Book Review: Blunt Force Rising by Russ Colchamiro
Angela Hardwicke is Eternity’s most daring private eye... Still reeling from a brutal off-world case, Hardwicke and her protégé Eric Whistler are hired by Ther’eda Ranadyne, the realm’s sole creator of androids, to provide extra security during an industry conference aboard a galaxy cruise ship. Isolated millions of miles from home, the event quickly devolves into heated arguments between the pro-android community and its detractors, while a murder sets off a harrowing chain of events, the likes of which even Hardwicke has never faced. In Blunt Force Rising , the claustrophobic fourth novel in Russ Colchamiro’s Angela Hardwicke sci-fi mystery series, she is not only forced to confront unresolved waves of prejudice, bigotry, fear, and trauma... but fight for her very life.

Introduction: "It Ends with Us" by Colleen Hoover is a gripping and emotionally charged novel that delves deep into the complex issue of domestic violence. Initially, the portrayal of domestic violence in the story left me deeply unhappy, as it exposed the harsh reality of abusive relationships. However, as I followed the journey of Lily Bloom, the resilient main character, I found myself increasingly satisfied with the choices she made and the way the author tackled this sensitive topic.

A Sci-Fi Short Story: The Andromene Empire
The skies were dark. It was a bad omen. The year is 2198. Planet Earth is dying and so is the human race. We don't have much time. Sadly, for many, this will be their last day on earth. The lucky ones will seek refuge in the stars and the unlucky ones will die. I was one of the lucky few who made it aboard the spaceships flying out of plant Earth today. Well luck and my skills as a pilot. I was recruited and trained by the Space Force. I was trained to fight off or flee from a potential alien attack. It was arrogant for humans to think that we were alone in this vast expanse of space. We suffered gravely from this arrogance and it wasn't until the year 2148 that we realized We weren't alone. We made first contact with an alien empire called the Andromene Empire. They came in “peace.”
