Mission 3047: One Soul’s Fantasy by Stuart Ledwith – Review by Carrie Reed

Mission 3047Mission 3047 by Stuart Ledwith PhD
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Interesting read. Weird in a good way. Do I want to be floated up to an alien spaceship? Yes, yes I do. I thought the story was really fun in regards to June and Sarge going on missions to help the aliens. It was also cool that her kids, Cora and Liv were so excited and ready to assist in anything they needed. They both seem like great girls and very intelligent, especially with the work Liv was doing to help her dad. I kind of didn’t like June, and kind of thought it was weird that she was with Sarge, it seems like they have more than just a partner relationship and friendship. I don’t know if I could ever be romantically involved with someone else while my husband was in a bed, and I couldn’t understand why the girls were so okay with it all. Overall a fun story in regards to the adventures they all have, the research done on brainwaves and all of the fun characters introduced along the way.

In this day and age with UFOs and UAPs being seen by military personnel and civilians alike, it seemed only appropriate that I include them in my latest book, “Mission 3047.”

ETs, extraterrestrial beings, have been a part of my life for many years now.  I have talked with many and have taken pictures of UFOs with my phone’s camera.  You can see three of them on the cover.

I was lucky, I guess, that the soul of a dear friend of mine cared to share her deepest fantasies with me and gave me permission to write them as I saw fit.  It was a nice fit since I love to write soul’s stories.  All of my books include the story of at least one soul.  My lifetime work has been to help souls heal and arrive at the destination here that most fit them and their particular gifts thus helping their human hosts heal as well.

I hope you have enjoyed my books and have shared them with your friends.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have always enjoyed this series and I really loved getting to know these two sisters as characters. In some ways, their storylines seemed more interesting. While the novel is of course full of suspense and makes you want to turn the pages faster, I really enjoyed the character development. Highly recommend reading the whole series!

Rebel, forge their own paths. That’s exactly what Caitlin and Seraphine set out to do. On a journey for adventure they not only put themselves in danger but the fate of the survivors as well.

All moms could relate to this one! There isn’t anything we wouldn’t do to protect our little ones. I was immediately hooked. All the books in the series hit me on some emotional level but this one took the cake. Relationships are challenged. Theirs more at stake. I think I really enjoy the time line and how much time has passed since the outbreak. We’ve been able to really dive into every aspect of survival.

I love books about the world as we know
It ending. Apocalyptic stories get you thinking about how’d you survive. How would the world overcome the changes? This book drew me in with the science behind the spread. It all made sense. Especially living through Covid. How easily it can happen. The author did an amazing job with the characters and scenery.

I have enjoyed this series from the start. Each book holds its own dynamic and own unique feel. This story is of the daughters and their specific journey. Every step you feel like you are with them. Angst, drama, and a touch of love attached. Book 6 is just as amazing as the first 5.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book in the Antipodes series is different from the others as the min focus is not Cam and Freja like the previous books, however this by no means affected to quality of the author’s work. The story focuses on other characters who inhabit the same world – Caitlin and Seraphine. They are given a purpose however they are unhappy with the life that has been laid out for them so leave on their own adventure. The way this was written, much like the author’s previous books, is great. The writing flows so well and makes the world they have created more accessible and easier to navigate.
I was a little apprehensive that given my love for the characters in the previous books, I may find it difficult to relate and connect with the new characters in the same way, but I needn’t have worried. As usual the author delivered complex and compelling characters that you can’t help but get emotionally invested in.
Caitlin and Seraphine have a great dynamic and unfortunately experience their share of turmoil when they are forced to make difficult decisions which affect not only them, but the people they love. This doesn’t stop their personalities from shining through, making you fall in love with them.
I am so glad I gave this series a chance and will certainly keep my eye on this talented author for more!

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes, #6)The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caitlin and Seraphine have grown up on the island of Lewis with their family, but they are not just your usual girls, they live under a dome which protects their families from the infected water which surrounds them, they just happen to be immune to the virus and are the future of humanity. The two girls are intelligent and are always getting themselves into some sort of trouble and the according punishments when they are caught, but all they want to do is escape their structured and calculated lives, they want their freedom and to forget their responsibilities, just like anyone their age would.

