Here’s your chance to get the complete series boxed set in one place!

You thought you understood the Zoo? I’m here to tell you it’s so much more than anyone ever thought!

HE WAS NOT PREPARED.

Born from the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle

Fountain of Youth, or Valley of Death?

While eating his supper of microwave popcorn, PhD student-genius Salinger Jacobs is grabbed from his apartment in California, stuck on a C-130 military plane and sent to the Sahara Desert to witness the reality of the ZOO for himself.

With the life expectancy of untrained scientists working inside the ZOO measured in hours, he has a lot to learn.

Fast.

First order of business?

How do you shoot a gun, and just HOW MUCH is that plant worth?

The government needs the best of the best military and scientific minds working out how to pull the secrets from the ZOO, while keeping the deadly fauna and flora in check.

There is one major problem, Salinger doesn’t even have a PhD.

If he can stay alive long enough, he might be able to afford something besides packaged microwave popcorn to eat.

THAT IS A BIG IF.

This Boxed Set includes all eight books in the BIRTH OF HEAVY METAL Series

Silent Death by Michael Anderle

Silent Death by Michael Anderle

“Vickie, would you mind answering that?” Taylor asked, soldering gun already in hand and glasses in place to keep him from blinding himself.

“Sure,” she said, picking the receiver up from the cradle. “Who the hell has a landline these days?”

“We the hell do,” Taylor grumped. “Answer the phone.”

He could almost hear her eyes rolling as she pressed the receiver to the side of her head. “McFadden’s Mechs, how can I help you?”

It wasn’t a great name, but he wasn’t going to be complaining, turning to his work, but keeping an ear out for the conversation, or the one side of it that he could hear.

“What?” Vickie asked. “No, I’m not a secretary. Why, are you a janitor? I mean, yeah, all janitors are men, right, so all men must be janitors, are you kidding me right now?”

Taylor raised an eyebrow. Maybe work could wait. He wanted to hear what Vickie had to say to whomever was calling her.

“Yes, it was a sexist question, thanks for asking,” Vickie replied. “Now, do you want to try again? Hi, this is Vickie from McFadden’s Mechs, how can I help you not be a sexist a-hole this afternoon?”

Well, that was one way to go about it.

Taylor could hear the man on the other line laughing, which was better than them getting offended and hanging up, sure, but Taylor pushed himself up from where he was working and walking over to where she was still on the phone.

Special Agent Niki Banks has called in a favor, and now Taylor has a young hacker with an attitude as an employee. Along with new monsters to kill, a business to get off the ground, a relationship with an annoying FBI Handler to … deal with Taylor is becoming a surrogate male figure for a role he didn’t want.

But may be the best man for the job.

What Branches Grow by T.S. Beier

About What Branches Grow by T.S. Beier:

A boldly imagined, exhilarating quest through post-apocalyptic America, where human nature is torn between the violent desperation to survive and the desire to forge connection.

Thirty-five years ago, the world was ravaged by war. Delia, driven from her home in Savannah by loss, travels North in search of a future. Gennero is tortured by his violent past and devotion to his hometown. Ordered to apprehend Delia, he follows her into the post-apocalyptic landscape. The wasteland is rife with dangers for those seeking to traverse it: homicidal raiders, dictatorial leaders, mutated humans, and increasingly violent and hungry wildlife. Together, along with an old man and his dog, they venture into the dangerous unknown.

What Branches Grow is an unflinching depiction of life after civilization, where, above all else, trust is the hardest thing to achieve and give. The survivors have an audacious dream of a better life, but their quest may end up being a fruitless endeavour in a world openly hostile to hope.

The Twin Paradox

About The Twin Paradox:

“This is skillfully structured, suspenseful, handsomely descriptive, mysterious science-fiction. It moves fast and brims with humor and wonder about morality and the nature of genius and the self. Once again, and amazingly enough, Charles Wachter manages to meet us where we are in the uncertain, ever-shifting moment.” Wesley Morris, Critic at Large, The New York Times

“Science. Twists. Big ideas. The Twin Paradox has it all.” A.G. Riddle, international bestselling author of The Atlantis Gene.

“It’s a rollercoaster of fun.” Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better

With ten years passing for every three minutes on a remote stretch of Texas coast, planes fall out of the sky, evolved species are on the hunt, and people die inside one of the most vicious ecosystems ever grown–all a result of the government’s efforts to slow down time.

A lot can happen in ten years. That’s the point. Governments are always racing for supremacy, for scientific breakthroughs, for technological advantages–and these things take time.

Until something goes wrong.

With the grounded yet massive world building of READY PLAYER ONE, thrilling scientific questions of JURASSIC PARK, and the time-bending teen drama of BEFORE I FALL, Wachter’s THE TWIN PARADOX is a brilliantly plotted tale that is both intimate and massive, relentless yet deliberate, and explores the themes of self-acceptance, self- confidence, and natural selection in a richly hued and unforgettable world. Ultimately the eternal question of Nature versus Nurture is boiled down into this fast-paced thriller told over the course of five days and culminates in one single question:

Do we get to choose who we are?

