"Godeena" is my first science fiction book. I would be very pleased and happy if anyone whant to do review.
Summary of the novel Godeena
Major Henry Broncon miraculously survives a battle with Ansker soldiers on the planet Morad. He is found under a pile of corpses, the only survivor; his best friend and the whole of his brigade remain in the field of death. Broncon is fully acquitted, receives a medal for bravery and is promoted to the rank of Brigadier, but he cannot forgive himself and he feels responsible for falling into the Ansker trap.
Shortly after, the Anskers are beaten and the war ends. The winning terrestrial colonies receive ownership of a system called Naude, comprised of various planets including Godeena. On the surface of Godeena there is a huge, completely preserved but uninhabited city that scientists have named the Absolute. Analysis of the city reveals no signs of life. A team of scientists is sent to investigate what has happened to the people and animals of Absolute. A few days later the team is attacked and contact with the scientists is lost. The General Staff sends two teams of Special Forces to find out what has happened to the expedition but they also disappear, leaving no trace.
The Commander of the General Staff, General Hensell, is personally involved with the mystery. He requests Brigadier Henry Broncon to gather a unit, composed of the worst inmates from the inescapable prison, Had, to investigate what is happening on Godeena. Henry accepts this task and collects 17 prisoners, each with unique skills. Among them is Maria, who possesses enormous psychic powers and has a wicked second personality called Kir.
The unusual team of criminals, led by Broncon, travels to Godeena to discover what terrors await them there.

War isn’t just big conflagrations of hyped up technology, even in space. It’s also a battle of wits and making the best use of your assets, no matter how mismatched they might be. Out in the stars are traces of ancient races that simply vanished. Do the wrong thing and your people will join them. Knowledge is power.

Lory Gato enjoys a privileged life, hopping from world to world, sending reports of his gourmet experiences to those back home, who can't afford the stars. He gets sent to T'negi 36, an out of the way planet where humans have a small presence. As new kids on the galactic block, humanity get the scraps — T'negi 36 is nearly airless and it'll be a long time before it's fit to live on. Like any self-respecting businessman, Lory is a socialiser but the few bars on T'negi 36 are closed. There's been problems with humans which the t'negi, like good hosts, try to gloss over. He arranges to meet a t'negi xeno-archaeologist, Liasse, who is researching a long dead civilisation. She believes whatever destroyed it is still a threat.
Lory has a run in with Earthers - humans who believe their manifest destiny is to (somehow) overthrow alien civilisations, steal alien terraforming technology, and colonize.
The technology that powers interstellar civilisation suddenly fails... then it turns out that the Earthers have powerful allies. Lory and Liasse are thrown together in a desperate bid to survive.

Synopsis:
New Megiddo has been born out of the ashes of America, an America that has sacrificed liberty for security. Ravaged by environmental disaster and shuttered off from the rest of the world by border fortress walls, and the strict dogma of spiritual leader, The Reverend Wilhelm Wainwright, the people take small comfort from the sermons the Reverend delivers straight to the people's minds via the [Virtue-Net]. However, the President John W. Schrubb Administration has been losing its grip on power. Murmurs and rumors of a resistance group of Apostates emanate from "Database" dens in the slums, financed by a mysterious source, are said to be scheming to free the people. Will the Apostates strike in time before the Born Again Gathering ushers in a state-induced Armageddon?

Revenge of Zeeka - Zeeka and the Zombies is the first book in a mystery thriller series set in the year 2036.
Twenty years ago in 2016 a virus epidemic raged over the scenic small island of Gosh off the coast of South America.
Hundreds of pregnant women who were infected with the virus, produced still born babies at the end of their term.
Twenty years later in the year 2036, at the island's national Carnival celebrations a small band parading as sailors wreaked havoc on the spectators killing and maiming several of them. Why did this happen? Who was the person or persons behind this violent act and how will this all end?
If you love thrillers with a mix of love and romance, don't miss this action-packed read

Zeeka's Child is a continuation of the story "Revenge of Zeeka: Zeeka and the Zombies." The story evolves into a more complicated plot of kidnapping, suicide note, diamond necklace with tracking device, arson, major corruption in the Police Force, flesh eating zombies, and a few 'skeletons' jump out of the closet.
In a shocking turn of events, Zeeka is revealed.
Detective Jack Wildy certainly has his work cut out for him in this episode.
Who is the mystery Master Zeeka and who is Zeeka's child?

Click on the picture for the Daimones trailer

I'm the author of multi-awarded SF trilogy "Daimones" and published by Booktrope LCC.






