Mit-Ro-Don
Mit-Ro-Don by D. R. Spires is an action-packed sci-fi novel that follows Jim DeLuca as he gets caught up in events he never expected, facing danger, tough choices, and intense battles along the way.
Everything changed when Jim Deluca joined his sister, Terry, and her husband, Ronny, in the Arizona desert, where they were tracking UFOs. Their curiosity paid off when they actually encountered a UFO. One day, an alien craft abducted the trailer carrying Ronny, along with Mike and Ben. Jim pursued the ship and was taken aboard as well. They discovered that the aliens, known as the Mit-Ro-Don from Jessup, had brought them in because Earth was facing an imminent attack from another alien species, the Chit-Chit-Kunak. The Mit-Ro-Don needed experienced combat pilots to help defend against the threat, and Jim and Ronny, both veterans, were called into action. Their skills, courage, and survival are tested in a war far larger than anything they could have imagined.
I love how Spires made Jim and Ronny feel like real pilots. They adapt quickly to the alien aircraft they are assigned to. Their fights are tactical, with maneuvers that kept me at the edge of my seat. Spires clearly knows a lot about aircraft and combat, and it really shows in the way he writes the flight sequences and battle scenes. The descriptions of ships, maneuvers, and tactics are detailed, which makes the action way more intense. Everything is easy to follow, even for someone with no background in aviation or military strategy. I could picture the scenes clearly in my mind, feel the tension, and understand everything without getting lost in jargon. This balance between technical knowledge and readability is commendable. Spires knows his subject, but he also knows how to make it engaging for anyone reading.
From that first UFO sighting in the desert straight into abductions and battles, there is not a single dull moment. There are no filler setups or scenes that drag on; every page urged me on, making it hard to put the book down. The world-building is another aspect I admire. Spires does not try too hard, yet he delivered a fully immersive world. The war makes the setting tense, which is another element that kept me engaged.
Mit-Ro-Don is an engaging science fiction novel that combines UFOs, military expertise, and alien warfare and gives us an entertaining story. This is a thrilling book, and I found absolutely nothing to dislike. I wholeheartedly rate it 5 out of 5 stars. Readers who like science fiction will definitely enjoy this book.
'Olympus and the
House of Tchrlok
In ‘Olympus and the House of Tchrlok,’ D. R. Spires tells the tale of otherworldly beings interested in occupying planet Earth. One to conquer new territory and expand the reach and domain of their race and the other to preserve the place they have come to see as their home.
In a battle for occupation of the Earth, which side will come out victorious? The Greek gods with their mythical powers or the extraterrestrials with their extremely advanced knowledge and technology? Who will humans side with? Can humans even make an impact in a war between these highly advanced beings? Or is their existence and participation in the war merely to serve as cannon fodder, only to be ultimately written off as collateral damage? After all, just as the proverb goes: ‘When two Elephants fight, the grass suffers.’
The Traxians’ Pod Mother – The Builder, did not hesitate to put her subordinates in their place. She held all the power, and she didn’t let anyone forget for even a second. However, when before the Being she calls ‘Master,’ the power dynamic reverses.
I enjoyed this book immensely. The level of research the author must have undergone was clear in the plot. The meticulous creation of the extraterrestrial beings, their worlds, names, and even physique was apparent. This careful planning paid off, as I was thoroughly engaged in this book the more I read. My only dislike is the sudden change of time and events, which threw me off a bit and took a while to adjust to. However, the author’s use of timestamps helped orient me and ensured I didn’t get confused mid-read, lose interest, or have my excitement dulled.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. The author’s skillful use of linguistic distancing to create a distinct manner of speech for the Traxians and the use of archaic language for the gods evoke a sense of authenticity for the characters. This also adds depth and nuance to the narrative. Some of the themes in this book include identity and power dynamics. Andrea struggles with her identity. Having lived the majority of her life as a regular person, she is told, in a rather odd way, that she is extraordinary. Her journey to self-discovery is supported by various characters.
I recommend this book to fans of science fiction, mythology, and adventure. The author expertly weaves these genres together with excellent world-building that astounded me.
