flint enters the picture and routes out a little corruption at the prison planet – Pit Island is where Allen is now employed. Also making arrangements for Delkcoda can join their true love and get married.

Then it hits you, this is also a love story.

Still one of the most interesting stories I ever read, and you actually understand the motivation of these characters.

I know a lot of people say “I want to read, something different”. This story is and it has enough staying power to hold you through the entire story. I found whenever I got busy doing something, somewhere in the back of my mind. I wondered what happened to this character or that.

I found the ending very satisfying.

I, The Tribunal by PC Hatter Book Review

I know this sounds strange but I have never read any books by Stacy Bender the book’s author before. I promoted their work like I would any furry author. But now I have a new appreciation for their work after reading I, The Tribunal.

It’s the first of the Kaiser Wrench stories, who is a private detective who lives by his own rules. Set in a time long before technology has all but taken over solving crime. This book delivers on a great story which begins with the murder of Kaiser Wrench good friend. We get to meet great characters, each with their own interesting backgrounds, hell the whole world the author sets for us is great. Dirty, crooked, and best of all you are unsure who actually wants this murder as well as others actually solved.

I will admit I am a Mystery Snob, I hate short cut endings, plan ridiculous set ups and hell knowing who dunnit right from the very start. But we don’t get that as suspicions go from one character to another all for legit reasons. But when the murderer is revealed, it took me by surprise. If I told you the number of mysteries I have heard, seen or read you simply would not believe it.

I, The Tribunal is a great book and can be found on Amazon

Furry Book Review: Dangerous Thoughts by James L. Steele

Review of Furry Galaxy 75: The Dragonfly Probes by Van Hill Millvele

Furry Galaxy 75: The Dragonfly Probes is a follow up to Furry Galaxy 75: Pandora’s Box and features many of the same characters. The story starts out when the characters use Dragonfly Probes to explore decaying Timelines, and other dimensions etc. I found the entire book very interesting on how the author included a lot of loose ends from the first book and a lot of what if’s. It was the aspect of time travel. In telling these little stories, where your are not quite sure what is going to happen next. I found Furry Galaxy 75: The Dragonfly Probes both interesting and enjoyable.

Although Furry Galaxy 75: The Dragonfly Probes is a book that stands upon it’s own. I swear I would have enjoyed it so much if I didn’t read Furry Galaxy 75: Pandora’s Box first.

Essentially a SFW book, even an adult will enjoy this book. Although I would have liked to get into the basic plot that runs through the entire book. There is just too much to tell, and fear it will ruin the book for some. All I will say is that you like to see characters in a book get into mess, not always of their making, and how they get out of it.

This is the book for you.