Daimones is the story of the death and re-birth of the human race, an apocalyptic tale that feels like it could happen tomorrow. You may never sleep through a windstorm again.
Death swept away the lives of billions, but spared Dan Amenta and his family, leading them to an uncertain future. When merely surviving isn't enough and the hunt for answers begins, memories from the past and troubling encounters lead Dan to the truth about the extermination of the human race. Distressing revelations will give new meaning to their very existence.
Early humans shaped the future and seeded a plan millions of years in the making. Now survivors must choose: Endure a future with no past or fade away into a past with no future?
GIVEAWAY
The Earth in Daimones - An Apocalyptic Travel
And now, let's have an imaginary travel visiting 28 famous places in the world. Let's also have a game together to win ebooks, paperbacks, and have fun together, maybe in chatting as well, together, guessing how long it would take for the world to become as in the pictures when we will disappear. To participate and have a chance to win, you need to guess where Daimones is taking you in those 28 stops. Some places are easily recognizable (at least 10), others much less, but all are known iconic places in the cities we'll explore together through the post-apocalyptic pictures.
Rules of Participation
The first to guess all 28 places will also win an autographed copy of Daimones

Good day, everyone! Just finished my latest novel, a near future military scifi thriller.
“When the last two remaining warships of humanity’s first interplanetary conflict face off, the fate of Mars rests in the hands of one engineer, David Goddard. If David can’t find a way through a twisted web of political deceit, technical faults and guilt over a past he cannot escape, everyone will die.”
Final Solution is a hard science fiction thriller set in the near future, a hybrid of novels such as “The Expanse”, “The Martian” and “The Hunt for Red October”. With equal parts action and intrigue, Final Solution will keep you guessing at who the enemy truly is. Secrets will lie within secrets, back room deals will be made and protective natures will threaten the future of humanity.

I am a NYC based science fiction writer. I write under the pen name EXO Books. I would be willing to offer a promotion copy of my debut novella to anyone who wants to take it for a spin. It's a unique, thoughtful, light-but-heavy piece of soft Sci-fi, far more interested in people and relationships than technology. Here's the blurb:
Captain Lincoln's last day is the hardest day of his life. An old, onetime Captain of the Ship, he always knew this day would come. Just as birthdays are carefully planned, so are deaths. Lincoln had lived a long, beautiful life but must now confront the reality that all aboard must one day face: his final day. And although he must reckon with his fate, this is not just a somber story. It is a tale of love and sacrifice, told in the context of the most advanced civilization ever to exist--a society that has taken to the stars in an effort to save all that is best in humanity.
Follow Lincoln through his internal struggles, his joy in having lived, and his journey to peace.
The End is just the beginning.
Please contact me if you're interested.
Peace and love,
EXO Books
The Last Day of Captain Lincoln


Serious crime is rare in the offshore city of Promontory - until now. What begins as a routine inquiry for new Revenue agent Beth Kincaid takes a deadly turn when the subject of her investigation disappears after an attack which also leaves her boss hospitalised. Now Kincaid finds herself embroiled in something much more than a straightforward case of fraud. Something attracting the attentions of the intelligence service and professional killers in pursuit of a group of mysterious fugitives - attentions that could prove fatal for anyone getting in their way.
Something sinister is in motion beneath the seemingly well-ordered surface of Promontory. Something with the potential to completely redefine the world as Kincaid knows it...

I'm a newbie, and I released my first SciFi thriller about aliens, medical conspiracies, sibling love, and romance a few weeks ago.

I have release the third and final book of the Apostates series

Synopsis:
Archon Greta Sanchez and Strategos Evan Nubia struggle to hold together the Manhattan Union, amid Acolyte Possession Attacks, factional strife, and Database cartel crimes, while Sister Consuela Grajales tries to provide spiritual guidance to the people after she has renounced violence. But, when the Acolyte Possessions threaten all of their families directly the former Apostates consult Simon Schrubb about this mysterious threat. Simon Schrubb directs them to seek out Paradise, a hypothetical super backup server that just may hold the key to the Acolytes. And so, they set off in an armored convoy across the radioactive city ruins and dead tree littered wastelands on their perilous quest.
Little do the Apostates know that Apedemak Nubia and his Nubian Braves fight for control of their home, Sulfur Springs, which is said to hold Paradise, against the Trinity, a being that somehow controls the Acolyte Horde. As the Nubians split up to search out allies east and west, the Republic of Ukiah finds unlikely allies in the Nubian Braves, and the former Prelate Ayane Inoguchi, who struggles to reconcile her past, while helping to defend the Republic from an all-out Chinese invasion of the West Coast.
But, amid all the chaos the Lake of Fire burns deep below the Earth and threatens to undue all labors to consume the world and usher all souls to Paradise in the name of the Trinity and the Proxy Messiah.

