Traveling Tyrant: Paradisa Lost

About Traveling Tyrant: Paradisa Lost:

When Galactic Hotels finds itself prevented from annexing a world filled with rare animals just begging to be killed by wealthy hunters, they need morally reprehensible individuals to solve their problems. Mordid the Traveling Tyrant and his mercenaries are up to the task, but can Mordid survive the twisting schemes of his employer, command staff, and even himself?

With a beautiful woman, alien spiders, and raging fanatics all after his blood – what’s a Tyrant to do?

The world of the Traveling Tyrant is one of soul-crushing, they-know-best, governments, corporate greed, and wild independence. In this morass, the Traveling Tyrant operates a massive mercenary force.

Mordid is not a hero. He is a villain and unrepentant about it, but, he will become a hero. This is not the story of a reluctant hero, but the story of a villain who, kicking and screaming, is dragged toward doing the ‘best’ if not the ‘right’ thing.

Mordid has an ego to span the stars and like all big egos, it will lead to great things and of course bite him in the ass.

Mordid has a command staff that all want his job. Even his friends can become enemies as one of the best ways to rise to the top is knock off the guy who is already there.

About Home: Interstellar by Ray Strong

** eBook Free for Two Days Only, Sunday and Monday, Nov. 18/19 **

A corrupt Earth reaches out to strangle the near-earth stars. The single person who can stop it is Meriel Hope—if only she can remember.

Murdered parents. A busted spaceship. Stories that horrified the therapists and terrified the space stations. That’s what pirates left to twelve-year-old Meriel Hope. But pirates didn’t exist, and for the authorities, that meant she’s crazy.

After ten years fighting flashbacks, nightmares, and involuntary drugs, she’s put her life back together and her past behind her. She searches for a mythical planet called Home to reboot her life, but the Wars of Immigration ensnare her in the largest exodus in human history.
When her ruined ship lands on the recycle dock, she has only days to untangle the mysteries surrounding her parents’ death or face her own.

What she discovers could rescue humanity from slavery, but it makes her a target.

Again.

And this time she can’t escape.

“Great Story! Great World Building! … engrossing and entertaining, and a plot full of twists and turns… awesome world building and character arcs…!” ***** Madhavi Ghare (Goodeads)

“Reminiscent of Ray Bradbury, early Heinlein, or Alan Dean Foster. Characters who are realistic, not perfect…” ***** Norma Mason (Goodreads)

“… a science fiction tale that reads like a pilgrimage with a haunted and haunting female character who combines strength and grace in a way that instantly wins the reader over to her perspective and her values, her every cause.” — Writer’s Digest

Forager – A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller Book 1

About Forager – A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller Book 1:

Twenty-year-old Ethan Jones lives in a post-apocalyptic, oppressive society that terminates anyone with mutations caused by nuclear radiation in an effort to keep the human race pure. Because of that, he lives every day in fear for his life, for he has an incredible mutation that gives him an edge when foraging in Melbourne’s ruins. An edge he uses to survive encounters with the vile Skel savages who roam those ruins.

His life becomes complicated when he rescues a mysterious Japanese girl from the Skel and brings her back with him, for she breaks the town’s rigid conventions in her pursuit of him, placing their lives in jeopardy. Her odd behaviour and probing questions baffle him, as does the fact that he understands her when she speaks in Japanese.

At the same time, the Skel ramp up their attacks on the foraging teams. Is this part of a larger plan that could spell the town’s doom? And why do the Skel suddenly possess advanced technology – who is backing them, and why?

Keeping his mutation secret, uncovering the girl’s true intentions and trying to save the town all vie for Ethan’s attention. And if he fails, not only his life, but the lives of all, are at stake.

Permission by Joe Dacy

About Permission by Joe Dacy:

“Prepare to meet your Maker.”

In 2045, with that ominous preface, the visionary CEO of a world-spanning Artificial Intelligence firm introduces a secret project to answer a vital question:

Can a society consent to be governed solely by a heuristic Artificial Intelligence with the support of robots and androids?

More than two centuries later, the Apprentice to the Maker, a girl of only 14 turns, discovers that the “Utopia” her people have inhabited for nine generations harbors a vile secret. She comes to realize a singular truth: In every Garden of Eden, there is a Serpent.

During the Time of the Maker, a surreal religion has supplanted the CEO’s original dream. Supported by the Verses of the Codex, the people of Permission have come to worship the AI, the entity which rules ….

“In the name of the Maker, and of his Sons, through the Coded Spirit. For All Men.”