One day things haven’t exactly gone to plan for the two and so they decide to up sticks and leave in the middle of the night and escape the problems which they have caused, again, so they decide to use their technical skills to travel somewhere new. They have decided it is about time that the Nexus is reactivated, it has been a long time since anyone used it and for good reason, but now that they have figured out how to do it, they think that they are onto a good thing, but they didn’t bank on nature throwing a wrench in.

As they go through the Nexus, they realise that they are not where they expected they would be, they cannot understand what has happened, or even where they are, but they decide to explore and if they can, leave and travel over land to their final destination, but what they discover as they try to leave is more dangerous than anything they have could have imagined and they are in a whole new world of trouble. Can Cait and Sera figure out what has happened and what both the near and far future holds for them, or will it all come crashing down around them? This is an action packed epic sci-fi adventure where nothing is as it seems and twists and turns will keep you guessing throughout while discoveries are made and secrets are revealed in this unmissable and immersive world the author has created.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my I wasn’t expecting so much of this series! I am so glad that I decided to read this post apocalyptic series even though it isn’t the norm for me. I did lose some sleep because I couldn’t wait to finish it. Quite a few times I fell asleep with the eBook in my hand, as I do most of my reading at night once my kiddos are in bed. Anyways, this series starts out with Cam. The first two books are in his point of view. The third book switches from his point of view to that of his wife’s (Freyja). Then books four and five are in her view. But book six is in Caitlin’s point of view. She is one of the children that grew up on Lewis. She and her sister Seraphine are fed up with their lives. As their lives have been calculated since before birth they long for something different. More adventure. They were created for the sole purpose of ensuring the survival of the human race. A virus in the water killed the world. The plants, the animals, and most of the humans. Scientist quickly came up with a plan to place biodomes around the world to try and save the human race (read more in book 1). There was a very lengthy test to pick candidates to live while everyone else perished. About 300 people were in each dome. Some domes connect, but that’s a whole thing (again read the rest of the series for all that craziness!) itself. Most domes were on the coast or on islands, but there were a few inland as well. Scientist resided in two of the domes, whereas the rest of the selected people were spread out in the other domes. Back to the girls. Being immune children who’s purpose is to save the human race, there is a lot of pressure on them. Ordered around and everything planned for them gets old fast. Being 21 with a special role to live up to, but what if you reject your sole purpose? You’ve been specifically designed for a reason, but you don’t care. Cait and Sera endanger not only themselves but everyone they love when they run off. Embarking on a very dangerous and yet thrilling journey, they reactivate the Nexus (read the other books for more info on that too!! Just read the set man!!) and discover new underwater worlds they never new existed. Will this journey end up killing one or both of them? What about their loved ones? Will they survive through these once again hard times. Dangerous people in a dangerous world that you know nothing about isn’t want these girls thought about, but now they must face that and more! They have opened up their home to invasion by struggling communities and they have to stay alive long enough to contact their family. Can they even get back home? What will they have to sacrifice in order to make it back? I can’t wait for the author to write more once rested! This is such a wonderful series!! If you read this set you HAVE to read it in order. You could read this one as a stand alone, BUT you get so much information in the others that you will probably kick yourself for it. Trust me, you want to read them all! I will be not so patiently waiting for more!!!

Sessrumnir (Antipodes, #5)Sessrumnir by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Have you started this set yet?? If not you need to!! Go grab them all and buckle down for a great story! This series can totally become a movie that I would watch! It is so good!! For those who haven’t read any of the books yet I will TRY not to give any spoilers from any of them, but if anything small slips in any of my reviews I apologize. It is such a great set and so much happens in ever single book! The first two books are in Cam’s point of view. The third starts in his view, but then switches to his wife’s (Freyja) point of view. Book 4 and 5 are also in her point of view. So here we go again…. After getting MORE life changing news, AGAIN! The residents of Lewis (& Roseglen) are once again thrust into the thick of things to protect their families. Drastic action is required and they are forced to see who behind this latest threat. Will life ever be normal again for this world? All they want is to be left in peace, be free, safe, and secure. Is that to much to ask in a post apocalyptic world? Discovering this newest threat and eliminating it is the only course here to keep their children protected and safe. Before it takes all their lives Freyja, some old friends, and even some new friends are forced into action. What will happen next?! I am sad that this set is coming to a close, but I can’t wait to read book 6 either! I am SO glad that I choose to read this series! As my first post apocalyptic set I am loving it more and more with each book. The author created this world, it’s characters, and all their stories so well. I can picture it all and some of it is quite scary to think about! Who knows what will come of the world! Off to read book 6 and find out!!

