Kneel Or Die

And since the story has only been around since last November, I can’t answer your titles question as that harkens to metaphysical questions and stuff.

One of the best book I've read in a long time!!!

I just lost an entire weekend reading the six books that are out. This book was so good, thank you so much for writing these and for how fast you get them out.
***
Michael - Thank you Chelle Weston! I have to admit that now, with six books out when fans mention that they shot gunned the books, I shake my head in AWE.
It’s the dog, isn’t it? My wife is SO going to crow that Ashur is the reason that everyone keeps reading. Even if that isn’t true.
She is in Global Marketing, EVERYTHING is open to interpretation and painting the picture that tweaks it to highlight her.
Wait, that’s not the marketing in her, that’s her Southern California (Hollywood) roots showing ;-)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
Damn. I hope she never reads these.
I’ll be so f#cked.
I can trust you not to spill the secret, right??? Right!??
Yup… I’m f#cked.

For a good time, call ... up this series on your ebook reader

YAY!!!! It's a true Kindle Unlimited series! Boo! My "Before you go" ratings and reviews never published. So... I'm posting on the main Amazon site.
Vampires, shifters, aliens, black ops, romance, heroic civil servants, blood, gore, guts, swashbuckling, Nazi plots, sexy ladies, hunky men, martial arts, etc.etc.etc.... There's even pod people (one of my favorite ongoing storyline riffs). And yes, kitchen sinks get honorable mention. I'm sure there's more 'cause this series is Saturday afternoon matinee cheering and clapping fun times good. Yep, been there, done that, and saw those.
Multiple reads-worthy (and I keep finding more to like) = 5stars.
Okay... shameless proselytizing plug... I'll read anything Garon Whited and/or V. St. Clair writes. Bless them both for releasing their work on Kindle Unlimited.

Michael - Ah, and now we come to Geezette. Talk about a little troublemaker! Wait, I’m sure I’m not talking about THIS Geezeete. Nope, couldn’t be ;-).
Really? For a good time call? Bathroom humor? :-P
Thank you, Geezeete for making so many fun-ass comments and keeping the forums lively! May you always be engaged and enthused in everything, your energy is INFECTIOUS!

hate how much i like this series.. i feel compeled to stop whatever i am doing and read

i read the 1st book because it was only 99 cent and its premise was interesting. iread the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and finily the 5th book because they were so enjoyable !!! i read them one after the other. it was hard to put down, a fact my wife can attest. i usually read si fi or fantasy. every once in a while i read zombie or paranormal. i truley enjoyed the mix of action, hummor and character interaction. the writter is apparently a prolific writter, so you don't have to wait a long time between books. i consider this a plus, especialy if you enjoy the writtin style. so now i know that i will get his next book sooner rather than later.

Michael - Thank you Julumoo! I hope you enjoyed this latest addition to our little universe of kick-ass and F3ck the names book that should have been called ‘Die…Die…Die…Die you terrorist scumbag…Die… Die… Fine, you kneel!”

Love having you as a fan and keep on reading brother!

Fun Read!!
ByR. Wellson February 23, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition
This whole series is really lots of fun! I am an avid reader of scifi and fantasy and have been for over 50 years. I've read all kinds from really good to really bad. This series is best described as being similar to a roller coaster. You look at it as you walk up and you have a good idea what you are going to experience - some moments of relative calm as you are pulled to the top and then exhilaration as you whip through the snaky curves and hills of the ride. Yes, you expected most of it (is there really anything new in literature?) but you still get the fun wild ride you were hoping for and with a few twists and surprises that actually work well and provide an interesting take on the urban fantasy myths.
This series is not great literature and doesn't pretend to be. The author is cranking out the story at a really staggering rate and it does show in the editing. For me, this was not a significant detractor, although it did cost the one star. The language in the book is not really suitable for those with more delicate sensibilities in that area. It's really rough, but honestly not really unexpected or inappropriate within the setting of the book. Frankly, I've heard much worse living aboard ship serving in the Navy in the normal course of living within a military environment.
This first book does have some slow sections due to world and character building. It is an "Origin" story, after all, and a fair amount of this first book is devoted to that purpose. Consider this review as including the series published as of date of review - books 1 through 6. I've read them all and the series is really lots of fun, brings some interesting twists to the table, and you don't have to wait a year for the next book.
***
Michael - Thank you R. Wells! I appreciate your roller coaster metaphor and after 50 freaking years, I imagine there isn’t much you haven’t read! If I can keep fans like you interested? I might have a chance doing this another… (7 … from 21… carry the 1…grab the calculator) 14 books? Plus others?
Damn. There SO much I want to do :-)
I bet we did better on the editing with this book!
Peace brother, and carry on cussing.

The series is great and this from an avid romance reader
ByAmazon Customeron February 23, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition
The series is great and this from an avid romance reader. I have read some pretty graphic novels and its nice to have everything I love in a novel and not just make it eye porn. I like to read a good story and this series gives me everything I love. Adventure, Action, Romance the sex isn't the main focus. Sure there a some steam but its light steam. The sex in not the main focus. This series has caught my attention because Death Becomes Her is a movie also that I found interesting and I read it and I was hooked. And no its nothing like that movie. The title just caught my eye. I was not dissappointed. I Love it going onto book 5 now. I love a good plot and a great plot I got.
***
Michael - “And not just make it eye porn”… HAHAHAHAHAHA… Man, I loved this comment! Plus, having an avid romance reader? That made my morning! I’m not sure why, it’s just I figured that those who loved romance wouldn’t find this story to your liking. That’s all.
Now, I’ll start crafting a careful strategy to put out so many books that I’ll hit almost every genre and pull them all into Bethany
Anne’s charismatic web of delight with little ‘high literature’ value.
Just all of us having a damned good time. Except the bad people.
Screw those guys.

