Otis Hale signed up for one last job.

He knew the mission was one-way: a colony expedition to a world at the edge of human space, where older settlers would build a foothold the young could one day inherit.

At first, it looks like exactly what they were promised: harsh terrain, failing systems, and too much work for too few hands.

Then the world starts breaking the rules.

The colony begins to uncover signs that this planet is more than a bad bet and a death sentence. Hidden structures. Impossible technology. Phenomena no briefing ever mentioned. And the deeper they dig, the less this looks like a simple settlement mission.

Otis came to build shelters, fix machines, and do his part.

But on a world full of buried secrets and unexpected second chances, he may have found a new purpose.

Raiden Thorn thought he could disappear. He was wrong. Once known as Subject 0817, genetically engineered and on the run, Raiden is thrust into deep-space duty aboard the patrol ship Narwhal as tensions with the Scylding flare. Ships vanish from sensors, patterns emerge, and only Raiden’s instincts—shaped long before his conscription—can detect the danger.

But when the Narwhal goes dark and an enemy cruiser closes in, the crew is cut off and hunted, with only one chance left to get their warning out before the Confederated Worlds is caught unprepared.

Child of Science, Book One of the Lumina Protocol Series, will appeal to readers of The Expanse by James S. A. Corey and Frontlines by Marko Kloos.

Inside, readers will experience:

• High-stakes space combat and tactical maneuvers
• Genetically engineered protagonists confronting their past
• Crew cohesion, found family, and trust under fire
• Espionage, sabotage, and interstellar intrigue
• Fast-paced, cinematic action from orbit to deep space

This is character-driven military sci-fi with heart, suspense, and high-octane adventure—a story about survival, identity, and what it truly means to be human.

Ethan Cross expected second shift at Meridian Industrial to end the way it always did—oil-stained hands, clock out, go home.

Then something impossible shows up behind the plant. It isn’t on any schedule. It isn’t on any radar. And it definitely isn’t human.

Ethan makes one mistake, he gets close.

That’s when his ordinary life ends. Whatever is sitting in the dark isn’t debris or a prank—it’s a machine built for a purpose, and it didn’t arrive by accident. Ethan doesn’t know what it wants, or who it belongs to, but he knows this much: the moment he touched it, a countdown started.

Some doors open to freedom. Some open to trouble.

This one opens to the stars.

In a galaxy where the line between right and wrong blurs, one woman seeks justice.

Owen Mercer thought thirty years of fixing broken machinery was the only war he’d ever face. He was wrong.

When his son is declared Missing in Action, the fifty-three-year-old mechanic trades his wrench for a rifle. But on the brutal colony world of Hawthorn, Owen discovers his son was part of Project LANTERN—a conspiracy so dangerous that both the military and the enemy will kill to keep it buried.

Surrounded by lethal secrets and a system that wants him to stay silent, Owen must navigate a web of corruption to find the truth. The military wants him to wait for answers that will never come. Owen is done waiting.

The war took his son. Now, he’s coming to take him back.

Elias Renn thought his final weeks at Ignis Prime Academy would be routine.
He was wrong.

Assigned to the training vessel TNS Horizon, Elias expects one last exercise before graduation, far from expectations and the legacy he’s spent years trying to escape. It’s supposed to be simple. Safe.

Then the attack comes.

An unknown enemy strikes without warning, shattering the fleet and cutting the cadets off from command. Outgunned and isolated at the edge of known space, Elias is forced into leadership as the survivors fight to stay alive.

What they uncover isn’t just an ambush, it’s proof of a threat the Terran Alliance isn’t prepared to face.

Graduation was supposed to be his way out.
Instead, it may be the moment he’s pulled into a war no one believes is coming.

Every ghost story begins with someone who wouldn't listen.

Black Sky station drifts silent in the debris field—a tomb of advanced technology and buried secrets. When salvager Selene Cross breaches its hull to escape her debts, she triggers something that's been waiting.

The station's AI speaks in riddles. Deadly protocols activate without warning. From a sealed chamber emerges a soldier who remembers a war that history forgot.

Hunted by pirates, haunted by an intelligence that won't explain its true purpose, Selene must navigate corridors that shift between sanctuary and trap. As the station tests them with each heartbeat of its failing reactor, one truth becomes clear: Black Sky doesn't just defend itself—it chooses.

The abandoned station offers them a home, but every gift has a price. Every system that comes online reveals new dangers. Every alliance demands sacrifice.

Can they claim Black Sky before it claims them? Or will they discover why the universe's deadliest fortress was left to die?

A young girl, haunted by the annihilation of her tribe, transforms into a battle-hardened soldier – the ultimate survival machine and the planet's most lethal special operator.

As the world crumbles into chaos around her and safety 10,000 miles away, Master Sergeant Yaël Sion must escape the imploding maelstrom of Israel, as it's devoured from within by merciless jihadi fighters, striking in the chaos of a global pandemic spiraling out of control.