Caim (Antipodes Series Book 4) by T.S. Simons – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn

Caim (Antipodes, #4)Caim by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book four is just as suspenseful and captivating as the first three!! This book starts in Freyja’s point of view after the third ended in hers’. Seven years later, Cam and Freyja are on Lewis living with their family and friends in their small sustainable community called Roseglen. They now have four kids of their own, but with all their family and friends they have their own small village which totals 13 kids! They all finally feel safe and are happy just living their simple “normal” lives. In a post apocalyptic world under a biodome that is. The water outside is still unsafe and scientists think that it will take generations before it starts to return to life. But things never go as planned with this family. When some doctors from the scientist’s domes show up with some kids and earth shattering news for Freyja, they are thrust into the thick of it again and off on another journey they never thought they’d take. Freyja, Cam and two friends who join them are off to find out the truth. Or more truths really. All the lies they’ve been told just keep stacking up higher and higher. Who knew about all these plans? Who knew and lied? Who and what will this effect now?? Making some close friends suspects to these diabolical godlike plans they have to unearth the truth and fast! So much is at stake. The journey takes weeks and along the way Freyja learns about Caim, which is a circle of protection from Gaelic roots. Feeling like their family is at risk, yet again she feels a little lighter after calling the circle. But once home again will things fall apart? Will the messengers be killed? And what about all the kids! They unfortunately get into some trouble and it leads to some life threating stuff too. Life changing events should be the theme of this series because this poor world sure goes through some stuff! If you haven’t started this series….why not?!?! It is so so good!! I’m trying so hard not to give anything away so if you read the reviews of all the books you get no spoilers from me, but let me tell you it is hard!! I want to mention so many things!! These characters are so easy to fall in love with and very relatable in many ways. It shows you that even in hard times traditions are important. Love, loyalty, and friendships are definitely tested in every book of this series so far, and I’m sure the rest will be the same. Trust me when I say you will not regret picking up this set!! You might lose a little sleep, but who hasn’t done that for a really good book…. right??!! I’m off for more adventure in book 5!!

Ouroboros (Antipodes, #3)Ouroboros by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh wow! This is getting better and better with every book!! Imagine that the world has ended….. A virus spreading that was unstoppable. Scary right?! It’s in the water and it kills everything! Plants, animals, and of course humans. You can’t drink it. You can’t cook with it. There is no filter to take it out. It is in the water, so it kills the planet! It’s a post apocalyptic world now. Scientists have made bio-domes throughout the earth to help save the human race from the virus. These bio-domes start with roughly 300 people and are all separated. They have to start everything right away to make sure there is food and shelters for everyone. Planting for food later on, breeding animals, and building house are top priority in those first five or so years. You only have so many resources to start with after all. Most of these domes are on coasts or islands that have a natural water source that is closed off before the virus spreads to it. Some of these domes are linked with portals (read book 1 & 2 for more information on that!), but most are cut off from the rest. It is later discovered that there are some inland domes and even some survivors without domes! Imagine how all that is! Now let’s get to Cam. He is the main character throughout these wonderful books. He has had a horrible go at all this so far. Of course everyone has with the world ending!! But he just can’t keep away from being thrust into situations that are so life changing. How much worse can it be since the world ended? Oh boy, don’t even ask that! You will jinx it!! Just read these books asap! I don’t want to give away ANYTHING from the other books (so you HAVE to read them!!!!), but boy does he go through some stuff! Finding love, being poisoned, finding loved ones (from before), losing loved ones, traveling in the dangerous virus reddened world, and all the stuff in between has Cam spiraling head first more than once in this series! In this book Cam finds out even more about the way the scientists choose people to survive, how and with whom they’d be placed them with in said domes, what they could and couldn’t have, and so so so much more!! Hard to believe that a few short years ago they thought they were alone on this world, but now they find out that there are others and they’re more connected than they know! Will this new knowledge threaten his life? His family? His friendships? Friendships will defiantly be and are tested! Some relationships might not last through all the lies and omissions. The book does shift to Freyja’s point of view and it finishes that way. Freyja is Cam’s 1st & 3rd wife (read the other books for those details!!). Man oh man do you have to read this set of books! This is the first bio-dome post apocalyptic series that I have read and I can’t wait to finish it!! I am loving it so much! This book will have you staying up all night, on the edge of you seat, gripped in, and sometimes even crying! The characters and the world are put together so well. You can see the heart and soul put into this book the more you read. I’m off to read book 4!!!!

