Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny by Jeremy Clift

Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny by Jeremy Clift

When Teagan Ward claims seven babies, conceived artificially after she donated her eggs to a medical experiment aboard a rotating space habitat, are her children, she triggers a fight that consumes her life in a race against time to free her from the clutches of an unscrupulous doctor and a power-mad general.
“Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny” chronicles a gripping tale of sacrifice and redemption in which desire and ambition collide. As a ruthless mining consortium tightens its grip on the lucrative interstellar asteroid mining business, Teagan finds herself at the epicenter of a battle for control that spans the planets. Her seven children, born in a lab as part of a daring experiment to populate future space colonies, become pawns in a larger game of power and ambition.
Only the fragment of a distant solar system discovered in a captured asteroid has the lure to win her freedom and unlock the children’s destiny. When a greedy businessman, an unethical scientist, and an unhinged general all covet its remarkable energy, one of the children spies an opportunity to orchestrate the reunion they’ve long desired.
“Born in Space” is the thought-provoking first book in the Sci-fi Galaxy series of speculative science fiction novels. If you like strong female characters, moral dilemmas, and stories of alien encounters, then you’ll love Jeremy Clift’s rocket-fueled tale of romance and resistance.
In the tradition of Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and William Gibson, “Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny” is an enthralling journey into the depths of space and the human spirit. For fans of “Interstellar” and “2001: A Space Odyssey,” this sci-fi gem promises an unmatched immersive experience.

The Kepler Incident by Saddletramp1956

The Kepler Incident by Saddletramp1956

In 2108, the faster-than-light science vessel USS Kepler suddenly went missing. An intense search found nothing, and the ship, with all 50 hands, was listed as “missing.”

Four years later, a single communications packet from the doomed ship arrived at Starbase One, in orbit over Earth. After verifying the signal source, Star Fleet Command dispatched the USS Enterprise, commanded by Captain Bill Jones, to investigate the situation.

Upon arrival at Wolf 437, a red dwarf star with two planets, Enterprise found Kepler’s damaged drive section. Hoping that Capt. Stewart, the commanding officer of Kepler, had somehow managed to land the rest of his crippled ship on a nearby planet, Capt. Jones sets out.

What he and the Enterprise find on the planet, labeled Gliese 486c, surprises everyone.

A Commotion On The Ocean by Carolyn Summer Quinn

A Commotion On The Ocean by Carolyn Summer Quinn

Mystery writer Ashley Calloway’s long-awaited vacation on a cruise ship isn’t off to a flying start. Delphina Durand, the worst former co-worker Ashley ever knew when she worked at Grandscale Pictures Corporation, turns out to be onboard, and she’s just as crazy and vicious as ever.

By coincidence, Ashley’s former boss, Preston, also turns out to be on the ship, along with his wife, Lorelei, who promptly goes missing – while the ship is at sea! Delphina had stalked Preston when they all worked together way back when, so it looks entirely possible like she had something to do with his wife’s disappearance. The prevailing theory is that she pushed poor Lorelei overboard.

Did Delphina have something to do with this? Can Ashley figure out what’s going on here? And where’s Lorelei?

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

Beyond Luna Synopsis
Imagine a world, exactly like ours, but different
H2LiftShips: Beyond Luna by Bob Freeman is the first book of his hard-science space opera saga. The story follows Captain Graciela Lourdes and her crew of mutated animals on the LunaCola, a unique H2Liftship launching from Earth using hydrogen, boost rockets, and enormous solar sails.

Their journey is filled with encounters with pirates, anarchists, poker games, and even jail time. The characters are entertaining and unforgettable, making this space adventure truly unique.
After their thrilling escapades through space, the crew returns to Earth for a party in the desert, bringing along Carne Asada burritos and plenty of fun.

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.

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.

Fast forward five years. Bill Jones is promoted and given tactical command of the task force sent to stop Tabitha and her evil plan.

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.

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

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.
