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 by 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.

Spotlight on R.A.T.S: Revolutionary Army of Teens by Claudia Daherr


Debut sci-fi follows teens secretly using a virtual reality game to fight alien invasions and determine Earth’s fate

Aruba – Debut author Claudia Daher’s science fiction novel follows a diverse group of teenagers who are secretly training in an alternate reality video game, R.A.T.S, to prepare for water-stealing aliens attempting to infiltrate Earth. Spanning timelines from ancient Atlantis to a near-future world, “R.A.T.S: Revolutionary Army of Teens: We Are One” (Pegasus Publishing, September 28, 2025) explores climate catastrophe activism and the power of unity, love and respect in the face of global challenges.

In 2040, 15-year-old David discovers that he and his friends are Earth's final defense against extraterrestrial forces determined to steal Earth’s water. Through an alternate reality game, R.A.T.S, created by his grandfather HB, David and his allies undergo training and unite across the globe. As they prepare for an apocalyptic battle, they unravel hidden truths about the universe and their own destinies—while battling environmental collapse and a relentless alien invasion.

“R.A.T.S” explores themes of artificial intelligence, climate change, alien life, and global cultures as the characters quickly become part of a revolutionary movement to combat environmental disasters and uncover hidden truths about the world and beyond. Through their journey, they must navigate friendships, challenges, and the pursuit of knowledge while striving to make a difference.


“I wrote this book because I believe that, at its core, we are all very similar. We all have families, with their complexities and differences, but at the end of the day, we are all human, seeking love, understanding and belonging. Together we are stronger. We Are One!”

An Interview with Claudia Daher


When starting your creative process, why was it important to you that your novel featured characters from different religions and backgrounds?

From the very beginning, I wanted R.A.T.S: Revolutionary Army of Teens, We Are One to reflect the world we live in—a world filled with diverse cultures, beliefs, and experiences. By bringing together teenagers from different religions and backgrounds, I aimed to show that unity is possible despite our differences. The slogan We Are One is at the heart of the story, emphasizing that respect, understanding, and shared values can bridge divides. In a time when division is so prevalent, I believe young people have the power to create a movement that fosters true connection and change.

What do you believe young adult readers can learn from the book, and your tagline “We Are One”?


Young adult readers can learn that despite differences in culture, religion, and background, we share a common humanity and the ability to stand together for a better world. We Are One is more than just a tagline—it’s a call to embrace unity, respect, and empathy, showing that collaboration and understanding can overcome division. The book encourages young people to see strength in diversity and to work together toward positive change. In a time when society often highlights what separates us, this message is a reminder that true power lies in coming together.


For young adults, how does your book inspire a generational shift to disconnect from screens?


My book inspires young adults to disconnect from screens by showing the power of real-life connections, teamwork, and hands-on action. The characters in R.A.T.S: Revolutionary Army of Teens, We Are One don’t rely on technology to make a difference—they build relationships, solve problems, and take meaningful action in the real world. This encourages readers to step away from digital distractions and engage more with their surroundings, their families, and their communities. The story serves as a reminder that true change happens not behind a screen, but through personal effort and genuine human connection.


How does your clean book, free of negative influences, offer a fresh perspective on unity, love and respect?


I wrote R.A.T.S: Revolutionary Army of Teens, We Are One with a deep conviction that young people deserve stories that uplift, inspire, and empower them. In a world where so much media normalizes division, disrespect, and negativity, I wanted to create something different—something that reminds readers of the beauty of unity, love, and respect. My book proves that a powerful story doesn’t need violence, drugs, or harmful influences to be exciting and meaningful. Instead, it focuses on the strength found in friendship, the courage to stand up for what is right, and the belief that even the smallest act of kindness can change the world. I truly believe that if we nurture these values in the next generation, we can build a better future—together.


How does your book emphasize mankind’s deep connection with nature?


My book emphasizes humanity’s deep connection with nature by reminding readers that we are not separate from the world around us—we are part of it. The air we breathe, the water we drink and share with plants and animals, the earth that nourishes our food, and the vast sea that sustains life all connect us in an unbreakable cycle. Even our own bodies, made up of about 75% water, reflect this profound relationship with nature. Through the story, I encourage young readers to respect and protect our planet, recognizing that harming it is ultimately harming ourselves. Now, more than ever, we must take action to care for nature before it is too late—because our future depends on it.

