I just released my debut novel and would like to let folks know about it. I'm not really sure how this marketing stuff works, but I'm trying to get the word out.It's a techno-thriller that I think is not bad for a first novel. You can read what it's about here http://tiny.cc/DarkFactions.
Very pleased to present an allegorical fantasy sci-fi novel, the first in a trilogy series, called The Orphans on Top of the World.The trilogy opens along the border of southern Switzerland and northern Italy. Maria's best friend is whisked away to an unknown destination by an unknown man. The one thing that Maria knows very sharply is that without her best friend at tomorrow's Quarterfinal Football Match, Team Switzerland's chances of prevailing over Team France are dwindling with every passing second of her friend's absence.
Maria is torn between finding and bringing her friend back to the Match before it starts or simply playing at the Match without her. Maria's friends named Zeeder, Strades, and Yohn, who are intelligent, brave and devoted, want to help Maria.
Maria reaches the unknown destination with a fantastical gift given to her by Wisdom. Even if Maria finds her friend in time, what happens if they don't make it back to the Match in time?
Zeeder, Strades, and Yohn are given the keys to an incredible ocean going vessel by a wizard named Admiral Zoombar. Their journey takes longer than Maria's with plenty of adventures along the way.
Will Maria and friends be able to pass along incredible stories to their grandchildren's own grandchildren, or will they be absorbed into Glammourria where they will never be heard from again?

Independence Day Deal: Over 85% off Eden By Sword!
Hi everyone,
To celebrate the 4th of July, I’m thrilled to offer a special Kindle Countdown Deal for my sci-fi fantasy novel, Eden By Sword. You can get it for up to 85% off the usual list price! But hurry, this deal won’t last long and is only available to my American friends via https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CR3WJSJQ.
Even a legend has to start somewhere.
Get ready for a rollicking adventure as Sci-Fi collides with Arthurian legend as a group of colonists fight for supremacy in the captivating new novel Eden By Sword.
But be careful what you dream of…
Regen was a lonely teenage boy who wished he’d never come to Dunia. His only solace was playing VR games and wielding his tatty old gaming sword – a reminder of the bedtime stories his father told him back on Earth. He missed him so much. But everything changed the day he stumbled across a mysterious sphere.
Unlike Regan, Sarina was happy they were colonizing Dunia. Even when the colony faced starvation with no sign of the promised relief ships from Earth, she knew they would prevail – as long as her father gained control. But when Arthur drew the sword, her world split in two.
Harold could never have become Mayor or saved the colony without his wife’s help and support. She was his rock, his strength, his one true love. But all that changed the day Excalibur released the mist.
More than anything, Harold wanted his wife and daughter back. But what could he do? They were now part of the Chosen, and the Chosen had to be stopped. Humanity depended upon it, no matter how great the personal cost.
Don’t miss out. Get your copy here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CR3WJSJQ.

The Infrared PutschWithin the first android dwells the violent purpose of his creation. If only he could remember.
Yuzi - first among helpers - his creator died long ago, her intentions unknown. Ten thousand religious orders celebrate his existence, stifling gravitas heaped on every choice he might make. Unable to escape their expectant gaze and the meaning of his very life to many, Yuzi is reluctant to choose. Plagued by waking visions he lives alone within a teeming City, resigned to mere existence and the scientific probing of researchers.
Beneath the City’s order and harmony an insurrection burns low, the voices of the revolutionaries whispering, but eager to shout. They speak in bombs and cutters and treachery, and they wait in patient determination for their time.
So, then, Yuzi - first among helpers - must choose.
Unwilling to ignore the growing bloodshed, he must navigate between murderous enemies and determined, powerful rivals. The public cheer and call his name, but the hidden specter within him haunts his actions. Life and peace are at hand, but every effort delivers only greater death and conflict. Still, Yuzi must choose.
Where lies the fine line?
Is there even a middle path to be had?
"The Infrared Putsch" will be free for the weekend of July 13/14, 2024.

Psychic SuitHi. My name is Osawese Agbonkonkon. I'm a University of Oregon student-athlete. I've been an avid writer for years and while at Oregon I am majoring in Economics with minors in English and History, along with plans to go to law school next. I also competed for the varsity Track & Field team. "Psychic Suit" is a project I've been working on for 6 years and is my "Magnum Opus". Publishing it is the goal I've been working towards for half a decade and I've finally released it with the company Songspire Books
I can best describe the novel as a YA superhero espionage thriller with sci-fi and fantasy elements. What really makes the story unique is some of the heroes in the novel have mental health conditions, and one of the big points in the story is how would a superhero who is a public figure revered and respected by millions go about their life while suffering from mental health challenges like so many people in the real world do.
It's out now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble

