Allying with the Ursis brought with it a burden she alone must bear. Will she break loose from the shackles that bind her, or will she become a puppet of the alien entity?

Abigail Olivaw found humanity’s first ally in their war against the Galactic Alliance, and at the same time, she unwillingly became host to an alien parasite. A life-force capable of toppling empires far larger than her own. With her life in jeopardy and the fate of her family uncertain, will she bow to the whim of the Therionic entity and put her people at risk, or will she find a way to defeat it before humanity falls?

Armed with a new-found strength from the past, the Olivaw family finds itself in a unique position, long ago thought lost to failed lies and subterfuge. Bradley and Zachary Olivaw are at odds with how to lead the family forward during trying times. Do they launch headlong toward annihilation, or recede quietly into the shadows? Their differing strategies shake the family to its core and challenge what it means for blood to be thicker than water.

Will their family fall apart when put to the ultimate test, or will they rise to the challenge and guide humanity to a new tomorrow?

Dark Nebula: Nursery is the epic sixth and final book in the Dark Nebula space opera series. If you like complex characters, adventures into the unknown, and pulse-pounding action, then you’ll love Sean Willson’s quest to explore the human condition.

Featured Fantasy: Quentin Black: Psychic Detective (Quentin Black Mystery Series Books 1-3) by JC Andrijeski

99¢ as of August 2, 2023
Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia

The first three novels (plus a connecting novella and short story!) in the paranormal mystery romance series, QUENTIN BLACK MYSTERY, starring brilliant but dangerous psychic detective, Quentin Black and forensic psychologist, Miri Fox.

Includes the following books:

BLACK IN WHITE (Quentin Black Mystery #1)
BLACK AS NIGHT (Quentin Black Mystery #2)
Black Christmas (Quentin Black Mystery #2.5)
BLACK ON BLACK (Quentin Black Mystery #3)
Black Supper (Quentin Black Mystery #3.5)

*

Description of BLACK IN WHITE (Quentin Black Mystery #1):

“My name is Black. Quentin Black.”

Gifted with an uncanny sense about people, psychologist Miri Fox works as an off and on profiler for the police. So when they think they finally nailed the “Wedding Killer,” she agrees to check him out, using her gift to discover the truth.

But the suspect, Quentin Black, isn’t anything like Miri expects.

He claims to be hunting the killer too, and the longer Miri talks to him, the more determined she becomes to uncover his secrets.

When he confronts her about the nature of her peculiar “insight,” Miri gets pulled into Black’s bizarre world, and embroiled in a game of cat and mouse with a deadly killer––who might just be Black himself.

Worse, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Black, a complication she doesn’t need with a best friend who’s a homicide cop and a boyfriend in intelligence.

Can Miriam see a way out or is her future covered in Black?

*

Description of BLACK AS NIGHT (Quentin Black Mystery #2):

“He will break anything you try to keep pure, brother.”

When her now-employer, psychic detective, Quentin Black, calls from a Bangkok jail, asking for her help, forensic psychologist, Miri Fox, is forced to fly across the world to get him.

She finds Black working undercover inside a gang of criminals, trying to discover who’s murdering street children and burning their bodies inside Buddhist temples.

Black isn’t the only one interested in the crimes, however, and soon his investigations get the attention of a crime syndicate out of Russia that doesn’t appreciate his meddling.

When Miri shows up to help, events quickly spiral out of control, and Miri soon finds herself the hunted.

*

Description of BLACK ON BLACK (Quentin Black Mystery #3):

“What kind of confession are you looking for, brother…?”

Black disappears, leaving Miri alone in San Francisco mere days after they return from Bangkok.

No explanation. Not a word about where he is, what he’s doing, what his mysterious new contract entails or even who he’s working for.

Black will only drop cryptic hints, leaving her breadcrumbs.

Miri can feel him, though. More every day.

She feels so much through her dreams and into her waking life that her world starts to spin out of control, especially when things between Black and his new employer begin to sour.

Black’s in danger, although he won’t admit that, either.

Only Miri can save him. But to help Black, she has to cross lines she swore she’d never cross, exposing herself in a way that will change her life forever.

His feelings for Cat might just save everyone.
