by Christopher G. Nuttall

But even as they rush to unlock the technological secrets in the alien craft, the aliens launched the first step in their plan to invade the Earth and enslave the human race. With a giant mothership approaching the planet and the inhabitants promising peace and plenty, humanity must defeat a vastly superior foe with uncertain motives or lose its freedom forever. On one side, a powerful alien force… On the other side, a divided humanity… The battle for Earth has begun.
Dust Freaks & Demigods (Dome City Investigations Book 1)
by Milo James Fowler
Rookie investigator Sera Chen is having a rough week.
Her partner is a clone of the man she killed. His ghost still haunts her nightmares. Her boss seems to be going out of his way to block her investigation. And not only has a dangerous criminal escaped from custody, but a bizarre cult may be involved in a rash of deaths across the Ten Domes of Eurasia.
Life has always been precious, but it's even more so now with the last remnants of humankind living in ten interconnected biospheres along the Mediterranean Sea. When dust addicts threaten to disrupt the delicate equilibrium of the Domes, it will take a demigod to balance the scales. But even with her special abilities, Sera must first overcome her personal demons before she can stop a powerful emergent threat intent on total domination.
Mutagenesis: The New World
by Jordan Allen
Livelong. Once thought to be a miracle drug that enhanced human beings beyond imagination, in reality, it transformed them into feral monstrosities that tore the world asunder. With their enhanced durability and desire to consume, the mutants devoured millions and, one by one, the world powers fell. The humans who survived fled the cities, hoping one day that they would rise again to reclaim their lost lands.
In the year 2115, sixty-five years after the fall of the Old World, Jason Cooper thought his idyllic lifestyle in the walled settlement of Shackford would last forever, but a mutant attack brings that to a swift end. Jason embarks on a journey to find his missing family while fighting for survival against the horrors of the new world, from the chillingly deserted Texan wasteland to the reclaimed city of New Dallas ruled by the enigmatic King Mercer.
Mutagenesis: Human Regression
by Jordan Allen
The ravaged wasteland that was once the United States of America is more dangerous than ever. The slavers are looking for their next prize, the raiders are looking for their next loot and the seemingly endless roaming mutants are looking for their prey.
Jason and Sniper wander the road north in search of a survivor from Jason's fallen hometown of Shackford when they come across a man named Camlorn who speaks of a group who claim to be able to reverse the transformation of a human into a mutant. This leaves the lingering question in their mind. Could this nightmare world finally be turned back?
Jordan Allen returns with the highly anticipated sequel to his first book, Mutagenesis: The New World. Human Regression is an action-packed, post-apocalyptic tale that's blend of sci-fi and dark mystery will leave you questioning just how far is too far for revenge.
Hollow Kingdom (The Hollow Realms)
by Jordan Allen
In the wake of the cataclysmic collapse of the grand city of Altburg, heart of the Kingdom of Lochmeria, demons roam free in the desecrated streets. They hunt those unfortunate enough to remain trapped within the city walls, as well as those fool enough to dare plunder the vast riches left behind.
Prince Gresten Lochmeria returns to his fallen home after twenty years, searching for the truth. He embarks on a bloody journey to find the answers to his most burning questions. What was the fate of his brother, Prince Germund, and his father, King Gerath?
All that the young prince can be certain of is that in this haunted city, death awaits those who do not tread carefully.
Jordan Allen returns with his second book, Hollow Kingdom, following his first full-length novel, the post-apocalyptic sci-fi Mutagenesis: The New World. Hollow Kingdom is a dark fantasy action story inspired by classic sword and sorcery.
Ashes of the Necropolis (The Hollow Realms)
by Jordan Allen
The city of Furcht, a city rumoured to hold the secret to eternal life, calls to those who seek its greatest prize. The fools who heed the call soon find themselves drawn into the Necropolis that lies at the edge of the city. Only evil awaits those who enter, and the good that enters does not last long.
Erde of Olfen, a renowned mercenary, awakens from a coma with only a letter telling him where the rest of his band has disappeared to. He sets off on a journey to Furcht in search of his companions, but finds that he must brave the undead army of the wicked lich, Xantem the Black, if he is to have any hope of finding them.
The mercenary soon realises that, in this cursed city, bravery will only get you so far.
Jordan Allen returns with his third book and the second in the Hollow Realms series, Ashes of the Necropolis. Returning to the dark fantasy world of its predecessor, Ashes of the Necropolis is even more action-packed than Hollow Kingdom.
