The chance to leave Earth for a vibrant new world is finally here.

Nearly half a million people will board the Colossus for a two-year journey across space.

But not every passenger has come for the right reasons.

Sergeant Sawyer Flint is a last-minute replacement to lead a team of savvy detectives on the Colossus. He has only days to recruit his team and get everything in order before reporting to the Colony Ship.

On the upper decks will be some of the wealthiest people from planet Earth. Some are famous, others infamous. They will live in close quarters with experts and specialists from a variety of practical fields that are needed to help build a colony from scratch. The lower decks are packed tight with people from every nation on planet Earth. Chosen by a worldwide lottery, they are desperate to escape to a new world full of opportunity and promise. And while every passenger was supposed to be vetted, some have gamed the system in their favor and have little regard for rules of any kind. They will all be under the jurisdiction of the Special Investigation Unit. Part SWAT team, part Intelligence squad, the SIU will be tasked with solving crimes on the massive spaceship where there are a million places to hide, but no escape.

Colossus is a Science Fiction Police Procedural from master storyteller Toby Neighbors. It’s a fast-paced, multi-viewpoint, adventure in a unique setting. If you like The Expanse, Harry Bosch, and Firefly, you’ll love Colossus.

Qod is a goblin—a rather small, unassuming goblin who would much rather be eating rat cracks and reading books at home. And that’s what he was doing when he was conscripted into the Army of the Mist to fight the invading Light forces.

Cannon fodder doesn’t need to be trained, so he’s immediately thrust into battle to sacrifice his life for the Dark. Except that fate has other ideas, and he somehow not only survives the battle but becomes a most unlikely hero.

Goblins are the lowest of the low, and not everyone welcomes his new status. He becomes a pawn for powerful factions. Surviving one battle was hard enough. But how can one young goblin avoid getting killed by not only the Light but by his own Dark leaders?

But sometimes empires can rise and fall on the backs of the least expected. Join Qod as he tries to answer the call.

From retired Marine, USA Today bestseller, and multiple Nebula and Dragon Award finalist Jonathan Brazee comes a military fantasy that’s just a little different than all the others.
