REVIEWS
Nolcha Fox -
I had some extra time, so I read The Chosen Drone. Here's my review:
The Chosen Drone is a fast-paced, international thriller/fantasy. David, a young man, must not only deal with finding a career and love, but he must also solve the mystery of the case he inherited. I read it in one sitting, and definitely give it five stars!
The Chosen Drone is a story about a young man who unwittingly gets chosen to be the bearer of a case that has mystical powers and connections to a bygone world.
I found this to be fascinating. I would like to get more of this author’s books. Interesting storyline and well-thought-through characters.

The Second Book In The Chosen Drone Series
Carlos Beltowers
Carlos Beltowers must get the Case at all costs. It didn't matter to him who he used or stepped on to get it.
The Triads were involved and so was the Roman Catholic Church, but none of them counted on The Sons of the East to have the interest, influence, and finance, to be a player in this game of possession
END OF A NEW BEGINNING - EOIN MCDONALD
End of a New Beginning
War blossomed around every corner of Europe at the beginning of the 1900s.
It was a time of Mystics and Mysticism.
Alexander Drummond arrived in Russel, New Zealand, with his parents; from Dumfries in Scotland. Russel at that time was the Capital City; a raggle-taggle of a place filled with hopefuls, the lost, and the leftovers. In 1896 Alex was 8 years old and orphaned, his mother had died and his father was the victim of Blackbirding.
In 1914 the Great War broke out. The war to end all wars. Alex enlisted in the Navy as a Seaman and soon moved up the ranks to become an officer. It was during this time he took possession of the Case.
Johann Holzel was connected to the administrative side of the Holy See. He was also tied in with the Great Lodge. Holzel knew of the existence of the Case and the origins of its contents. The Roman Catholic Church wanted it back
After the war, Alex met Agnes (his foster parent's caregiver), and they married and had one child. Katy was adventurous and found her husband on a trip to New York.
Alex meet his grandson David Chen when he was in his nineties. At that time he passed the Case on to him. David accepted it as an heirloom of his family and treasured it

About Author: EOIN MCDONALD
I am an adventurer. I have always been an adventurer as long as I can remember. Always going around the corner to see what is there. Life has taught me to be cautious of leaping over the fence to see if the grass is better. So I have learnt many precautionary tricks, like check out the surroundings before going head first into any situation.
Anything can be an adventure. Looking into a nearby forest or taking a trip into a Country you have never experienced before. I have been fortunate to have gone to many places and lived there for a short time and been able to search out the makings of their society while taking in the sights, sounds, food and culture. It has been fun and given rise to my love of writing.
Since I was a child I have loved to write stories. My imagination is like that. The teacher may not of appreciated this, he only commented on my grammar but I took great pleasure in telling my tales. Sort of an innermost satisfaction.
I hope I can convey to you my love for telling stories, just like I did for my children when they were growing up

The Final Position - Eoin McDonald
Sci-Fi Adventure - AUDIOBOOK
Surfieron is an inhabitable planet in the W26 area of space. It was discovered back in 2017, and it was shown to have signs of liquid water. When the first explorers arrived they found other groups of humanoid species living there. Some were primitive others had technological advancements. Soon settlers arrived with high ideals. They were Onewayers. Since then a thriving community has evolved with people coming from all over the Earth; as Earth disintegrated under meteor showers, the division and dissension of society, and plagues.
Five generations later have we learned anything?
Henriek descended from the great Teratama, the founder and Chief Herdsman of the Suotsuy nation. He knew little about his heritage, because his mother had assimilated into the Celtonic society, and as far he was aware he never knew his father. Growing up wasn't easy in an evolving society.
Thomas Tutanakye took control of the developing country of Gambolina by stealth. He was ambitious and desired to rule supremely. Piece by piece, and bit by bit he shaped the proletariat into a submissive force. That wasn't enough for him, he wanted to be a Divine ruler.
His wife, Jocelin had her own agenda. Bored of a husband who was only interested in his own ego-driven ambition, she slipped into a disposition of satisfying her own desires.

Terrific Read
Aroha's Cowboy is a wonderful read. The author manages to pull the reader into the story right from the start. It’s a love story but more than that, it is a story about human frailties and heartbreak. The Protagonist, Peter, is a complex but vulnerable character. The reader is taken on a journey from the United States to New Zealand, to “Down Under” and eventually returning to the United States. The author’s description is fantastic, you feel like you are there experiencing it all, just like Peter. The pace of the narrative is quick and holds the reader’s interest from beginning to end.

Dan Davidson - R. Marcano
https://www.amazon.com/Soul-Jubie-Walker-D-Davidson-ebook/dp/B09CFVJPV4/?fbclid=IwAR3TFYBBALlbcKTepy
Jubie Walker is not a normal fifteen-year-old-boy. He loves to read about history, listen to big-band music, and doesn't seem to connect with any of his classmates. He also has the strange dreams…
Though he fights to stay awake, Jubie finds himself nearly nightly in a place filled with shadows and unexplained wonders. It's somehow 1942, and American soldiers are fighting the Japanese in World War II. Someone, or something, has attached itself to the very soul of Jubie Walker.
While Jubie struggles with the haunting of the soldier's ghost, he must ask himself: Is there such thing as transferal of a soul? Perhaps life is a never-ending saga with one soul and many bodies, bringing repressed memories to the surface when déjà vu comes around.
One thing is certain. The soldier—and Jubie himself—will seek eternal peace until it is found.

RETURN TO SILVERHILLS
Sandra Cox
The Wades’ saga continues as Alex and Brandon return to Silverhills, bringing Alex’s friend Lisa with them.
They arrive home just as Jeff Wade, Brandon’s younger brother, is about to head a trail drive across the Chisholm Trail. But there’s a problem, the cattle drive cook has a broken arm.
A week later, Lisa sets out on the drive as the camp cook along with the Silverhills’ cowpunchers and a thousand head of longhorn. Trail drives are always dangerous, but this one has more than its share of perils. Snowstorms, flashfloods, hot lead and rustlers are just a few of the dangers they encounter.
And if that’s not enough for the trail boss to be dealing with, he can’t ignore the white-hot attraction he feels for the petite, lovely blonde who drives the chuckwagon like a seasoned camp cook. Jeff is very much afraid that falling in love could prove more fatal than the bullets flying along the Chisholm Trail.
