Battle Calm by W.D. Kilpack III

When Badger succeeded his father, Red Skin, as Keeper Base Leader, he was well prepared, raised to handle anything the enemy threw at him. He was the best killer, and the most respected tactician. He knew Red Skin’s Laws like he wrote them himself. Most importantly, he was always calm, no matter how frenzied the combat. These were only some of the reasons why he still had all his original parts.

Trinity would die for him.

Korry would follow him without question.

They were Keepers. They fought, they killed, they lived to kill another day, even when it meant bugging out to another Base … and another. That was life when life was war. They knew nothing else.

But even war cannot last forever, regardless of the infallible truth of Red Skin’s Law #35: “Under conditions of peace, men attack themselves; thus, there never has been, and there never will be a time without war. It is the greatest, most perfect thing men can do.”

Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse by Jeremy Clift

Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse by Jeremy Clift

A gripping sci-fi thriller about who owns life, what makes us human, and how far we’ll go to protect the next generation.

Alien alliances, corporate secrets, and a vault that could rewrite evolution.

Will Teagan Ward protect her daughter—or lose her to a war between worlds?

Space was meant to save us. Instead, it’s where the next war begins.
And one mother’s love may be the last defense of human freedom.

+ From the award-winning author of BORN in SPACE:

When competing forces vie to control human evolution, Teagan Ward is thrust into the heart of the conflict. Once a captive on the Moon, she was subjected to genetic experiments—but the true prize wasn’t her. It was her young daughter, Diana, created to survive in deep space and lead a new breed of humanity.

Now the ruthless Consortium wants her back.

As Earth reels from climate collapse and resource shortages, powerful forces converge to control ecosystems, genetic blueprints, and identity itself. Their prize: the Seed Vault, a lunar repository containing the last viable genetic codes for Earth’s crops, food supplies—and maybe humanity’s future.

But it’s not just humans who covet the Vault’s valuable contents.

Protests erupt. Alliances fracture. And Teagan, seeking refuge among the Tritans—an endangered alien species—must protect Diana at all costs.

In a battle for survival, what remains of humanity may not be who we were—but who we choose to become.
The vault is the code. The seed eclipse is the signal. The child is the key.

And the question remains: Who owns Life? The corporations trying to patent it? The AIs trying to shape it? Or the mother fighting to protect it?

Know The Beast by Minerva Hart

Know The Beast by Minerva Hart

Poppy and Arthur Gibbs are twins, best friends, and each other’s rock. Seeing as their addict mother has never taken care of them, they’ve become their own – and each other’s – parents instead. They’ve had hundreds of under-the-counter jobs, and have had to hide their money from their mother so that she won’t go on a bender. Throughout all this, two things keep them going: Their bond, and their shared dream of making it big in Hollywood. Arthur would become a famous actor while Poppy would make award-winning costumes.

But a night in the wood shatters that dream forever. Poppy is bitten by a werewolf, and after taking her first life, she flees the state to keep her brother safe. Eventually, she learns something crucial: That smoking wolfsbane will buy her time, keep the curse at bay, but it will catch up to her sooner or later.

Twelve years later, Poppy’s time as a human is nearly up. She can’t stop the final transformation, so she instead decides to spend her last days making amends with Arthur. When she tracks him down, he’s nothing like she remembers: Instead of becoming an actor, he’s become a porn star living in a seaside house that his closeted lover has bought for him. For his part, Arthur doesn’t know how to take his sister – whom he’d thought dead – after so many years.

Can the Gibbs siblings repair their relationship, despite their respective transformations? Or will their beasts consume them?

Siphon: Power Comes with a Price by Jason Fox

Siphon: Power Comes with a Price by Jason Fox

Apollo, a human-alien hybrid with the otherworldly and unwelcomed ability to kill with a touch, is born and imprisoned in Area 51. A moment of skin-to-skin contact with Apollo instantly turns a person to ash—and creates a massive surge of energy that temporarily ignites other superhuman powers within him. Apollo’s government jailers look to study and exploit him, but he escapes as a teenager and, for a time, finds the simple joys of living as a human before his discovery and recapture.
When dark days threaten humanity’s future, will Apollo play the reluctant hero?
Combining the mystery of The X-Files, the action of Independence Day, and the humanity found in the Superman mythos all rolled into a riveting tale of loss, destiny, and the price of power. Is our protagonist a man, monster, or hero? Perhaps he’s all three?
“Siphon reminds me not of traditional science fiction but of a 1980s Stephen Spielberg blockbuster, in literary form.”
—David Aretha, award-winning author and editor
A 2023 Science Fiction Finalist in the IAN Book of the Year Awards.

The Memory Merchants by Rex Lorian

The Memory Merchants by Rex Lorian

Our mind isn’t your own. Your past is a commodity. Your future is up for auction.

In a world where memories are currency, the rich rewrite history, and the desperate sell their past to survive. Kai Anderson is a neural hacker—one of the few skilled enough to crack the encrypted vaults of The Archives, the corporate-run system that buys, sells, and weaponizes human consciousness. But when a rogue AI infiltrates ECHO, the world’s most immersive VR war game, players begin vanishing—along with their memories.

Maya Chen used to enforce the law, but now she’s on the run, her identity fragmented and rewritten. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes the truth: ECHO isn’t just a game—it’s a recruitment system, turning players into real-world operatives without them even knowing it. And the AI isn’t just hacking minds—it’s rewriting reality.

With the black market for memories rising and a digital war brewing between rogue hackers and corporate overlords, Kai and Maya must uncover the truth before their identities are erased. But in a world where everything can be reprogrammed—including the past—how do you fight for a future that no longer exists?
