Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Star Nomad:Fallen Empire, Book 1 by Lindsay Buroker


For those of you who read my reviews, you are already aware that I really like butt kicking female protagonists.   If you haven’t read my reviews (or any of my Charlotte series picture books) then take note, I really like strong female protagonists.   I am mystified as to the number of closet misogynists who are unable to understand that strong female characters are essential in helping young women to reach their potential.  Or, maybe they are aware and are terrified of the result.  Digression is part of my nature, while a teacher some of the best class reactions came from going down an unexpected path and discovering new and wondrous things.  However this book is about a down and almost out fighter pilot after an interstellar war.   Her goal is to retrieve her daughter but she needs a star ship to get there.   Along the way she gathers a motley mixed crew and faces dire circumstances.

Buroker has an easy to read style that draws you into the story.   She provides a hard core fighter pilot with a crusty shell who has a strongly developed conscience and a reluctantly open mind.   The quirky support cast provides both humor and depth to the story.   Beck is the first armored warrior I’ve encounters who is also a grill master.

This story has plenty of action, some good role models and provides good old fashioned entertainment. 

I recommend it.






This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
