    Michael Anderle (ok, weird talking about myself in the 3rd person) (1967-Hopefully a long time from NOW) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble - a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read!

    Ok, done with all of that 3rd person stuff.

    In the first 20 years, I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years I have enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, I've been blessed with creating The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan loved, collection of stories.

    The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!

    Charles Tillman writes stories in multiple subgenres of Fantasy and Science Fiction. He has always been an avid reader and in 2018 answered a call for short story submissions and his story was accepted for an anthology.

    Hi

    Thank you for stopping by. I suppose I should start by telling you a little about me

    I have lead an eclectic life, to say the least. Fresh out of high school, three days after graduation, I was at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas for basic training. After basic, I spent a few years as a Loadmaster on C-130 aircraft in the MS Air National Guard. It was a great gig for a young man and I got to see a whole lot of the world as a guard bum. I had a blast and got paid to do it.

    Realizing it was time to settle down and get a "real" job I spent the next twenty-six plus years working in law enforcement. I saw the best and the worst in humanity during those years. The things that one human being is capable of doing to another is mindblowing. I won more battles than I lost and came out on the other end with some scars but mostly intact and most importantly...Retired.

    During those years reading Fantasy and Science Fiction was my escape from reality and my sanity saver. I read everything I could find that had magic or space ships in it. The farther away from the real world the better.

    In 2018 I answered a call for short story submissions in an existing urban fantasy universe created by two authors who were opening their world up for us fans to play in. In late 2018 my story was accepted and on April 16, 2019, I became a published author thanks to Michael Anderle and Martha Carr's generosity in allowing me to write in their world.

    That was the first but most assuredly not the last story that I will write. I am currently working on a couple of projects that are the kind of books I like, and hope you will too, to read.

    Thank you for stopping by and keep a lookout for things to come.

    Charles

I really liked this series about Akio, Yuko and their friends after the World’s Worst Day Ever. (See the original Kurtherian Gambit series and its spin-offs set on earth after Bethany Ann leaves the solar system for context.) Charles Tillman does a wonderful job bringing Akio’s personal story and character to life. While no more explicit than the other KG books, we finally meet Akio’s love, a man named Kenjii who was lost to him for many years.

Although I’ve enjoyed the plot lines and humor of most of the spin-offs, this is definitely one of the best written, with more substance and character development than most. It handily avoids wooden writing, plodding plot progression and using snark that’s too shallow and predictable to maintain interest in the characters, all of which afflict some of the other LMBPN books.

If you loved the original series, you’ll probably really like this one. As with that one, the secondary characters are as interesting as the main ones. The humor, both snark and practical jokes, are more sparse but definitely funny. Made me laugh aloud several times.

Holy moly, what a fantastic end to this trilogy...or is it? So many smiles, laughs and then tears have been wrung from me while reading this. As a huge fan of Akio and his Elite from when they forced joined BA, I have been curious about all of them. Not to be a demanding child or anything, but I want more! I want to know what Akio was doing when TH and Char would message him and he would have them hold. I want backstory to how the elite were trapped. I want to see Michael's return through Akio's eyes. I even want to follow him to space and reading the details of his spy exploits rather than just hear the end results. I also want all of that for Yuko and Eve! Not to be demanding or anything Mr. Tillman lol. Mr. Anderle did an amazing job bringing Akio to life and was gracious to let you give him breath and a more complete personality, what a gift you have both given us readers!

Again, just a really good story. Well written and I love the action scenes, they are wonderfully vicious! Characters like these, when they're written so that you worry about how a fight will turn out, or you can see the disgustingly filthy bad guy and you hope that he dies slowly and painfully, they make a book for me. I'm a visual person in that I have a movie rolling in my head along with the books, and I've had a great "movie" experience with 'Retribution'. Hope you enjoy it too.

Having read all three sequentially is unusual for me. I usually read out of sequence due to availability issues. The action was fast-paced and the weapons usage was great. Having a background in martial arts and many years of watching the Military Channel it was rewarding to see ancient hand weapons to modern firearms and futuristic weapons (pucks,pods,Black Eagles and Eve) used throughout three stories.Now for the emotional aspect, you guys have put yourselves on my short list of authors who can make my allergies act up so bad that my eyes water and my throat gets so dry O cannot swallow. As a card carrying old school man who is six foot one tall and two hundred twenty five pounds I refuse to admit I cried when Kenjii died. I loved the humorous interplay between the characters and putting Mr. Miyagi in the Sims was only surpassed by the resetting the limits for Seki's time in the sims.Thank you to the authors and please continue telling Akio's story.

I love this book and the telling of Akio's time before he became a vampire was something I had longed for. My wife has not read it yet but knows most of the story because I cried. When she heard me crying she asked me why so I summed up the 3 books for her and now it's her turn to read these stories and cry herself. I'm somewhat of a romantic person and if I've been even close to a similar situation, I identify with it and get lost. Fortunately there are more books to read.

Tillman brought Akio, Yuko and “young” Eve to life masterfully. Now I can’t wait to read more! So many new characters were developed that I’m hopeful we’ll see more of them - Horst and Abel especially. I’ll have to reread Michael’s and Terry’s journeys just to get additional fixes of the Akio of back then again. Knowing his story will add so much more depth to the rereads. And then of course, I’ll switch back to Anderle’s latest antics with the newest batch of Rangers. Will be pre-ordering as soon as the the Akio’s series is announced.

Surely I’m not the only one who rereads different portions of the series to find those little tidbits you missed in the first (and second) reads? 🤓

Like many avid readers of the KG and BA universe, I’ve come to crave reading about each and everyone of the inhabitants of the stories. Their adventures, trials and tribulations, and even the highs and lows of their daily lives all satisfy my need to know them better.

And so it is with Akio Revelations. In this third book, we learn so much about all of of the central characters. The author has done a superb job of telling the reader so much about each person that they simply become real people in real situations. The action is always thrilling yet totally believable. The science always feels right.

No spoilers for this review, so I simply say “Well done!” and hope that Book 4 might be under consideration.

Die Bücher sind phantastisch👍
Ich kann sie nur wärmstens empfehlen. Es sollte einem nur klar sein, dass die übergreifende Geschichte nicht mit dem 6. Teil endet. Diese Reihe erklärt, was Yoku, Akio und Eve in der Zeit auf der Erde erlebt haben, in der Queen Bethany Anne und die anderen Charaktere im Kutherian Gambit Universe gegen die Kutherianer vorgehen.

Zwischen KGU 19 und KGU 20 empfehle ich folgende Bücher in folgender Reihenfolge zu lesen:
als Teil 19,1 -> Terry Henry Walton Chronicles 1-6,
als Teil 19,25 -> Akio Revelations 1-5,
als Teil 19,5 -> Terry Henry Walton Chronicles 7-9,
als Teil 19,6 -> The Boris Chronicles 4,
als Teil 19,75 -> Akio Revelations 6.

The last story in this trilogy is full of emotions: joy, laughter, determination, sadness, deep pain, and hope. Akio’s story needed to be told, and it has been well told. It has been an adventure, and I hope we see more of Akko and his team from before he rejoins the Queen Bitch.

I am delighted to be reading the adventures by authors ,who are associated with Michael in their excellent adaptation of events following the departure from Earth of Queen Bethany Ann. Those who volunteered to remain behind are an integral part of the series, in preparation for their safe return to an habitual world with a safe future.