Artificial Wisdom by Thomas R. Weaver





In a climate-warmed future, politics continue their negative downward spiral with the added spice of influencers gaining ludicrously more influence in daily affairs.  Tully is an “investigative journalist” who is driven by his wife’s death in a global warming catastrophe.   He prides himself on reporting the “truth”.   The world is going to a global warming hell, and Tully goes to see Martha, a long-ago friend. Martha resides on one of the few floating cities, commissioned by the uber wealthy, domed and climate-controlled.  There is a murder, and the plot thickens. 


An artilect, Solomon, is the governor of the floating cities.  Sentient and omnipotent, Solomon plays a huge role in both the plot and the ensuing, unannounced sequel.  


Technology isn’t so advanced in the story.  It is a logical extrapolation of current technology.  Sadly, the insidious and negative aspects of politics are also logically extrapolated, which provides serious depression in regards to our future. 


The book was well done, but a touch depressing due to its probability. 


I recommend it.

Spotlight on T.J. Derry's Debut Novel: Carried Away


Immersive, interactive thriller novel drops readers into the ocean as a tsunami hits and shows the harrowing fight for survival that follows




Worn down by the noise, the routine, and the creeping sense that something essential has slipped out of reach, Cole leaves New York for a remote chain of Indonesian islands, chasing silence, clarity, and a sense of meaning. Amidst the salt and heat, he reconnects with old friends, and finds an unexpected spark with someone who feels instantly familiar—and a little dangerous. But paradise has teeth. After a catastrophic tsunami, a violent fight for survival strips life to its barest terms. Cut off from the world, the group is tested in every way—physically, emotionally, spiritually—and Cole is forced into a rare kind of stillness: one that redefines what matters. 


More than your typical survival thriller, the novel is a visceral, sharply observed story about survival, connection, humility—and what’s quietly revealed when everything else falls away. In a unique twist, the book features QR codes at the end of each chapter, allowing readers to unlock bonus material on the book’s website.


A portion of the proceeds from book sales will be donated to Sungai Watch, an organization dedicated to reducing ocean pollution by cleaning up Indonesia’s rivers.

An Interview with

T.J. Derry


  1. Your day job is working in film and advertising. How did you find yourself writing “Carried Away”? What was your inspiration for the book?

As a film director, my job is ultimately to transfer meaning and feeling to an audience—to tell a story. I remember being in an airport, searching for something to read, and struggling to find anything I connected with. I’ve been fascinated by tsunamis my whole life, and it struck me, as I stood there, that maybe what I was looking for didn’t exist yet. I started outlining the story soon after, and during a cab ride in Nicaragua—while the driver was literally nodding off—I wrote the paragraph that now opens chapter two. From there, I was hooked. I spent my free time between film projects chipping away at the book until the story took on a life of its own.


  1. Tell us about Cole. How is he feeling at the beginning of the novel? How does he transform after the unimaginable happens?

Cole’s watching his life slip by, trading his most valuable commodity—time—for a desk in a sterile office, far from anything that feels important or exciting. He’s restless, disillusioned, and quietly questioning whether this is really what he’s meant to do with the short time he has on earth. When he arrives in Indonesia, things click and he feels the presence and connection he’s been longing for. 

When the wave hits, it throws him into a fight for survival. In the chaos, he comes to see the paradox: safety, stability, and simply being alive are their own kind of gift—but they’re not the whole story. By the end, he understands that fulfillment is far more complicated, and it demands more than just avoiding danger or staying safe. It’s about engaging with life fully, even when it’s uncertain or uncomfortable.


  1. Do you relate to Cole’s character? When you feel numb and worn down by life’s routine, what do you do to feel grounded again?

I think a large cohort of the population can relate well to that feeling of meaninglessness, or that question of whether you’re wasting the life you’ve been given. I feel it constantly and meditate on whether I’m making full use of the gift of existence on this beautiful planet. In my life, engaging with nature (surf trips, freediving, travel, meeting strange new environments and people, engaging with the unknown and seeing how much there is to this life grounds me. That contrast really makes me feel grateful for even the banality of modern living for a time before I know it’s time to get back to nature.  


