An ex-cop who cannot die. A moon full of settlers who cannot thrive.

Mahina’s terraformers built a high-tech urban paradise. Then Earth flooded the colony with desperate refugees, cop Sass Collier among them.

The settlers who arrived with Sass died decades ago. Outside the citadel, their descendants die weak and young.

Sass fought a rebellion against the city once. She won concessions to give the settlers a chance at health. She paid with 20 years in prison.

Now she’s out, a reformed character. She assembles an oddball crew doing odd jobs. She intends to mind her own business – how to make a profit on the skyship Thrive.

But her fellow settlers are still failing.

While her business model careens toward circus acts, Sass dares to defy the city again, to solve Mahina’s failure to thrive.

This omnibus box set explores the Aloha home system: Skyship Thrive, Spaceship Thrive, and Interplanetary Thrive – 930 pages!

Pick up Aloha Thrive because you love upbeat character-driven SF with fun technology. Suggested for fans of Firefly, Lindsay Buroker’s Star Kingdom, or Nathan Lowell’s Golden Age of the Solar Clipper books.

City of Blaze Volume 1 of the Fireblade Array

Kobo, iBooks, Nook

Epic Fantasy. Magic. Love.

The city is failing and no one else can see it. Its soldiers exploit the castle’s servants, confident that deadly wielders have been exterminated; wars are fought to encourage otherwise absent mortality; countless people suffer from the terrible pangs of nalka, the hunger for intimacy; and all the while its king concerns himself with choosing which of his disappointing concubines to execute next.

The duty falls upon the king’s son, Kahr Morghiad of House Sete’an, to restore the city’s strength and the army’s purpose. In his attempts to right these wrongs, he uncovers darker horrors and encounters a woman with forbidden powers – a woman who could be his greatest ally or his greatest threat.

The Empress Capsule by R.K. Thorne

A dangerous new passenger. A ship full of elite women marines. A package containing a terrible secret.

Meet Kael Sidassian: disgruntled mercenary and glorified guard of doors. Forced into a life he would never have chosen as a cyborg merc, he’s lost not only his freedom but also his ability to feel anything—or appreciate the opposite sex—because of his cybernetic augmentations. That is, until last week when a renegade scientist blew the lock off his testosterone and reopened his eyes.

A chance to free himself has landed in Kael’s lap. He can run and hope his “employers” forget he was ever born. He just needs to get a ride off this backwater planet and deliver the strange capsule that’s been foisted on him. One last mission.

Unfortunately for Kael, there’s only one ride off this planet. And it’s on the starship Audacity, led by famed war veteran Commander Ellen Ryu and her elite marines. Dangerous, competent, well-trained, female marines.

Commander Ryu is not to be trifled with, and she doesn’t trust easily. And she certainly doesn’t appreciate flirting. As an enemy rises to face them both, Ryu could be Kael’s savior—or the one to finally end him.

Because these women are on a hidden mission to seek and destroy abuses of technology anywhere in the galaxy.

Abuses like the strange capsule hidden in his cabin.

For lovers of sci-fi adventure with a side of romance in the tradition of Lindsay Buroker, David Weber, Elizabeth Moon, and Lois McMaster Bujold, THE EMPRESS CAPSULE is the first volume in the Audacity Saga.

What happens when heroes are as broken as the world they must reforge?

A mad king’s genocide destroyed Alea’s home and left her sanity in tatters. Wracked with grief, she now faces a lonely life in a strange city. The war has other plans. Caught in the crossfire between the gods and their creators, Alea’s new friend Arman abandons his idyllic jeweler’s life—and his humanity—to protect them both from the coming terror.

Across enemy lines, bastard lieutenant Brentemir Barrackborn is horrified by the blood on his hands. If he has any hope of redemption—or surviving the war—he must choose between his newfound family and the gods he worships.

As Arman and Brentemir’s sacrifices grow, Alea realizes that only the darkness inside her can end the bloodshed.
