Martin Wilsey | 27 comments Still Falling by Martin Wilsey

Free 6/26 to 6/30

http://www.amazon.com/Still-Falling-S...

Barcus is a working stiff looking for a good paycheck. When the Ventura and its crew enter orbit for a scheduled planet survey, the ship activates an automated defense system protecting the planet. Although the Ventura is destroyed in the attack, Barcus alone survives the harrowing fall to the remote planet surface. He struggles to remain alive and sane, and to discover why everyone he knew and loved on the Ventura was deliberately murdered.

Swinging between despair and fury, Barcus discovers that for every answer he obtains, there are more questions raised. Barcus is assisted by the Emergency Module, Em, his most useful tool. It is an Artificial Intelligence system contained in an all-terrain vehicle specifically designed to help him survive. Barcus soon finds himself in the middle of a planetary genocide of the local native population. He is unable to stand passively by as more people die, even if they are long lost colonists who fear "The Man From Earth" like children fear the monster under their bed.

Will Barcus ever find his way home? Will he find out who is responsible? Will his rage just burn this world down? Or will he find his soul in the eyes of a starving, frightened woman?

David | 5 comments My book Gray Panthers: Battle for Earth #1 will be free on Amazon this Saturday through Monday (Sept 5- Sept 7)
"http://www.amazon.com/Gray-Panthers-B..."
The year is 2126 it has been 30 years since Iran nuked Washington DC. America has traded security for liberty following the attack with the suspension of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The Constitution is not even taught in school any more. In this environment, Dan “D2” Daniels, a retired Army NCO of the old breed sworn to protect the constitution finds a crashed space ship and learns at the same time Earth will soon be invaded. Using the technology from the space ship, Dan forms an army of fellow senior veterans with two missions. First, to revive the Republic they had sworn their allegiance to and their second mission to save that Republic, and the world with it. Their first foray includes converting the CVN 80, USS Enterprise, a rusting air craft carrier, from a rusted heap waiting to be scrapped, into the first ship of the new space fleet of the Gray Panthers.

R. Billing (r_billing) | 196 comments "Run from the Stars" will be available for free download from 4th to 7th September.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0...

An unstable utopia...
The nine-world Arcturian Confederation have imposed five centuries of peace across more than five hundred human colonies. If orthodynamics, the technology behind faster than light travel, fell into the wrong hands, this utopia could end in a catastrophic interstellar war.
The Arcturian Space Fleet grew old and inflexible waiting for the wars that never came. Now two unscrupulous adventurers believe it would be easy prey. They plan to take over a recently colonised planet, and they don't care how many colonists they kill.
One small and seemingly fragile woman stands between them and success. A woman with a core of pure steel.
Space Fleet's Jane Gould alone can save the colonists, but at what personal cost?

R Billing takes hard SF, accelerates it way past the speed of light, and runs it directly into a wall of suspense that knocks you breathless. And I love Jane---she can take a beating and stay on target---and I cheered her from start to finish. --- Holly Lisle

First Contact or Last Chance? Sounds intriguing :-) Just hopped on over to grab it! Thanks Conal!


message 61: by Brandon (new)

Brandon Harbeke | 130 comments Starhold is a self-published novel, if that makes a difference to anyone's decision. That is not to say that it cannot be good, but there is a reason that books are offered for free sometimes. Often, as was the case for Cobra, there are other books in the series that they would like you to purchase after the free sample.


message 62: by Conal (new)

Conal (conalo) | 143 comments Starhold is the first book in a planned series. I am guessing he is offering this free now as the second book comes out next month. Self published books run the gamut of very good to unreadable but you don't know until you try. I like authors who give readers a chance to see if you enjoy their work by making the first book in a series free but that is just my opinion.

Cobra was/is a great series but I believe the free in this case has to do with Baen now publishing then and they have lots of first books in their free library.

Paul Spence (paulbspence) | 119 comments The Remnant is available as a free e-book download Oct. 24th through Oct. 28th.


The Remnant by Paul B. Spence

An archaeological expedition on the edge of human-settled space makes a startling discovery that could change the course of human history, but will anyone ever know?

Lt. Commander Hrothgar Tebrey was assigned to the archaeological expedition as a military attaché because of his knowledge of alien technology. The technology found in the ancient ruins isn't exactly alien, however, and the ruins look a little too familiar.

Now, someone - or something - is manipulating events to sabotage the expedition: something that doesn't want anyone to know about the discoveries, and will do anything to silence the scientists.

To save the expedition and the woman he loves, Tebrey must learn that while some things are worth dying for, but it's the things worth living for that matter.

Jeno (jenomarz) | 4 comments Falaha's Journey A Spacegirl's Account in Three Movements by Jeno Marz

I'm offering my science fiction book, Falaha's Journey: A Spacegirl's Account in Three Movements, as a free download from Amazon on November 24 & 25.

Blurb:

A young girl with ambition.
A desperate man on a mission.
An ancient enemy set to wipe out their entire race.

When a seemingly simple space rescue mission turns into a nightmare, Falaha, a Danna Commander Trainee with a power she can't use properly yet, has her skills put to the ultimate test as her world begins to collapse, throwing her to the center of the conflict that might wipe out her entire race.

