#SciFi #Movie Review : Assasin

Movie Review, Science Fiction Movie / /

My memories of the drive-in are what inspires my love of hokey, cheesy movies. Youthful years spent sitting in the backseat of a car with my friends, our bare feet over the front seat, a paper grocery sack filled with candy and junk food, frosty sodas and beers in a cooler, and a movie we didn’t care about on the screen. The night was more about laughing, making ourselves sick on sugar, and talking.

The sillier the movie, the more fun we had. That’s why I still love watching that genre of movie. My husband is a good sport and often watches them with me. Basically, we watch them so you don’t have to. First up, Assassin!

1986, a made for TV movie, starring Robert Conrad. A retired agent from an Intelligence Agency is contacted by the Agency in order to stop an ultra-secret robot who is killing some government officials.

This movie was on the same disc as THE CRATER LAKE MONSTER. Its feel ala The Six Million Dollar Man caught our attention, so we watched.

Was it great? No, but we had fun watching it thinking of bionic people. The plot really lags for a bit before the big finale, but overall it was good-bad. Be on the look out for the creepy shoulder touch. What? Husband Unit is still laughing. You’ll have to watch.

I give this a ONE BEER rating. One is enough to have fun watching the ASSASSIN.

McCredie Hot Springs: Wonderful and Weird #Oregon #Explore

Oregon, Photography, Weird and Wonderful / /

State Highway 58 is one of my favorite roads to explore in Oregon. It has lots of big, old trees and splendid sights.  One of the gems is McCredie Hot Springs along Salt Creek.

There used to be a resort hotel there that became a baseball camp and then a bordello. It burned down in 1958, and there’s litte sign it was ever there. The hot springs are still there, however, the views are stunning.

If you decide to try the hot springs, they can be very hot, so be careful. And, clothing is optional.

Some truths are better left unfound.

A new enemy wants to destroy the galaxy. The Fo’wo’s want another war.

Annihilation is coming to the Backworlds, and Craze’s option to prevent the genocide of his people is a nightmare. The best chance for survival is to overcome a century of hate and forge an alliance with the Fo’wo’s. If he succeeds, Craze will be the most hated man in the galaxy.

#Scifi Worth Reading: The Truth of Valor #BookReview

Book Review, Science Fiction Books, Space Opera / /

I fell hard for Gunny Sergeant Torin Kerr in Valor’s Choice, the first book in Tanya Huff’s space opera series. Action-packed, unique and unpredictable with one kick-ass character is what caught my attention. I then devoured the next three books in the series: The Better Part of Valor, The Heart of Valor, and Valor’s Trial.

So when this book came out, The Truth of Valor, I was thrilled.

Huff threw us into a new aspect of Kerr’s life as she tries to adjust to being a former Marine. Kerr kicks ass as much as ever, and I hope the series will continue. I will certainly keep reading.

Although this novel did not surprise me as much as the previous books in The Confederation Novels, there was still a lot of action, and a lot of fun. The imagination is superb, and it’s an above-average read.

If you haven’t discovered the Confederation Novels yet, I envy you reading them for the first time. They rock.

This is definitely a series I recommend.

First draft of Endpoint, Backworlds Book 8 is Done! #scifi

New Release, Science Fiction Books, Space Opera / /

Getting the 8th book in the Backworlds series written was a long time in the creation tank.  It’s not done yet, but the first draft is done, and it feels great to finally say that.

There is a ton of editing to do, and I’m already hard at work at it. So far, this book is 205 single-spaced pages and 120,000 words. The trials with the Quassers come to a conclusion, and everyone has a part to play in the future of the Backworlds. It was a blast to write and I had a lot of balls in the air that needed to be woven in and make sense. And if you know my books, you know I like twists and turns and the nonconventional.

Although Endpoint is far from finished, it’s closer, and I am determined to release it later this year. So, stay tuned!
