Unfair

by Timothy Ellis

Lyla Cowan just lost her command.
And it’s not her fault!
Now she’s cast adrift with a bunch of misfits.
Being a senior fighter pilot was her achieved ambition, short lived as it turned out to be.
So what sort of life purpose is there without that for someone like her?
There are options, but how survivable are they without the latest tech she’s relied on for so long?
The future looks bleak, and the chip on her shoulder is huge.
And for right now, everything is just Unfair.

[This book follows on from events in Nemesis Rising, Killer Bunny book 4.]

(New info added at the bottom, in response to feedback and reviews.)

Timothy Ellis lives on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia; where he constantly battles with his cat for possession of his desk chair, Daleks do guard duty, and he keeps his sonic screwdriver next to his lightsaber and wand. Now there is a female Doctor Who, he eagerly awaits the sound of the Tardis materializing in his house.

He has spent his life reading and watching science fiction and fantasy, and has been playing Space Genre computer games since he used to be smuggled in to play the original text Star Trek game on a university mainframe, long before the PC or Apple appeared. Since 2004, he's written game guides for the Egosoft X Universe series, culminating in two versions of the X3 Handbook. He has also designed major mods for the various games, and dozens of mini mods.

He has been a farm worker, Antique Dealer, Computer Programmer, Systems Analyst, Operations Manager of a small retail chain, and Retail Store Owner. He is now a full time author, who still does Spiritual Healer and helper work.

After leaving behind the corporate and business worlds, he was opened to his Spiritual gifts. Now a Feng Shui Master, Feng Shui led him to Buddhism, Karma, the Tao, and back to western spiritualism. Since 2006 he has been writing spiritual articles and helping people via spiritual forums and Facebook Groups. His spiritual books include "Personal Healing Using Basic Meditation", "Life Harmony, Feng Shui in Plain English", '101 Tips for the John of God Brazil Experience', and "The Wisdom of the Ages is available for the price of asking a question" series of 8 books. His own spiritual healing led him to writing novels.

His first novel, 'Hero at Large', spawning the long running 'The Hunter Imperium' universe, brings together his love of the space genre, magic, spirituality, and cats. Now 10 series long, the universe covers 3 galaxies, 4100 years, and as at Dragon Imperative, 62 Novels, 7 shorts, and 2 companion books. There are 7 main entrance points across 10 series: Hero at Large, Admiral of Gaia, Yesterday's Spacemage, Crossover, Midshipman Spacemage, Old Magic, and Dragon Rider. Alternate entrance points if you don't need backstory first, are Adrift and Mage King, although Dragon Rider has 3 books before it about the dragons.

If you wish to be kept up to date with new releases and information in The Hunter Legacy Universe series, subscribe here: http://eepurl.com/bqMgVz, and follow on Amazon, Goodreads, or BookBub.

The fastest way to find out about a new release is my Facebook group/page, which get advance warning about 2-4 days before release, and again when the book is uploaded to Kindle; and my email list which goes out as soon as I have an Amazon page for the new book. Bookbub will let you know about 3-4 days after I remember to tell them.

I normally will release in advance of the specified release date whenever possible, so if you are a Kindle Unlimited reader, you will want another method to be notified of the actual release date, so you can read on day 1.

Reviews

[Donal Kempton · Rating 1 out of 5]

Just plain silly.

This is like candy floss, no substance at all. Should be rewritten from scratch.

How it gotan award is beyond my understanding.

[Monty · Rating 3 out of 5]

The MC and her 5 companions are far to ignorant and dimensionally lacking in the way they are portrayed, bordering on the absurd. Even though its partially the premise, its far to excessive in my opinion.

How people like that ever managed to gain the seat of a fighter craft makes no sense to me. More like lackwit zombies, the slow type in paranormal fiction.

The story also suffers from massive continuity inconsistencies when compared to prior books in this story universe. All of a sudden we get to read comments like this:
- Five Excalibur Fours and a Gunbus could take on twelve inferior fighters, but more than that, and we were basically fucked. -
This literally makes no sense compared to prior stories and other gross continuity issues like this are just so obviously there for validating the plot direction, but sadly only manages the opposite.

Always fun

Well, we are off to another great start with another Hunter Imperium Universe series. If you like science fiction/fantasy combos this is a great one. Throw in a little spiritualism and it makes a great universe. If you haven't read the other series in this universe I suggest starting at the beginning. Although , so far as it goes, this book is a good stand alone series it will make more sense with the context of the others.

Can't put it down

Nonstop action as their team starts to shake down and covered into a unit. Good things come to those who await them, let the reader be ready.

[John Steadman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Liked it

Took me a while to get into this. Have decided to read some more. Good action sequences. Would like a little more detail and character development.

[Hugh Honts · Rating 5 out of 5]

what a change!

Ok, back to where I left off to go back and catch up…jumping from “Merlin” & Zee to Lyla was … shocking?

Like how the story wrapped up. Jumping to next one now.

Best enjoyed with small sense of being unfairly treated. Good to see the growth , but better to watch it unfold.
