About DIAMOND MOON:

Dr. Mara Parrish is part of a highly-trained NASA team that is exploring Europa, a moon of Jupiter, looking for signs of life deep below its shell of ice. With the help of a deep-space mining vessel, they have drilled underneath the surface ice to an ocean of water. But when they send a remote submersible to investigate, they make a discovery that will completely upend the mission – and immediately pit the NASA team and mining vessel against each other. Suddenly, the most amazing scientific discovery in human history is balanced between greed, deception, and for Mara… the most unlikely chance at a new love. The two landing teams have turned on each other as their environment becomes increasingly hostile, but the mysterious denizens of this icy world may be offering clues for those that are willing to listen. Which crew will escape with the life-altering discovery before the moon destroys them all?

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 science fiction novel of approximately 67,500 words)

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.

This is a story about the end of the world. The apocalypse started with crops withering in fields. Then domestic animals got sick and died in their pens. The panic truly started when people started to feel the effects of this mysterious virus, as a seemingly unstoppable pandemic swept the world. Everybody was getting infected. And everybody was going to die…

But many came back, undead slaves to their programming: To hunt down and destroy the living. The last remnants of the military and government do what they can, but will it be enough to ensure the survival of mankind?

Peel back a layer and this is a story about a clandestine organization. An ancient mystical order, carrying out a terrible conspiracy against the human race. They believe that there are many things wrong with our world today, and they have the solution. After years of preparation, they are ready to unleash their man-made revelation upon the world. 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.

Follow along as events unfold in Syndrome, the first volume in Apocalypsis Immortuos

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?

LOST HELIX

About LOST HELIX:

Stuck on an asteroid mining facility, DJ dreams of writing music, not something you can do for a living out there. His dad is a corporate hacker and his best friend Paul prepares to escape to become a settler in a planet-wide land rush, but neither option interests DJ. As such, he faces a future assigned to him by the mining company that owns the space station he calls home.

When his dad goes missing, DJ finds a file containing evidence of a secret war of industrial sabotage, a file encrypted by his dad using DJ’s song LOST HELIX. Caught in a crossfire of lies, DJ must find his father and the mother he never knew.

The mining company sends Agent Coreman after DJ and his guitar, which has LOST HELIX on its hard drive. DJ and Paul escape the facility and make a run for civilization, risking their lives as stowaways, never knowing they have the means to unlock the file.

LOST HELIX takes classic science fiction concepts and asks, “But what next?” After terraforming, how does humanity go about populating their new planet? And those domed ships that take multiple generations to reach a distant planet, what happens to them after the planetary colony is established? The world of LOST HELIX explores some answers.

The story has everything a YA reader wants in a Space Opera: a bit of melodrama, a bit of realism, a bit of magic, and a lot of fun. The cold commercial environment the story moves through is peppered with warm, realistic people, each interesting in their own way, each with their own problems and goals. And there are so many people to root for: DJ the wizard with his magical ability to hack any computer, Paul the streetwise sports hero with his optimistic charm, Maya the feisty and talented stowaway who appears and disappears like a wraith, and even Coreman the villain who sees no higher calling than to preserve the status quo.

Though a small part of the novel, DJ’s confrontation with his bully will be both satisfying and enlightening. And Maya proves to be a strong female character; her romance with Paul evolves in a realistic and healthy way, providing a positive role model for young readers.

LOST HELIX is not the idealistic world of a better future where humans have evolved. It is corporate greed, space pirates, intrigue, and adventure. More than anything, LOST HELIX is good old-fashioned escapism, which we could all use right now.
