Commander Noa Sato doesn’t believe in aliens. She’s wrong.

Imprisoned on her home planet, accused of aiding an alien invasion, Noa witnesses the beginning of a genocide–however, the murderers are not aliens, but her own people. Launching a daring attempt to reach the Galactic Fleet, she makes an unlikely ally in stranded professor, James Sinclair.

But James is not all that he seems.

James is not the man he once was. He has technological augments that give him extraordinary abilities. His augments protect Noa and himself, but he has no memory of how he came to have them. Worse, the changes may be more than physical.

Noa’s mission and the answer to James’s mystery will put them at the center of a confrontation of galactic proportions.

A confrontation that challenges the boundaries between human and alien, man and machine.

A confrontation that might spell the doom of the entire human race.

On the wild planet of Talamh, humanity thrived…
…until the alien Alfur conquered their world.
Now, defeated and broken, humanity serves their immortal overlords.
And pleads to the stars for a hero.

Rydian Holt is nothing, nobody. Just another human from the streets of Talamh. Or at least, that’s what he thinks—until his mother is caught up in a fledgling resistance group. Branded a traitor and sentenced to fight in the arena, now Rydian must face hardened gladiators in single combat. To survive and advance through the ranks, he’ll need the help of an enigmatic weapons master—and more than a little luck.

But after a lifetime of servitude, survival is no longer enough for Rydian. He seeks a way to fight back— not just against his fellow gladiators, but against the Alfur themselves. If Rydian can uncover their greatest secret—the truth about the mysterious Light that powers their world—he might just win his freedom.

Book Reviews: The Lotus Palace Mysteries by Jeannie Lin

by

These are not my normal genre–and I think they should be called “mystery romances,” all the books have “steam”– but I love Chinese history, and these are set in the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD.) The Tang period is long before foot binding, so that is in no way part of these books. It was interesting see into the Tang justice system, the culture, and see the power struggles of the time period. I’m really drawn to characterization in fiction, and the characters, particularly in the The Jade Temptress (the book I started with, and my favorite), really jumped off the page. The first book was written for a traditional publisher, and it is good, but it is more in the style of a traditional romance–the girl gets her lord. The next books were self-published, and the heroes were not lords, and the endings did not have the heroines being ensconsed in mansions, but they had more freedom.

If you’re looking for something a little different, I recommend them.

The darkness holds more than just secrets…

Marked for death, Sabine escaped from her home more than ten years ago. 

But the Wild Hunt will never give up.

It should have been easy to stay hidden. All Sabine had to do was keep her head down, avoid telling anyone about her past, and above all else — not let her glamour drop.

Even the best-laid plans eventually fall apart.

When a charismatic stranger arrives in the city, Sabine finds herself unwittingly drawn to the power she can sense hidden within him. Keeping her distance is nearly impossible, especially after a life debt is called due and she’s tasked into helping steal a rare artifact.

Sabine is the only one who can break the magical barriers protecting the item, but that means revealing the truth about her identity and exposing her darkest secrets. 

Unfortunately, the Fae aren’t the only ones hunting her.

And the most dangerous monsters aren’t always confined to the dark.
