A brutal Ice Age grips the Earth… and survival hangs by a thread.

When an ambitious experiment to reverse climate change spirals out of control, the planet is plunged into an eternal winter. With temperatures dropping to unthinkable lows and chaos sweeping through the remnants of civilization, Jarred and his daughter Hope have no choice but to head south—or die trying.

Their journey takes a deadly turn when their car skids off the icy road, leaving them stranded in a frozen wilderness. Battling the relentless cold and dwindling resources, they soon discover they’re not alone in the snowbound forest.

Fiona, a hardened survivalist, has built a refuge stocked with everything she needs to endure. But when Benjy, a determined forest ranger with secrets of his own, seeks her help, her fragile sanctuary is thrown into turmoil.

As marauders stalk the frozen rivers and a ruthless warlord tightens his iron grip on the desperate, Jarred, Hope, Fiona, and Benjy are forced to band together. Their only chance of survival lies in a perilous trek southward—through a landscape where the cold isn’t the only thing that kills.

Endless Winter: Parts I & II delivers over 1,900 pages of heart-pounding action, desperate survival, and a fight for humanity at the edge of extinction. Will they endure… or will the ice claim them all?

When archaeologist Leah Andrews uncovers a well-preserved Anasazi cliff dwelling deep within a New Mexico cavern, she discovers more than just relics: the site reveals evidence of a violent massacre—and a crystal found only in one location on Earth: Antarctica.

The implications are staggering. Could ancient Native Americans have reached the icy continent centuries before modern explorers?

To uncover the truth, Leah turns to her estranged husband, Jack Hobson, a rugged climbing guide who harbors secrets of his own. Together, they embark on a perilous expedition to the bottom of the world—where far greater dangers than the cold lie in wait.

As nations rush to stake their claims and a shadow war ignites over the secrets buried in the ice, Leah and Jack must navigate both the harsh elements and a conspiracy that could lead to nuclear war.

Perfect for fans of James Rollins, Steve Berry, and Clive Cussler, ICE is a gripping thriller where ancient mysteries, cutting-edge science, and geopolitical intrigue collide.

Perfect for an entry-level sci-fi reader and the ideal addition to a veteran fan’s collection, John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War will take audiences on a heart-stopping adventure into the far corners of the universe.

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife’s grave. Then he joined the army.

The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce-and aliens willing to fight for them are common. The universe, it turns out, is a hostile place.

So: we fight. To defend Earth (a target for our new enemies, should we let them get close enough) and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has gone on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding.

Earth itself is a backwater. The bulk of humanity’s resources are in the hands of the Colonial Defense Force, which shields the home planet from too much knowledge of the situation. What’s known to everybody is that when you reach retirement age, you can join the CDF. They don’t want young people; they want people who carry the knowledge and skills of decades of living. You’ll be taken off Earth and never allowed to return. You’ll serve your time at the front. And if you survive, you’ll be given a generous homestead stake of your own, on one of our hard-won colony planets.

John Perry is taking that deal. He has only the vaguest idea what to expect. Because the actual fight, light-years from home, is far, far harder than he can imagine-and what he will become is far stranger.

A promising young mercenary’s future gets thrown into jeopardy after a fateful encounter with an alien in the start to a propulsive space opera series perfect for fans of Firefly and Killjoys.

“Devi is hands-down one of the best sci-fi heroines I’ve read in a long time.” RT Book Reviews

Devi Morris isn’t your average mercenary. She has plans. Big ones. And a ton of ambition. It’s a combination that’s going to get her killed one day — but not just yet.


That is, until she just gets a job on a tiny trade ship with a nasty reputation for surprises. The Glorious Fool isn’t misnamed: it likes to get into trouble, so much so that one year of security work under its captain is equal to five years everywhere else. With odds like that, Devi knows she’s found the perfect way to get the jump on the next part of her Plan. But the Fool doesn’t give up its secrets without a fight, and one year on this ship might be more than even Devi can handle.

The fate of humanity rests in the hands of a rogue running from her past and a commander exiled for his failures in this action-packed space opera romance with a swoon worthy slow burn set 10,000 years after Earth in a time where pilots are bonded with their sentient starships for life and a signal in the void threatens to destroy everything.

Earth That Was has faded into myth. After millenia spent wandering, humans are no longer nomads. Twelve tribes stand allied under the United Tribal Axis; but there is a signal in the darkness that threatens to destroy everything.

All Skyla wanted after leaving the Navy was to be left alone. Just her ship, the stars, and a new adventure. But when a strange virus disables her ship, she is thrown into the middle of a conflict she doesn’t understand, forcing her to take on responsibilities she swore she never would again.

Hinata always followed the rules, honor above all else. He always won, until he didn’t. Sentenced to exile for his failures, he is determined to prove himself, until a mysterious woman arrives on his station and chaos threatens to break already fragile alliances.

Freyja was always angry, an outcast, playing the part of admiral and black ops operative. But she is tired of being a pawn in the Empress’ games and when she’s stranded on the wrong side of enemy lines after a vengeful battle, she’s forced to ally with her adversaries to clear her name.

A Rogue.
A Commander.
And an Admiral.

Brought together by circumstance, held together by duty.
Can they find a way to work together to save humanity?
