"SCIENCE FICTION NYT BEST SELLER: WILL HUMANKIND SURVIVE THIS ALIEN INVASION? 

Battlefield Earth is a science fiction saga of adventure, daring and courage, when man is an endangered species and the future survival of what's left of the human race is at stake.

In the year 3000 AD, man has been savagely ruled for a thousand years by evil aliens:nine-foot high, gas-breathing monters from the planet Psychlo.

One of the Psychlos, the villainous Terl, enslaves a man-creature and forces him to mine Earth gold. Terl’s plan: to teleport the gold to Psychlo, where he can then return wealthy and powerful. 

From this dystopian landscape, a slave emerges —Jonnie Goodboy Tyler. As a member of the dwindling community of only 35,000 human survivors, Jonnie has plans to free mankind from alien tyranny—and cause the ultimate destruction of the Psychlo empire. 

Is Jonnie’s fight to save humanity from these gigantic and technologically superior monsters a losing battle? Or will humans regain the Earth once more?

This 21st Century Edition features: 
• 50 page of the author’s never-before-published handwritten notes.

NippyLid Review and Giveaway!

Earlier this week I received a bottle and an accessory that would be great for new parents.

There is a little strap that holds the lid so it does not get lost and protects the nipple from getting dirty. The strap is very secure, but I did have a problem with it getting dirty when Madison put it on the ground. However, I would rather have the part that does not go into the baby's mouth get something on it.

Additionally, NippyLids is going to be giving away two NippyLid Bottles to readers! If you are interested in being added please comment on this post! I will choose two winners at random (sorry, family is not eligible).

*Winners will be chosen on December 20th!

If you are interested in having one of your own but cannot wait, you can find one here: NippyLid

Book Review: "The Watchers: Knight of Light" by Dierdra Eden

I started reading The Watchers: Knight of Light immediately after I received the free download (I received an ebook) and finished it in one sitting.

Auriella, the main character, is accused of being a witchcraft after saving some children from a fire and has to flee before she can be put on "trial" for being a witch. She escapes and finds herself in the clutches of Hazella who treats her like a slave. Auriella plans an escape with the help of her sidekicks Ruburt and Cassi, who help her discover her true power.

I liked how Dierdra Eden caught my attention immediately with her fiery descriptions, but I felt as if some of the background story needed to be elaborated on and more detail was needed in key parts. Towards the end of the book, key plot points are just glossed over with minimal information.

The characters are fairly static and Auriella consistently doubts herself despite it being obvious to the reader that there is more to her than the characters realize. It is written from her point of view which, as expected, offers insight into her character, but she still comes across as an underdeveloped character.

Despite its shortcomings, I feel as if Dierdra Eden had the potential for a fantastic story that just fell short. However, I believe this story would be better appreciated by a younger age group. I rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

If this sounds interesting to you, the book can be found here: The Watchers: Knight of Light or here: The Watchers: Knight of Light on Smashwords. Please stay tuned for a giveaway courtesy of Netherfield Publishing!
