Smuggler's Guilt Reader's Favorite Review

Smuggler's Guilt, the second story in the Reese Daniels Smuggler series, has just picked up a 5-star review from Reader's Favorite!



Reviewed by Doreen Chombu for Readers' Favorite


All Reese Daniels ever wanted was to protect and provide for his aunt and his sister Gracie. His job as a space smuggler helps him fulfill his duties, but it does come with dangers that he has managed to handle until now. His latest mission to one of Uranus’ moons lands him in a gruesome alien invasion that he and a group of Marine cadets barely escape. Unfortunately, his troubles are not over because the Earth Defense Force Security blackmails him into a new mission to infiltrate and take down a criminal cartel. Reese knows this is a suicide mission because he has enemies in the cartel who want him dead. Will he ever get out alive? Get a copy of Smuggler's Guilt by T.D. Wilson to find out.


Smuggler’s Guilt is the sequel to Smuggler's Valor and is book two in the Reese Daniels Smuggler Series by T.D. Wilson. The series brings you space action, romance, and adventure and introduces readers to intriguing characters. Reese Daniels is a witty and charming character that I could not help but root for. He knows how to read people, and this comes in handy and helps him in dire situations. The other characters in the cast are both formidable and mysterious. This kept me curious and glued to the story. Each person has the potential to be a star in their own book, and I cannot wait to read about them in future installments. The book is easy to read and understand because it is conversational and fast-paced. The dialogue was realistic, and the chemistry between the characters was natural. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves reading science fiction adventure novels.

Review of Dragons of Deceit

 




As a big RPG gamer growing up, the World of Krynn was so exciting to experience.  After years of waiting, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have brought us back to the Inn of the Last Home and many of the characters we have enjoyed.  Dragons of Deceit involves Lady Destina Rosethorn's quest to find a way to travel back in time to the battle of the High Clerist's tower in the War of the Lance and save her father.  How? She needs to find the Device of Time Journeying and learn how it work from one of the last people know to use it, Tasslehoff Burrfoot.  Getting a kender involved in anything is set for trouble and a good laugh.  I can't wait for the next book, Dragons of Fate coming August 2023.