Great series!
Bydstars2797on February 26, 2016

Love the series! Pretty good military science fiction with a mix of paranormal. As the series progresses it's getting more into sci-fi which works very well for me. It has Navy, guns, and a bad ass heroine. What more do you want. Start with number one and I guarantee you will be thru the rest as fast as you can. Enjoy it.
***
Michael - Thank you dstars2797! I admit, the books are mutts, no specific genre to stick it in. By the time we are done? It will be called a classic! (Ok, wiping tears of humor, I don’t think we can sell that!)

A unique twist on an old legend! This is written well and is edited much better than most. I really enjoyed getting to know the character and look forward to watching her mature.

Michael - Thank you Cecelia! My appreciation and you must have received one of the latest versions! Still working on upgrading (help has been accepted) ;-)
She matures all right. Heck, she has tons of time to do this!

Fantastic
ByKindle Customeron February 27, 2016

Honestly, I thought I would read an amusing story and that my interest would not go past the first book. I WAS SO WRONG. While the language was a little over the top, the storyline is fast and riveting, the characters have you cheering for them, and I couldn't stop going from book to book. I can't wait for the next one.
***
Michael - Thank you KC! Man, if the language was only ‘a little over the top’, you MUST have had some salty people in your life! I was truly going for WAY WAY over the top.
No bland food was going to be served at this buffet. The spice was going to be put into the food and customers would either like or or… well… comment that the language was over the top.
There, foot totally stuck in my mouth, now LOL

Welcome to the BIG Leagues. A truly magical story teller who takes you into his world.
ByRobertFon February 28, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition
I read daily and very quickly so when I gave this series a chance I was HOOKED by chapter 2. I love the action, the no-nonsense approach, and how the author makes you invest in the characters. He see's them as actual people and takes you right along with him for the incredible ride. For a book that wasn't edited and thrown "out in the wild" I was blown away. Welcome to my short list of anxiously awaiting new books Mr. Anderle!
Are there some errors? Sure - but I found them to be minor and not very many that I recall. It never took my out of the flow of the story.
Foul Language? Yes - But I'm a sailor and find the use of a strong adjective is satisfying. The main character finds it that way as well.
Violence - Yes- When it happens you WANT it to happen to the person receiving it.
***
Michael - Thank you Robert F! Dang, there are a LOT of sailor fans. I wonder why the other services aren’t reading (or raising their hands)? Is that because I don’t mention them so much? I think I remember a pilot… No Army…
Certainly no teeny-bopper-we-need-sparkly-angsty-vampire lovers have raised their hands, either.
That reason completely eludes me.
Not.
I’m happy to be on your list, Robert!

Highly original, with a female lead to die for
ByBobby R. Treaton February 28, 2016
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
The first third of the book had truly ATROCIOUS editing, but it got better, and the story is fun.
The vampire leader, Michael, was developed JUST enough, without dwelling on the past or belaboring details. The way Bethany was recruited based on Michael's concept of honor — and his need for a fighter — felt original. Things took an unexpected turn when it came time to turn her, and it suddenly became a QUITE different story. Bethany was jarringly talented at sudden violence, with not enough buildup — but even so, she's a kick-ass heroine worth watching. I'll read the next book, and I suspect the editing will continue to get better. If the author would like help with that, I sometimes do it for free.
All in all, I highly recommend the book, and I'll continue with the series unless it takes a wrong turn in the next book.
***
Michael - Thank you Bobby R! Dude, accurate, but ouch ;-) (yes, deserved as well).
Ok, my turn. You do remember the whole set of comments that her Army father put her through martial arts as a kid and that story? That no one in her ‘black’ group wanted to fight her, right? Multiple times mentioned that she had a past decade and a half of experience fighting? That the reason she wasn’t considered a ‘top’ martial expert was her female upper body strength?
Not trying to defend the work as the author, but I hope as a fan. As an author I would have to question my work as the reader is always right!
Until, like, he isn’t.
I’ll just have to ask the group what the consensus is on this one. You bring up an interesting point in that I ‘thought’ I made it clear with her background so we wouldn’t have the problem you mention.
Damn. I’ll maybe go back and rework that sometime.

Michael Anderle has a fun and very readable way of writing
ByAmazon Customeron February 28, 2016
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Am really enjoying this book. Michael Anderle has a fun and very readable way of writing. The reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 is due to a section that he mentions a few times in this series which for me was really distracting "she shook her head yes" but other than that I have enjoyed this book and even bought the next one in the series. Well done.
***
Michael - Thank you AC! Dang, I blush every time I read the whole ‘shaking - nodding’ comments. I so screwed this up! I never paid that much attention to it as a reader (obviously). Wow, it is the simple things that catch a person sometimes.