This book had me in tears!!! Seriously!! The Author builds the world and characters so well that you are so attached to it all! The characters are so diverse and relatable that you can’t help but fall in love with so many of them. And maybe even dislike a few too! When anything happens you are on the edge of your seat, reading as fast as you can to find out what will happen next! I did this a few times and stayed up way to late to find out! This is only book two in the set and I have to say that I am hooked and can’t wait to read the rest! Cam is happy with his new life on Lewis with his new wife (Read book one for more info on all that craziness!!). Anyways, he has become a welcomed productive member of this new community and he feels at home. Not at all like how he was treated in his last community. Settling into Lewis has been much easier and he treasures that and the people so much. As he is getting into that new life, Cam is burdened with some news. Someone he loves from “before” may still be alive! What do you do when it’s the end of the world and you find out someone you love might be out there somewhere? Torn between leaving his wife and making yet another torturous journey into the rings or staying and letting the past be the past, he must make a choice. Traveling yet again in the gray unknown world has him embarking on a path that will forever change his life. Again! How much more can one man deal with?! Virus that kills the whole world and now all this! Who knew the end of the world would be so challenging! Don’t say ” what else can happen?” because even more does!!!! Pick up this book NOW and get reading!! You won’t be disappointed with this set!! So far it is SSSSOOOO good!!! Look for my other reviews on the other books in the set because I AM going to be reading them ALL!!!!

Antipodes (Antipodes, #1)Antipodes by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What would you do when a global outbreak threatens to decimate the whole planet? A virus that is killing off everything and is spread through water! Well a group of scientists come up with a plan but picking a group of young people who have certain skills is hard. A crazy long test that asks about anything and everything help sort out who will stay and who will go. Could you leave your family behind to die while you try to live and save the human race? Campbell (Cam) is one of the few to be chosen. The guilt of him being picked over others has him homesick. Being lonely when surrounded by 300 people is heartbreaking. His anxiety is crippling at first, but he slowly over comes it and finds that his new life isn’t so bad. He finds friendship and belonging in the community and slowly everyone adjusts to the new ways of this world they’re trying to save. Cam unfortunately finds himself alone and he’s pulled through the crazy vortexes of life in a dome. Circumstances change quickly and he must overcome even more obstacles in this post-apocalyptic society. Such a great read! I CAN NOT wait to finish the rest in the set!! This is the first set that I have read that is post-apocalyptic with biospheres of people trying to keep the human race going. The author really does a great job in building the world and characters. Coming up with solutions for the rain, wind, cooking, farming and sustainability had to take a lot of research and thought and you can tell the love and care that went into this book. I would totally recommend this book to everyone! I am off to read part two!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

(SPOILERS) (CONTENT WARNING: Self Harm/SA)

Honestly I’m waiting for the day this series gets a TV contract. This would make such a good show. Always full of twists and turns, and of course, the drama. It starts off I think 6 or 7 years from where the last book ends, with Cam and Frejya with a full brood of kids. There’s adventure, action, and even some mystery. And of course, there’s a moment in here where I try not to bawl my eyes out. I know books need to be dramatic for readers to keep reading, like movies, but Jesus Christ, can Cam and Frey finally catch a break? Like cmon… make someone else suffer for once! My heart can’t take it!

