Bone Rider

Reward Yourself

I initially decided to give it a try--new author, no ratings or reviews to speak of--because the storyline was just too unique to pass up. I instantly became invested in, of all things, the alien armor suit named McClane. Shortly after McClane ran into his host I started to like Riley and not long after the rest of the gang: Misha, Andrej, and Kolya.

BTW I kept saying Cola in my mind until about page one-hundred fifty something--not on purpose Besides becoming invested in these well fleshed-out characters and interesting sidekicks, I was also impressed without how skilled J. Fally was at making the character's flaws work. My view on what is right and wrong is pretty much black and white with a little shaded gray area. I didn't think I'd overcome the dislike of Misha's 'day job' but as I came to know him, and through his regard for Riley, I came to appreciate the hard life that had forged him and couldn't even dislike him for the profession he'd chosen.

Misha was ultimately more than his 'career'. I forgave him misdeeds as Riley forgave him. I also enjoyed every edge-of-your-seat action sequence, tender moments from men forged of granite, the deeply flawed but still lovable characters, the peppering of humor throughout, and the human conviction and passion that drove each character to do what he or she did. Despite the death toll there was no villain in this story, There were only fallible humans, and well, one Bone Rider I hope to read about in the future.

Bone Rider Share on. Select format eBook Paperback. I had a love-hate relationship with this book. Even though McClane and Riley had some sexual experiences with one another it was more like enhanced masturbation if you ask me , it didn't really compare to the visceral emotions between Riley and Misha. This relationship is kind of complicating to describe. And okay, Riley does love McClane, but I like to think of it as a best friend kind of love.

So I can see how people are drawing a triangle out of this. I'm moving on, since I'm having a hard time articulating the weirdness of my feelings on this relationship The author was setting things up: The battlefield violence is easy to follow, well written, and is not gory enough to gross the more light hearted readers. It kept me on the edge of my seat.

I was worried that the romance would be shoved towards the back door, since it took so long for the main couple to meet, then some more time to reconcile. But boy, nothing makes romance blossom like a mushroom cloud than one reignited during a battlefield. I wished there was more a sequel, pretty please? I will definitely keep my eyes out for more from this author in the future. This was awesome, what a fun, emotional ride!

I admit, I had some slowdowns here and there, sci fi and mobsters, for that matter isn't really my favorite thing, but once it finally grabbed me again, I could not put it down. I loved "McClane" from the very start. He was so unique and funny. I also loved Riley, and was surprised to find myself loving Misha and his merry band of enforcers.

Bone Rider reads more like a big budget action flick, than most books I've read. You get a LOT of POV switches, showing you pieces from everyone involved in all sides of the story, not just our main characters. You see the Army, the military officials, all sides of the ship crash and the aftermath, and the author let the reader see every aspect of the story, making us feel for every side. While you love McClane and Riley, and want them to get away, you also understand the government's fear, and why they fight so hard to recover a bit of alien tech.

Once I got to the halfway point, I was grabbed fully, and read straight through, til 6 am. I only wonder now where this author has been, this can NOT be a first effort! And I can't wait to see what comes next, whether it's more in this world, or something completely new. View all 3 comments. Jan 21, Ula'ndi Hart rated it it was amazing Shelves: I have absolutely no regrets! This was so good! I have only one compliant. There Overall book rating: There should have been at least one or two more chapters.

Just to round everything off in detail. The story was unique to me, I loved the characters and I could really do with a series in the story.

It has so much potential! View all 11 comments. Nov 06, Sunny rated it it was amazing Shelves: So original, with suspense that kept me on the edge of my seat. The tension would be killing me, and I couldn't bear to read on, then something would happen that would make me laugh and my heart rate would settle back into a normal range. Funny, intense, and sexy.

So many great scenes, from playing darts to the diner to the compound. So many great emotions, especially Misha's vulnerability with Riley. And so many great details, like McClane's claws when he got nervous. I loved it all. At one point, toward the end, I thought the author might throw in something that I did not want to happen. I was getting all anxious and upset, but it was all for naught. Feb 01, Katerina rated it really liked it. I had really absolute no idea what to expect.

