A lone soldier is gifted the power to save humanity in this Military Sci-Fi Complete Series Bundle from bestseller L.L. Richman.

When a training exercise at a classified research facility goes awry, Joe Kovacs loses much more than his eyesight. He loses his career. He can’t lead one of the military’s top spec-ops teams if he can’t see.

A decision with consequences.

Joe’s only shot at getting his life back lies in the hands of an anonymous ‘shadow’ scientist. The offer is risky, an experimental implant that may or may not work. He jumps at the chance, but quickly learns the device does more than restore his sight. Much more.

There’s no going back.

Joe begins seeing strange flashes. Ghosts of images, overlaid atop his own vision. Actions he could have taken but didn’t. Worse, the visions are increasing in scope and frequency. Believing he’s going mad, he confronts the scientist, only to discover the implant’s shocking origin.

Nothing is as it seems, and all the possible futures Joe can now see point to a system-wide conspiracy that will shift the balance of power for hundreds of years. Joe’s visions hold the key to stopping it… if he can learn to control them in time.

Don’t miss this exciting Military Science Fiction Series now in a full series omnibus. It’s perfect for fans of Halo, Rick Partlow (Drop Trooper), Jeffery H. Haskell (Grimm’s War), and Joshua Dalzelle (Black Fleet Saga).

Ever since a horrifying incident that got me turned into a vampire at two, life has been hell. My mother disowned me, and I can barely have friends or attend school. And if the authorities find me out? I’m toast.

I thought moving to the city would help me blend in, but boy, was I wrong. When the authorities catch on to me, I get kidnapped…um, rescued by Xavier Lovelli, an impossibly hot Mage who’s full of himself. He’s also a roper for Supernaturals Underground, a magical, hidden city.

At least here, I don’t have to hide anymore. But I must earn my keep. Supernaturals are going missing all over the city, including my father. The demon mayor is rounding us up for some diabolical plan, and the Underground wants me to help them fight.

Oh, and Xavier has magically bound me to him so that we’re forced to fight together. What the hell? Time to knock him down a notch.

Or maybe I won’t have to. Xavier’s got his own scars, and we have bigger things to worry about. Turns out, I’m wanted personally by the mayor and special, and that’s never good news in the Supernatural world.

Blood Magic is the first book of the Supernaturals Underground series. It is a dark young adult urban fantasy with plenty of action, a slow burn romance, a strong heroine, and crushing secrets.

In New York, Walt Lawson is about to lose his girlfriend Vanessa. In Los Angeles, Raymond and Mia James are about to lose their house. Within days, none of it will matter. A plague tears across the world, reducing New York to an open grave and LA to a chaotic wilderness of violence and fires. Civilization comes to an abrupt stop.

Just as the survivors begin to adapt to the aftermath, Walt learns the virus that ended humanity wasn’t created by humans. It was inflicted from outside. The colonists who sent it are ready to finish the job–and Earth’s survivors may be too few and too weak to resist.
