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.

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.

Earth is gone.
Humanity has one last world.

On the distant planet DaVinci, the survivors of Earth’s fungal apocalypse try to build a future. But the alien Bloom that blankets the planet carries a devastating side effect: no child can be born.

Until one scientist breaks the rules.

Dr. Samara Makinde engineers the impossible… a daughter designed to survive the alien world. The child should save humanity.

Instead, she changes it.

Across generations, DaVinci becomes a battleground. Geneticists push the limits of human evolution. Religious zealots rise in rebellion. Hybrid outcasts blur the line between human and alien. And when a mysterious billionaire arrives with cyborg servants and technology centuries beyond anything the colony possesses, the fight for humanity’s future turns into something far more dangerous.

Because survival isn’t the only thing at stake.

Who gets to decide what humanity becomes?

The Echoes of Tomorrowbox set contains the complete four-book science fiction saga by Alexander Titus and Sean Platt, a sweeping, cinematic story of alien worlds, forbidden science, rogue machines, and the evolution of the human race.

On a routine border patrol, pilot Zane Lucas encounters a mysterious cluster of drones. When he reports it to the Scorpius head office, they quickly sweep it under the intergalactic rug and place him on leave.

That same night, Zane is contacted by an estate lawyer from the distant planet Earth and learns he’s the sole beneficiary of a person he’s never met. Determined to get answers, he finds himself thrust into a dead man’s quest, along with a resourceful colleague, Julia Rossi.

Zane’s mission is tied to an old myth based on The Forever World book.

His father used to read it at bedtime, before he went missing during a bloody war with the Gral twenty years earlier. Their alliance is on the brink of collapse and the revolution is just beginning.

Can Zane find The Forever World, if it in fact exists?

Would this fabled planet help restore the balance?

Time is running out, and the drones are multiplying.