The Way of Mortals: The Four Sisters: Book One
by Blake Carpenter (Author)
In the city of Bhai Mandwa, towers of steel and glass reach for the sky while boiler-cars roll along streets that are inhabited by gangsters, demonic assassins, inept policemen and wandering ghosts. More than a million people call the city home, one in the midst of an industrial revolution, torn between the traditions of the old world and a new, frightening future. Below, the Genja River flows, waters possessed by spirits and magic from ancient times.
Prem Marantha, third of four royal sisters, was kidnapped and trained to kill as a child. Upon returning home after her long absence, she discovers that her parents are dead and her youngest sister has taken the throne. Now Prem must find out how to evade an assassin’s plot, elude the unwanted attention of the ruling Parliament and the police force it controls, and stop a conspiracy planning to overthrow the monarchy for good.
THE WAY OF MORTALS is a mix of Indian-flavored steampunk, gaslamp fantasy and alternate history, with the aesthetics of Larry Correia’s SON OF THE BLACK SWORD and Guy Ritchie’s SHERLOCK HOLMES films, along with a dash of political intrigue, mystery, and murder. Fans of fantasy with an Asian and Oriental twist will not be disappointed.
Here’s what readers are saying about The Way of Mortals—
“[T] his plot is among the best written intrigue I have read in a fantasy novel.”
—Quinn Giguiere, Silverstonesbooks.com
“The magic system is incorporated beautifully in the action, which is well-paced. The climatic battle between Prem and the mysterious antagonist is spectacular, imaginative and strangely beautiful.”
—S. Kirk Pierzchala, author of Echoes Through a Distant Glass, Harshest Dawn and more
“This book is wonderful. The protagonist Prem is a really exciting character. The world building is truly spectacular. The plot makes this book hard to put down. There's action, demons, and just the right amount of political intrigue. I'd never read a book with Indian-theme/flavor but I can tell you I'll be reading more.”
— W. Smith, Amazon review
Buckingham Runner
by Frederick Gero Heimbach
I’m sixteen and I’m living in a prison. It’s called Buckingham Palace. I’m Alfred, Prince of Wales.
My parents are dead. My grandma–the Queen–has lost her mind. My only friend is an alcoholic corgi named Wormwood. I’m being raised by bureaucrats. Who hate me.
The tabloids call me ROYAL BRAT. That’s for getting kicked out of Eton. For setting fire to the chapel. And stabbing the headmaster in the foot with a syringe.
I’m doing a runner. Someone’s got to help me!
Maybe those kids can. Yeah, them. In the Westminster School uniforms. The clever clogs, raising their hands, answering the teacher’s questions. The athlete, the genius, the girlboss, the babe. Each with a brilliant future. At Oxford. Or Cambridge.
Would they throw that away for my sake? Would they risk getting sacked from London’s top school to help a poor tosser like me? When guards are watching my every move, listening in on every conversation? Me, with a bloody GPS tracker in my hip?
I’m a hot mess. They’ve got it all together. I’m a prisoner. They can go anywhere. I’ll never escape–unless they take pity on me.
They better. I’m this close to striking the match that burns Buckingham Palace to the ground.
Violent Ends
by Steve Stark
From Steve Stark, author of A Hot Dose of Hell, now comes a Thrillogy of Stark Terrors, three grisly, splatter-filled tales of serial killers, sadistic home invaders, vicious thugs and a whole nightclub full of hedonistic revellers in scenes of mortal peril and supernatural horror...
Stark will take you on a Terrorific tour of his brutal, bizarre world, from the seedy streets of Scarmouth town to the harsh rural landscape of Lynchton, with all routes set to terminate in some very Violent Ends.
Buckle up, and keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times.
This one's a Hell of a ride!
"The Master of the action scene"
Richard Nichols, The Red-Pilled Fiction Factory
"Stark writes with graphic, detailed prose, showing the horror, fear and violence on the page as vividly as if it was on a cinema screen"
John Davies, author "Muscle"
"Stark is like King without a conscience. Barker but more badass."
Nick Horvath author "Sledge Vs the Labyrinth"
Inquisitor's Promise
by Michael P. Marpaung
Young Inquisitor Aeneas Aquilanus made two promises: one to his dying father, the other to his beloved Galatea.
To his father, Aeneas promised to finish his last mission to unify the Holy League and rally them against the apocalyptic threat of the Grey Globe. To Galatea, he promised the aspiring lady knight to become her lord and Inquisitor.
But politics in the 74th century can be violent and complicated. The Five Factions of the Holy League had long seen each other with suspicion. Can they put aside their differences to save Earth?
Even his promise to Galatea is not without problems for Aeneas as he has four additional girls who are in love with him. Each of these five girls are faction princesses, women who have close connections to each of the Five Faction’s leaders.
