Ways of Worship: Ares
Ares is the God of war, courage, strength, and male virility who is often described as the physical, violent, untamed aspect of war. In a more modern twist to his legend Ares is seen as the God of fighting and war against everything, not just physical violence but also ones fight with their inner demons, mental illnesses, and social issues. He is also seen to be one of the Gods who helps and guards veterans and soldiers during and after war. He is one of the Twelve Olympians and son of Hera and Zeus. He's not married but instead, he's the lover of Aphrodite. This casts him in a bit of a negative light as Aphrodite is married to Hephaestus, the God of fire, metalworking, sculpting, forges, and stone masonry. His Roman for is Mars.

'The Expanse' (Novels) 1
I want to begin by saying that I stumbled across this series at a local bookstore that I patron. A wonderful store that sells new/used material at half the cost of a mainstream bookstore. The humorous part about the way that this series fell into my lap is worth noting. As my mother and I were shopping in this bookstore, I was looking for something light, adventurous, and attention holding. My attention to detail skills were lacking at that moment and I mistakenly picked up the fourth book in the series (Cibola Burn), and I completely missed the big, number "4" printed on the spine. Now that I have embarrassed myself, let me get into the first book that I finished late last year, Leviathan Wakes. I will also finish with a small comparison to the television series that the SyFy network ran for three seasons. Finally, I would just like to note that this book burned the eyeballs out of my head for a hundred pages or more at a time. This series has grasped my imagination with it's logic, growth, and well-written empathy that you feel for the characters. After having read Book 4 by mistake, I went onto Amazon and purchased all of the books in the series. I hope that you enjoy this review, now let's get started...

'Doctor Who: The First Doctor Adventures Volume 2' Review
The end of 2017 saw the release of the first volume of The First Doctor Adventures, a set that reunited the members of the case who played the original TARDIS crew in the docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time. Perhaps aided by David Bradley having also just played the First Doctor on television via the Christmas special "Twice Upon A Time," the set was well-received. So it was no surprise that a second set soon followed in its footsteps, recorded at roughly the same time. How would this second set work out as it tried, once more, to recreate the feel of those ambitious early years of Doctor Who?