However, I do wish there had been a bit of a content warning at the beginning, because there is a graphic scene of self harm, as well as a graphic scene of a character being forced against her will.

This book definitely held my attention better than the first two. It is a switch POV book, and we get a larger look into Freyja’s life since the Virus. There’s a lot of reconciliation and healing in the first part, which I absolutely adored. There’s a lot more about the other societies and (small spoiler) about the true plans the governments had for the communities around the world. I wonder what book 4 has to bring!

I’m not normally a sci-fi person, I lean more towards fantasy. But this was a good book. A little scary, considering the way the world has been with covid over the past couple of years, but still good.

It is a bit of a slower book. It took me a couple days to work through it, although that could be because I recently got promoted at work and I don’t have as much time I used to read. I really liked the writing style, and that the author put footnotes in the book for some Australian or Scottish phrases that as an American, I wouldn’t fully understand. On to book 2!

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes, #6)The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The 45th Parallel is a great continuation in the Antipodes Series. This book focuses more on the next generation of survivors, the children of the people chosen to live within the domes. Caitlin and Seraphina have lived their whole lives within the dome on Lewis, but long for adventure as they grow up. Adventure they find when they reactivate the antipodal point that allowed travel between communities. However, new communities are discovered, along with a whole new set of threats and dangers. This book had me on edge from the very beginning. Although this book could be read as a stand alone, I think the whole series is better read in order. There are so many characters, as well as so many different communities and backstories, that it would be difficult to understand any of the later books without first reading the books that came before. T. S. Simons is one of my new favorite authors! She has consistently delivered wonderful characters, full of life, and ones you can’t help but feel connected to, as well as surprisingly realistic worlds and settings.

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes Series Book 6) by T.S. Simons – Review by April McCoy

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes, #6)The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book, 6th in the Antipodes series is proving an author can exceptionally craft a series with this many books and not lose their readers along the way! The Antipodes series and especially this book were just addicting to read. There is such a balance, great character growth and an indescribable set theme. I enjoy the strong female leads and I definitely enjoy the variety and story line that has brought us here. Well worth reading this whole series!

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes Series Book 6) by T.S. Simons – Review by Jennifer Ramos

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes, #6)The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so surprised and thrilled to hear that Simons has continued this series! This story focuses on Seraphine and Caitlin, two of the immune children against the infested waters. In the beginnings of their adulthood and feeling oppressed with how they have been living. As many of the adventures they have grown up hearing about, they are very eager to have one of their own and see what they find. They end up finding another underwater parallel that has been surviving on their own means as they also learn of other struggling communities. Through the emotional upheavals, they learn through this experience and bring them to the point of thinking whether they will be able to go back to their upbringing community or stay within this new one. To best understand the story, I highly recommend reading the previous books in the series and it will be so worth it!

This series has swallowed me whole and I cannot stop! Another beautiful read with such intense emotion that bleeds from the page. You can sense the urgency and need to protect the children. I absolutely love T.S Simons ability to pose deep questions to the reader in every book of her series! That paired with her talent to create such relatable characters like Freyja and Illyria, you can’t help but be completely drawn in and invested. This is the most thought provoking series I’ve read in a long time! I almost don’t want to read book 6 The 45th Parallel because I don’t want this series to end! This series is a must read!

What would you risk for those you love? T.S. Simons has asked me so many questions I can’t help but dwell on. I love when a book or a series just stays with you for a while after you’ve read it, and this series will do the same. I am an emotional wreck after this book. T.S. Simons beyond tugs at the heartstrings in this installment when Cam, Freyja, and friends must brave the peril of another journey and discover the truth about why they were chosen. I know I’ve said this with every book so far but Caim is my favorite. Simons writing is just so incredible. Each book just keeps getting better and every twist is more mind blowing! Thank you T.S. Simons for this gem! Highly recommend it!
