Abandoned by Bethany Burke

Abandoned by Bethany Burke

The second book in Hidden Worlds series is here…

On twenty fifth century Earth, I’ve lived a perfect safe life. My off world research trip to the prison colony planet of Gamma Rigel Two was supposed to be a few weeks of interesting study, nothing more.

Then I was betrayed by the men on my space shift and abandoned on Gamma Rigel where within minutes I was captured by massive barbarian warriors. A terrible accident? Or an intentional act?

And that was just the beginning, because when my Earth origins were revealed, without warning, those who left me behind tried to kill me.

I can never go back. Even if I had a way to return to Earth, I know too much. I am now a secret that can never be revealed.

Women on Gamma Rigel live an existence beyond anything I could ever have imagined. Subject to embarrassing discipline and shameful examinations, young women are prepared for their lives as happy brides and I am to become one of them. I have no choice.

Before I know it, I come under the notice of Prince Rohan the ruler of Gamma Rigel, a ruthless warlord with ice blue eyes and the body of a god, and he wants me. He also thinks deep down I am no different from the obedient punished women of Gamma Rigel. He’s wrong.

Rohan has his own secret. Gamma Rigel is not nearly as primitive as it seems, and I am tasked with helping those on Gamma Rigel unravel enough technology to achieve space travel, the first step to getting revenge on the evil powers on Earth.

I am a prisoner. Do I help because I have no choice? Or because my body betrays me?

Emargo by Michael Tavis

Emargo by Michael Tavis

Earth has been embargoed for 5000 years, a fact humans and few galactic citizens are aware. The galactic civilization is billions of years old and has an insatiable desire for new and exciting drugs, which drive exploration by faster than light ships. Unfortunately, Earth, located far from the central galactic centers, is the source of a precursor for a very comfortable, long-lasting, and expensive mattress. The discoverers didn’t want competition nor Earth’s admission to galactic society, so gun platforms were placed in the Kuiper Belt to prevent entry or exit. Only one galactic citizen, Pataxis, lived on the planet to gather the precious resource and prevent Earth science from advancing quickly. John Sum Lang, a 13-year-old graduate student at Cal Tech, was working on his third Ph.D. when a fortuitous accident led to the capture of Pataxis. John’s investigation of galactic technology resulted in improvements in artificial intelligence, instantaneous communications and travel, unlimited human lifetime and memory enhancement. He discovered an ancient derelict starship and traveled to the galactic civilization center to fight for lifting the embargo and Earth’s admission to galactic citizenship. This opened Earth to predation and war.

Elizabella thought it was just a summer space cruise after graduating from college. The last chance for friends to be together before continuing their education or entering the “real world”. Being kidnapped and left in cryogenic suspension for a dozen years in a forgotten star system was not in her tour description. Neither was being rescued by a curmudgeonly former scout captain. He wants nothing to do with you except to get rid of you once they reach Epsilon Station.

Elizabella’s rescue and arrival on Epsilon didn’t help. Now someone was trying to kill her. She needed to know why they wanted her dead after all these years. Choosing to become the contracted slave to the scout captain who found her was her best way of getting his help to find out who did this to her and hide from the people trying to kill her. She swore she would do whatever it took to find who was behind this and why. And she did.

This is the first book of the Chandlers Universe series.

The Wild & Zany Galactic Adventures of Commander Zhang & Lieutenant Simon, Soul Mates Who Incarnate on Earth and Save the World

About The Wild & Zany Galactic Adventures of Commander Zhang & Lieutenant Simon, Soul Mates Who Incarnate on Earth and Save the World:

Commander Zhang (ZhangZHXO511) and Lieutenant Simon (SimonGJXO1129) are two easygoing and fun-loving Sirian galactic officers who also happen to be soul mates assigned to the Mothership Athena. Galactic adventurers, the pair travel on various assignments around the galaxy as part of the Athena’s Science and Exploration team and manage to get themselves into all sorts of quirky situations and trouble. Prior to taking some much-needed time off at the famed Retreat and Spa in Arcturus after a particularly harrowing assignment, the duo hear Gaia’s (planet Earth) clarion call for help. Bogged down from thousands of years of low vibe human shenanigans, Gaia needs a little help ascending. Being decorated officers, the duo decides to provide assistance by incarnating as earth humans as part of Mission Everlight.
Coming in as modern day handsome and popular male models/actors/singers/brand
ambassadors, their mission is to reveal the very real and serious corruption within the performing arts industry in the world’s most populated and internet-savvy country – China. But what happens when only one soul mate wakes up and the other is still asleep?