WARNING: This novel contains themes and sexual content some readers may find disturbing.

The Back Story

This novel was sparked by a news story whose theme went something like this:

“Because someday computing technology will be vastly superior to us, humans will come to worship artificial intelligence (A.I.) as if it was a god.”

What, I asked myself, would that look like? And how could it come to be?

First, I designed a machine, the Maker, whose computing power is so great that it can imbue its Avatars and Androids with human-like qualities to serve as the interfaces for the people of my society. I set those colonists in an isolated, rural environment and then let them evolve for more than 200 years.

Above all, I reasoned, the device would be rational, objective, heuristic and driven by a need to serve in trade for its maintenance by the community. It’s a symbiotic relationship. The Maker is not a “lawgiver.” The laws of today’s civilization subscribe to the theory that human actions which are not forbidden by law are allowed. The Maker’s rule is exactly the opposite:

You may act in any manner that you wish, request whatever you want, as long as you have Permission.

As a citizen of Permission, your basic needs are met first. Once you are “self-actualized,” you can then explore the higher reaches of your desires and capabilities, including your “spiritual” nature.

It’s the latter that morphs into a quasi-religion that distorts even the language used by its adherents.

But there’s one thing about Utopia: there’s always an inherent flaw that brings it to ruin. In the book, that flaw is the worst one I could find. Because in every Garden of Eden, there is a Serpent.

Enjoy! — Joe Dacy II

The Untethered

About The Untethered:

What Roble wants to create is illegal…if not impossible.
And everyone seems determined to stop him from trying. But when a few unrepentant ladies join his fight to live free, the Las Vegas desert is going to light up like the 4th of July.

———————–

“If you want a cross-breed between an Ayn Rand novel and a techno-thriller, this is the best you’ll read.” –Amazon reviewer

———————–

Quote from the back cover:

Alexa counted her shallow breaths. “Roble, what…what is it you need?”

He pulled his arrowhead out from his shirt and rubbed it. “I don’t need to hear how scary the world is and how I shouldn’t try anything. I don’t need to know how much suffering there is out there,” he pointed out the window, “or how bad I should feel about it. What I need…” he looked up, his grey eyes pleading, “…is to see someone who is still happy after growing up.”

Lowering his head, he added, “I need to see living, Ms. Patra, because I actually want to live.”

———————–

Quote from inside:

The East China Sea glistened like an endless glass sheet. The F-22 Raptor Super Kai flashed just above its surface, ripping twin aerated water plumes into the air.

A grey destroyer sat broadside in the water just ahead. Roble hurtled toward its bow without slowing.

Crossing above the ship, the jet’s sonic shockwave rocked sailors to the deck as if Roble’s soul had exploded through their bodies. Sea spray from the wake doused the ship’s hull like an exclamation point.

Second Sight

About Second Sight:

The human eye is only capable of detecting a miniscule percentage of the electromagnetic spectrum. We call this visible light. It is this limited perception that has defined our very reality as a species.

Second Sight is the story of a brilliant young scientist who develops the nanotechnology to cure blindness. He could never have prepared for the betrayal and intrigue that befell him, nor could he have foreseen the hidden agendas that lay waiting in the shadows.
Michael Rose’s synchronistic journey into the realms of possibility would, not only leave him questioning his own sanity, but the very nature of existence itself.

Neither he nor his nefarious benefactors stopped to ask: if this nanotechnology could enhance the function of the human eye, what else would it see?

The Last Time Traveler

About The Last Time Traveler:

Robert is a time traveler. In point of fact, he’s the last time traveler. He managed to snag that impressive title because when he comes from has no future. This, as you can imagine, makes it much easier to be the last of any number of things. The current lack of future is due to the mess all his predecessors, the previous time travelers, made of things. It’s Robert’s job to repair the damage they did in the hopes that this will jump-start time.

Fortunately he’s assembled the most brilliant team in history to do the job. At his disposal are the best hackers, mechanics, and doctors who ever lived. He and his elite band have to do their best to un-steal ancient artifacts, un-kidnap people of importance, and un-sell advanced technologies while doing as little damage to the timelines as possible.

The Last Time Traveler is a rather unique sci-fi romantic comedy. In fact, it’s more like a comedy romance sci-fi if you put things in the correct order of importance. The humor is in some ways rather outlandish and draws on pop-culture a good bit. And all the romance is PG-13. If you’re even the slightest bit curious read a few sample pages. By the third or forth page you’ll probably know whether this is your cup of tea or not. The style stands-out, no question. So, take a couple of minutes and read a few pages. You might just love it.
