Good Adventure Books Pt.2

 The Stand "Brilliant mind bending adv."

Gem that i read lil bit @late 90's & the rest 6002 (2002) when moved to new city for first time. Got to know by mini-series in -96. It aired 2y earlier & the one i watched at friend's home was uncut. My fav characters are 'Trash Can Man' who's weird, but interesting to follow & Randall Flagg. Randall bit less cause of his more awkward attitude. Though still enjoy Randall's chapters, filled with anger & evil plans to take down all good. 1st part "The Plague" which explains the coming of the terrible disease & its developments is one of my favs.

'The Stand' has lot of commentary that are about tech, society, group-thoughts, individuality & choice. Also faith & of course the big subject good vs evil that's always present among human species. I've read few SK books after started my reading adventures in mid -90's. There's a remake of telly mini-series. It's available on Amazon Prime Video & HBO Max streaming libraries. I really liked the first one mentioned above & remake not bad either. It deserves higher rating on imdb. Good journey to everyone who dives into 'The Stand' book. Not sure if that link opens to others without probs. cause it has 'smile' at front. It's used for supporting charity target of your choosing. I use different target at both Amazon co uk & Amazon de.

The King's Witch (Pt.1 of The King's Witch Trilogy)

I bought this as ebook on earlier this year's spring. Gonna buy second & third on next month. I'm close to midway & like for what have read so far. Has storytelling that keeps me wanting for more. Since mid july have had some relaxing late evenings spent with warm Peppermint Tea Cuppa & this Book. About main character & other things i know so far: This story takes place as King James comes from Scotland at time of Queen Elizabeth's death. It takes you through Witch Hunt on this land & Lord Cecil's Evil plot to try & show that Frances is a Witch. Frances had been giving ailmments to Elizabeth on her deathbed, using her herbs to give the queen some final comfort, when she is delivered an ominous warning - her queen's successor - James, isn't fond of Witches. Through cunning, intelligence & sharp bravery Frances manages to navigate life at court through the most dangerous of times.

The characters are so well written that i even wanted to teach manners to couple, yeah for real. Frances is a woman who practices herbalism & cause of that through history she'd be labeled as a Witch. It was totally stupid & clearly another way for men to control women on those times. I could rant about this subject, but won't go to it now. Her guardian deity did the work as the Queen steps in & protects her, but not before some damage is done. With all this going Frances experiences good & bad sides of romantically loving other person. True to the time period, Tracy brings the story & lives of King James & his court to vibrant life.

If you love history from this era that's set about four hundred years into past then this is a book for you. History is on top three of my fav subjects since early high school. I enjoyed learning more about this time period. Tracy is accurate when comes to history set into those years. I aim to finish this book & chapter for Frances in next couple weeks & launch journey to continuation on some day next month. Good evening read that i recommend.

Good Adventure Books Pt.1

Assassin’s Apprentice: The Farseer Trilogy, Book 1

Fresh dive to this on early march this year. Was really good find for sure. Less than ten € EBook purchase with no regrets & happy to support. Would've paid it even if had got discount as of being Prime Subber for about three years. This frst book of the series is part of 'Farseer Trilogy' & launches engaging adv. in a medieval world where most of Hobb's books are set. In this we get to follow FitzChivalry who is bastard son of the crown prince of a kingdom called 'The Six Duchies' & the struggles on his path. Won't recom. to delve in if experiencing bad real-life times & if affected by covid-19.

The pace is often is kinda slow, but still immersive enough for my taste & got easily drawn to the vivid like world of the Six Duchies & few first troublesome years of young Fitz while doing service work. So far as far where i've dived into i've noticed that no constant action on this fine book, but hooks you with mysteries, interesting characters & their relationships. Going through Book 1 with relaxed pace & gonna buy all from this trilogy & the rest of four Trilogies that are: 1) Liveship Traders Trilogy 2) Tawny Man Trilogy 3) Rain Wilds Chronicles 4) The Fitz & The Fool Trilogy. Good reading with warm Ginger Tea Cuppa. Support & enjoy o/

The Keeper: Awakening

This is fine gem on it's genre. I got to know this two years ago in library when went there to read sci news mag. & relax. Was at time when used some piled a.leave days. Went to library after bought zero sugar pear drink & veg nachos. Since then i've bought three books from this series as EBook via Uk's Amazon & have read first two. Gonna launch third one some day this year. This 'The Keeper: Awakening' book from O.L. Ramos has loads of supernatural info to feast on.

