I’m always in search of a new kind of book, and I couldn’t wait to read Anamoly Aftermath by Hugh Fritz. I can’t wait to tell you about it!
First, here’s a bit more about the book:
Soleil is lost in time, launched through history at the hands of the Old Ticker. Now he is out of his element. He must adapt to his new home, hope it’s possible to return to his original time, and pray for a chance to correct some mistakes along the way.
Tyrell knows Flarence killed Darren. He wants revenge, though a mere human with limited resources has no chance of harming a Genie. But Roy’s body is failing to the point that not even Genie blood can sustain him. The cause of Roy’s slow death may give Tyrell the opportunity he needs to make Flarence suffer.
The Old Ticker’s designs have been leaked. Now they rest in deadlier hands and more mischievous minds. A pair of spell-casting revolvers were nothing compared with the new weapons being developed in secret. The Genies may have met their match when a scientist emerges armed with the most devastating firearm the world has ever known.
These three novellas are the culmination of the Mystic Rampage series—historical fiction, contemporary action, and near-future science fiction. Connecting them all is their shared theme of overcoming regrettable decisions to forge a brighter future.
What I Thought
This was a fun book! I loved the cover, it was so clever. That’s always a major plus to me (even though I know you aren’t supposed to judge a book by the cover). It had such strong character development and a rich plotline that I couldn’t put it down. It was clever that the author made it into three novellas, and it made for an easier read for me. The world-building was really strong, too. Although it’s part of a series, it works as a stand-alone read.
Anomaly Aftermath is available in print and as an ebook at Amazon. You can add it to your GoodReads reading list as well.
Sounds quite different.