Perhaps a hairraising alien-military-mafia-action-love-story written with bonecrazy humor? There was something of everything. The interesting thing is that the author comes from Austria. And the book is available in German as well as in English. The author herself has translated this work. This is why it is the same whether you read the book in English or German. I just recommended th This is unbelievable. I just recommended this book to my husband shiver. I hope he likes it ; View all 16 comments. Jan 02, Christina added it Shelves: Round up, round down. I'm not sure yet.

How could I love something so much and hate it at the same time? Well, let me tell you. The characters and the plot get 5 stars, holes and all and there were many. But I still freakin loved it!!!! The non-stop action, the humor, and the freshness, it all kept me completely engrossed. I can ignore most of the holes, however some bugged me, like when view spoiler [ Misha and his boys left General Youn 3. I can ignore most of the holes, however some bugged me, like when view spoiler [ Misha and his boys left General Young alive in the parking garage.

No way would the mob do that. Yes, they needed him for cover but since he was out cold anyway why leave him alive as a liability? One was when they view spoiler [ opened fire in a diner parking lot jam-packed with people, using heavy explosives, and of course there were no repercussions. Yes, they did rethink that decision and go with capture first but this was not their first choice. This seemed very strange to me. I could also ignore the OTT action scenes because it was fun to read. We didn't need their back stories. We didn't need to hear from them at all! It was boring and for me deterred from the story.

It broke up the tension. I didn't feel like it moved the story forward or brought anything to it. The funny thing is, I really like all the side characters. Young was a great character and I especially liked Andrej and Koyla. Oh and I loved the dialogue. McClane is a witty little devil.

They all had their own twist on humor and individuality. There was so much camaraderie and love in this book. Each relationship was special and you could feel how much these men cared for one another. Each different and brought depth to the book. GAH, there was so much good and so much that made me smile! It saddens me because this had all the potential to be a 5 star book but I just couldn't get past the POV changes: View all 15 comments.

I really should listen when I had Jiminy Cricket in my ears whispering, " No Ami, this book is not for you, no matter how many people vouch for it " Raised a white flag. Anything with the word "alien" makes me cynical. When I read the beginning of this book, from System Six's point of view, I ended up lost. All words became just words, without meaning, went through my br I really should listen when I had Jiminy Cricket in my ears whispering, " No Ami, this book is not for you, no matter how many people vouch for it " All words became just words, without meaning, went through my brain.

If you asked me what happened in those first chapters, I wouldn't able to tell you. I just didn't understand. You said there was humor and so many quotable sentence?? I had to trust you on that because none of them registered to me. So yes, this is a case where it's MY issue not the book.

For those who like something different, buddy reading, adventure, fresh, this book is good for you. As for me, I'm just following Jiminy Cricket from now on.

Thanks for the book, Shel , sorry it's not working for me. But hey, a new material for our Split Decision section! Nov 14, John The Cosmic Wanderer rated it it was amazing.

I had to push through some points of view and voices before I could get back to the guys I wanted to hear from the most. Two hilarious, powerful, and sexy men. I loved being in their heads. I fell hard for both of them. We all have to stop running eventually—let someone into our lives and hearts.

Not an easy thing to do for some people. Some of us need a little help or push. Riley needed an out of this world jolt to the system! Nov 06, MLE rated it liked it Shelves: A good, but not great story. I thought it dragged in parts, especially the behind the scenes military stuff. I often found myself skimming the General's parts.

Butler, it seemed like there were just too many changes between characters in the narration, and it kept me from being as engaged in the plot as I would have liked. The final action sequence was a bit too over the top, and left me feeling a bit cold. It had an interesting premise, A good, but not great story.

It had an interesting premise, but I think I would have liked more of Riley and Mclean, and a little less of everyone else. It would have felt like a much tighter, and better focused story to me.

So a cowboy, an alien and three hit men walk into a bar At first I was like: I said to myself: Let's get over with it, I will read it quickly, give it two stars and say to Trix that's not for me. Now I can say one simple word: The story was perfect. The characters were well developed and I especially loved the southern hints. So if you don't know if it's for you, or if aliens is your thing - damn sure it is.

Nov 24, Kelly rated it really liked it Shelves: What a fun, crazy ride!!! I've never read anything quite like this before. It's funny, sexy and action-packed. So what kept me from giving this book five stars? Other than that I really enjoyed it and I'd love to read a sequel.