Hi everyone,I'm new to Goodreads and excited to join this group! I recently wrote my first book, which has been a humbling process I loved. It’s a unique blend of romance, sci-fi, and fantasy, and I’m especially proud that it’s an African story, rich with cultural elements that make it truly special.
Here’s a bit about the story:
In a world divided between the tradition-bound Innercity and the technologically advanced Outercity, Agina Akongo Odero stands at a crossroads. When an advanced matchmaking app pairs her with the charismatic Otiende Okomo Oneko, sparks fly, and Agina unexpectedly finds herself on a journey of love and self-discovery. As their relationship deepens, she must confront her fears, embrace her destiny, and make choices that will shape her future.
Strange Light weaves a tantalising blend of romance and sci-fi fantasy, exploring themes of identity, cultural heritage, and the courage to embrace one's true self. Set in a world filled with adventure, magic, and technology, the story delves into the dynamics of power and love within a context that is both familiar and fantastical. Perfect for fans of Black Speculative Fiction and those seeking a captivating love story with a twist, this novel promises to enchant and engage readers with its unique and powerful narrative.
If you’re interested in exploring a tale that intertwines love, adventure, and a touch of the extraordinary, you can find my book here: Strange Light: Ler Mahia
I’m looking forward to connecting with fellow readers and writers here. If you check out the book, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
SilentiumHi Everyone!Any sci-fi horror fans out there? Here's my new release: Silentium - a military sci-fi body horror and homage to the classics we all know and love.
Find Silentium here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...
Aliens meets The Thing in M. F. Alfrey’s Silentium. In this action-packed military SF gore-fest, a struggling haulage crew and a squad of delinquent marines find themselves hurled together in a gruelling fight for survival beneath the ice.
Captain Joe Bannerman has finally scored a big job that would mean the good life for him and his crew: a long-haul trip to drop a bunch of marines on the edge of the charted territories for re-education training. The only drawback is their employer – the Inter Planetary Commission. A ruthless totalitarian corporate government.
But not long after their arrival, and failure to raise Aquilo Base on comms, all souls aboard the Fritzwicky suddenly find themselves stranded on a frozen world with no other choice but to delve into the ominously silent facility. And what should have been a routine passenger drop quickly takes a hideously twisted and disturbing turn.

The Secret of the Martian Girl by Colin Alexander
is the fifth in the Leif the Lucky series and has just been published. You can get it on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCP4NLQC
A long-dead genius. A hidden invention that could save—or doom—humanity. Can Leif find it before it falls into the wrong hands? In AD 2726, Leif Grettison, former army ranger and exoplanetary scout, returns from the stars a weary man. Four and a half centuries have passed since he was last on Earth. All he wants is a small cottage on a hill with a good view and no neighbors.
Leif knows nothing about the myth of the Martian Girl. But when he agrees to take care of a simple request, his path leads to a love he never expected, two teens nobody wants, and a scheme to revive the Martian Girl’s former home, a dead city on Mars.
If the Martian Girl created a weapon and Leif cannot keep it from a hostile power, the Earth will be plunged back into devastating wars.

I absolutely loved ***Starman's Saga***, and I have gradually built up the rest of the series in my Kindle library, but have struggled to find the time for reading these successors. You see, I have become utterly addicted (and almost dependant) on the "Read and Listen" collaborative feature between Kindle & Audible (which incidentally have me buying both versions of everything I enjoy ... ka-CHING!) Can you reveal if there are any efforts or plans to create compatible Audibles of these other 4 novels? I would think sales would be guaranteed if it happens.
PS: Keep up the good work (please) . . . ***Complicated*** and ***Princess of Shadows*** were fine reads as well.

Hello all! My debut science fiction novel "Fates of Rebels and Men" is out now! Think War of the Worlds meets The Blighted Stars, and you'll get my action-packed sci fi thriller that emboldens the writting style of Clive Cussler.
On the moon of Delight, Ammon Karajan stumbles upon a fire burning in a field from a crashed starship. A machine alien delivers an unknown message, leaving Ammon reeling with questions about his future.
Lieutenant Samuel H.C. Packett is assigned by the Commonwealth Intelligence Core on Augustein to prepare for something profound for all mankind: a deep secret of great importance, known only to Packett in small details. There’s a problem, however–Ammon found something he wasn’t supposed to, and it is now Packett’s duty to bring Ammon to Augustein.
Rebellion runs amiss beneath the city of Opalin on Delight. Destinies are altered. Conspiracy is uncovered. As the Galactic Commonwealth of Earth prepares for total war from a sudden attack, the future of Delight and its residents are thrown into question. Things are not as they initially seemed. Both men race against the clock–one to survive with a rebel commander named Joanna, the other to find his target and make it back home alive.
Amidst the war and chaos, destiny is found through those who give them the will to continue. The future of humanity may lie with the woman Ammon begins to fall for, and the fates of rebels and men may depend on their survival.