In the world-building tradition of Andre Norton, Anne McCaffrey and Ursula K. LeGuin, The Moreva of Astoreth is a blend of science fiction, romance, and adventure in a unique, richly imagined imperialistic society in which gods and science are indelibly intertwined. It is the story of priestess, scientist, and healer Moreva Tehi, the spoiled, headstrong granddaughter of a powerful goddess who is banished for a year from her beloved desert home to a volatile far northern corner of the planet for neglecting to perform her sacred duty, only to venture into dangerous realms of banned experimentation, spiritual rebirth, and fervent, forbidden love.

Hi everyone! My name is Laura and I just debuted my first novel in what will be a three book series, Broken Wings! I'm super excited, and nervous (as to be expected)!
'After an ancient war that left the outside air toxic, the shielded city of Utopia is the only safe place left in the world. Or so its citizens are taught to believe.
Many dismiss the lies fed to them by a familial line of crooked presidents and choose to live outside the city's walls. But when a new president takes control, he wages a war on these Outsiders, and their leader's daughter Deryn Leon is caught in the crossfire.
Five years later Deryn is a slave. Beaten and starved, she has little will to go on. But when a chance encounter leaves her with a means for escape, the forgotten fire inside of her ignites once more and she takes the opportunity with one swipe of a knife to her owner's throat.
But escaping Utopia isn't easy. While hiding in plain site, Deryn is discovered by Xander Ruby, the Utopian Guardian inadvertently responsible for her capture in the first place.
Xander, who is guilt-stricken by everything he has done as a Guardian, wants nothing more than to get Deryn home. He takes her in and they soon form a powerful bond that will not be broken, even when the reality of this cruel and beautiful world threatens to tear them apart.'

A sharp ringing filled his ears as numbness spread across his neck and shoulders. Reality briefly receded in a haze of light, but he pulled his focus back to the cockpit.
The entire left screen was a patchwork of red rectangles and blinking yellow alerts. Strobing alarms sounded silently in the vacuum. An external feed of the Comet's starboard side showed half the nacelle missing, molten metal glowing brilliantly at the breach. Orange sparks floated like fireflies until they hit the boundary, then flashed into instantaneous meteor streaks.
Ananke's voice was distant, but solidified. "Are you conscious?"

Ethan is just an ordinary teenage boy—infatuated with sports music and, of course, girls. Or so he thinks. Heading home on a rainy night from an amateur guitar gig, he finds his life turned completely upside down—literally. His car spins and flips out of control after what he believes to be a small animal jumps out in front of him. The horrific accident is only the beginning of a series of mysterious and seemingly unrelated events that will change his life forever.
After awaking in the hospital, and following an encounter with an enigmatic doctor, Ethan discovers that something that occurred during the wreck allows him to hear others' thoughts, and even more perplexing, move objects with his mind. While trying to wrap his head around this mystery, he realizes he’s not alone. There are others out there with special powers. Not long after learning of this new world, Ethan’s ever increasing lack of control places those around him at serious risk. In order to protect those he loves, he makes the difficult decision to leave and accepts an offer to attend specialized training along with other so called Supernaturals to gain command over his newfound gifts. Shortly after beginning his schooling, Ethan is sent on a mission to kidnap who he believes to be the enemy leader in a well concealed Supernaturals war. But the further he becomes embedded in this new world, the more he discovers things are not quite what they seem and doesn't know who can be trusted.
In this first installment of the Supernaturals series, Ethan discovers that super powers aren’t always so super, and is faced with difficult decisions that will not only affect his own life, but which may determine the life or death of his newfound companions and mentor.

I would say I am a pretty big science fiction fan, though not much of a reader. I am very interested in math and science, physics in particular and would very much like to pursue a career in those fields. I also love to draw, the picture I am currently using as a cover for my story is one that I drew. I recently started working on my first attempt at a novel that I am calling "Generic." It is a science fiction, biopunk story set in the near future. I have a few chapters up here and would greatly appreciate criticism of all kinds. So maybe look for it on my profile if you are interested.
Blurb thing or whatever and some such or another of the like and whatnot:
Life is pretty great for a lot of people. We have technology that our grandparents couldn't even dream of. Would they even know what a quantum computer is? And could they have predicted that we would just grow the parts of animals that we like to eat instead of wasting resources growing the whole thing? We live longer than ever before. We've cured disease thought impossible to treat.
But then why are there still so many people suffering? Why are people being forced out of homes they've lived in for years? Why do we have to buy degrees that we will spend the rest of our lives paying off? Why do we let people live in poverty instead of giving them the means to escape it? And why is it no one seems to care?
This world that we live in, it isn't right, it's broken, it's unfair and the people who make the rules are making them in their favor. We have a legal system that only punishes the poor, healthcare that bankrupts the sick, and a government that's like a coin trying to tear its two sides apart by politicians who only represent their party and those who fund their campaigns. Hard to say when it stopped working, we all just watched as everything slipped away.
But that's why Rick has a movement. Because this land is not the way it could be, it should be. I am the sword and dagger. I am the shield and spear. And we are going to fix it.
It's kind of funny though. I may be Faceless, but then having no face makes you stand out. Kind of like how a brand that labels itself 'Generic' is fundamentally unique. When everyone tries so hard to stand out they all end up exactly the same and the only ones who do are the ones trying to fit in.