The Danna are a species of humanoid aliens who share the Milky Way with humanity. Unlike humans, they have been around for at least three billion years and are the oldest species in the Galaxy. Born with an alien artifact in their blood, they possess abilities surpassing anything any living creature can dream of. However, both their superb space technology and their unusual blood legacy have attracted danger no one expected. Abandoning their home Galaxy, the remaining population sets out in secrecy to their last resort, Kan Diona, the place to witness their victory or to become their grave.

FALAHA’S JOURNEY is a vivid tale of alien species, races, and cultures, a family saga spanning multiple generations and extending across the Universe, a tale of identity, exploration, and self-discovery amidst a devastating struggle for survival, and a love story that touches the stars.

C.W. Crowe | 2 comments The first two books of my five volume space opera, The Alien Revelation Saga, is available for FREE on Amazon from Dec. 25th to the 29th.

http://www.amazon.com/Alien-Revelatio...

Book Three is only 99 cents during this sale. The entire saga is over 1500 pages of storytelling. It's the story of a group of normal people who have revealed to them why humans exist is such an inhospitable universe - and what they have to do about it.

It kind of nerdy, kind of fun, heart wrenching in spots and uplifting at the end.

Most love it. Some hate it. But I guarantee you've never read anything quite like it.

I email them to myself and forward them to my kindle address, not really knowing what they are about, but I don't ever want to run out of books.

I saw a mention of Freehold in a thread on women with guns and it is available at the moment.

For 3 years. The honorable thing to do in this society is to commit suicide. She doesn't.

Maria had found evidence everywhere. Fellow scientists and top government officials spun and covered up the truth.

Earth had been visited in the past.

With his grandmother Maria now dead, Vincent Moretti resumes her task of proving the existence of ancient aliens. With help from his friends and his powerful uncle Enzo he will uncover secrets about Roswell, Atlantis, and a lost Martian civilization.

The task is daunting and the risk extreme. The oppressive government of the United States has taken away personal freedom and will eliminate anyone who would dare try to unlock the power and secrets from the past. Secrets which include where the aliens are today.

Doggedly determined to exonerate his grandmother, Vincent and the crew of the Constellation set sail into the solar system. The crew must use every available resource possible, including ancient alien technology around moons of Jupiter and a surprise on Mars. Can Vincent and the crew of the Constellation overcome the government and find the treasure and technology the aliens left behind?

Tom Julian Hi - would anyone be interested in reviewing my book Timberwolf? It's a military sci-fi, political thriller - sort of like Aliens + Apocalypse Now. The reviews are really strong so far, so i think it would be worth your time. They can be found here:

https://www.amazon.com/Timberwolf-Tom...

Thank you!

Below is a summary and some teaser-type stuff for ya.

Teaser:

We've pushed out the galaxy and have met plenty of aliens... and we've fought and destroyed them all! That was until we met the Arnock - mind controlling creatures that drove us insane on contact.

Timberwolf, a former special opps soldier, was once captured by the Arnock and driven to near madness. He can now "hear" the Arnock in his head. He's gone on multiple suicide missions and come back unscathed - the alien presence in his mind forces him to survive.

Emanuel Gray used to be Timberwolf's commander and mentor. A former General, now religious fanatic - Gray believes our peace with the Arnock is a sin. He's a wanted man and has gone rogue. He's hell-bent on securing a secret weapons factory on the planet Highland and wiping the Arnock out for good.

Timberwolf now works for the Department of Peace Enforcement. He "listens" for an Arnock attack and hunts for the outlaw Gray. When the old friends but new enemies cross paths, Timberwolf chases Gray to the weapons factory world of Highland. When the Arnock arrive it becomes a battle for the deadliest weapons in the galaxy. Timberwolf will have to choose between getting the alien spider out his head or taking out Gray - all while millions of lives hang in the balance.

Amazon.com reviewers say...

"How Timberwolf hasn't been snatched up by Hollywood as a screen play, is beyond me" DavidM

Pat Powers | 12 comments Slave Girls Of Outer Space is available free on Smashwords in a variety of formats, including those used by Amazon, Barnes & Noble and most ebook readers. But it's not just free, it's a fun read!

'Slave Girls of Outer Space" is an exciting sexy space opera comedy novella ever written. It's a lighthearted space opera, with competing interstellar empires, artificial intelligences, aliens, space pirates, intergalactic empires, hair's-breadth escapes, space battles featuring starships firing ravening bolts of utter destruction and of course, mostly naked slave girls slaking their hot, steamy desires with handsome humanoids while they are running wild throughout the galaxy.

Slave Girls of Outer Space is NOT erotica, there are no prolonged, graphic descriptions of sex act, but it deals with adult topics and themes relating to slave girls in chains doing very sexy things, and is best read by adults. It is full of nude language and adult facial expressions as well.

If you are looking for a science fiction story that is sexy, fun and funny, you need to read this book.

Pat Powers | 12 comments The Homouth Part 1: Once the President, Now A Slave GirlBook 1 of the President Slave Girl series, the Homouth, is available free at Smashwords. It's filthy, disgusting and vile ... about par for any book that involves presidential politics. The sex however, is also filthy, disgusting and vile, as it involves rape, torture, bondage and oral sex in ways you've never experienced before.

Therefore, you MUST read this book. Here's the Smashwords link, I'll also put up the Goodreads link, but they tend not to to include Smashwords, hence are useless. Smashwords DOES offer the book in .mobi format for Amazon Kindle readers, btw. Also for Nook and just about any other ereader.
