Tomorrowville by David T. Isaak

Tomorrowville by David T. Isaak

Toby wasn’t ready to die in 2008 and wake up in 2088. 2088 wasn’t ready for Toby either.

Gen-X computer hacker Toby is a classic American: impulsive, irreverent, intelligent, and inventive. And, after a silly accident in 2008, he can add “inanimate” to the list—because Toby is dead.

But only for a while. Eighty years later, medical science has advanced enough to bring Toby back to life.

Welcome to Southern California, 2088. The skies are clean, but the rich-poor social gulf has widened. The biggest industries are entertainment and the prison system. Taxes have been cut — because the main source of government revenue is the confiscation of property. Many new, designer recreational drugs are legal, and many other drugs are mandatory. And while the US leads the world in cosmetic surgery, in most technologies America lags far behind…

America has changed. Toby hasn’t. And in the collision between America 2008 and America 2088, Toby brings the system to its knees—just by being his freedom loving, problem solving self.

Read now and join Toby in Tomorrowville for love, sex, politics, and cyberspace—plus the occasional turbocharged wheelchair and robotic rat.

The eBook will be discounted to $0.99

The Last Viracocha by Douglas Schofield

About Featured Book: The Last Viracocha by Douglas Schofield

THE LAST VIRACOCHA
by Douglas Schofield
[WGAw Reg. No. 2167836]
In Incan legends, the Viracocha were the creators of civilization. They were said to have risen from Lake Titicaca during a time of darkness, wandered as beggars, and taught the people sustainable forestry and agriculture. One day, they disappeared into the western sky and never returned. Andean mythology insists that the Viracocha will re-appear in a time of great trouble.
Archaeologist Eve Barcelon is undeniably living in a time of great trouble. Runaway global warming, poisoned oceans, killer storms, gigantic forest fires, floods, droughts, and insane wars—in every possible way, humanity is courting its own destruction.
Eve cares about the state of the planet, but as an individual feels helpless. She was raised mainly by her mother, her father a remote figure, often away for weeks at a time. His neglect has affected her deeply. Eve was a supremely gifted student, earning her Ph.D. and an assistant professorship at Harvard University by her early twenties. Determined to put the pain behind her, her sole focus is on her academic career.
So, when she is approached by a mysterious philanthropic organization, and asked to lead an expedition to the newly-discovered ruins of an ancient Mayan city, she jumps at the opportunity.
And this is when events spin out of control. She finds herself drawn into a violent journey of discovery, from Belize to the high Andes of Peru, hunted by the implacable leader of a rogue American Army unit, and courted by another military operative she has no reason to trust.
Soon, Eve Barcelon will learn shocking facts about her ancestry.
Soon, she will discover an inexplicable inherited power.
And, soon, she will learn how vital she is to the preservation of humanity.

Tabitha Prime by Saddletramp1956

The year is 2109. Tabitha, a devious, vengeful clone of Bill Jones’ long-dead ex-wife, has developed a powerful weapon that can destroy stars and their planetary systems. With it, she secured her position as a Prime Director in the Mr’rk Interstellar Corporation.

But her obsession goes far beyond absolute power or fabulous wealth. She wants revenge for the death of Bull Travers, the man she cuckolded Bill with years ago on the USS Armstrong. In addition to killing Bill Jones, she seeks to destroy the entire Solar System so she can plunder Earth.

Fast forward five years. Bill Jones is promoted and given tactical command of the task force sent to stop Tabitha and her evil plan. But he has other issues, like a drug-addicted, mentally unstable Admiral who also has an axe to grind with Bill, a starship upgraded with barely tested alien technology, and the off-chance of starting Earth’s first interstellar war.

Can Bill and the starship USS Enterprise stop Tabitha in time?

By Means of Peace by Don Johnston

A charismatic politician, Reuben Rogov, wins the presidency. During his first term, he brings peace to the Mideast, stares down Russia and China, solves the border crisis, and conquers the Phoenix-75 virus. Due to his unparalleled success, he is viewed as a sociopolitical messiah, and no opponent dares to run against him.

Once Rogov secures his second term by acclamation, multiple problems arise. Most Americans trust the President, but a few think he created the problems to control the population.

A young Houston couple, Darien and Marisa, are caught up in this melee. Marisa, a budding politician, moves to Washington to work for NatGov, but Darien, a struggling Sci-fi author, stays behind. Chaos disrupts their lives as they attempt to maintain a long-distance relationship.

