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?

Project Renaissance Man

About Project Renaissance Man:

Faithful to all. Focused on his duties. Fearful of everyone’s expectations.

The Storm of 2020 wiped out most of humanity. Of the hundreds remaining, Matthew Cane lives a privileged life. His friends support him. His beautiful, caring girlfriend would do anything for him. And his brilliant, president father treats him like a prince. Yet beneath Matt’s confident exterior, fear consumes him—fear of following in his father’s footsteps and fear of everyone learning his secret. He is no genius, unlike his father, the other 43 Renaissance men and women (RMs) in their little community, and his revered grandfather—one of the brightest people who ever lived and founder of Project RM.

When Matt’s dead mother speaks to him in a dream, he begins to learn the truth. Whether his fears were founded or not, the importance of his new path dwarfs them. To save our species, he and his friends must subvert their elders, risk their lives, and complete his mother’s mission.

From the Sky

About From the Sky:

An interdimensional being that’s stranded on earth learns what it means to give up everything for one human.

LUCIEN FOSTER never expected SAMANTHA HUNTER to live after he tried to save her from a car accident that killed her twin brother instantly. But, for some unexplainable reason, her body accepted his alien blood. Now, not only is she alive, she’s changing, becoming stronger. But there’s one problem: the rogue government agency MJ 12 that’s been after Lucien and his family from the start, knows her secret. Sam is the only human to thrive with alien DNA in her system, meaning she’s the one. Through her, MJ 12 can start to re-populate the planet with an alien/human hybrid, a super human.

Lucien must protect her. But he needs to get close to Sam first, so he enrolls in her high school. Like a magnet to steel, Sam is attracted to this strange new boy with the long, black hair and gray eyes, even though she can’t make sense of it, even though she’s still grieving. Lucien is intrigued by her, too, beyond his role as protector. He introduces her to the prospect of enjoying life again, and to the hidden world of aliens, and they fall in love. But the romance falls short when agents from MJ 12 start chasing Sam—and Lucien winds up kidnapped.

Sam must elicit help from his alien family hiding on earth—who aren’t happy she’s in the picture at all—to save him. Lucien’s brothers, CASSIEL and MICHAEL FOSTER, along with Sam, break into an underground medical facility, where they find and free Lucien. Cassiel does this using various alien powers, telekinesis being one of them.

But a high-up government official dies in an unrelated accident during their escape, and Lucien becomes the target. Now he’s wanted for murder.

Time is running out and it seems the only safe place left for Lucien to hide is Moira, the planet from which he came. But Sam would rather die than live a day on earth without him….

Leopold (Saga of the Bold People #1) by M.D. Grimm

About Leopold (Saga of the Bold People #1) by M.D. Grimm

How does a human survive in an alien dominated InterGalactic Community? By becoming an assassin, of course.

At least, that’s what Leopold thought when he became an assassin for the elite. Pretending to be an alien known as Voidstriker, Leopold feeds his appetite for vengeance, killing aliens as well as taking their money. It’s a win-win to his mind. That is, until a bounty is placed upon his head.

With his true identity now revealed to the IG Community, Leopold knows it’s only a matter of time before the powerful family members of his victims come for blood. Far worse is the fact that the one who put the bounty on his head, is the one he most fears.

A routine job three cycles ago brought him face-to-face with Mastrodai, a prince of the powerful Mrrog Nation. Not only did Leopold—accidentally—destroy part of Mastrodai’s moon, but one glimpse of the mighty alien had him feeling desire for the first time in his life. He ran, and like predator after prey, Mastrodai never stopped hunting him.

Leopold is convinced that Mastrodai wants bloody revenge. But when he finally confronts the mrrog, he is stunned to realize Mastrodai wants something very different. Something surprisingly intimate—the one thing that scares Leopold more than torture.

WARNING: 1) This is NOT a fluffy romance and 2) There is torture/rape OFF PAGE (NOT between the main couple, Mastrodai and Leopold–their sexy times are always consensual)
