This epic space opera from the father of the genre is an “adventure of an unprecedented kind . . . The first great ‘classic’ of American science fiction” (Isaac Asimov).
 
From Science Fiction– and Fantasy Hall of Fame–inductee E. E. Smith, The Skylark of Space chronicles the groundbreaking adventures of scientist Richard Seaton. After stumbling upon the secrets of atomic energy during a laboratory accident, Seaton partners with wealthy engineer Martin Crane, eager to share his discovery with the world by creating space travel. But this life-changing invention brings grave danger as greedy competitors want to exploit Seaton’s secret for their own means, including the unscrupulous Dr. Marc “Blackie” DuQuesne. But DuQuesne’s attempt to destroy Seaton and Crane sends the three men out into deep space, where their struggle to persevere leads to an epic tale of intergalactic space battles.
 
“With the exception of the works of H. G. Wells, possibly those of Jules Verne—and almost no other writer—[The Skylark of Space] has . . . done more to change the nature of all the science fiction written after it than almost any other single work.” —Frederik Pohl, Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author

With stakes this high, humanity doesn’t need a hero. They need someone who can win.

**Series complete! (5 books)**

Willem Jaantzen didn’t ask to be a hero. He just wants to keep his family safe in the shifting sands of Bulari’s underground—and to get the city’s upper crust to acknowledge just how far he’s come since his days as an orphaned street kid. With his businesses thriving and his dark past swept into the annals of history, it looks like he has everything he could ever ask for. Until, that is, his oldest rival turns up murdered and the blame—and champagne—begins to flow.

It turns out Thala Coeur died as she lived: sowing chaos. And when a mysterious package bearing her call sign shows up on Jaantzen’s doorstep, he and his family are quickly swallowed up in a web of lies, betrayals, and interplanetary politics. It’ll only take one stray spark to start another civil war in the underworld, and Jaantzen’s going to have to pull out every play from his notorious past if he wants to keep his city from going up in flames.

Jaantzen never wanted to be a hero, but that might just be a good thing. Because a hero could never stop the trouble that’s heading humanity’s way.

DOUBLE EDGED is the first book of the Bulari Saga, a five book series featuring gunfights, dinner parties, explosions, motorcycle chases, underworld intrigue, and a fiercely plucky found family who have each other’s backs at every step. Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Firefly, and The Godfather. Download Double Edged and start the adventure today.

Nick Hall awakens with powerful implants in his brain and assassins on his tail. And the future of humanity depends on his survival. Now the subject of an upcoming movie franchise!

When Nick Hall awakens inside a dumpster, bloodied and without a memory, he can’t imagine how things could get worse. But that’s before multiple assassins promptly start trying to kill him. Hall soon discovers that revolutionary electronics have been implanted in his brain, allowing him to wield the internet with his thoughts alone. Even more astonishingly—he can also read minds! Now, no secret is safe, and ruthless players around the world won’t rest until he’s dead.

But who inserted the implants? And why? And what secrets are hidden away in his own lost memory? If he can somehow survive long enough to answer these questions, he’ll change the world. Because his actions can either catapult civilization to new heights—or bring about its total collapse.

Based on actual research on neural implants and thought-controlled web surfing, and foreshadowing the emergence of brain implant companies such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink, Mind’s Eye is a smart, roller-coaster ride of a thriller. One that raises a number of intriguing, and sometimes chilling, possibilities about an extraordinary future that is just around the corner.

Mind’s Eye is the first pulse-pounding entry in a series of brilliant science-fiction thrillers. From the NY Times bestselling author whose books have sold over 3 million copies.

“Richards is a worthy successor to Michael Crichton.” (SF Book)

“Richards is an extraordinary writer,”(Dean Koontz) who can “keep you turning the pages all night long.”(Douglas Preston)
