“Technology changes us—even our bodies—in fundamental ways, and Kunsken handles this wonderfully” – Cixin Liu

THE ULTIMATE HEIST

Belisarius is a Homo quantus, engineered with impossible insight. But his gift is also a curse—an uncontrollable, even suicidal drive to know, to understand. Genetically flawed, he leaves his people to find a different life, and ends up becoming the galaxy’s greatest con man and thief.

But the jobs are getting too easy and his extraordinary brain is chafing at the neglect. When a client offers him untold wealth to move a squadron of secret warships across an enemy wormhole, Belisarius jumps at it. Now he must embrace his true nature to pull off the job, alongside a crew of extraordinary men and women.

If he succeeds, he could trigger an interstellar war… or the next step in human evolution.

★★★★★ “Genius! Brilliant, original world building, fast paced, insightful. Best in many years.” – Amazon Reviewer

A box set that’s out of this world and timeline!

Dr. Albert Snowden just wanted to be there for his niece, Emily, after the loss of her father. Being abducted by aliens has made that challenging…being rescued by a space-time traveling alien might make it impossible!

The Awakening—Book 1 of the Evaran Chronicles

What happens when a space and time traveler interferes with an alien abduction?

Dr. Albert Snowden just wanted to take care of his niece, Emily. The last thing he expected was to end up in a virtual simulation on a damaged alien ship in another galaxy one year into the future. Unfortunately, the ship’s power is failing, releasing apex predators that were captured by the aliens.

Enter Evaran, a space and time traveler, and V, his trusty mobile artificial intelligence, who help those in need…unfortunately, before the end of the rescue mission, Albert may have to rescue the rescuers.

The Fredorian Destiny—Book 2 of the Evaran Chronicles

The timeline is wrong. This is discovered when Dr. Albert Snowden and his niece, Emily, travel with Evaran to a galactic cultural exhibition event on Kreagus, the capital home world of the Kreagan Star Empire and galactic superpower near Earth.

The Fredorians should be presenting an ancient artifact, known as the Arkaron, to the Kreagan emperor; but somehow the artifact has lost three of its crystals. To restore the timeline, the crystals must be found, a difficult job in of itself–made harder by a price on their heads!

The Purification—Book 3 of the Evaran Chronicles

The past has changed, and the timeline has been updated.

Dr. Albert Snowden and his niece, Emily, experience this while traveling on Evaran’s temporally shielded space-and-time-traveling ship. They discover is that humanity has taken a different path, one that has made Evaran decide to interfere and change human history.

Discovering what caused the change is one issue. Dealing with the nonhuman factions in Earth’s past is another.

“Do-overs” are possible.

Elle awakens on a spaceship. Her body is different, she has new magical abilities, and she’s told her civilization’s fate is in her hands.

Paired with a diverse team of magically enhanced companions, Elle embarks on an interstellar quest to protect the Hegemony by sealing the Master Archive, the backup for the crystalline network. With only vague clues to guide them, Elle and her new friends must track down ancient relics and unravel hidden secrets before their worlds and loved are lost in shadow forever.

The Vacuum of Space - Space Janitor One by Julia Huni

99¢ as of July 1, 2020 6AM
Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany

It’s a dirty galaxy and someone has to clean it.

Avoiding the wealthy inhabitants on the upper levels of Station Kelly Kornienko is bot-programmer Triana’s number one rule. Well, number two, right after “eat all the chocolate.”

But when one of her cleaning bots finds a dead body, all the rules go out the airlock.  A highly connected security agent interrupts her routine with stories of missing bodies, and Triana can’t ignore him; it’s cooperate or find a new job. A girl has to pay the rent, even on a crappy studio compartment.

Working with a shiny detective beats a shuttle dirt-side, so Triana lends her programming skills to Agent O’Neill’s investigation. Together, they find more victims and evidence of a major cover-up.

It will take all Triana’s technical talents, most of O’Neill’s connections, and some really excellent croissants to stop the murders, save her job, and ultimately, her life.

The Vacuum of Space is the first book in a completed series.

★★★★★ “… a lighthearted vision of the future aboard a space station populated by a cast of quirky and memorable characters.”

Aloha Thrive Books 1 - 3 by Ginger Booth

Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany

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.
