An all-new galaxy. A terrifying new enemy.

Exploration of Sextans B is underway via the first stable trans-galactic wormhole in recorded history. Colonel Mateo Larra takes command of Joint Base Sagittarius Arch, the visionary new space station housing diplomats, merchants, and military personnel eager to make their mark.

But with every opportunity comes opposition.

Pirates harass travelers throughout the newly charted system. Smugglers, hauling valuable contraband, slip under the CDF’s nose. Even the League of Sol continues spy games as if the war never ended. Colonel Larra barely steps aboard the Arch before facing the most daunting challenges of his storied career.

Challenges that have only begun.

Ships vanish without a trace. The mysteries deepen when one reappears like a ghost, pristine as the day she left the shipyard—without her crew. But when the League ambassador is kidnapped, his bodyguards murdered in cold blood, Colonel Larra encounters an unimaginable horror on their doorstep.

And this time, it’s a fight the Coalition can’t win.

“An epic Science Fiction political noir!” – Publisher Weekly’s BookLife review

FROM AWARD-WINNING SCREENWRITER AND DIRECTOR NOAM JOSEPHIDES, COMES THE 2024 AWARD-WINNING NOVEL ‘GENERATIONS’ – A HEART-POUNDING ROLLERCOASTER OF CONSPIRACY, LOVE, TREACHERY AND REDEMPTION ABOARD THE GENERATION-SHIP ‘THETIS’.

“Thought-provoking, innovative and brimming with emotional depth!” – SciFi Book 5-star Review

“Generations delivers a profound exploration of human values, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of truth against all odds.” – Reader’s Favorite 5-star Review

For eight generations, the Thetis has been a peaceful haven, carrying the last remnants of humanity on a journey to resettle on a new planet. Nearing its final destination, Thetis is seemingly a Utopia: egalitarian, tolerant and united. A society ready for a new beginning.

But when a strange extortion attempt targets the ship’s leader, that idyllic façade begins to crack. And when SANDRINE LIET, the introvert Archivist tasked with investigating the case starts poking around – the prime suspect mysteriously disappears.

Nobody disappears on the Thetis.

Sandrine is pulled into a web of intrigue and deception, sending her on a direct collision course with the most powerful people on the Thetis. Every step she takes, her suspicions of a grand and far-reaching conspiracy grow – as are the personal consequences for her future if she keeps pursuing the investigation.

GENERATIONS is a masterful tale of mystery, intrigue and personal sacrifice where long-buried secrets, betrayals and shifting loyalties intertwine. It is the story of the indomitable will of a woman who refuses to bow down to tyranny, and of the enduring power of truth in a world built on lies.

Praise for “Generations”:

“Generations proves as brisk and engaging as it is ambitious. It is a satisfying generation ship mystery with strong worldbuilding.” – BookLife Review

“Generations’ message hits hard, while being a fun and engaging rollercoaster.” – SciFi Book Review

Cover Artwork by Stephen Youll (A Game of Thrones, Dune)

Dive into a universe where the vibrant adventure of Indiana Jones and Uncharted meets the rich space fantasy of Dune and Star Wars. Welcome to the future of Mars—a realm teetering on the edge of discovery and disaster.

Earth is no more. Only the legends of the past remain, whispered among the settlers of Mars. The red deserts hide secrets, some ancient, some terrifyingly new. But for Raymond Redmin, a man from the 21st century mysteriously transported 200 years into the future, the biggest secret is his own presence on the planet.

The vast, intricate lore and history of this world is ripe for exploration. Walk the shifting sands alongside a medley of characters reminiscent of the American Wild West, the fearless soldiers of Starship Troopers and Halo, and the ageless courage of the noble heroes from Lord of the Rings. Traverse a terrain dotted with exo-mechs, towering humanoid machines echoing the majesty of Gundam and Mechwarrior.

Amidst the volatile politics of Martian factions, Raymond and his eclectic band—including a brave Frontier woman, a noble squad of superhuman soldiers, a brash gunslinging cowboy, a community of benevolent androids, an apprehensive drone pilot, and a loyal robotic fox—embark on a mission. Their goal? Keep the remnants of Raymond’s crashed spaceship from falling into the wrong hands, and prevent the peaceful town of Remnant from being swept up into a war that will embroil the entire planet.

Witness narratives intertwining, challenges escalating, and mysteries unveiling as the odyssey races toward a climax reminiscent of cinematic epics. Themes of honor, valor, and unforeseen romance are masterfully woven into the fabric of this adventure. And lurking behind it all, the looming question—what truly is the Red Tomorrow?

The Red Frontier beckons. Are you prepared to answer the call? Delve into a tale of duty, destiny, and the hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Raymond Redmin, a doctor from the 21st century, suddenly awakens aboard a malfunctioning spaceship. He has no recollection of how or why he ended up here, hundreds of years in the future, crashing down to the planet Mars. It has apparently been 185 years since the Earth went “silent.” The colonists of Mars have since created their own society. After centuries of war, the planet is now ruled by the utopian Zeltan Kingdom, a race of genetically engineered superhumans. However, all of the disparate factions of the planet are coming to descend upon the crash site of Raymond’s ship. Although his sudden appearance may yield some answers as to what has happened to Earth, war threatens to engulf the nearby peaceful settlement town of Remnant on the red deserts of the Frontier.

Raymond, along with a fearless young woman of the Frontier, noble Zeltan supersoldiers, benevolent androids, a quick-drawing cowboy, and faithful robotic fox companion, they set off on a harrowing journey to prevent the ship’s technology from falling into the wrong hands. Encountering menacing cyborg pirates, experimental hordes of the undead, savage evolved beasts of a treacherous dark forest, and giant robotic humanoid battle suits called exo-mechs, these heroes are the last hope for the red tomorrow…

Editor’s Note: I read this last year. It’s lovely. It will keep you up late and flipping virtual pages. Recommended.

When three people suffer strokes after seeing dazzling lights over Edinburgh, then awake completely recovered, they’re convinced their ordeal is connected to the alien creature discovered on a nearby beach… an adrenaline-soaked, deeply humane, life-affirming first-contact novel from one of Scotland’s most revered authors…

Lennox is a troubled teenager with no family. Ava is eight months pregnant and fleeing her abusive husband. Heather is a grieving mother and cancer sufferer. They don’t know each other, but when a meteor streaks over Edinburgh, all three suffer instant, catastrophic strokes…

…only to wake up the following day in hospital, miraculously recovered.

When news reaches them of an octopus-like creature washed up on the shore near where the meteor came to earth, Lennox senses that some extra-terrestrial force is at play. With the help of Ava, Heather and a journalist, Ewan, he rescues the creature they call ‘Sandy’ and goes on the run.

But they aren’t the only ones with an interest in the alien … close behind are Ava’s husband, the police and a government unit who wants to capture the creature, at all costs. And Sandy’s arrival may have implications beyond anything anyone could imagine…