  1. Tell us about the QR codes that are at the end of each chapter. Why did you choose to include them? What will they reveal?

I felt strongly that this novel needed a visual side. It’s meant to be an immersive read—the kind of book that takes you away and really puts you in Cole’s shoes—so not having an extra conduit to pull the reader in felt like a missed opportunity. So I began seeking out a solution to satisfy the need for something more captivating. Cole’s journal seemed like a unique, but somewhat obvious choice… it gives readers a chance to experience the story from a unique vantage point—to step deeper into his perspective and actually see some of what he’s seeing, thinking and feeling.


  1. Tell us about Sungai Watch. What does their organization do? Why do you want to raise awareness for their cause?

Sungai Watch is an incredible organization I first discovered through social media. They’re tackling the ocean plastic crisis at its source—by cleaning rivers, one at a time, before the waste reaches the sea. Since my story is set near where they operate, and it’s so deeply connected to the ocean and the natural world, supporting their mission felt like a natural fit.

Their founder, Gary, is a bit of a cowboy in the best way—he saw the problem and didn’t wait for permission, he just got to work. That kind of initiative and action is exactly what the world needs more of, and it’s something worth supporting and raising awareness for.


  1. This isn’t your typical adventure novel. There’s plenty of substance and heart to it. Yet it’s still a thrilling, engaging and cinematic read. What do you hope readers will ultimately take away from the book?

My hope is that no matter where you’ve been, what you’ve experienced, or who you are, you’ll be taken along for the ride of a lifetime. For the person stuck in a 9–5 office grind, it’s a chance to step out of routine and into something truly remarkable—and with any luck, it’ll ignite something primal.

The story begins in a kind of paradise—love, adventure, excitement, joy—before the wave hits, and then, suddenly you’re thrown into the gates of hell, fighting to survive. My ultimate hope is that readers come away with a renewed appreciation for the fragile beauty of life, and a reminder that the highs mean more because the lows exist.

A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett


Signum Dinios Kol is an Iudex of the Special Division, which means he is an Imperial Investigator. He works with Ana Dolabra, who may or may not be a “normal” human. Ana’s senses are so fine-tuned that she usually goes blindfolded to decrease her sensory input. The two are in Yarrow a backward kingdom that hosts the Shroud, a refinery for Titan’s regents.

All that sounds so convoluted, but it is simply a murder investigation set in a kingdom that abuts the Empire. The Empire is based on a biological industry as opposed to a mechanical industry. Din had perfect recall as he is an Engraver. His genetics have been manipulated to imprint information with the stimulus of a variety of regents.

Din works with Malo, an Imperial Warden, to discover who has been murdered and why. There is plenty of action and confusion. There are conflicting antagonists taking aim at our stalwart investigators.

Din discovers many things about himself, his superior, his associate Malo and the criminals.

It is an entertaining but often confusing book.

Sub-Majer’s Challenge by L.E. Modesitt, Jr.



Once again, Alyiakal, succeeds when carefully maneuvered into situations that are designed to see that he fails.   An ethics-driven officer in a country led by a consortium of unethical leaders, Alyiakal’s successes are startling to all of his foes and accepted as normal by his consort, Saelora.

In a male-dominated society where misogyny is accepted as normal, Alyiakal, supports Saelora in her decidedly non-feminine pursuits in trade.  This support leads to a bond that transcends normality, especially when Saelora and Alyiakal discover secrets from Alyiakal’s past.

Modesitt crafts a detailed and believable world in all his series.  The Saga of Recluce comprises twenty-five volumes, spanning from 1991 to the present.  It is well worth your time to read all of Modesitt’s work.

I highly recommend this book.

Elizabeth Moon is back with the fourth adventure in her bestselling fantasy epic. Moon brilliantly weaves a colorful tapestry of action, betrayal, love, and magic set in a richly imagined world that stands alongside those of such fantasy masters as George R. R. Martin and Robin Hobb.
 
The unthinkable has occurred in the kingdom of Lyonya. The queen of the Elves—known as the Lady—is dead, murdered by former elves twisted by dark powers. Now the Lady’s half-elven grandson must heal the mistrust between elf and human before their enemies strike again. Yet as he struggles to make ready for an attack, an even greater threat looms across the Eight Kingdoms.
 
