The war taught humanity how to fight.

Now they must learn to turn their swords into plowshares.

Fleet Captain Elias Ravn means to try.

He built the CFSV Endurance to explore, not destroy, and now he takes ten ships four thousand light-years past the last charted star with a single order: find what’s out there, and offer it our hand.

But the frontier doesn’t want a handshake.

Insectoid hunters harvest creatures that drift between the stars on waves of gravity. A long-lost human nation hides behind warships larger than the Coalition’s and won’t say why. In ancient ruins, someone carved those same creatures in stone.

Builders who left no writing at all, and no name.

The hunters call their prey beasts. But the beasts shield their wounded, and the man who built a ship for peace begins to fear he’s arrived in time to watch a slaughter he can’t stop.

And there is one question Ravn can’t shake: who made them?

Beyond Range is the first book in Far Frontier, a new series from bestselling author Daniel Gibbs. If you love the wonder of Strange New Worlds, the military grit of the Lost Fleet, and the exploration heart of the Bobiverse, climb aboard the Endurance.

The frontier is waiting.

A galaxy-conquering alien fleet …

… is on Earth’s doorstep.

A formidable alien armada stands on the brink of vanquishing the cosmos, their gaze set firmly on every inhabited world. The last line of defense? An eclectic crew of improbable champions: a maverick starfighter pilot, a daredevil stuntwoman, a lethal super-assassin, and a cosmic prankster with alien tricks up his sleeves. Their mission: to shield not just humanity, but billions of other intelligent lifeforms spanning the multiverse.

Meet Jim, a quick-witted pilot grappling with OCD, planning to propose to his love when his life is disrupted by the sudden appearance of his blood-soaked friend, Kurt. This unexpected twist spirals Jim’s life into a chaotic vortex of complicated problems which include time travel and visits from alternate universes, with an impending galactic war threatening the very fabric of human existence at its core.

Can this unlikely rag-tag group of heroes overcome their dysfunctions to shield first the galaxy and then the multiverse from the relentless onslaught of invincible alien forces?

By 2106, Britain is ruled by a brutal caste system. The whims of sovereign gentry are the only ‘laws’. Disappearance is the only ‘justice’.

Donald Aldingford is a lawyer who has perfected the art of not looking too hard at the system that provides his lifestyle. But when disaster strikes his life, he is forced to confront the evil of those he serves. His brother Lawrence is wrongly condemned to a forced-labour camp. In order to try and free him, Donald has to break inside the revolutionary movement. His clients will kill him if they find out.

Lawrence has also been learning all about the evils of the system he served so faithfully. He is struggling to survive in a place of uniquely diabolical operation, where misery is transformed into gold with a remorselessness matched only by the man who runs it. He yearns to escape and tell the world of these atrocities. He could spark a revolution.

But Donald’s rescue efforts are getting dangerously close.

The first of a five-book serial, Death by Decent Society draws the reader into the kind of violent, despotic society that ours could become. Yet it is also a story of ordinary people achieving extraordinary feats through the will to survive. It will appeal to fans of The Hunger Games, Legend, Ship Breaker, The Postman and other dystopian adventures.

Old Fashioned Science Fiction

A thousand specially selected people leave a troubled Earth for a new start on a virgin world many years away. Their starship is state-of-the-art and entirely automatic; its passengers safely sleeping through the long journey. All possible scenarios have been taken into account except one. There is no way to predict sabotage.

Al Clark wakes to begin a new life, alone on a crippled starship with no memory of what transpired to place him there.

It is the beginning of a quest that will take him places he could not have imagined, manage feats he would not have thought possible, and teach him the true meaning of friendship.

Tane only wanted space to breathe.

Tane joins the Navjaro colony to get out of the overcrowded Sol system. This is a chance to put his past behind him and have a new start. Unfortunately, one painful part of his past is on the colony ship, too.

Now Tane’s future is as damaged as the ship they’re on.

Tane is saddled with the blame. Already disliked by many of the colonists, Tane wonders if things can get worse. As it turns out, yes, they can. But not just for Tane, who soon finds him in the middle of everything and everywhere.

More than just the colony depends on what Tane does next. But it requires him to do something he’s never done before.

Can he do it? Or is the colony doomed to fail?

In the tradition of Andre Norton’s Catseye, Philip Wylie & Edwin Balmer’s When World’s Collide , and Elizabeth Moon’s Remnant Population, Novjaro is an adventure into human possibilities and resilience.