Love and politics are an explosive combination, but the Inquisitor shall remain true to his pledged word.
Escaping Fate (Paradox Book 1)
by Henry Brown
Pete Bedauern began his life as a latchkey kid in a run-down trailer park with a single mom, living on stale hot dog buns and bleak prospects. Those were the cards Fate had dealt him, and Pete was on his way to becoming an angry young man. Then Pete’s estranged uncle burst on the scene to punch Fate in the mouth.
Uncle Si is scarred inside and out; he’s a hard drinker; painfully blunt; a little mysterious and maybe even scary, but takes an interest in his nephew that Pete’s father never took. Most of Uncle Si’s life is a secret, but through the part of it he shares, Pete undergoes a master course on life, love, and full-contact sports.
As it turns out, Uncle Si not only has tons of money, multiple businesses, and a fleet of fast cars, he also owns a time machine.
Paradox is one good-hearted-but-alienated boy’s odyssey into manhood, and Escaping Fate is the opening leg of that journey. Before it’s complete, Pete will learn the guarded secrets of history, take on a pan-continuum conspiracy, contend for a world championship, crack the code for success with women…and even save the world.
Well, one world, maybe…
Rebooting Fate (Paradox Book 2)
by Henry Brown
An Amazon Bestseller and Top New Release! (December 2023)
Pete was rescued from the dimension-hopping death squad that "erased" his biological family. Now he's in a makeshift cross-continuum witness protection program. Uncle Si gives him a new home in a peaceful neighborhood, a new life in the blissful postwar era, a new, affluent family that cares about him, and a new identity: Ike Jaeger, on an alternate path to a future that was impossible from Pete Bedauern's native time period and circumstances.
But even at these idyllic time-space coordinates, there are challenges. Acquiring a girlfriend is a lot easier than keeping a girlfriend, for instance. A strong arm for throwing footballs is not as important as the leadership required to be a great quarterback. No matter how pleasant the environment, there will always be bullies. You have to lose some fights while learning to be a winner. And one little coding error in a warp interface's software can transport you to a future even worse than the leftist hellhole you escaped from.
Paradox is much more than a time-traveling rags-to-riches adventure--it's an odyssey into manhood for a hard-luck boy who is reborn with the chance to re-write his own destiny. In Rebooting Fate, that boy becomes a young man blazing a trail toward ambitions he never dared entertain before.
Defying Fate (Paradox Book 3)
by Henry Brown
An Amazon Bestseller! (February 2024)
Ike Jaeger is off to college, earning a degree he may put to use colonizing Planet Valhalla, or designing a warp generator that will revolutionize time-space jumps. But he's not going to let classes, studying, or homework distract him from what's most important: football, hot rods, and girls.
Handpicked by Coach Stauchel, Ike steps into the limelight as the starting quarterback for the Yosemite Pumas. With the weight of the team's aspirations on his shoulders, leading them to victory outweighs maintaining a low profile.
Scholarly pursuits may fail to interfere with gridiron glory, but unforeseen misadventures just might: a wrong turn into a postapocalyptic future, an ill-fated obsession with fighting in World War Two, and encounters with an array of vivacious vixens. Will the clairvoyant African prophetess in 1960 Sierra Leone capture his heart? What about the glamorous Hollywood hopeful in 1942, or the vampish Marxist professor teaching his political science class at Yosemite Polytechnic?
Ike escaped his own dystopian destiny, but Fate is a vindictive mistress, hell-bent on dragging him back into her cruel clutches. Will she gain revenge with a blind-side cheap shot by a hulking defensive lineman, by using communist occupational forces to blow his antique fighter plane out of the sky, or by exposing Ike as a time-traveling fugitive from an alternate reality to cross-continuum assassins?
Paradox is much more than a time-traveling rags-to-riches adventure. It's the epic adventure of a boy who perhaps was never supposed to be presented a chance to strive for greatness...but was anyway. In Defying Fate, that boy is now an adult--but the journey to manhood is far from over.
Provoking Fate (Paradox Book 4)
by Henry Brown
Not on sale; but available for preorder!
Ike Jaeger blazes through his senior year surrounded with opportunities. With two Bowl championships under his belt, he's earned the interest of a professional football team. The US involvement in Vietnam is escalating, opening up a commission and even fighter pilot slots. His talent for engineering is earning him respect among the scientists on Planet Valhalla and elsewhere. There's no shortage of beautiful wife material, either.
He can't quite get over the JFK assassination, though. The official narrative is ludicrous, and he won't accept it. Finding the truth behind the murder plot draws him down a rabbit hole that leads him through a whirlwind tour of history that exposes it as just one part of an international conspiracy that might turn out to be timeless.
