Book Description
What makes a killer? Any living soul can become one. Take away everything they love, give them no reason to live, make them desperate, and they can be taught to kill.

Only on reaching maturity will this desire require satisfying. And how can a natural born killer stand out in a species that has made murder into an art form?

Book Description
Fleeing the threat of civil war on her home world and a planetary genocide game played by an ancient and evil race, Princess Grace and her small band of refugees seek sanctuary on distant Earth. But their peaceful existence is shattered when one of her own betrays them. With Earth hanging in the balance, an unlikely hero comes forward to challenge the impossible odds. Young Adult meets Military Sci-Fi This story is a rich, warm YA story, underpinned by a complex, well-realized Military SF with intricate politics and thrilling battles. The two sides, Verceti and Trun are embroiled in a centuries-long war. Both have come to a grinding stalemate, but an unseen third force starts to tip the balance of power in the Trun's favour. In order to preserve their leadership, the Verceti mount a counterattack as a distraction covering them from fleeing. This includes the young princess, Grace. She lands on Earth where her training continues, picking up some native allies on the way. What I really enjoyed was the true villains, the Zerot. In military SF, often reasons are given for the conflict which just doesn't stand up to scrutiny. In this, it is all a game to them, which they bet on, which makes more sense than most reasons. The YA side did concern me as it's not my usual fair, however, the sheer warmth this side shows was compelling in itself, especially when juxtaposed with what you know is coming. A note, as this is a self-published book - the editing is excellent. (In fact, it is edited by the legendary Ellen Campbell, who provides a stamp of quality in her involvement) So, in conclusion - 5 stars for a brilliant first book. Compelling and Beautiful - Verified UK Amazon Customer I read this book whilst on holiday in Spain. I was looking forward to a relaxing poolside read but instead was suddenly transported to planets many light years away with evil (no… really evil) beings and to places quite close (only a few hundred miles away). Mr Lambert certainly has an imagination with a twist. There are some lovely characters that you can visualize – helped by the wonderful book cover artwork. The first book is grounded on earth (not to give the story away) and I think that this helps the reader flow into the second book (which is also brilliant). The story is compelling and beautiful and I am looking forward to book 3. An Interview with the Author Q. What makes the Zerot Infestation Series special? A. It's a mixture of things, really. It is the book I've always wanted to read. The villains behave in the same manner as the Japanese Giant Hornets (now they are nasty pieces of work). I wanted to create a unique story, which I believe this series is. You won't see "If you like so and so, you'll love this" because there is nothing else like this. My hero in the first chapter of Book 1 thinks "And what could she, a ten-year-old girl do anyway? Leave the war to the adults. "Unfortunately, as she grows up, she finds herself dragged into the forefront of the war and an unseen, colossal galactic confrontation. But the best thing this series portrays, so I'm told, is my vivid/weird imagination. (I've also managed to rewrite history in a couple of places, which is well cool!) Q. The series targets Teens & Young Adults. A. Yes and no. I was never impressed with bad language, graphical sex or violence in books, so the series is written with Teens & Young Adults in mind, with a feel-good factor. But this isn't just for kids. The Zerot, and especially Birjjikk, are despicable and their exploitations aren't shied away from. Q. Is the series complete? A. Yes. Book 6 has recently been published and I'm getting some great reviews. 1: Princess Grace of Earth 2: The Journey Home. 3: Prince Ventar of Trun 4: Planet of the Remaining 5: Prince Daviss of Nowhere 6: The Would-be Queen

Book Description
The newest, most updated book on Prince available today—now updated with information about the afterlife of his work following his untimely death. Famously reticent and perennially controversial, Prince was one of the few music superstars who remained, largely, an enigma—even up to his premature death on April 21, 2016. A fixture of the pop canon, Prince is widely held to be the greatest musician of his generation and will undoubtedly remain an inspiring and singular talent. This revised and updated second edition of this meticulously researched biography is the most comprehensive work on Prince yet published. Unlike other Prince books, this one eschews speculation into the artist's highly guarded private life and instead focuses deep and sustained attention exactly where it should be: on his work. Acclaimed British novelist and critic Matt Thorne draws on years of research and dozens of interviews with Prince's intimate associates (many of whom have never spoken on record before) to examine every phase of the musician's 35-year career, including nearly every song—released and unreleased—that Prince has recorded. Originally released in the UK in 2012, this revised and updated second US edition of Prince includes updated content regarding work released and made available after the artist’s death.. This astonishingly rich, almost encyclopedic biography is a must-have for any serious fan of Prince.

Book Description
"Prince was a gift and a genius. He showed us that we have no limits." Alicia Keys "He was the most incredibly talented artist. A man in complete control of his work from writer and musician to producer and director." Kate Bush "The most amazing performer I have ever witnessed." Joni Mitchell "He Changed The World!!" Madonna In a career that spanned five decades, Prince really did change the world. After making some of most inventive albums of the 80s - including 1999, Purple Rain, and Sign "O" The Times - he turned his attention to redefining his role in the music industry, changing his name to an unpronounceable symbol, declaring war on Warner Bros, and leading the internet revolution. When he died, on April 21 2016, the world lost one of the few artists who could truly claim to be called a genius. His legacy lives on, and will remain an inspiration for all time. Prince: Life & Times is a large format, lavishly illustrated, authoritative chronicle of his career, covering every album, every movie, and every tour. It includes profiles of key collaborators, assesses his various business dealings, and details his many side-projects - on stage, on record, on screen, and beyond. This updated second edition includes detailed information on Prince's activity from 2008 to 2016.

Book Description
A warm and surprisingly real-life biography, featuring never-before-seen photos, of one of rock’s greatest talents: Prince. Neal Karlen was the only journalist Prince granted in-depth press interviews to for over a dozen years, from before Purple Rain to when the artist changed his name to an unpronounceable glyph. Karlen interviewed Prince for three Rolling Stone cover stories, wrote “3 Chains o’ Gold,” Prince’s “rock video opera,” as well as the star’s last testament, which may be buried with Prince’s will underneath Prince’s vast and private compound, Paisley Park. According to Prince's former fiancée Susannah Melvoin, Karlen was “the only reporter who made Prince sound like what he really sounded like.” Karlen quit writing about Prince a quarter-century before the mega-star died, but he never quit Prince, and the two remained friends for the last thirty-one years of the superstar’s life. Well before they met as writer and subject, Prince and Karlen knew each other as two of the gang of kids who biked around Minneapolis’s mostly-segregated Northside. (They played basketball at the Dairy Queen next door to Karlen’s grandparents, two blocks from the budding musician.) He asserts that Prince can’t be understood without first understanding ‘70s Minneapolis, and that even Prince’s best friends knew only 15 percent of him: that was all he was willing and able to give, no matter how much he cared for them. Going back to Prince Rogers Nelson's roots, especially his contradictory, often tortured, and sometimes violent relationship with his father, This Thing Called Life profoundly changes what we know about Prince, and explains him as no biography has: a superstar who calls in the middle of the night to talk, who loved The Wire and could quote from every episode of The Office, who frequented libraries and jammed spontaneously for local crowds (and fed everyone pancakes afterward), who was lonely but craved being alone. Readers will drive around Minneapolis with Prince in a convertible, talk about movies and music and life, and watch as he tries not to curse, instead dishing a healthy dose of “mamma jammas.”