The United States and its allied nation-states were victorious, but only at an unimaginable cost. The fragments of the defeated global government are mired in chaos and the profiteers of the Corporate Consortium grow ever richer while perpetuating conflict on a planetary scale.
The aspiration for a global government has not died in the minds of the would-be tyrants. Ancient feuds over race and religion have reemerged with greater intensity than ever before. Newly liberated nation-states contend against the remnants of the global government, newly formed nations, and one another for political dominance and ever more scarce natural resources. The Corporate Consortium uses its superior technology and nearly limitless wealth to mold events to its will.
The Fast Intervention Raiding and Espionage teams are elite, multinational units of genetically enhanced special operators. They are the tier one striking forces of the United States and its allies in the Free Nationalist Forces. Drawn from the world’s finest special operations forces; the F.I.R.E. teams combine the best, most demanding military training in the world with more than human physical and mental capabilities granted by advanced genetic engineering. The F.I.R.E. teams are the most lethal warriors in human history.
Leading F.I.R.E. Team Alpha, Douglas Carter finds his team at the crux of the geopolitical disintegration threatening the human race. Masters of controlled violence, the members of Team Alpha operate in a world where death is incidental, truth exists only in the shadows, and power is the only true currency.

Nice to meet you! My scifi novel is free on the Kindle today, for about 18 hours more:
Three Days Breathing
Direct Amazon link:
http://www.amazon.com/Three-Days-Brea...
It's also available in paperback, though not freely (I wish I could swing that). I'd be very grateful for any shelvings, etc! I've finally dived into GoodReads and applied for an author's page. Now that I'm here and filling my shelf I feel silly for waiting so long.
Thanks for looking!

Men of Renown is a sword-and-sorcery adventure that explores the legend of Atlantis based on a blend of science as well as the legends of Plato and the story of Noah from the Bible.
I have also written three fantasy/ sci-fi blend adventures in my Tales of Vantoria series.



These adventures take place in a world that blends multiple genres together–from fairy tale fantasy to wizards and dragons to flying cars and high-tech warfare. My goal in writing was to explore diversity in a fantasy environment where people with very different backgrounds and beliefs can come together in adventures that force them to explore their differences.
My latest TOV adventure, Dungeon of Illusion, is free this weekend for Kindle readers who would like to give it a try. For more information, visit https://www.amazon.com/Dungeon-Illusi...

Synopsis:
When a technological breakthrough allows Phillip to talk with himself three months in the future, there’s plenty of reason to celebrate the success. He has single-handedly invented one of humanity’s greatest scientific achievements. But joy leads to confusion when Phillip begins receiving strange messages from himself in the future. Adding to the intrigue is a curiously timed spatial anomaly that appears to be rapidly approaching Earth from a distant point in deep space. Are the two first-of-their-kind scientific phenomena coincidentally happening at the same time? Or is there some kind of connection between Phillip’s communications with the future and the approaching anomaly? After a shocking global event upends Phillip’s attempts to investigate, he suddenly finds himself alone to resolve the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced.
Features a gay protagonist with a universal appeal.
FYI - The characters in this story do occasionally use foul language when things get crazy. If that bothers you, you've been warned.

Just introducing my new dystopian/post-apocalyptic novel called Resistant.
The light of freedom. That is all Jennifer remembers before she escapes a secret compound deep in the wooded terrain of Arkansas. Eluding her captors, she finds a world in ruins.
Abandoned cars on the interstate act as tombs for the dead, and many of those left living have been mentally altered by what the survivors call the SA8 virus.
When Jennifer comes across a group of survivors, she thinks she’s saved, until her blood is tested for the virus and the results are inconclusive. Will the survivors allow her into their community? What about the one man who is willing to sacrifice everything to help her find the truth behind her diagnosis? Is she resistant to the virus? Does she hold the cure for human survival?

This is an erotic sci-fi about a geologist, and former porn star, who is drafted to undertake a dangerous mission to divert a rogue planet that has entered our solar system. The journey is long, and the crew has much time on their hands to kill, but they find some fun ways to entertain themselves. One of the main plot themes is that most of the crew must undergo many periods of drug induced semi-coma to preserve their very limited supplies. I really enjoyed writing this story, and am considering a sequel.
