OUTSUPERED – 4 Stars (out of 5)

Rob Foster's Outsupered is a terrific, rollicking superhero epic tale. The characters are great. And if you've ever been a comic book fan, it's fun trying to pick out who some of the characters are based on. Foster also excels at action writing; his fight scenes are played out on a wide-scale, literally out of this world at times. So, why the four stars? Foster's writing has a few issues, most of them technical and easily fixed (question marks not in dialogue parentheses, but in the tags; and dialogue tags that sometimes go one too long, telling way too much). Having said that, at times Foster's writing is brilliant. The good news? He's only getting better. Even better? I understand there'll be a sequel. Outsupered is highly recommended. I'm looking forward to the sequel!

Who are we to nitpick? Style issues are fixable. Fellow writers bat each other around.

Does that convince you to browse Outsupered for yourself or a geek on your gift list? And Watch for the referred-to sequel, due out soon – OUTSUPERED II: ARRIVAL OF THE OMNITERRESTRIALS.

How Should We Couch This?


She knew great baseball players & authors when she saw them! She did marry one of each, after all.

It isn't quite like Marilyn, but Rob's newest book, released just last year, is well worth curling up with on the couch!

Yes, it shares its title with a number of better-known works, but if you enjoy science fiction mystery with a twist, you ought to give a browse to NO EXIT.

Journalist Michael Arc mysteriously disappeared in 2003. In the years following, all written and photographic evidence of his existence began to disappear as well. Before he vanished, he was working on the bizarre topic of time travel and certain nefarious forces who may be using it to alter the past and create a new future that favors their evil. Evil like the Allies’ loss of World War II, like a certain thwarted assassination attempt in Dallas, and other historical game-changing events!

The secret files of Michael Arc, once thought lost, have been discovered! Astonishing tales of chrono-chaos; there's historical chicanery, alien agendas, confused scientists, mysterious strangers… even a dinosaur! Read at your own risk…

Yes, this book too is available in paperback or e-reader! Buy it via AmazonSmile, and a portion of your purchase total will become a donation to Elayne Boosler's Tails of Joy animal rescue!
