Tegon Maus

I am new to audiobooks and it took me a very long time to listen to the entire book. I feel my review may not reflect my true feelings about the story, because of my brain wanting to wander all the time. Anyway….

I did spend a lot of time laughing, especially with the dialogue. Jonathon Cook did an awesome job with the narration. He had me laughing my head off with Bob’s accent and made it easy to determine who was talking. Tegon Maus has created an interesting storyline and the missing girl is much more than she seems. Peter Anderson’s search for her leads him on a wild adventure, filled with danger and new friends.

I voluntarily reviewed a free ecopy of the audible for Bob by Tegon Maus.

I would like to give it 3.5 stars.

“BOB” by Tegon Maus is my first read by this author.

It is a sci-fi, telling the extraordinary adventure of Pete Anderson, a reporter, who thinks the story of his unusual encounter with something out of this world would land his career on a successful path.
During his course of pursuing his story, he has made acquaintance with Bob, an Americanized Russian, who says he can assist Pete through his exploration.
Together, are they able to cross path with the “aliens”? Would they be in danger? Can they save themselves, and others?

Overall, I like the plot, the protagonists (Pete and Bob), as well as the humors between them. It is an interesting sci-fi yet easy to follow. Nonetheless, the flow of the story is a bit choppy; at some points, the story-telling lacks some strength.… (mer)

Black Moon by Tegon Maus
The Chronicles of Tucker Littlefield #2

Fantasy fiction that drew me in slowly. The story was told in a way that allowed me to truly see a place and its various people and understand them in a way I could relate to.

In this fantasy world there are nine tribes all quite different from one another. There is a mythology that includes the passing of the scepter/spear every 28 years. There is history, mythology, hatred, prejudice and more that each tribe is impacted by.

Tucker is not your typical handsome strong youngish hero but he is a worthy man given a huge job that takes him on a quest that brings him new understanding and personal growth.

This is a story of friendship and loss and evil and family and doing the best you can with what you have at hand. There is a murderer to find and though the evil person is found the story doesn’t seem to end with this book as there are hints of war that may not be able to be avoided. That said...in spite of it being populated with non-human beings there are elements that appealed to this human. At the end of the book I wondered about Grake & Mookie and what will happen to Bowen and if Enon is really alive and if so where he has been for the years he has been assumed dead and well...I can’t wait to see what will happen to Tucker and the rest of the group when book three is published. NOTE: I had not read book one of the series so did read reviews and the blurb for The Gift before starting to read – I believe it helped to do so but had no trouble understanding this episode in Tucker’s life. That said, I do plan to read book one to see what I missed ;)

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.

I was asked to review this by the author. When I first started the book, I wasn't sure what to think. It is very different from anything I've reviewed lately. In fact, I would say that's one of the strengths of Bob: its uniqueness. But at times the story line seemed a bit too forced. I'm not sure I would have stuck with the entire book except ... the strange and funny characters kept me reading to the end. I was eager to find out what they would do next.

There are plenty of twists and turns in Peter Anderson's adventure. But the biggest one comes at the end of the book. The reader is left wondering what is truth and what is fiction. A fun read!… (mer)