Reviews from those participating in this giveaway, or those requesting a review copy from seeing this post on GoodReads are warmly invited. Email me, Anna Faktorovich, at director@anaphoraliterary.com for a copy in PDF (best), Kindle or epub. It is on sale now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1681146118 The History of Cadatas’ Exploration of the Milky Way: (Softcover: $30, 392pp, 7X10”: 978-1-68114-611-9; Hardcover: $35: 978-1-68114-612-6; Kindle: $9.99; Science Fiction & Fantasy—Science Fiction—Hard Science Fiction; September 1, 2024): At the peak of cadatas’ technological development, their business leaders attempt diverting an asteroid to mine its resources. A miscalculated maneuver misses the mine, and instead strikes their home world. With Cadata in ruins, a spaceship with three hundred explorers begins what would become a 100,000-year journey across the Milky Way, searching for a habitable world to relocate their perishing population. Cadata scientists gene-edit pilots to match the dominant species on each planet. Even with a 5,000-year lifespan, it takes them twenty-three generations to reach Earth. Chief pilots, Wocega and Ortack, and their descendants, face thrilling and terrifying challenges. Their bodies’ chemistry covers the spectrum of the periodic table, and their consistency alters from alcohol, to clouds, to metal. They are bombarded by diamond rain. They are enveloped in the sunless darkness of a roaming planet. They are compressed by pressures of extreme gravity, and dense atmospheres. Can even the most adaptable species endure a search for a new planet? This is the first captivating history of cadatas’ explorations from one of their expert historians, Ortack-23. Assisted by first ever translations of authoritative first-person archival accounts of cadata explorers, this history traces the geology of Cadata from the formation of this planet, through the events that led to its downfall, with a record of discoveries about alien habitats, and to their present attempts to become legal refugees on Earth. This is a one-of-a-kind theoretical and scientific defense of the presence of aliens on Earth, and of the scientific breakthroughs they achieved to reach us. It is accompanied with a bibliography of sources, an index, a galactic map of the journey, and a chronology of events. As humanity commences on its quest for life elsewhere in the universe, this encyclopedic study explains varieties of atmospheric conditions, and biological organisms as alien to Earth as Earth is to them.
Hello all! I am a new indie author here sharing my lasted

My speculative novel Quibble blends sci-fi, fantasy, and dystopia. Published serially on the substack Singular Dream, Quibble tells a story set in the far future on an otherworldly Earth after a technological singularity.
https://singulardream.substack.com
ABOUT THE STORY
Quibble doesn’t want to be a heretic. She doesn’t want her preternatural gift or any part of the bloody war it drags her into. She only wants to find her mother, vanished without a trace. But she’ll have to journey through hell for that reunion…
The year is 49371, but nobody knows it. Long ago, mysterious transhuman people called the Infinite exploited Earth’s resources to build interstellar arks, leaving the planet uninhabitable. Now, a new transhuman race — Ones — inhabit Within, a subterranean night world ruled by the artificial intelligence Unity and the powerful caretakers called Zeros. Cursed with longevity, Ones share dreams in virtual reality as they await their death and transcendence to the few remaining arks.
Clear-sighted, Quibble sees what no One should see wakeful — people’s shadows in the dark Within. Raised by heretic Zeros, Quibble chafes at Unity’s religion of control, which insists the natural sunlight Without annihilates Ones, body and soul. When Unity forces her into a loveless marriage and then her mother Quiddity disappears, she enlists the heretic Zeros’ help to take her Without and help her find Quiddity.
Aboveground, Quibble discovers a surreal, bewildering world. She falls in love with Definition, a fragile woman beset with grief over her son’s death. When Quibble’s gift of sight reignites a long-dormant Zero war, she’s hounded by the phantomlike Asuja, the messiah of a fascist vision for the Ones’ future. To prevail, Quibble must find her own powers in her human nature and her unique grasp of physical reality. But when Asuja reveals what became of her mother, Quibble’s loyalties are thrown into disarray as she struggles to learn the most elusive human trait — the ability to forgive.
Extrapolating a world from Clarke’s dictum that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” Quibble explores joy and grief, mortality and immortality as it contrasts utopian transhumanism with the Digital Age’s epidemic of online facelessness.

