No Longer Available as a Set.

Star Heroes is a space opera collection with nine novels of the galactic frontier. Exploration, alien invasions, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence–it’s all here.

Blast off with these adventures by New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling authors:

Star Nomad by USA Today Bestseller Lindsay Buroker
In this fast-paced space adventure, Captain Alisa Marchenko must brave sadistic savages, fearsome cyborgs, and brutal pirates to steal a ship so she can find her way home.

Starship Eternal by M.R. Forbes
When a critical injury leaves Space Marine Captain Mitchell “Ares” Williams having visions of a lost starship and an alien invasion, he thinks he’s going insane… He isn’t.

Icarus by Matt Verish
Cole Musgrave’s dream of interstellar travel has become a nightmare. When a delivery is compromised aboard a classified cargo vessel, the unorthodox captain finds himself embroiled in a deadly assignment that will alter his life forever.

Attack on Phoenix by USA Today and New York Times Bestseller Megg Jensen
Two hundred years ago, an interplanetary expedition crashed on a deserted planet. Catching the attention of the dragzhi, an aggressive alien species, they found themselves in a war they were doomed to lose … unless Torsten Vikker, a soldier who’d rather read than fight, can find a way to save them.

Archangel Down by USA Today Bestseller C. Gockel
Commander Noa Sato doesn’t believe in aliens. She’s too busy trying to save the lives of millions and her own skin to ponder the existence of “others.” Fortunately for Noa, aliens believe in her.

Destroyer by Chris Fox
One maverick captain, an unlikely crew, and an aging vessel are all that stand between humanity and the Eradication.

Space Carrier Avalon by Glynn Stewart
Avalon was the first and most legendary of the Castle Federation’s space carriers, but she is now old and obsolete. Accepting the inevitable, she is sent on a final flag-showing tour.
But war clouds gather and this final tour will be anything but quiet.

Symphony of War by David Adams
Lieutenant Marcus Servus and his soldiers, a penal legion, stand against insectoid boogeymen from another galaxy.
Marcus has a gift. An edge against the monsters: he hears music. Songs in his head guide him, granting him knowledge and foresight, a weapon against the alien hordes. But who plucks the strings?

Allies and Enemies: Fallen by Amy J. Murphy
Purpose-bred soldier of the Regime, Commander Sela Tyron is as subtle as a hammer. To hammers, any problem can look like a nail, but solutions aren’t always that easy. When Sela encounters a son she is forbidden to know, falls in love with a man who is clearly off-limits, and is abandoned on a planet of insurrectionists, things get complicated.

Individually, these books would cost $29.99 to purchase, but for right now they’re FREE. This deal won’t last long, and neither will this box set.

Why Do a FREE Box Set?

by

UrbanMythic

I Bring the Fire Part I is in a new Urban Fantasy and Paranormal box set: Urban Mythic. Why do box sets as an author? Even more specifically, why do a FREE box set?

The hardest thing to achieve as an indie author is visibility. By combining email lists, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media followings, a group of authors is able to reach a lot more people than they can alone.

Box sets also appeal to voracious readers who are looking for a good value, hence they tend to be downloaded at a much higher rates than single books. The more downloads you get, the higher in the rankings you go, the more visibility you receive. Most readers won’t read all the stories, but it’s one of those instances where you still wind up exposed to so many more fans just because of the sheer volume of exposure.

GMFinally, box sets can allow us to reach slightly different audiences. A book only has one cover, but a book often has multiple facets, and a slightly different cover on a set can appeal to a different audience. The Gods & Mortals cover is more romantic. Urban Mythic has a more urban fantasy/adventure feel to it. Both types of readers will find I Bring the Fire satisfying, but they’ll be drawn by different covers.

Both of these sets were coordinated by my friend Christine Pope and me. Christine’s excellent Djinn War series appeals to I Bring the Fire fans who like mythology and the intersection of magic and science. Her series is unique because it offers a rather canonical take on Arabian djinn.

There are a lot of other gems in this set. There are stories about Norse and Greek Gods, a twist on vampire lore from a Greek perspective, werewolves, faeries, centaurs, and several interesting and respectful takes on the Christian mythos. I’m really delighted to introduce my readers to all these novels. Which is another reason to do a set–the opportunity to share with your readers stories you know they’ll love!

Urban Mythic is FREE on Amazon US (UK and Canada too–we’re working on Australia), Kobo, iBooks, GooglePlay, Nook, and Smashwords.
