Hello to all sci-fi readers on Goodreads.com. This is to announce that my 24th ebook WAR AMONG THE STARS
is now available.
The year is 2320. War has again reared its ugly head, both on Earth and in space. While civil war is ravaging the African continent, an alien race jealous of the fact that Humanity can now travel among the stars is hoping to steal that new technology, so that it could have the Solar System within its grasp. Fleet Captain Tina Forster and her giant interstellar cargo ship KOSTROMA are busy building new home worlds for Humanity but will soon have to concentrate their attention on the Drazt of Ross 128. While Tina Forster would prefer to use diplomacy, the Drazt have other ideas about how to settle their differences with the Humans. Will Tina Forster and her mighty KOSTROMA be up to the task of either arranging peace with the Drazt or, at worse, win a war against them?
WAR AMONG THE STARS is the sequel to LOST AMONG THE STARS and is the fourth book in the JOVIAN UPRISING Series.

You may access this book for free via Free-Ebooks.net, or can email me directly at natai@videotron.ca to request a free copy in the format you prefer, in which case I will be most happy to send you a copy quickly.

Chaos Quarter: Wrath of the Hegemonsby David Welch
Once before Rex Vahl tangled with the Perfected Hegemony, a reclusive superpower of genetic supremacists so altered that some question if they’re any longer human. He and his crew barely survived the experience. Even since then the threat of them has lurked in the back of his mind, growing…When ordered to make contract with the nations bordering Hegemon space, Rex is understandably hesitant, and expecting trouble for his crew. What he did not expect to find was a full-blown war of annihilation.
The Hegemons are no longer reclusive. In fact, now that the universe knows who they are, they have done a complete one-eighty and launched invasions of the only neighboring nations capable of resisting them: the Achaean Confederacy, and Valhalla Free State. Worlds have been conquered, billions have died, and now Rex finds himself and his crew right in the middle of it. When an attempt to rescue an Achaean ship ends with them all trapped on a besieged world, Rex must throw in with his new allies to try and find a way out. Outnumbered and cut-off, desperate options are all they have left. A victory could turn the tide of the entire war, but a defeat could cripple the last military forces of these beleaguered nations, leaving the whole galaxy open to invasion. But what choice remains? Their enemy takes no prisoners, only exterminates and replaces. Against such a foe what else can Rex do but risk it all challenging the wrath of the Hegemons…

This book is a prequel story to the Time Travelers series.
My novel Reckoning of Days is literary sci-fi. I'd be honored if you wanted to read it.amazon.com/author/jaysandover
Triste is the dying Earth’s sister planet and first colony. It is a tropical world with a warm ocean known for periodic, violent tropical cyclones. Yoshi is an orphan who lives in a tent community on the capital city’s enormous beach. He lives by scavenging parts from crashed military drones, escaping from the city police and taking care of a small band of younger orphans. The kids run into all sorts of trouble and danger, not all of it of their own making.
Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, Colonel Endling is a veteran of the mission to permanently settle Triste. His obsession with the disappearance of Triste’s first explorer leads him and his young assistant, Sebastian Sleeper, to tangle with the heavily-armed mercenaries of the family that controls the planet and its three cities.
On Earth, aside from a few coveted locations like Colorado, you can hardly find a vestige of the former culture and population. When he is framed for a shocking, public assassination attempt, the Colonel is sent back to Earth to the great desert prison of Texas. Sebastian Sleeper remains behind, and events reveal that the explorer’s disappearance was just the first of Triste’s thrilling secrets. Known to only a handful of people, there are windows between the worlds. Time on Triste has always been a bit peculiar. One man has a map of the windows and where they lead…

Hi there, folks!My name is Ross Eberle. And I've read both sections of rules in this forum, as well as its parent forum (GoodReads Authors' Discussion). On this note, I'd like to introduce a modern fantasy/science-fiction epic saga I wrote, which is currently 6 novels in length. It is the Sky Fighters and Houndy Crunchers novel series. What is it about?
In this novella series, elite superhuman angelic warriors battle against an evil force known as the Python Demons. They are trying to liberate the universe from the evil influence of these Python Demons.
The Sky Fighters also train and develop their powers, as they are not in constant battle against the Python Demons. The humans of Earth make their first encounter with the Sky Fighters in the first chapter of the first novella.
The Sky Fighters they encounter are actually fox-like creatures called Houndy Crunchers, who stop an evil submarine-shaped UFO from attacking Earth. But right after this, they vanish without a trace! And now many people are wondering...Who are the Sky Fighters? The Sky Fighters in turn promise to protect every living being in the universe from the Python Demons.
The entire series is available for purchase on Amazon. Just click on my Author Profile (Link above) to view the list of works I currently have. If anyone has any questions in regards to this novel series, you're welcome to friend me here on Goodreads and ask me any questions you might have about it...Cheers!
EDIT: Now, you can read the first chapter of Sky Fighters Part I free, on Wattpad right here! https://www.wattpad.com/790822029-sky...

