That black hole is something else.
By Arthur Inverse

The Last Philosopher is a ride.
The story starts with a black hole named, wait for it. Di- I mean Richard. And as a black hole should be, he think's hes the absolute center of the universe, able to bring everything to him and underfoot.

Then we are brought to our chrotchity old headmaster of our school.
The story so far has been good with worldbuilding, pictures and maps in the story adding just the right amount of touch and immersion to help visualize wheer you are and what is going on within the chapters.

I found little to no errors in word choice, flow, and spelling. Solid all around.

(Left) The cover of Legacy of Newts, by Owen Tyme.

In the background dawn, as seen from space, above a blue world.

In the foreground is a line drawing of a red spotted newt, in white. The lines of the newt are outlined in black, to help it stand out. The interior of the line drawing has been filled with the image of a spiral galaxy in red, orange and yellow, with a blue color that shades to white at the center, which lines up with the newt's head. The galaxy almost looks like fire.

(Right) The background is a blue and orange nebula, with the following text over it:

“You gotta be real strong, real bright, real quick, or real lucky to survive drawing *attention*. Which are you?”

“I’m quick, Amelia is bright, Marta is strong and all three of us have been lucky, after a fashion: if we didn’t have bad luck, then I suppose we wouldn’t have any luck at all.”

We are on an alien planet. A psychedelic sun in the far distance catches our attention. Cities are aligned to the sunbeams, reaching far into the distance. Giant stone statues are worshipping the sun. On the left, they are holding planets with different colorations from blue to yellow. On the right, the statues have empty hands. Do they take turns with this precious responsibility? The clouds follow the sun, and stars shine brightly.

The black silhouette of a man and woman hugging and kissing. The woman has lifted one leg, while the man leans toward her. They stand atop the dark side of a planet or moon in space, which has a slim crescent along the right side. The background in the stars of space, but some have been highlighted with a heat shape that surrounds the kissing couple. Everything is in shades of blue.

(Right) Deep space, displaying the edge of an orange and blue gaseous cloud from a nebula, while most of the stars appear golden in color. Floating in space is a square, red leather book with the image of a newt stamped on the cover. Over the top of everything is the following text:

“You can back down and cooperate, right now, or Marta will hit you so hard, you should reach a tenth the speed of light…”

“No one will ever find you again, but even if someone does, there’s no way they’ll have the capacity to safely slow you down, before you’re gone to them!”

(Left) The cover of Troll Song, by Owen Tyme, Illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

There's a woman in mud spattered white, leather armor crossing a pair of short swords against the neck of a terrified, shirtless dwarf.

The woman has white hair and a darker skin tone on the left side of her face. Her left eye is green and her right eye is blue.

The dwarf's hair and beard are blond.

The background is a green forest, with some flowers among the tall grass.

(Right) Text over a background of a woman in a parka standing near the exit of an ice cave.

The text lists traits of the woman from the cover, including green check marks and red 'x' marks, to mark qualities she does and does not possess:

✓ Amazing reflexes
✓ Regeneration
✓ Telepathy
✓ Incredible persistence

x Loving sister
x Sanity
x Any measure of mercy
x Stoppable

Oh, dear…

Finished: The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey. Wow, that was a ride. I've posted before about having a hard time finding horror or thrillers that don't feel like their twists are predictable. This is a sci fi thriller that didn't suffer from that problem at all. The twists are very good. I really enjoyed it. It was my book club suggestion so I'm curious what folks will think when we meet next week! <a href="/tags/scifi/" rel="tag">#SciFi</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a> <a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/theechowife/" rel="tag">#TheEchoWife</a>

Ebook and paperback: <a href="https://books2read.com/TymeDarkMoon" rel="nofollow">https://books2read.com/TymeDarkMoon</a>On a world long thought to have no moon, its sudden appearance inspires wonder and terror. Hasty research links the full moon and catastrophe, revealing the existence of the so-called 'Harbingers of Doom', creatures from the moon that harvest souls. Can everyone survive or will they become part of the dark harvest?<a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/author/" rel="tag">#author</a> <a href="/tags/indieauthor/" rel="tag">#indieauthor</a> <a href="/tags/writing/" rel="tag">#writing</a> <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a> <a href="/tags/scifi/" rel="tag">#scifi</a> <a href="/tags/sciencefiction/" rel="tag">#sciencefiction</a> <a href="/tags/sff/" rel="tag">#sff</a> <a href="/tags/sciencefantasy/" rel="tag">#sciencefantasy</a> <a href="/tags/scifi/" rel="tag">#scifi</a> <a href="/tags/actionadventure/" rel="tag">#actionadventure</a> <a href="/tags/fiction/" rel="tag">#fiction</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a>

(Left) The cover of dark moon, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

In the foreground, a redheaded witch and a dark haired wizard fight back to back, holding some rather large pistols. The witch is in a black dress and the wizard is in a black robe with golden decorations. Both looked a bit purple, due to the lighting. The witch's hair blows on the wind and she wears a necklace of bone beads.

Behind them, there's dust, mist and fog lit by twilight as a moon rises, framing their heads. Objects that look like shooting stars fall from the moon and there's a few visible impacts.

(Right) A poem, in two parts, on a background of the stars of space, with a moon between the two parts:

Witch and wizard fight,
The wizard thinks he’s right.
The grudge match ends,
But not quite as friends.
Survive the night they must,
Lest all the world be dust.

Prophesy foretold in stone,
Of the moon no one had known.
‘Harbingers of Doom’ harvest souls,
For the sake of their own goals.
A kingdom dead and long past
Collecting that it might rise at last.

Between the two halves of the poem is Owen Tyme's publishing mark, the yin and yang symbol that has the dots of white and black replaced with hourglasses.

(Left) The cover of The Inverted Glass, by Owen Tyme.

The Background is a pink and purple nebula in space.

The foreground is largely line art, in white, with a black shadow outline.

At the center is an hourglass. The bottom has black sand, with a white figure standing in it. The top has is an inverted mirror image of the bottom, with a black figure in white sand.

The hourglass serves as the balance point for a set of scales, which hold a heart and a feather. The heart is on the left and the feather on the right. The heart is lower than the feather.

(Right Background) Lying in blue sand is a heart made of the same sand, full of cracks. It glows from the inside in a warm, yellow color.

(Right Foreground) She sacrificed her life,
To save everyone from strife.
Feather against the heart,
Not knowing does really smart.

The necromancer calls,
And it really galls.
Dead, but not forgotten,
She thinks the necromancer’s rotten.

Judgment day delayed,
So she could use her blade.
In agony of soul,
Good or evil is this troll?

I listened to the first season of Lost Terminal on my walk today. I’m really enjoying it. “A hard sci-fi hopepunk podcast following the journey of a little satellite trying to understand what has happened after Earth stops returning his calls.”Thanks to <a href="https://mastodon.green/@CiaraNi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@CiaraNi</a> for the recommendation. <a href="/tags/podcast/" rel="tag">#podcast</a> <a href="/tags/scifi/" rel="tag">#scifi</a><a href="https://lostterminal.com/" rel="nofollow">https://lostterminal.com/</a>