MORE PRAISE FOR THE TWIN PARADOX 

“… a worthy addition to the genre that Michael Crichton perfected. The summer techno-thriller.” Jake Halpern, New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize Winner 

“It’s a cracking adventure and gallops along at break-neck speed.”  Jonathan Oliver, Author The Language of Beasts

“Electric, insane, and crackling with science, and characters you’ve never encountered. Read it, share it. You won’t forget it.” Dick Cook, Former Chairman, Walt Disney Studios 

“The Twin Paradox is one of the best science thrillers to come along since Andy Weir’s The Martian.”  Chris Weitz, Screenwriter, Rogue One 

“This book is filled with surprises, intrigue, and lots of dark fun. Loved it.”  Jon Turteltaub, Director, The Meg & National Treasure

Void Templar: MEDJAY (Arc One) by Edmund A.M. Batara

Void Templar: MEDJAY (Arc One) by Edmund A.M. Batara

REVISED EDITION. JULY 2020.
(Changes made to internal images)

“THEY SAY THE COSMOS IS A VOID,
DISTURBED BY A FEW ISLANDS OF MATTER. THEY’RE WRONG.”
– Captain Elric Main of the Light Security Corvette MEDJAY.

Humanity stands at an expansionist crossroads. Planetary systems have been colonized and exploited. Yet, even with barely fifteen percent of the Milky Galaxy fully explored, mankind had already set its sights on the Canis Galaxy, the closest galaxy.

Technology and growth have been fueled by corporate greed, with massive conglomerates now having their own domains in space. Over everything is the Interstellar Galactic Federation, composed of spacefaring companies. The very way of life and destiny of mankind are in its hands.

The Milky Way galaxy was but a stepping stone for corporate expansion. Nothing stood in humanity’s path. With such kind of rapacious competition, the usual wars and conflicts are now commonplace, with rules governing intercorporate relationships being determined by the Federation. In space, only the truly powerful survive.

But despite such galactic advances, humanity has yet to encounter another sentient lifeform. An experience that had given birth to an unwarranted arrogance in the primacy of its species.

All that is about to change. There is life out there, but not life as humanity expected it to be. Now, man’s very existence will rest in the hands of a few intrepid individuals at the edge of human space.

A Constant Jonathan by Michael Olmstead

About A Constant Jonathan by Michael Olmstead:

In the distant future, humanity has evolved the technology to listen to the whispers of the Universe itself. The Aware Universe revealed the knowledge to remake the human form, perfecting their bodies and minds, and inadvertently create their own gods.

After falling to their knees in worship of their own creations, humanity soon realized their gods were flawed and hindered with very human emotions such as greed, lust, and rage. The humans rebelled, waging the most destructive war humanity has known, the Deluge, which lasted thousands of years, washing over the populated worlds. It remade the landscape of human civilization forever, leaving it in ruins and clinging to a handful of desolate worlds and ancient, artificial habitats.

Six thousand years after the death of the last god and the end of the Deluge, a simple-minded orphan boy on a cold, barren planet receives a message in a dream. A message from a black hole…

Age of Rust

About Age of Rust:

No records show how it happened, though everyone has their beliefs as to why the golden age of man fell seven hundred years ago. Since, humanity has managed to rebuild a modest civilization from the ruins. Now a medieval war begins to ravage the land once known as America. The lives of six young men become ensnared in the violence as they serve the Eastern army. Chief among them are Tavin, the son of a respected general and Seneca, a physician drafted away from his studies.
Loved ones left at home are threatened when Kayzitt, the zealot Western officer, leads his marauders behind enemy lines. His cruel methods devastate every community he encounters and the East seems doomed to fall under its own weight as he makes a name for himself in the legends of the militaristic West.
But the six heroes notice that something has changed inside themselves. Their minds are subtly connected in a way that cannot be explained but lends them increased prowess on the battlefield. Inevitably, their skills place them on a collision course with Kayzitt that will shape the future of the nation.
Age of Rust is a tale of displaced youth, the struggle for life, and the peril of love in war-time. It is an ode to masculine vainglory and the valor in conflict as it bridges with the feminine witness of human corruption and loss of innocence.

It starts with triggering a kill switch and was to end with the death of the masses – leaving the chosen few to inherit the earth. The animated dead was not planned for, but there is no going back now… The new world order starts. Today.

Then there is the fly in the ointment. Somehow, there are survivors. These people face a dead world intent on causing them harm. And an unseen, greater danger. One that is alive and seeks to subjugate or otherwise eradicate them.

This is a story about people, with all their faults and intentions, of relationships built and betrayed, of paths to corruption and paths to redemption. This is a story about surviving the zombie apocalypse.

Chaos Drive

About Chaos Drive:

Worst. Honeymoon. Ever.

Charlotte has just been married. She was expecting some sand, some sea, and perhaps an occasional tricky decision about which cocktail to have next.
So why is she in a crazy parallel universe, trying to fight off an evil and unlikely race of deranged frogs?

Matt has just been married, too. His problems have less to do with frogs, and more to do with the strange and incredibly strong version of Charlotte who seems to have taken the place of his wife.

Both of them just want to get back to their own reality. But when the Universe itself starts trying to expel the deranged knot of confusion which their lives have become, Matt and Charlotte find themselves on the run not just from bloodthirsty frogs, but from reality itself. Why has this happened? What does it have to do with the strangely feline personality who has gone missing? And what the hell is the mysterious Chaos Drive, anyway?
