About Bad Luck Charlie by Scott Baron:

Charlie had all the luck. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the good kind.
Thrown through a wormhole into a distant galaxy, he found himself stranded in a world powered not by technology, but by what seemed very much like magic. And a realm inhabited not just by aliens, but one teeming with pirates, space vampires, and even dragons. It was beyond even his wildest dreams of first contact, but the poor spaceship engineer’s day would soon go from bad to worse in a land far, far from home.

New Eden by Kishore Tipirneni

About New Eden by Kishore Tipirneni

“One of the best hard sci-fi books I’ve read in years . . .”
“Mind boggling. New Eden will change the way you view the universe and life itself.”

After the untimely death of his mentor, Berkeley physicist Joshua Andrews has dedicated himself to finishing his mentor’s life work: creating entangled particles that can communicate faster than light. When scientific journalist Rachael Miller comes to interview him at his lab, they make an astounding discovery, one as ancient as the universe itself.

During the early moments of the Big Bang, entangled particles were created that spread with the expansion of the universe creating a subatomic communication network—a network that Joshua and Rachael have accidentally tapped into.

This discovery sets the pair off on an incredible journey of revelation that profoundly alters the course of human history and redefines the meaning of life itself. Their journey ultimately leads them to a distant planet, New Eden, a genetically engineered paradise designed to be the new home for humanity.

“Einstein was wrong. Light is not the fastest thing in the universe . . . information is. And everything is information.”

Coastal Event Memories, Volume II by A.G. Kimbrough

Coastal Event Memories, Volume II by A.G. Kimbrough

Free 9/27 to 10/01
This is the second in a series of near-term Science Fiction post-apocalyptic Novellas. It tells the stories of another group of survivors who live through the same species-ending series of global catastrophes described in Volume I.
North America is slammed by a series of massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, followed by super-hurricane force winds and months of driving rain. The coastal regions are swallowed by a 300-foot sea level rise.
The primary location for this story is the smoky mountains of the western Carolinas.
This series, driven by current events and multiple diverse predictions, has disrupted several planned writing projects. I can’t seem to let go of this topic. As I go through the steps to publish this volume, the plot of the next volume keeps me awake.
As of March 13, 2013, these stories are only fiction. I hope they remain so. AWESOME

Ranh by Ian J Miller

Ranh by Ian J Miller

Natasha Kotchetkova leads a small delegation to Ranh to sign a peace treaty between Ranh and Earth. Ranh is a planet that was seeded with Cretaceous life from Earth and has evolved a technologically advanced race of raptors, many of whom feel the place for mammals is the larder. On arrival, she is stalled and finds the major civilization is in a state of internal turmoil, not helped by a Cardinal having heard the word of God directs him to remove mammals from the Planet of Creation (Earth). While a treaty with other advanced civilizations previously forbade any intervention on Earth, that treaty has expired. The delegation assumed they would have allies in the Kuyrills, but they are in disarray, while Seppet Methrell of the Military Curia, perhaps the most dangerous female on Ranh, has put Kuyrill Kazyn on the run. Kazyn’s only ally was Baht, unacknowledged, the lowest of the low, who was forbidden to hurt a fly or stand up for herself, yet she must do what no other unacknowledged has ever done or there will be interplanetary war.

While the fifth in a series, it is intended as stand-alone as long as it is recognised the characters have history. A tale of plotting, conspiracy, religious fervour, murder, treachery, honour, diplomacy, and tail-ball. Discounted to 99c/99p from Sept 19-26

Divine Space Gods III: Rangda’s Shenanigans

About Divine Space Gods III: Rangda’s Shenanigans:

When the Divine Plan is stupid, humanity’s future is at stake.

Due to an unfortunate calendar mistake, the Divine Plan faces a hiccup. Instead of giving birth to the Chosen One, the Martian Rebel Keila Eisenstein unleashes the evil Space Demon Rangda Kaliankan and her army of man-eating Xenos upon humankind.

“Fortunately”, The True Maker, the supreme deity of the Milky Way Galaxy, has a plan for dealing with the new threat. To convince Keila’s ex Metatron to find a surrogate mother for his and Keila’s unborn embryo, so the Chosen One can be born and sort out the mess that the True Maker caused. Six months later, Sabina is born.

Meanwhile, the new German leader, Hilda Muller realises how to save Earth from the Xeno invasion. Since the Germans haven’t won a war in a millennium, she bribes the Xeno invaders with copious quantities of German beer, which saves Earth. Because of Hilda’s grand plan, she is promoted to planetary leader.

Having failed to invade Earth, Rangda comes up with a new plan. She allies with the Martian Madman Melchior Dorevitch and his cannibal army. Together they defeat Rangda’s ancient enemies the Zetans. After this, Rangda, and Melchior begins an odyssey around the Milky Way looking for the magical plot devices, the Zeto Crystals.

Eventually, Rangda has all the Zeto Crystals, and Sabina, as the Chosen One, has to face Rangda. But there is an issue… Sabina hasn’t trained and doesn’t seem very keen to carry out the Divine Plan.

In the end, only a miracle can save us!

Victoria

About Victoria:

It’s the year AD 2430. Almost four hundred years earlier, humanity had barely survived a horrific near-extinction-level event: a solar micronova. Survivorship colonies set up by a cabal with advanced technologies eventually evolve into a global Perfect Society called the United Federation of Connectedness (UFC).
Initially based on co-ops, barter and trade, and equal access for all, a model that rose out of the ashes of the authoritarian governments of the past, humanity, bored and striving for more, eventually steers the planet to a balanced authoritarian model run by Victoria, a genetically engineered Master Server, implanted with artificial intelligence.
When the Animal Rights Act is introduced, the backward-looking religionists and many others think that Victoria has finally gone too far. Artificial love is the glue that keeps the heavily networked society together, but a radicalized religious cult, the MHs, who yearn for a natural connection to their God, reject technology and the electronic beasts who govern. Protected by the blood of their human messiah, they launch a terrorist attack to take down the Perfect Society and replace it with their own.
A top scientist, Claressa, who is loyal to Victoria, and her boyfriend, Pierre Lewalski, are summoned to UFC Capital City to thwart the attack.
Will they be successful? Should they be?