Darien’s grandfather believes a passage from the Book of Daniel describes the situation: “By means of peace, he shall destroy many.”

Is this stark prophecy about to come true?

Taken to the Stars by JN Chaney

About Featured Book: Taken to the Stars by JN Chaney

Only 99c Dec 31 – Jan 1

Charlie Travers figures his life can’t get much worse. He lives over a pizza restaurant, he’s lost his girlfriend, and has no prospects for a career.

Then he’s abducted by an alien robot and taken across the galaxy. When he wakes up, he finds himself stranded thousands of light-years away and about to be killed by space pirates.

Charlie’s only hope of getting through this is learning to work with his fellow abductees: a green-skinned warrior woman, a feathered con man who is just as likely to steal their starship as he is to save them, and a cyborg insectoid pilot who could rip a man apart with ease… if he wasn’t a strict pacifist.

To make matters worse, they were abducted for a reason–one that aims to change the course of the Galaxy forever.

Messenger Corps by JN Chaney, Terry Maggert, D. Glenn Seguin

99c for Dec 6 & 7

After centuries of peace, the Cygnus Realm has changed.

And not in a good way.

Dash Sawyer, the original Messenger and humanity’s champion in two brutal, star-spanning wars, is long gone. So are his most trusted colleagues, and with them, their noble and storied mechs, ancient, towering war-machines of unmatched power. They have long since been replaced by newer, flashier weapons under the control of officers who call themselves the Superba–genetically enhanced humans who arrogantly consider themselves the next step in humanity’s evolution.

Obsessed with power, and pageantry, and the appearance of warriors, the Superba—led by Darius Spann—will stop at nothing to gain total control over the systems living under the Realm banner.

But on a backwater world covered with fields of grain, a young man makes a discovery that will change the universe forever—for he is no ordinary youth.

A national archivist denies the request a private investigator’s request for information on Shemathra’s Realm. Regrettably it’s protected. Instead, he offers memory files from Bali Hai, the after-death program that previously occupied the platform now used by Shemathra.

These memories are the story of Gunter Holden, a pioneer of the After Death Industry and the creator of Bali Hai, once lauded as the gold standard of the after-death field. Gunter was also a suspected murderer.

Babylon Dreams begins when Gunter appears as an eight-year-old boy while greeting TOM a new (virtual) resident. Gunter is alone. “…everyone I knew is gone. Few came here and they all walked the ramp and fell into the Dreams. I may join them someday; I keep the thought.

His file is beginning to fragment which causes him to relive moments best forgotten. On the advice of Miranda, the Bali Hai AI, he tells his life story to Tom, a new Bali Hai resident. The mergers happen. Alarmed, Gunter tries to protect the virtual people of Bali Hai. Still, as the paradise of Bali Hai slides into a new form of hell, Gunter learns the devastating truth of his childhood.

It’s Dillon McAllister’s grim duty to track down alien-infected humans-aka “Haunts”-and quarantine them to the Outer Banks for their protection. His job disgusts him, but he continues because if he can get to them before the other hunters, at least they’ll be treated with respect.

As society begins to unravel, the pressure is on to find a cure before the hate groups calling for eradication can no longer be drowned out.

The Marann by Christie Meierz

The Marann by Christie Meierz

A brilliant young teacher. An austere alien ruler. A love Earth’s Central Command tried to prevent.

High school teacher Marianne Woolsey was teaching Spanish in rural Iowa when Central Command decided her linguistic talents would be better exercised teaching human languages to the daughter of an alien ruler on a planet 24 light-years from Earth. Deeply wounded by childhood trauma, she has always avoided men, but now she’s thrown into close contact with a man who is as gentle as he is dangerous.

Driven by duty, deadly to anyone who dares cross him, the Sural has ruled his province and led his planet far longer than he can admit to his daughter’s human tutor, and he hides much more from the space-faring races of the Trade Alliance than he is willing to admit. What he doesn’t want Central Command to know, he has to conceal from Marianne, but she is keeping her own secrets from him – and as an empath, he knows it.

This is the award-winning first installment of the Tales of Tolari Space – the story of a shy heroine, a mysterious single father from another world, and a planet coming out of centuries of isolation. “For anyone who enjoys tightly-written, wonderfully imaginative science fiction wrapped with romance, this one is a must!” – InD’Tale Magazine

The Marann is available for a reduced price from November 19th to November 25th – get it now!