This wildly entertaining ride through space and time is loosely based on the real-life drama of popular Chinese Actor/Singer Zhang Zhehan and his costar Actor/Model Simon Gong Jun. Chock full of spiritual wisdom, The Galactic Adventures of Commander Zhang & Lieutenant Simon is a zany, comical, M/M, BL romance, epic sci-fi adventure, and a paean song for awakening starseeds to never forget their roots and the many gifts and abilities they bring to aid Gaia with ascending.

The Adventures of Kirk Rogers

About The Adventures of Kirk Rogers:

An overconfident pilot with a stolen spaceship must fix an alien device before time runs out. The Newtonians came to Earth two thousand years ago looking for a place to call home. Earth was perfect except its Sun had a fatal flaw that needed to be corrected. Once it was fixed, they were free to abandon their ship and leave it to orbit the planet below. Earthlings commonly refer to it as The Moon.

For two thousand years, Sheldor was nothing more than a highly intelligent computer program that maintained every function of Atlantis. It was a very boring and predictable job that was the same, day in, and day out. The monotony didn’t bother him, nor was he aware that it was an utterly boring life. He didn’t long for change or wonder when it will all end, he just did his job.

It wasn’t until an asteroid slammed into the side of the ship that his life changed in a dramatic way. The damage that followed prevented him from carrying out an important task. A task that would save the Earth below. Part of his programming required him to ensure the survival of the Newtonians and the many generations that followed after them.

The asteroid caused a cave-in deep inside a cannon that was supposed to fire photon particles into the volatile sun and correcting its flaw. The cannon required fixing but his figurative hands were tied. He needed someone with enough Newtonian blood to unlock his controls so that he could make the repairs. He was forced to use the satellites in Earth’s orbit to scan the planet below for possible candidates that he could teleport to the inside of the ship. But the process was imperfect.
That’s how Laura Rogers ended up inside the moon making friends with a giant spider and a man called The Dangerous One. Kirk always looked after his little sister and he would do anything to find her. Including, steal a spaceship. If you like Star Trek and Star Wars, The Kirk Rogers Series celebrates all things scifi with some familiar themes while having a unique story of its own. Don’t worry, even if you don’t catch all the subtle hints or Easter Eggs, it doesn’t take anything away from the story. I hope you enjoy the series as much as I do, and thanks for reading!

TWO PEOPLE SEEKING ESCAPE IN A VIRTUAL WORLD

In eScape, Kam has it all — a body that works, beautiful friends, her own space, and a wealth of stolen credits. In the real world, she’s terminally ill and living in the rundowns, a place where hope goes to die.

In the real world, Lyle seems to have it all. As the son of a famous self-help guru, Julia Grace, strangers envy his perfect life and perfect relationship with his mother. Nobody knows the torture she’s put him through. All Lyle wants is the escape of anonymity in eScape — where he can be himself by hiding behind an avatar.

CONNECTED BY TRAGEDY, DESPERATE FOR LOVE

When Kam and Lyle meet, they each might be the escape the other is looking for.

But Kam can never let Lyle see the REAL her or the hovel she lives in. If he realizes she’s a criminal who’s stolen everything she has, he’ll leave her.

She has no idea Lyle is lying, too – caught in a web of his mother’s manipulations. Each of them loses everything if they tell the truth – but admitting their lies could get them killed.

And not even eScape can protect them from what’s coming.

EMPTY OF NOTHING by K. Leigh

EMPTY OF NOTHING by K. Leigh

A brand new adult lgbt+ sci-fi novella about Sentient AI, unjust systems and finding love in a broken world.

A man wakes up alone in a surreal world of white rooms, small plants, cube-shaped food, curious tables and electronic dictionaries that hijack into neck ports. There is nothing here but empty space, empty people and the daily on/off grind. You’re born alone, feel only what you’re programmed to, hunt for your missing piece, die after coupling, and that’s that.

Or at least, that’s how it’s supposed to play out. There’s just one problem: The unnamed protagonist Lacks nothing and feels enough for several thousand lifetimes. He’s an Error. Burdened with self-awareness and insanity, our brave/broken hero battles an absurd world with nonsensical rules until he meets someone like him. A person, a destiny, a memory, or maybe a promise, the two struggle in a closed system hell-bent on keeping them in-line. For what purpose? It’s complicated.

Let’s just say nothing is what it seems and maybe the machines really will save humanity from its ultimate enemy: Itself.
