Featured Sci-fi: Four Minutes by Brian Andrews & Jeff Wilson

99¢ as of February 2, 2025
Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia

Four Minutes is the latest brilliant techno-thriller from the New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling duo behind the Sons of Valor series.

It is said that no plan survives first contact with the enemy, but what if you remove the one thing no one can control: uncertainty about the future?

Special Operations Chief Tyler Brooks might not know quantum mechanics, or have an eidetic memory, but he is the very best in the world at one thing: leading covert ops. When an unpredictable enemy causes the catastrophic loss of his entire SEAL team, Brooks is recruited by Pat Moody to lead a new elite squad, Task Force Omega. Moody’s promise—access to mind-bending tech that grants a glimpse of the future.

Together with Navy Intelligence Specialist Zee Williams, Brooks leads a new kind of counterterrorism task force, one that collects intel from the future to stop attacks in the present. But there’s a catch. Each mission can only last FOUR MINUTES. Stakes quickly escalate when Omega discovers an unprecedented future attack against America threatening the lives of millions—including Tyler’s daughter.

Despite their prescient advantage, Brooks and Williams find themselves thwarted at every turn as they try to stop the plot. To make matters worse, they have somehow gone from hunter to hunted, targeted by an unknown enemy hidden in the shadows. With the country on the brink of nuclear war, Tyler’s daughter in mortal danger, and a commanding officer they’re not sure they can trust, Omega Team faces a terrible dilemma: Even if you know the future, is FOUR MINUTES enough time to change it?

A smuggler, a stowaway slave, and a pirate find themselves on a collision course deep in the no-man’s-land of space, tracking a mystery that’s centuries old.

Maurice “Moss” Foote is down to his last hundred credits, which he needs to get his old ship back and start over. Again. But then, Moss is so familiar with rock bottom he has his mail forwarded there.

Hel was born a slave, or maybe she wasn’t. It’s confusing, just like the compulsion that keeps her building… something. When she sees an opportunity to escape aboard a ship, she takes it, not realizing the trouble she’s in for.

Roy “Hellno” Herzog is a pirate who prefers to work alone. Now he’s got a lead on a prize so big it could set him up for life, if he can stomach working with other people. All he has to do is track down one runaway slave.

“An action-packed space romp with a dry sense of humor that will appeal to fans of The Orville who wish that show was more like Firefly.” – Marcus Alexander Hart of the Galaxy Cruise series

An ancient legend. A snarky sword. And a reluctant hero who’s about to regret everything.

Nate Arturi never wanted to save the world. He wanted to graduate, land a decent job, and maybe figure out why his neighbor’s corgi keeps climbing onto roofs. But when a deranged alien beacon wakes up on Earth, Nate’s mundane life goes up in smoke—literally.

Ambushed by an alien monster, saddled with a sarcastic sword, and scammed by a scruffy wizard claiming to be the Merlin, Nate is thrown into an adventure that’s way above his pay grade. Worse still, an alien armada is gunning for Earth, and Nate might be the only thing standing between humanity and fiery oblivion.

But saving Earth is just the beginning. To survive, Nate must rise from reluctant hero to full-blown legend, even if it means facing galaxy-spanning conspiracies, ancient grudges, and more foul-mouthed AI sass than anyone should have to endure.

The Excalibur Knights Saga Omnibus brings together the first three explosive novels (The Eighth Excalibur, The Black Knight, and Spoils of War) with several exclusive bonus stories from the universe.