Hi guys, I am not an author myself but one I've been in contact with just let me know his book is going to be free for a while because he is looking to reach more people and get more reads, I figured this was the place to promote it.

Hello my name is Denis (although I publish under the name E.D.Robson, seemed like a good idea at the time). since late July I have published a series of three fantasy (hopefully humorous) books in the adventures of a minor Mesopotamian goddess and her brother-in-law, a call centre team leader, who travel the multiverse in a series of adventures. The first book 'The Drunken Weed' is currently part of a goodreads giveaway running to the 13th November. If you get round to reading it, any feedback in any form would be much appreciated.

Announcing... the paperback edition of my new novel, "The Last Noah". It’s perfect for readers who enjoy a fast-moving sci-fi adventure, which also has a surprising plot twist in its final chapter. The Kindle edition was released two weeks ago, and has already attracted a five-star review. To celebrate the launch of the paperback, the Kindle edition is Free all weekend (Oct. 26, 27).
Here's where you can find my book. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YTZG12C/
Robin and Miranda go to bed in their separate rooms, but wake up somewhere else. Somewhere that is alien and way outside their comfort zone. However, as they discover more about their new surroundings and have several unusual and action-packed adventures, they begin to suspect that all may not be as it first seemed.
As the days progress, their passion for each other grows as their relationship develops emotionally and physically. However, is someone or something watching them? Why do they keep discovering things which don’t feel right? And what’s the story behind the various androids who they meet during their adventures?
As well as being a fast-moving action and adventure novel, this book touches on several social topics. Covert surveillance; humanity’s journey after the extinction of Earth; how AI might develop; and whether humans would, one day, upload their minds into robots (and, if so, what sort of society might result?)
As an ‘aside’ to the plot, there are twenty-one hidden references to well-known science fiction movies and TV shows throughout the book. Challenge yourself – can you find them all?
"In space, nobody is watching your reality. Or are they?"
Ahhhh! David, a puzzle, I LOVE it. M.L. -- :-) Thank you!
Scanning back through the titles because each time something new jumps out at me-- THERESA! What a great idea for a story. A karmic tale of overcoming one's challenges, and such timely themes.
Patricia wrote: "Ahhhh! David, a puzzle, I LOVE it. Thanks for your feedback, Patricia. It's much appreciated. I've tried to write a book which is enjoyable to read and has a great plot with several interesting twists, but also to build into it something to challenge the reader.

Hi All!My debut science fiction novel, No Gods Above the Stars, is now available on the Amazon kindle store! The link is below, and the jacket copy is below that. Also, an image for the book should hopefully show up if I didn't botch the html part!

In order to be reunited with his wife, Lars Ventor will stop at nothing, even if that means confronting the gods themselves—and that may be exactly what he has to do.
In the distant future, Lars Ventor leads a simple life as a deep space mining contract negotiator, where he represents the Interstellar Alliance Government’s interests in their dealings with a cryptic alien race hailing from Alpha Centauri. Known to humanity simply as the Hivemind, these interlopers communicate with humans through bodies called “vessels” by swapping their conscious projections in and out of such bodies at will.
However, Lars’ ordinary life is suddenly shattered when his beloved wife Katerine, a renowned theoretical physicist, is killed in a freak accident—quite literally vaporized on her way to work. Shortly thereafter, while in the midst of tense negotiations with a Hivemind vessel, a grieving Lars receives a most distressing surprise: Katerine is alive, and somehow talking to him through the vessel. In order to uncover the truth behind his wife’s mysterious death, Lars must embark on a mind-bending, metaphysical journey that will make him a central player in a perilous feud between forces as old and unforgiving as time itself.
Meanwhile, in the deep void of interstellar space, Oren Yadrette and Joanna Saro, two senior science officers aboard the human exploration ship Warrant Conviction, make a startling discovery about the true nature of the Hivemind. Technologically outflanked and under grave threat, Oren and Joanna must race against time to ensure the survival of their fellow crew, and perhaps even the entirety of the human race.

