Prime: The Summons by Maeve Sleibhin

About Prime: The Summons by Maeve Sleibhin

One of the last surviving members of the noble families exiled from her home planet, Xai has been imprisoned, along with the rest of the Ke’i-ze clan, to a Prima star base since she was a child. But Xai holds a contentious and extremely lonely place in her family. Her mother betrayed the aristocratic order and married the commoner leader of the revolt that overthrew the noble houses on Messim. For her uncles, Xai is a source of shame to the Ke’i-ze—she is allowed to remain only as a subservient, a symbol of their superiority over the rebellion. But as a noble, Xai is also hated by the commoners who overthrew her family. Neither a noble or a commoner, a Messinian or a Primer, Xai does not belong anywhere.
When the Oracle of Messim summons her to return to the planet, Xai’s uncles, who think her unworthy of such an honour, are furious. For her part, Xai does not understand why she would be chosen by the Oracle. Nor does she know how to feel about it. The Summons is a rare and sacred obligation of an ancient order that has brought Xai nothing but misery. At any rate, she cannot leave the star base where she is held prisoner.
All that changes when the star base is destroyed in a surprise attack and Xai escapes, accompanied only by a snarky AI, on a fast ship she does not know how to pilot. Confronted with a newfound freedom along with a sense of dutiful guilt for a culture that has only shown her disdain, Xai must choose her path.

Unearthed by Marc Mulero

About Unearthed by Marc Mulero:

Blague is a defiler, a criminal, a demon… to most of the world. But to some, he is a liberator. Scorned and banished, he knew that this wasn’t to be his end – that something, somewhere deep, burned within him. A power so immense that it would define the legacy of an entire rebellion, if only he could ever unlock it.

His past is a cold mess. After his mother and father were stolen from him, after he witnessed the murder of the person he loved most in this world… there was nothing left to take. He’d lost everything to the Hiezers.

Now he treks in exile, as a Sin, witnessing more of the Hiezer atrocities. He watches causeless violence, innocents dragged away for some dark experimental objective. Now more than ever, renewed purpose is clear – Blague must break the chains, and he must unleash his inner demons to do it.

It’s here, with a multifarious group of able misfits that his journey takes shape, one with a singular facet that holds true throughout it all – their suffering has only just begun.

Scharlette Doesn’t Matter and Goes Time Travelling

About Scharlette Doesn’t Matter and Goes Time Travelling:

Ever since Scharlette’s parents gave her a stupid name no one can pronounce properly, she’s been stuck in a bit of a rut.

She hates her job in airport security, making people take their belts off before they fly away to exotic locations she can only dream about. She lives alone in a small apartment with large repayments, drinking bargain bin red while she watches Star Trek and wonders where her gym card is. To make it all worse, it’s been ten years since her beloved sister, Jenelope, was killed by an exploding sandwich press, and no one seems to care.

Scharlette fears she might live out her entire life without doing anything much, or mattering to anyone. It still comes as quite a surprise when a handsome time traveller named Tomothy verifies she is indeed correct and, according to his records, she doesn’t matter at all.

The good news? Given she was to have no impact on the timeline whatsoever, Scharlette is free to travel time and space, and have amazing adventures with heedless abandon.

** Reader’s Favorite Gold Medal Award Winner **

Sandfly is a debugger. He is property, bought and paid for in an Earth under sharia law. All faiths but one have been banned. And the rule of the great Imam is supreme.

As a debugger, Sandfly has an implant in his head that connects him to the world’s technology—and doles out mental shocks to keep him obedient. All he wants is to fix bots and avoid shocks

Now he’s been called into Earth orbit. The masters have a new spacecraft—one capable of interstellar flight. On its maiden voyage, the only robot on board went mad and tore itself apart.

Why? Better question: does it pose any risk to humans?

When Sandfly reviews the bot’s final moments, he perceives something unexpected. Something impossible.

As Sandfly pieces together the clues, a trap spreads beneath his feet. If he solves the mystery, he may doom himself. And if he fixes the robot, he may shatter his world.

Nemesis (Universe in Flames – Dark Legacy Book 1) by Christian Kallias

About Nemesis (Universe in Flames – Dark Legacy Book 1) by Christian Kallias:

We thought defeating the Furies would bring peace to the Galaxy. We were wrong.

A year has passed since defeating the Furies. Members of the Alliance are settling into their new roles, but unexpected forces are about to shatter their sense of peace.

Former Admiral Chase Athanatos and the Earth Alliance have won the Fury War. But in doing so, Chase paid a terrible price. His wife, Sarah, was mortally wounded, so he heads out to the unknown region hoping to find a cure.

In the alternate dimension, Ares survived the destruction of Erevos. In his current quest to gather intel about the Spectres and their plans, he’s forced to consider an unlikely alliance with a Fury survivor—that is, if he ever hopes to return home.

Tar’Lock now serves aboard a mercenary ship under the leadership of Captain Talon Epizon, a man with demons and who despises the Earth Alliance. When they come in contact with an enemy spider ship, all hell breaks loose, and the ragtag crew of the Bellerophon must defy the odds if they wish to survive.

It appears the peace that came with defeating the Furies was short-lived. Now the universe is about to plunge into darkness once more. Are Chase and his friends ready for the Spectres? How can they defeat an enemy immensely more powerful than the mighty Furies?
