Chaos Drive

About Chaos Drive:

Worst. Honeymoon. Ever.

Charlotte has just been married. She was expecting some sand, some sea, and perhaps an occasional tricky decision about which cocktail to have next.
So why is she in a crazy parallel universe, trying to fight off an evil and unlikely race of deranged frogs?

Matt has just been married, too. His problems have less to do with frogs, and more to do with the strange and incredibly strong version of Charlotte who seems to have taken the place of his wife.

Both of them just want to get back to their own reality. But when the Universe itself starts trying to expel the deranged knot of confusion which their lives have become, Matt and Charlotte find themselves on the run not just from bloodthirsty frogs, but from reality itself. Why has this happened? What does it have to do with the strangely feline personality who has gone missing? And what the hell is the mysterious Chaos Drive, anyway?

Solar Warden by Peter Fuller

Solar Warden by Peter Fuller

US Air Force combat pilot Colonel Steve Richardson suffers a severe head injury when his F-35 crashes in the mountains of northern Afghanistan. With help too far away, death appears imminent. When an unusual craft appears and rescues him, Richardson is convinced he’s hallucinating. It conveys him to a massive spaceship in orbit, where he is treated for his wounds. Once he recovers from his injuries, Richardson is introduced to a covert space force called “Solar Warden.” This secret space program utilizes futuristic technology to defend earth against a paranormal alien threat intent on destroying earth’s inhabitants. When Richardson joins the program, he learns that his new comrades are losing the conflict. Can he learn to operate technology half a century ahead of what he has been trained for in time to be an asset? Or will he become just another casualty in an interstellar war?

Odyssey by Alexander Elliott

About Odyssey by Alexander Elliott:

Colonization of an inhabited planet is forbidden. Someone broke the rules.

Under mysterious circumstances, the colony ship, Odyssey, settled on the strangely barren world of Sahara. Eighty years later, and with no help in sight, their long-term survival is in question.
When help finally arrives, long buried secrets of the past, and the machinations of a scheming politician, threaten to upset carefully laid plans for prosperity.

Caught in the middle are the Rxyl – an elusive, telepathic species already inhabiting the planet. Unaware of the human intrigue, a fortuitous accident forges a bond between the races which will alter the destiny of both peoples forever.

(Galactic Neighborhood Book 2. May be read as a stand-alone.)

LOST HELIX

About LOST HELIX:

Stuck on an asteroid mining facility, DJ dreams of writing music, not something you can do for a living out there. His dad is a corporate hacker and his best friend Paul prepares to escape to become a settler in a planet-wide land rush, but neither option interests DJ. As such, he faces a future assigned to him by the mining company that owns the space station he calls home.

When his dad goes missing, DJ finds a file containing evidence of a secret war of industrial sabotage, a file encrypted by his dad using DJ’s song LOST HELIX. Caught in a crossfire of lies, DJ must find his father and the mother he never knew.

The mining company sends Agent Coreman after DJ and his guitar, which has LOST HELIX on its hard drive. DJ and Paul escape the facility and make a run for civilization, risking their lives as stowaways, never knowing they have the means to unlock the file.

LOST HELIX takes classic science fiction concepts and asks, “But what next?” After terraforming, how does humanity go about populating their new planet? And those domed ships that take multiple generations to reach a distant planet, what happens to them after the planetary colony is established? The world of LOST HELIX explores some answers.

The story has everything a YA reader wants in a Space Opera: a bit of melodrama, a bit of realism, a bit of magic, and a lot of fun. The cold commercial environment the story moves through is peppered with warm, realistic people, each interesting in their own way, each with their own problems and goals. And there are so many people to root for: DJ the wizard with his magical ability to hack any computer, Paul the streetwise sports hero with his optimistic charm, Maya the feisty and talented stowaway who appears and disappears like a wraith, and even Coreman the villain who sees no higher calling than to preserve the status quo.

Though a small part of the novel, DJ’s confrontation with his bully will be both satisfying and enlightening. And Maya proves to be a strong female character; her romance with Paul evolves in a realistic and healthy way, providing a positive role model for young readers.

LOST HELIX is not the idealistic world of a better future where humans have evolved. It is corporate greed, space pirates, intrigue, and adventure. More than anything, LOST HELIX is good old-fashioned escapism, which we could all use right now.

Enemy of the Gods

About B0846T483N:

Unbeknownst to most humans, there is a place where our consciousness drifts when we sleep. An ancient alien race of self-proclaimed “gods” calls this realm Pangea. For millennia, they needed no intervention from us. Until now.

Oblivious to the world of dreams, neuroengineer Zeon is busy being in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. But when Pangea’s deceitful “gods” contact Zeon, he has no choice but to dive headfirst into their war–a war complicated by a band of human rebels led by the last person he’d ever expect.

If the war is lost, it’ll be the downfall of Pangea–and without a world to dream in, the entire human race will die with it.