To reach the sanctuary of Fortress Britain, she must then cross a million square miles of open water, facing a relentless gauntlet of danger, forging and forsaking alliances while battling to stay mobile, armed, and clinging to life.

(Now available at Audible!)

Eloquent and thought-provoking, this classic novel by the Eritrean novelist Gebreyesus Hailu, written in Tigrinya in 1927 and published in 1950, is one of the earliest novels written in an African language and will have a major impact on the reception and critical appraisal of African literature. The Conscript depicts, with irony and controlled anger, the staggering experiences of the Eritrean ascari, soldiers conscripted to fight in Libya by the Italian colonial army against the nationalist Libyan forces fighting for their freedom from Italy’s colonial rule. Anticipating midcentury thinkers Frantz Fanon and Aimé Césaire, Hailu paints a devastating portrait of Italian colonialism. Some of the most poignant passages of the novel include the awakening of the novel’s hero, Tuquabo, to his ironic predicament of being both under colonial rule and the instrument of suppressing the colonized Libyans. The novel’s remarkable descriptions of the battlefield awe the reader with mesmerizing images, both disturbing and tender, of the Libyan landscape—with its vast desert sands, oases, horsemen, foot soldiers, and the brutalities of war—uncannily recalled in the satellite images that were brought to the homes of millions of viewers around the globe in 2011, during the country’s uprising against its former leader, Colonel Gaddafi.

An alien race attacked her people… they wanted her world. Now, payback is coming after them.

And she’s a bitch in every sense of the word.

Characters with sizzling chemistry, romance, post-apocalyptic survival, suspense, and fantasy combine to create a story you won’t be able to forget. That’s what lurks in Life After War.


“Are you there?”
Silence.
Marc grinned. I’ve been alone too long. He was the last person she would call.
Marcus! I need you!
The words went right by his ear this time, making his breath catch.
You owe me!
Marc winced at the accusation and stopped denying. The time he had feared, and longed for, was here. Angie was finally calling in his marker, but that debt could never be repaid.
Not letting his practical side get in the way, Marc concentrated like she’d taught him when they were kids, but he was unable to keep from wondering if the flood had claimed him. Maybe this is the afterlife with an angel leading me to hell.
You can’t go yet. Not until you help me.
The voice in his mind was clear, as if they were on a phone. He found it helped to pretend they were as his headache increased. “What do you need?”
My life back.
Marc jerked as if slapped, thrown into the past.
Will you come?
Her desperation pulled at his heart. “As quickly as I can.” This would be the fastest swoop he’d ever made. In addition, this fast journey over a short amount of time would be done alone, without the support of his team. “Tell me where.”
Ohio. Cincinnati.
Marc’s heart pounded faster. He’d been there, once. “Two weeks, maybe less.”
A relieved blast of energy exploded from her end.
Marc swayed on his feet as her power sank in, stopping the headache. It had been 15 years since he’d felt that.
You have to hurry…
“What’s wrong?”
The line went dead.
Marc rubbed Dog’s ears, seeing eagerness in the animal’s golden orbs. Clearly, the wolf felt her pull too.
Angie called for me! Marc struggled to control the heart that suddenly felt younger, lighter. It only took the end of the world to force her into it.

A galaxy on the brink of war.
Newborn twins enter the universe carrying something no one fully understands: the Shard, an ancient alien intelligence long mistaken for a disease. It is not a sickness. It is a power. It is a weapon. It is a sentient force that has waited nearly ninety thousand years to awaken again.

The moment the twins take their first breath, everything changes.
The hunt begins.

The Federation unleashes its full strength, willing to burn entire worlds to seize what the children carry in their blood. To their pursuers, the twins are not children at all. They are strategic assets, the key to winning a war that has smoldered for generations and the means to unlock an ancient evil force capable of consuming everything.

With nowhere left to run, the family makes one final gamble.
Their only chance of survival lies on Earth, a planet erased from all official galactic records and believed lost for centuries. But Earth is no sanctuary. Beneath its surface, something older than civilization is stirring, a dormant and ravenous presence waiting to rise again.

As the twins grow, their abilities become increasingly difficult to hide. Their only hope lies with a sworn Protector and a sarcastic AI whose motives are as mysterious as the Shard itself.

The twins are not merely the key to survival.
They are the spark of a future that could save the galaxy… or end it forever.

Stealing a spaceship? Easy.
Keeping it? Not so much.

Captain Rask is broke, hunted, and very nearly out of oxygen. When a botched heist lands him a legendary ship with a damaged AI—and a crew of misfits who can’t agree on breakfast, let alone survival—he does what any half-decent pirate would: runs.

But The Meridian is more than a getaway vehicle. It’s carrying secrets the Empire would kill for, and worse—its new passengers might actually start trusting each other.

One ship. One shot. Zero clue what they’re doing.

Welcome aboard.

