The Leviathan Chronicles: The Last Stand at Aeprion
By James
Mascia
Genre: Sci-fi
Synopsis:
Still
reeling from his wife's murder, Joel tries to escape the alien hunter and
fulfill a promise he made to her. Years of searching for the fabled planet,
Aeprion, has left the space freighter captain torn between giving up the search
or giving himself up to Kraxem, the alien hunter.
When Kraxem and his minions attack Joel's ship again, he is forced into the nebula, where he'll have to do repairs. Once there, his thoughts revert back to the final day of Kate's life and the promises that were made. Learning to come to terms with her loss and release the guilt that he feels will be a hard battle to fight, but giving up will prove to be even more difficult and, perhaps, deadly.
Steeling his resolve to forge on, Joel vows to find the fabled living planet before guilt devours his soul.
REVIEW
James Mascia has recaptured the pulp fiction of the 1930s, the era of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. It is corny, fast-moving, incredibly funny, and, improbably possible. It is a short, marvelous romp through space, time, humor, and the imagination. Highly recommended.
Mr. Mascia sent me a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
