Stealthy Redemptive Fiction works well for reality

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 21, 2017 by David BergslandMarch 21, 2017

OK! The title’s for SEO. But, Stealthy Redemptive Fiction works well for reality when it’s Vikki Kestell’s Nanostealth series. I’ve read Book 1, Stealthy Steps, or book 2, Stealth Power. Book 3 comes forth June 2. It’s hard to wait. The Nanostealth Series Book 1 started a … Continue reading →

Redemptive Science Fiction Firestarter is an intriguing tale

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 8, 2017 by David BergslandMarch 8, 2017

As an example of Redemptive Science Fiction Firestarter is an intriguing tale. This is speculative science fiction with a core of truth—probably. As Vance says in his intro to Firestarter: “I hope I have created a story that is enjoyable to … Continue reading →

The Emerald Enigma Space Drifters falls short

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 8, 2017 by David BergslandMarch 8, 2017

The Emerald Enigma Space Drifters falls short for me. A dextrous bit of entertainment fluff, I always expect much more from Enclave publishing. The tradepub blanket smothers the truth—again. I read a space opera parody, I think. I think many find … Continue reading →

Sky ships nasty villains in a bit of entertaining fluff

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 7, 2017 by David BergslandMarch 7, 2017

The Bloodheart is a supposedly Christian fantasy by an excellent writer who pulled the punches, really badly. Sky ships nasty villains in a bit of entertaining fluff tells it all. While I enjoyed the authorial dexterity, there is nothing here but entertainment. … Continue reading →

Transhumanism enters mainstream politics

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 22, 2017 by David BergslandFebruary 22, 2017

Transhumanism enters mainstream politics and it’s an opportunity for us—plus a cause for prayer and wisdom. It’s Luciferian doublespeak with a serious twist—this guy is what looks like a viable politic candidate with some very attractive options for technological enthusiasts. He … Continue reading →

Epic Christian urban fantasy provides a fun read

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 6, 2017 by David BergslandFebruary 6, 2017

If you like long reads [I do], in The Starlight Chronicles, C.S. Johnson has written an epic Christian urban fantasy. It’s a 7-book series. It will keep you enthralled for a week or more—depending upon how compulsive you are. It seems completely outside … Continue reading →

Edgy Christian romance surprised me with a good story

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 3, 2017 by David BergslandFebruary 3, 2017

It isn’t often that my jaded, old, viewpoint is poked. But an Edgy Christian romance surprised me last night. Cries from a Crusty Heart looks like it would be horrible. It starts with a hunky angel guide offering to kill all the people … Continue reading →

In the midst of an industry where stories of believers are rare, even a mid-school science fiction Super Seven superhero series is fun to read. The series will also entertain your pre-teen or young teenagers — for the superheroes in the Super Seven … Continue reading →

Dystopian YA thriller: The Senator’s Youngest Daughter

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 29, 2016 by David BergslandDecember 29, 2016

This book reads like a dystopian YA thriller —though the characters seem to be bit older. It’s a familiar scenario. Here’s the prologue: Eight years ago, at the height of a media crisis centered on a controversial decision by the … Continue reading →