Throughout the north, magic is reappearing after centuries of absence, emerging without warning in family after family—rich and poor alike. In some areas, the religious strictures against magery remain in place, and fanatical followers are stamping out magery by killing whoever displays the merest sign of it—even children. And as unrest spreads, one very determined traitor works to undo any effort at peace—no matter how many lives it costs. With the future hanging in the balance, it is only the dedication of a few resolute heroes who can turn the tides . . . if they can survive.

I will admit it, I am a fan of this series.  In fact, I haven't read an Elizabeth Moon book I haven't truly enjoyed.  She keeps you alert and awake as you read.   This third book in the series leaves you hanging on the cliff.  The beauty of reading a series that is this old is that you don't have to wait years for the results of the cliff hanger.  You just buy the entire series and can sate your fantasy appetite in one beautiful orgy of consumption.  The books are that good. 

The action continues fast and furious in this third installment of Elizabeth Moon’s celebrated return to the fantasy world of the paladin Paksenarrion Dorthansdotter. This award-winning author has firsthand military experience and an imagination that knows no bounds. Combine those qualities with an ability to craft flesh-and-blood characters, and the result is the kind of speculative fiction that engages both heart and mind.

All is not well in the Eight Kingdoms. In Lyonya, King Kieri is about to celebrate marriage to his beloved, the half-elf Arian. But uncanny whispers from the spirits of his ancestors continue to warn of treachery and murder. A finger of suspicion has been pointed toward his grandmother, the queen of the Ladysforest elves, and that suspicion has only intensified with time and the Lady’s inexplicable behavior. Clearly, she is hiding something. But what? And why?

Meanwhile, in Tsaia, the young king Mikeli must grapple with unrest among his own nobility over his controversial decision to grant the title and estates of a traitorous magelord to a Verrakaien who not only possesses the forbidden magic but is a woman besides: Dorrin, once one of Kieri’s most trusted captains. When renegade Verrakaien attack two of Dorrin’s squires, suspicion and prejudice combine to place Dorrin’s life at risk—and the king’s claim to the throne in peril.

But even greater danger is looming. The wild offspring of a dragon are on the loose, sowing death and destruction and upsetting the ancient balance of power between dragonkind, humans, elves, and gnomes. A collision seems inevitable. Yet when it comes, it will be utterly unexpected—and all the more devastating for it.

The Warbler by Sarah Beth Durst

The Warbler by Sarah Beth Durst

The core tale is the story of a cursed family driven to travel. It diverts some from the original curse, but that is the core. I found the flashback viewpoints somewhat confusing. I got used to them, but initially, I was annoyed.  I think the main protagonist’s name is Elisa, but with all the name changes, I’m not sure.

Durst always does a good job on character development.  She creates real , and believable personalities for the characters. The story was interesting and got mor so as it wrapped up.   Little hints along the way led to the big ending revile. 

I enjoyed the book and recommend it.

The Price of Freedom by Michael C. Bland

The Price of Freedom by Michael C. Bland

I started this trilogy in 2020. In my opinion, this current book didn’t have enough of a backstory.  Admittedly, I prefer to wait until an entire trilogy is out and then read them all in order.  With that said, a high-tech hijack of the United States is occurring.  Dray, his family and friends are out to stop the coup.

The author does a good job of extrapolating the future of hologram, nanotechnology, and robotics.   Sadly, he shows that ethics don’t evolve at the same pace as technology.  

This book has a wealth of action and a modicum of sorrow and portrays a potential future dominated by the wealthy.   In some ways, it is a concerning mirror to current events but since it takes several years for Bland to get a book out, I doubt that it intends to portray current events.

I enjoyed the book.

The plot centers around a long-lost princess returning to her kingdom.  Alex is a street urchin whisked away from the Holy City of Carthage to Troy where she is to be installed as the Empress.   The trip is fraught with peril.

Alex’s entourage is comprised of a werewolf, an undying warrior, a vampire, a jack-of-all-trades, and a necromancer.  The entourage is a special task force of the Church of the Circle, and they are tasked by the Pope to see Alex is crowned.

This is a superb quest tale with tons of action, perfidy, treachery, and vast disappointment.
