The chance to leave Earth for a vibrant new world is finally here.

Nearly half a million people will board the Colossus for a two-year journey across space.

But not every passenger has come for the right reasons.

Sergeant Sawyer Flint is a last-minute replacement to lead a team of savvy detectives on the Colossus. He has only days to recruit his team and get everything in order before reporting to the Colony Ship.

On the upper decks will be some of the wealthiest people from planet Earth. Some are famous, others infamous. They will live in close quarters with experts and specialists from a variety of practical fields that are needed to help build a colony from scratch. The lower decks are packed tight with people from every nation on planet Earth. Chosen by a worldwide lottery, they are desperate to escape to a new world full of opportunity and promise. And while every passenger was supposed to be vetted, some have gamed the system in their favor and have little regard for rules of any kind. They will all be under the jurisdiction of the Special Investigation Unit. Part SWAT team, part Intelligence squad, the SIU will be tasked with solving crimes on the massive spaceship where there are a million places to hide, but no escape.

Colossus is a Science Fiction Police Procedural from master storyteller Toby Neighbors. It’s a fast-paced, multi-viewpoint, adventure in a unique setting. If you like The Expanse, Harry Bosch, and Firefly, you’ll love Colossus.

Yellowstone meets The Day After Tomorrow in this gripping geological suspense about two people consumed by a decade of grudges, forced to survive a crumbling, angry Earth.

When an asteroid knocks the moon off its axis, scientists predict Earth’s eventual destruction. But years pass with life mostly unchanged—until volcanoes erupt, wildfires spread, and sinkholes swallow entire cities.

And the cruelest twist? You have to survive the apocalypse with the person who destroyed your family long before the world began to burn.

Ten years ago, Ava’s uncle took everything from the Bennett family, leaving both her and Knox orphaned and branded by a tragedy neither could control. She spent the decade as the town pariah while Knox perfected the art of avoiding her because befriending her felt like a betrayal to his grief.

As the world fractures around them, Ava’s blackout spells worsen and Knox’s father disappears before fate delivers a final cruel twist: they need each other to survive. And when tomorrow isn’t guaranteed, and the earth is hell-bent on destroying everything, some grudges are worth dying for… and some love is worth defying the end of the world.

From the author of The Ending Series and Savage North Chronicles comes Skies of Fire, a cli-fi adventure about forging a future when everything feels broken, and discovering that love can heal even the deepest wounds.

The world needed a hero. Instead, they got Jack.

Dr. Erik Manheim needed a warrior. A Navy SEAL. Someone who could help him confront the threat he uncovered in ancient ruins—evidence that a rogue planet brings devastation every time it passes Earth.

Instead, he got Jack Schafer, hung-over bush pilot in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now Jack is swept into a mission he was never meant to survive—one that stretches from Alaskan wilderness to the stars beyond. Humanity’s future hangs in the balance… and its best hope may be a reluctant pilot who wasn’t supposed to be here at all.

Accidental Astronaut is a gripping, fast-paced blend of survival thriller and epic science fiction—perfect for fans of Andy Weir, Michael Crichton, and James Rollins.