Hi everyone!I'm J.D. Siegel, author of The Witches of Galdanon, my debut book in an upcoming series filled with magic, strife, and heart-wrenching emotion.
In Galdanon, magic is a commonplace skill, but a complex practice. For generations, those who can intuit a full understanding of magic's nuance have been branded Witches, and due to a travesty committed long ago, are hunted.
River, a farmer's daughter who has long since lost her family, is a Witch. But in truth, she doesn't understand what that means. She has unmatched command over flames, but has little idea the persecution that awaits her.
As she begins to see visions of a mysterious green dragon--a figure intertwined with the kingdom's magical and bloody history--she leads two of her friends to the mainland of Galdanon. There, they discover more than they ever expected to learn.
The Witches of Galdanon features themes of moving beyond the shackles of the past and coming to terms with one's self, and explores what it means for someone to be a good person.
It's available to purchase on Kindle and Barnes and Noble, as well as many other ebook retailers.
Here's my website: https://galdanonchronicles.com/
To quote one of my reviews: "If you are a fan of witches and dark magic, this book is especially for you!"

But be careful what you dream of…
Dunia is on the brink of collapse. With crops failing and livestock starving, the colony’s demise seems imminent without the long-awaited supply ships from Earth. But when a lonely teenage boy runs away from camp and stumbles across a mysterious sphere, everything changes.
Two years later, at a celebration of their newfound prosperity, the same boy suddenly spies something strange in the sphere. Nervously, he reaches out his hand and pulls out a medieval-looking sword.

Hi All,I am expanding and playing around a bit with Amazon's tools. Really, I am looking for readers because, if you don't know, books that have less the 25 ratings and reviews are very hard to get off the ground.
As a result, I am offering my book for free on Kindle, this Sunday, the 29th.
My Book, The Eye of Ebon is a story about faith and trust in a rough world. It is a fantasy adventure that features two women navigating in a harsh land and with many enemies trying to stop them. Both women face difficult ordeals and wrestle with issues of trust, duty, honor, anger and of course..faith.
For those familiar with the many books posted on this group, I think this book is most similar to the Deed of Paksenarion. If you are a fan of that story, I think you will enjoy this one as well.
The Blurb is below:
A young Samiare lies dying in the snow, in her hand, a sword of legend, and now the whole world is changed. For Ruegette, hero of Tierinor, the girl marks the earliest stages of a new war against the Shadow, and a new struggle to keep safe what has been hidden for more than an age--The Eye of Ebon.
Pulled into a conflict greater than nations and Gods, both Ruegette, and the girl she rescues, try to survive in a land full of threats against brutal foes that will show them no mercy. Can Samiare find the strength to overcome her torments, and can the White Sword be enough to push back the dark? --Or will a sinister creature reclaim its prize...
The Shadow is rising...
...It seeks back its eye...
...It won't be stopped.
If you don't have a kindle, but would still like a free copy, please send me a PM.
Otherwise, it will be available this Sunday.
Thanks
P. Pherson

A Journey Toward Tomorrow III: Expedition Earth
Warren Estridge’s physical existence nears its end as he watches the Humanitas begin its Expedition to Earth with his grandson Adamous and great-grandson Joshua on board.

Amongst their new friendships and love interests, Joshua and Adamous are about to face unexpected revelations. The preparations for the expeditions are proceeding smoothly until Captain Aurelio Conigliaro is confronted with the truth about the Earth. The Estridges, unaware of this truth, are in for a surprise when they meet unexpected visitors during their time in stasis. What they learn will not only surprise the crew but also make the recovery of artifacts more challenging than expected.
As the ship nears Earth, the captain faces a daunting task. He must guide the crew toward the truth about the Earth, a truth that could potentially end the expedition. Many of the mission plans have to be altered, and the captain, in a crucial moment, confronts Joshua about his experience in stasis and the extent of his knowledge about the Entity I Am.
As the expedition reaches Earth, I Am reveals the galaxy’s history and the shocking future of Earth, Comhaltas, and the universe.

— Review by Anonymous Book Lover
Trapped in a life without purpose or escape, Troy is suddenly thrust into a different world, one of mystery and magic, where he must learn to trust — in his companion Kieran, and in himself and his own learning as he navigates this strange and wondrous place.
Kieran, a stubbornly independent Guardian and energy worker in this new world, makes his own way until Troy crash1s into his life, bringing change like a hot desert wind. The young men must grow together, slowly recognizing the bond of mind and soul that lies between them, one with the potential to make something greater of them both, if they have the courage to accept it.
Together they must face Aodhan, the Dark R’Guardian who wants to enslave Troy, using the outworlder’s very soul to destroy Aodhan’s own world in the name of saving it. And Kieran, junior to Aodhan, is the only one who can stand between them.
Will either of them take the journey they’re called to, or survive it if they do?