Excerpt
Dawn
I wish...
I didn't have to open my eyes.
I wish...
that the murmuring wind and the creaking black wood, hardened by the centuries of storms, and the lapping water against the sides of the ship had lost their power to rouse me.
For ever...
In the comforting darkness of my closed eyelids I breath in deeply the spirit of the sea, the salty aroma of the air which, at these latitudes painfully pierces the tissues of one's nose, one's lungs... one's very soul.
But I don’t have to talk about this.
Pagan legends tell of mermaids whose singing could snare careless mariners; but the very sea was my mermaid. The sound of the waves was with me all the time, even when I was asleep. The horizon's only boundary was the coast. The typical nautical terms I would hear shouted out with every vessel setting sail from the port. I echoed them, I rolled them around my tongue when climbing trees and I imagined the leaves were sails, that the wind filled to carry me... where my adventurous spirit would find nourishment.
Oh, I've had my fill of adventures since then. Enough to satiate whole armies. The sea was soon to reveal its true colours: a black-hearted mermaid, able to reduce a man in his prime of life to a lost, fearful little child. Each time we saw the coast disappear my uneasiness would be placated, but deep inside grew the horror of a situation which was... unnatural.
By now I knew exactly what to do at any given time. I knew the stars in both hemispheres and I used them to find my bearings; I could climb high as though I was supported and kept from falling by the hand of a guardian angel; I could read the wind and cloud formations to forecast the weather; I could keep my balance even when the rolling bridge leant over more than the sexual appetites of sailors wanted in far too many ports.
But it was not enough.
Because the stars were innumerable, and cold, and distant, and indifferent to my fate.
Because as they were vanishing, carried away by a luminescent veil of clouds, and the wind brought us the aroma of a storm about to break, I realised that sooner or later a wave would come with enough force to drag me down from the bridge into that black abyss, that kingdom devoid of air, light or hope, inhabited by creatures whose very size and bizarre characteristics would leave those who saw them breathless.
Hi everyone, Sphiro here. I spent a few years writing a Sci-Fi novel, and I decided to upload it to a website and release all the chapters for free, one every Sunday. I don't think I'll be writing another novel after this one, just wanted to get this story off my head. For whoever is interested:Unbreakable Darkness
Ryker, a young military recruit, is sent to Mars to follow orders. But after breaking military laws to find the truth behind his father’s death, a shocking discovery forces Ryker into a desperate escape. Survival on the surface of the red planet is not the problem. His enemies want him underground, preferably alive, along with legions of others.

Hello! I am a recently new self published author. My book is available on amazon, paperback is $12.95 and my eBook is $4.99. If anyone is interested in it, here is the blurb and the GR links.July 4, 1950, a group of determined prisoners broke free of the hell that was known as the Cheyenne Mountain Parahuman Detention Center and its sadistic warden Robert Stonegate. They became the founding members of P.O.W.E.R.S. (Parahuman Organism World Emancipation and Rescue Society). They would go on to change the world and engage in a fight against those who despised them. May 13, 2016, the city of Indianapolis unwittingly comes to host the meeting place between four unlikely youths who find themselves thrust into a world that has been kept hidden from the general public. After a high-speed chase and being pursued by not only local law enforcement, but also a dangerous newfound enemy, our four heroes are taken in by a secretly run government organization that officially doesn’t exist. They must find their place and pick up a fight they inherited from the previous generation. They soon come to realize that nothing is as it seems and the webs of secrets that surround them is nothing like anything they could have imagined.

"The Tree of Death" by James G. BoswellPedro Oliveira circled a spot on the map that lay unfolded on the table before him. A thin film of sweat shined upon his forehead. Dust motes floated in the light that beamed through the hut’s wooden shutters.
He tapped his pen in the circle as he looked at Isabella Silva and said, “Here’s the place, Professor Silva. The last known location of the Apuelito tribe. It’s a month’s journey from here through the jungle on foot, but you shouldn’t go there. No one should. It’s too dangerous.”
Isabella said, “Thank you, Mr. Oliveira. I appreciate your concern, but I’ve been searching for this lost rainforest tribe for many years. I’m too close now to give up. Besides, I’ve been on a half-dozen expeditions through the jungle, the last two of them by myself. I think I’ll be fine.”

Are you ready to dive into a world of shadows?
“This exciting mashup of horror and action-adventure tropes is sure to have readers tuning in for the next installment." –Publishers Weekly
Los Angeles is an apocalyptic wasteland. The few survivors of a horrific catastrophe live under the constant threat of radiation, mutated creatures, and worse... lurking in the shadows.
In the ruins of the deserted city, the scavengers Jean and Louis come across a nameless stranger and bring him to the only safe zone, once known as Hollywood. What’s left of society is divided among different factions; mistrust, brute force, and anarchy rule every day’s life. If the struggle for survival wasn’t bad enough, the nuclear disaster has shifted realities as we knew them and brought something into our world which threatens to exterminate the human race. Something so dark, that every living being is horrified of it. Something that feeds on suffering and violence.
But humans aren’t alone in this existential fight. Unexpected allies emerge from the shadows and in the final stand, the nameless stranger will decide humanities fate.
Steve! I'll be curious how your giveaway goes. Everyone else--it's so so cool to keep seeing more blurbs and so much creativity. Great covers. Cool synopses.A friend of mine used free booksy to promote his fantasy book. I'm curious if anyone else has experience with that?

Here's the short synopsis:
Some say a person can change attitudes, change moods, and so forth, but in this tale Selwyn's change involves a slip into the odd and into the bizarre as he is shoved into a world without an option of looking back, only an option of looking over his shoulder, watching out for the horrors.
