Brace yourself for the most electrifying, adrenaline-fueled mission yet with ‘USS Lincoln — Mercy Kill’ by Mark Wayne McGinnis.

Caught in a deadly game of interstellar cat and mouse with a new and vile alien enemy, Captain Galvin Quintos will be forced to make choices no US Space Navy Captain should ever have to make — including who among those he cares most about should live or die.

A cosmic storm is coming, one that has already decimated the long-lost crew of USS Lincoln.

Has USS Adams already fallen into the same perilous trap, poised to succumb to the same fate? Has Doctor Vivian Leigh finally had enough uncertainty aboard a military warship? Is it time to bid farewell to a three-hundred-year-old ChronoBot friend? Put up the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign, grab a bag of popcorn, switch your phone to silent, and sink into that favorite chair of yours… you’re in for a long night.

And when you’re done with this book you don’t want to miss ChronoBot Chronicles coming out in August of 2023.

She is a mutation. She is an abomination. She is a power that could change the universe – or end it. And she is only seven years old.

It’s been 250 years since we discovered the vast web of wormholes, created by an alien race, linking a series of planets. Worlds where, with a little genetic tinkering, humans could thrive. No one thought about side effects until it was too late. Now laws prevent further tampering—but not everyone follows the law. The Protectorate used their military might to enforce these laws.

For Veena, a military cipher decoder, these wars are more than her job – they’re the centre of her existence. She knows a secret: the alien race that created the wormholes may not be gone, and pose a threat.

And even worse, she knows that her own daughter is one of “the enemy”. Born with telekinetic powers, seven-year-old Molly is a mutant who must hide her true nature, or face extermination.

But when an accident reveals her child’s powers, Veena’s worst nightmare comes true. The military snatches Molly—to turn her into a weapon, and use her power to change the face of the galaxy… or destroy it.

Now, Veena is on the run, trying to save her child. Nowhere to hide, no one to trust. She can’t give up. The universe is on the brink of destruction, and it is up to her to stop it all from escalating and falling into the madness of a Fractured Orbit.

The mermaid Lí Ban has long studied humans, fascinated by their culture and strange ways. But when she begins to have dreams in which she lived a human life, she decides she must have once lived in the surface world, in a past life. Determined to regain what she has lost, she makes a dangerous bargain, trading her tongue for legs.

But the bargain has a catch: she must win the heart of the man once she once saved from drowning. If he should ever wed another, she will lose her soul. Plagued by increasingly insistent dreams, Lí Ban realizes not only does she need to win a heart—she may have unfinished business from her past life.

In the year 2432, humans think they are alone in the universe. They’re wrong.

Commander Noa Sato plans a peaceful leave on her home planet Luddeccea … but winds up interrogated and imprisoned for her involvement in the Archangel Project. A project she knows nothing about.

Professor James Sinclair wakes in the snow, not remembering the past twenty four hours, or knowing why he is being pursued. The only thing he knows is that he has to find Commander Sato, a woman he’s never met.

A military officer from the colonies and a civilian from Old Earth, they couldn’t have less in common. But they have to work together to save the lives of millions—and their own.
Every step of the way they are haunted by the final words of a secret transmission:

The archangel is down.

What the Reviewers are saying:

“ARCHANGEL DOWN is a compelling sci-fi complete with satisfyingly high-tech gadgetry and high stakes political and social intrigue … subtle humor pervades the book, often in the form of Noa and James’s banter, and the vivid action sequences provide suspense and adventure. “ -IndieReader

“This is a terrific science fiction selection that explores our human emotion.  Anger, fear, self-doubt, love,  and humor are on display as the colonists of a new world are forced to realize they are not alone in the universe.” –Great Digital Books, “7 Great Books for Star Trek Fans”

First contact didn’t go as planned…

Time Gate 8, one of humanity’s portals between the stars, has been overrun by a mysterious alien intelligence, and the planet Luddeccea is now cut off.

Haunted by those she left behind, Commander Noa Sato is on a desperate mission to save her homeworld. Navigating the ancient Ark, she seeks a hidden gate that will transport her ship to Earth and the Galactic Fleet. But the Luddeccean system harbors dangers, and so does her crew.

The only crew member she completely trusts is James Sinclair, but he doesn’t trust himself.

James isn’t the man he once was. He has a hunger that is never sated, kills without regrets, and is fitted with extraordinary augments he doesn’t remember getting. Can James control his augments, or will they control him?

In a future where almost all humans are augmented, James’s answer and Noa’s mission will determine the fate of the human race … and the enemy is already within the gates.