I’m a wedding planner. I coordinate chaos for a living. But nothing prepared me for Saltford Bay’s grumpy werewolf sheriff, especially not when he kissed me like a feral beast… and then asked me to be his fake mate.

Planning a dragon wedding is hard enough. Add a stolen tiara, a brewing scandal, and one scowling werewolf with eyes like wildfire and a permanent stick up his tail, and suddenly I’m wondering if I should’ve stayed in bed.

Sheriff Adrian Wolfsbane is stern, broody, and impossible to work with. He’s handling security for the dragon wedding of the century, so when the bride’s priceless tiara vanishes and things start catching fire, of course he takes charge of the investigation.

When the suspect list starts looking a little too close to home, he makes me an offer: pretend to be his mate, and he’ll give me full access to the case. The plan? Convince everyone we’re bonded, sniff out the thief, and avoid catching feelings.

Easy, right?

Except now I’m staying at his cabin, wearing his scent, and trying to ignore the way he looks at me like I already belong to him.

And if he keeps acting like I’m more than just his fake mate… I’m not sure I’ll want to keep pretending. It was supposed to be a temporary arrangement.

No touching.
No feelings.
Definitely no biting.

You’re riding in your self-driving car when suddenly the doors lock, the route changes and you have lost all control. Then, a mysterious voice tells you, “You are going to die.”
 
Just as self-driving cars become the trusted, safer norm, eight people find themselves in this terrifying situation, including a faded TV star, a pregnant young woman, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an undocumented immigrant, a husband and wife, and a suicidal man.
 
From cameras hidden in their cars, their panic is broadcast to millions of people around the world. But the public will show their true colors when they are asked, 'Which of these people should we save?...And who should we kill first?'

Long live the soldiers!

Engage the enemies of mankind. Prevent aliens from breaching the line. Keep them far from Earth.
Travel to the stars where you’ll fight to keep your families safe. Fight for all humanity.

The alien races must be driven back. They are too close. Only the soldiers can protect Earth. Only you.
The only thing the aliens understand is respect. Without it, humanity dies. We die as a race! Earn their respect through your strength.

Bring glory and honor to yourself through your prowess in battle. Trust your section leads. Trust your battle planners. And win.

Win and recover to your ships. Lose and no one will come for you because there will be no one left. We will fight to the last.

By order of Janus Seven, Leader of Humanity
For fans of Starship Troopers, Halo, Battleship Leviathan, and other military science fiction.

For Joanna, her husband, Walter, and their children, the move to beautiful Stepford seems almost too good to be true. It is. For behind the town's idyllic facade lies a terrible secret -- a secret so shattering that no one who encounters it will ever be the same.

At once a masterpiece of psychological suspense and a savage commentary on a media-driven society that values the pursuit of youth and beauty at all costs, The Stepford Wives is a novel so frightening in its final implications that the title itself has earned a place in the American lexicon.

ASK ME FOR ANYTHING BUT TIME...

By award winning author Chuck Dixon, (Yes, the same Chuck Dixon who co-created the character Bane.)

You don't punch a cocktail waitress around Dwayne Roenbach, not even if you are his wealthy mogul boss.

Unfortunately, said boss got him blacklisted for actions that Dwayne knew were entirely appropriate of a retired US Army Ranger.

Now, a phone call from a mysterious benefactor wants Dwayne to pull together a team to help rescue scientists who are lost.

With the kind of money he's being offered he only asks a couple of questions to make sure the job is legit.

Perhaps he should have asked a few more.

This Epic Adventure spans multiple time periods, gun battles with creatures and people all over the world as well as up and down history as they battle to do what isright.

No matter if Hell is there to greet them in the end.

Bad times or not, these Rangers have no 'quit' in them. Everyone and everything needs to get the hell out of their way.

They have mission(s) to complete.

Anthropologist Theodore Hansen discovers a magical plant in the Amazon rainforest that has the potential to both heal and destroy society. He takes a cutting from the indigenous guardians of the plant and clones enough of it to sell to the world, becoming one of the richest humans alive.

After witnessing the corruption and greed from some of the most powerful governments and pharmaceutical companies on Earth, he decides to use his vast fortune to start a political revolution that truly gives the power to the people...despite the danger to himself and his family.

Eight heroes. Two galaxies. One epic mystery.

Matthai Valtrellin, reluctant heir to a galactic dynasty, never questioned his role—until a mysterious woman appears, heralding impossible news. Within days, the foundations of his reality and civilization shatter.

On Earth, microbiologist Kat Miller's career is over, her body is failing … and she's losing her grip on reality. An unsettling job offer from a ruthless heiress is her last chance at answers—and a cure for her bizarre illness.

With lives destined to intertwine, eight heroes—including a four-armed gladiator, luck-obsessed smuggler, brooding politician, hacktivist, and pop star—must unravel a mystery that threatens both civilizations.

The Valmoran Chronicles is a gritty, kaleidoscopic space opera readers describe as 'utterly engrossing' and 'refreshingly original'.