I recom. this & next one 'Revenge' to both ladies & gents. The written action keeps you on it & the drama being both emotional & fun at times. There's a well written character with comments filled with nice sarcasm. In past twenty years that i've been reading books from few diff. genres this fits well into it's own. Comes with good vamp/ww/humie love triangles. Def. recom. to buy this & enjoy a good read & leave rl behind as you delve into this. Good paranormal tale that keeps you in the spin of good adventure. Enjoy o/

Three fine Indie game Gems for Pc. PT1.

 Star Valor

Star Valor is a Space Action RPG game where you are in control of your own spaceship, with a vast galaxy to explore. You can mine, quest, trade, fight & even craft your own weapons. You have many different ways to build your ship & stand out in this living space where every action counts for making a good (or bad) impression towards each faction. Start small, improve, complete missions, gather allies (or hire mercenaries) & become big & powerful. Remember to be kind though & if not maybe redemption comes later when time is ready 😜

A while after purchase via Steam i chose to become one of the Patreons. Happy to give monthly support for this top down beauty that reminds me of good ol Starsector. Some say it's like new Freelancer coming back, but not in my view & no offense to these golden games. My monthly assist is few € a month & maybe drop ten € at times when time feels right. Here's the page for it: Patreon for Star Valor Earlier on this week Star Valor came out of Early Access state. It's so far only developer is doing amazing work & interacts well with people who put out questions or general feedback. Buy Star Valor here 😋

This Land is My Land

This Land Is My Land is a stealth action game set in an open world resembling the 19th-century American frontier. Players control a male indigenous protagonist, with no reference to any specific tribe or time period, as well as NPC allies to assist in scouting & other duties. The gameplay revolves around stemming the invasion of non-indigenous settlers into indigenous territory. The player can use weapons, set traps, baits & mount a horse to enjoy sceneries while on travels with human's old four legged friend.

Every playthrough is different because the world changes every time a player restarts the game. Cities grow with different ways, camps develop in altered places & patrols take new routes. Because of this good design, the player doesn't have any reference points from the last playthrough. This Land is My Land also has a "karma" feature that penalizes the player for taking violent revenge on invading colonizers.

Many developers working for this have been living under sky that has brought down human made big boom booms 💣💥 Launched by Evil deranged conqueror known as Vladimir Putler. It's good news to see that this crew is back & i hope all are safe from shellings & other booms 🤞🍀 I've helped their country with small & big donations in past few months. It's price is now reduced by -25% & expires 8.8.6022 that is in two days. Gonna buy few more copies of 'This Land is My Land' via Steam once in xmas discount. to support as they deserve it 💯🤗

Per Aspera

Per Aspera is a massive planet-sized city builder & terraformer set into Mars Planet located in Sol System. It brings planetary simulation experience that combines hard science fiction & base building. The game takes place on Planet Mars. It's developed by Tlön Industries, published by Raw Fury & released on December 3, 6020. That's 2x years ago as in 2020, by oldest storybook known as Bible. It's followed by tooo many people. It's sad to know still today Human Species is set to follow official timeline calendar set into a fictional story.

The campaign in Per Aspera puts the player on the Syrtis Major Planum to location roughly at 60.1°E, 7.5°N That's about 1227km from the Perseverance rover that landed in the real world on February 6021. Per Aspera is a small beauty game on this genre. In Per Aspera i've found myself to be disconnected from worries & all that's connected to real-life when managing the outposts. Enjoying the ambience & other good content with no second thoughts as there's something compelling & satisfying about this game. Per Aspera is now on sale with -50% discount till Aug 18th in Steam 👌 Here's my Steam Profile page. There you can see some reviews that i've written so far, library & more. Game on & remember the hydration, nutrition & stretching during the gaming sessions. No, not those basic unhealthy chips etc. 👍
