**Grab all six books of the thrilling BELT series, in this great value 1200+ page sci-fi box set!

Out in the asteroid belt, you’re never far from a rock and a hard place.

Commander Scott McNabb and the crew of the science vessel, Hermes, are three years into a five-year-long survey of the asteroid belt when they discover a derelict spaceship in orbit around a binary asteroid. The ship contains an experimental quantum device, lost while en route to a research colony on Europa.

However, once word of the crew’s discovery gets out, they soon realize that ownership of this technology could fundamentally change the balance of power within the colonized worlds, and they now find themselves at the very nexus of a system-wide conflict.

Their fight for survival plays out across the solar system, from the mining outposts of the asteroid belt to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and from the great Martian city of Jezero to an irradiated wasteland on Earth.

This is an epic tale of humanity’s battle for power and control in a time when artificial intelligence has almost out-paced our own ability to control it.

This box set contains all six BELT SERIES novels:
– Entanglement
– Entropy
– Evolution
– Enigma
– Exodus
– Emergence

She must learn to control her unusual magic or risk destroying the kingdom, and her friends.

Destiny Snow hates blackmail, especially when she’s the victim. Yet, the threat leads her to what she’s always wanted—family. With family though, come demands. A requirement to attend the witch academy, where she’s immediately an outcast. A call for her sacrifice. A claim on her heart.

The loyal friends that followed her are outsiders who can’t handle the toxic atmosphere adjacent to the underworld. Now, Destiny is caught in the middle of a power struggle between witches and warlocks. Both sides fight over the greater force controlling the devilish double-dealing. A force so powerful the entire coven could be ruined. A force that works against her and will take Destiny away from everyone she loves. A force that prophesized she’d destroy the kingdom.

Can a powerful mixed majik stop the prophecy written about her before it comes to a Wicked End?

Snow Witching White is the sixth book in the twisted fairytale series A Glass Slipper Adventure. If you like magical heroines, split family loyalties, and ill-fated lovers, then you’ll love Allie Burton’s new installment in this spellbinding series.

People believe faeries aren’t real. They’re wrong.

Lily Boyd never suspected the old rhymes and children’s games her grandmother taught her were anything but colorful tradition, and when her mother moved the family to Manchester and forbade her from returning to the Scottish Highlands, she nearly forgets the ancient tales. However, when she returns years later, the memories start to trickle back… along with the unexplainable.

When Lily’s grandmother is kidnapped, strange creatures, dark and terrible, invade her home. Her only savior is Troy, a kelpie, a devourer of human flesh, and darker and more terrible than those who would have killed her. He has his own agenda, his own goals. Troy is her only lead, but can she trust him? Can she learn the rules of the fairy game before losing everything she cares about?

Don’t give a faerie your name. Don’t give them your thanks. And never, ever give them your trust… the stakes of the game could be your life.

*EDITORS NOTE: I’ve read all the books in this series. It is EXCELLENT. Pick it up and be enchanted.*

Colony One is prepared for anything — except the saboteur who’s already on board.

For Jonah Wyatt, the Space Force is his last shot at a military career. After years leading an elite task force, he was discharged from the army and stuck working one menial job after another. Now this disgraced combat specialist is headed to space. He’s tasked with training his own unit aboard Elderon: colony one. Nobody bothered to tell him it would be a squad of white-hat hackers and intel eggheads who are definitely not Space Force material.

One recruit is Maggie Barnes — an undercover reporter who was brought on board as a member of the press corps. Her job is to create fluffy corporate propaganda that paints the colony as a futuristic utopia, but Maggie can’t follow the rules once she gets wind of a story.

When Maggie gets a tip from an unknown source, she realizes Elderon is not at all what it seems. As she gets closer to unraveling the conspiracy, Sergeant Wyatt begins to suspect that there’s a spy on board. The saboteur has been with them all along, and he’s been building an army of his own.

What Readers Are Saying:

“Brilliant, exciting and engaging.”

“The world-building is a fascinating effort of plausible, near-future science.”

“This book takes you on a wild ride with reporters, white hat hackers, space military and spies.”

“I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. Can’t wait for the next one…Tarah Benner is my new favorite author.”

You are cordially invited to the Hierophant Society. Black tie only. Bring your tarot card and don’t ask questions.

The letter has dropped out of thin air into my lap moments after I’ve been kicked out of my apartment. It can’t have come at a better time.

I’ve always had a wicked sense of adventure. And trouble’s basically my middle name at this point.

The black-tie part of the invite? That’s going to be a problem. But a secret society might be interesting, and I’ve got nowhere else to be.

When I’m introduced to the leader of the Hierophant Society—a devilishly handsome sorcerer who can summon fire with a click of his fingers—my normal ‘human’ world is shaken to its core. He’s offering me everything I’ve ever wanted. Adventure, acceptance, a world that’s steeped in intrigue and magic, and a place in his society.

The only question left is what does the ‘society’ want from me?

The Complete Battle Ring Earth Series Bundle is here. 1000+ pages of military sci-fi action about the defense of Earth against aliens, fighter pilots, and the last hope for mankind.

Technical Specialist Simon Brooks was no soldier. More suited for the academy than combat, his assignment to a rear echelon support squadron seemed a good fit. Everything changed when the Sleer attacked Earth’s newly salvaged spacecraft, UEF Ascension. In a flash, Brooks goes from fleeing a burning transport plane to piloting a broken mech and learning the habits of a fighter pilot from Lt Sara Rosenski, the terror of Nightmare Squadron.

But his rising star takes a hit when he learns to talk to the Sleer AI, Genukh…and suddenly the UEF doesn’t know whose side he’s on.

Now Brooks and Rosenski are stuck aboard Earth’s Sleer weapon—the Battle Ring–and they may be all that stands between Earth and its induction into the Sleer Empire…

Experience this complete Military Science Fiction Series perfect for fans of Rick Partlow, Jamie McFarlane, and Joshua Dalzelle.
