Battlefield Earth

About Battlefield Earth:

Only 35,000 humans remain…

…and the aliens hunt them for sport.

Is this the end of the world or the dawn of a new one?

In the year A.D. 3000, Earth is a dystopian wasteland. The great cities stand crumbling as a brutal reminder of what we once were. When the Psychlos invaded, all the world’s armies mustered little resistance.

A young hero rises from the ashes and rallies the survivors in an all-out rebellion for freedom that explodes across the continents of Earth to the cosmic sprawl of the Psychlo empire.

The fate of the Galaxy lies on the Battlefield of Earth.

This is one of the finest examples of science fiction ever written, with nuance, sub-plots, and action all the way through—a masterpiece at over 1,000 pages.

You’ll love this epic science fiction classic because, Brandon Sanderson describes, it is “pulse-pounding mile-a-minute sci-fi action adventure that does not stop. It is a masterpiece of popular adventure science fiction.”

Three Kinds of North by Jon Sparks

About Three Kinds of North by Jon Sparks:

Jerya, an orphan girl, grows toward adulthood in the remote village of Delven. Housed in caves, the village lies below great mountains, beyond which, folklore tells, lie the deadly Blistered Lands. Jerya delights in reading Delven’s scanty collection of books, wandering the forest and moors, and exercising her inquiring mind. Then, one day, her tranquil life is changed forever.
Unexpectedly despatched to join the Guild of Dawnsingers, Jerya immerses herself eagerly in new knowledge and new ideas. She discovers mathematics and astronomy and much more, and finds tantalising hints about the ending of the Age Before and the origins of the Guild. She finds new depths in herself too, along with her first real taste of love.
However, Jerya learns things which lead her to question the true purpose of the Guild and the basis on which its authority rests. Before long she finds herself facing an appalling and irrevocable choice. Will she accept the rationale for the Guild’s existence, and its power, in order to continue her exhilarating journey of intellectual discovery? Or will she break her recent vows, leave the Guild, and embark on a much more hazardous journey to a far less certain destination?

Three Kinds of North by Jon Sparks

About Three Kinds of North by Jon Sparks:

A distant future. A world transformed.
Remnants of a shattered moon traverse the skies, memorials to an ancient and nearly-forgotten conflict. In an isolated northern land, society is overseen by the reclusive, all-female, Guild of Dawnsingers, which holds a monopoly on advanced learning. Life seems peaceful and well-ordered; but are the Dawnsingers as benevolent as they seem? What secrets are they hiding?
And what really lies beyond the mountains in the East?
Orphan Jerya unexpectedly finds a home in the Dawnsingers’ Guild, but her new life turns sour. Soon she finds herself struggling to reconcile the exhilaration of learning with her growing doubts about the very basis of the Guild’s rule. Ultimately she faces an agonising choice which could utterly change her life, and the lives of her two most trusted friends.
Award-winning outdoor writer Jon Sparks turns to speculative fiction in the first book of the genre-stretching Shattered Moon series.

The Station is a city buried deep beneath the surface of a frozen, lifeless earth, its origins lost in the mists of time. Josh’s frequent rule-breaking exploits are focused on a single question – how did we get here?

Deciphering an encrypted journal hidden for centuries, Josh learns that the Black Heart, a computer complex sealed off after an ancient asteroid strike, may hold the answers he’s been seeking, and may be all that can save the city from certain annihilation. When the deranged head of the Council is determined to demolish the Black Heart and doom them all, Josh leads a desperate battle to stop him.

But can Josh and his tiny band of followers prevail in time to avert catastrophe?

WhiteSpace by Sean Platt

About Featured Book: WhiteSpace by Sean Platt

From the authors of the bestselling series, Yesterday’s Gone comes the roller coaster ride of a sci-fi serial thriller, WhiteSpace: Season One.

Hamilton Island looks like the perfect home. Maybe it would be, if it wasn’t filled with tomorrow’s nightmares…

The Puget Sound bedroom community has it all — beautiful homes with white picket fences, a thriving tech sector, and one of the best school systems in the state.

But not everything is as it seems.

People on the island go missing all the time.

Its residents are being watched.

And controlled.

When a school shooting rocks the quiet community Jon Conway returns home to make peace with his past and care for the daughter he never knew he had. When his daughter goes missing, he follows a broken trail of family secrets and betrayal that may just end him.

Cassidy Hughes has never been able to live in her twin sister’s shadow. Now that her twin is dead, Cass must overcome an addiction to pills to care for her niece. But she starts to remember something that happened long ago — something that is still happening on Hamilton Island today.

Milo Anderson was lucky to survive the school shooting. However, as he’s about to learn, the shooting wasn’t nearly as random as it seemed. And when someone reaches out claiming to know the truth, Milo is convinced he’s being watched. He also wonders how much his best friend, Alex, knows so much about the shooting.

WhiteSpace is a character-driven, mysterious, creepy, paranoid, sci-fi thriller that reads like the literary version of a televised serial with the mysteries of LOST and the future paranoia of Black Mirror. Read the whole series today.

The Blue Race

About The Blue Race:

Who will prevail in the struggle to control the Galaxy? Will it be the ruthlessly efficient Engus, or humanity’s AI-powered ConChain?

Heber Adogan and his sister Durvel are orphans from a near-extinct race of outcasts. They never asked to be made pawns in this galactic game of chess. It’s their unique telepathic ability that makes them so valuable. But it’s the same ability that turned their people into pariahs and led to a genocide, which all but wiped them out. Now their employers at humanity’s secretive Xeno Research Division want to exploit that ability again, to gain the edge over their Engus enemies.

The Engus have discovered clues to the location of a long-lost alien technology that seems certain to upset the balance of power in their favour. If Heber can’t stop them taking it, the very survival of humanity is at stake. To make matters worse, the clues point to a far-flung region of space that is jealously guarded by a reclusive race of inscrutable aliens. No outsider has ever succeeded in breaching it.

Worryingly, the Engus seem to have found a way in though. Can Heber slip through also, and make up lost ground against the enemy team who have gone ahead of them?

Join Heber and his comrades in a chase around the galaxy that turns into a frantic game of cat and mouse, as they try to get the upper hand against the aggressive aliens who massacred his people, and who now have all humanity in their sights.

Senan Mahon’s science-fiction thriller The Blue Race paints a vivid picture of humanity’s future in space, with original concepts that will appeal to fans of Iain M. Banks and Larry Niven.

THE BUSH CLINIC: Book I of The Tribal Wars by Stella Atrium

THE BUSH CLINIC: Book I of The Tribal Wars by Stella Atrium

In this series opener, Dr. Greensboro works with tribal women on Dolvia to resist the oppressive rule of Rabbenu Ely. She mentors Brianna Miller (after a fashion) but is disappointed when Brianna chooses to follow a colleague with hopes to jump back to Earth.

“Addressing fears of recreating oppressive traditions on other worlds, this space colonization novel is far more than standard sci-fi, it is a femme-led examination of our societal ills, and a celebration of the strength found through open-mindedness and sisterhood. With diverse narrative voices, remarkably detailed world-building, and a strong coming-of-age theme for characters and communities alike, this is a powerful start to a new series.” Self-Publishing Review