In Provoking Fate, the Paradox series becomes a roller coaster ride fraught with epiphany, danger, and personal tragedy, flinging Ike toward a secret war that transcends multiple realities and the dimensions in between.

After Moses by Michael F. Kane
His gruff exterior hides a man who wants to do the right thing. But running from trouble won’t work when the planets need a hero.
Arizona Colony, Mars. Matthew Cole doesn’t want anyone else aboard his ship. But the notorious solo freelancer is persuaded against his better judgment to guard a dangerous prison transport along with an exo-suit-clad former rival. Outmaneuvered when the crook’s cronies spring the inmate with heavy firepower, the poncho-wearing captain vows to scour the solar system to restore his rep and claim his paycheck
Reluctantly banding together with his seven-foot partner in her powered armor, Matthew has his hands full leading an unwanted ragtag crew. But the headache of dealing with people again is nothing next to the prickling between his shoulders as he continues to run afoul of greedy politicians and criminal syndicates.
Is this space cowboy’s moral compass sending him to a fatal crash landing?
I’m probably going to take some heat for this, but I’ll say it anyway: After Moses is better than Firefly, better than Star Trek, and if you question if that’s even possible, this is for you.

Torchship Captain
by Karl K Gallagher
Conclusion of the Torchship Trilogy

Eclipse: The Girl Who Saved the World (Eclipse — the Girl Who Saved the World Book 1)
by George Phillies (Author), Brad Fraunfelter (Illustrator)
Eclipse —
World’s Greatest Tween Superhero
World’s Most Terrifying Tween Supervillain
Opinions differ.
She’s caring, daring, deadly
…and here to save the world
whether it likes it or not.
Meet Eclipse.
She’s twelve. She’s hardworking, bright, self-reliant, good with tools, vigorously physically fit, tough as nails, still young enough to disguise herself as a boy. She’s also a persona: She flies, reads minds, and is not afraid of necessary violence.
She had a bit of a problem with her mom. Her mom threw her out of the house. Then Mom blew up the house and disappeared.
Now she’s procured the Holy Namestone, the Key to Paradise. And everyone in the world will be happy to kill her to get their hands on it.
Meet Trisha.
She’s not quite a year older than Eclipse. She’s friendly, considerate, really good in school, athletic, does more than her share around the house. She’s also a persona. She has superspeed…an hour of housework in a minute. She flies, including from here to the next galaxy in an hour.
She also has a bit of a problem with her parents. They always treat her with complete contempt, totally grounded her, and won’t say why.
Her brother and sister are personas, too. Year-younger sister Janie is a budding world chess and go champion. She also reads minds, sees distant events, and can kill with a glance. Her twin brother Brian is incredibly good with tools, builds fantastic models from scratch, has a nearly unbreakable force field, and summons plasma beams that cut battleships in half.
Eclipse is Volume 1 of the This Shining Sea series. Volume 2, Airy Castles All Ablaze, will be a major rewrite of my much older novel This Shining Sea. There will be a Volume 3, Stand Against the Light, and a Volume 4, Of Breaking Waves, because Eclipse still needs to save Spindrift from having died.
Mistress of the Waves

Amanda begins with her wits, her determination, and her dory Northstar. She’s up against typhoons, pirates, assassins, financial bubbles, starfarer ultratech, and the mythical giant ship-eating squid. Can she beat them all to find the path to her dream?
Man of the House
by Kalkin Trivedi
By his mid-teens, Jason Olson expected to go to college, find a good job, start a family, and enjoy with them the kind of lifestyle he grew up with as the son of a successful Oncologist. Then one evening, a casual announcement after dinner abruptly changed his prospects.
Now some years later, he still managed to start a family, but he’s a lot less confident in himself now than he would have been if life had gone according to plan. He feels like he’s lost his bearings by which to navigate life. Then a family crisis requires that Jason help out with his spit-fire of a niece. Can a man with so little control over his own life handle the extra responsibility without it messing up his life any more than it already is?
Learn along with Jason how to…
be a hands-on dad instead of a passive dad
handle disciplinary matters yourself, without any yelling, nagging, hitting, or passing the buck to mom
talk to kids (and adults too, actually) about problems in a calm, business-like manner, acting neither like a wimp nor a bully
avoid doing what most parents unwittingly do that escalates conflict
train kids to respond to just two words, to put an immediate halt to misbehavior
avoid anger, frustration, and embarrassment at home or in public
discourage bad habits and prevent the formation of new ones
help kids learn how to manage impulses and resolve negative emotions
respect your children and promote their good self-esteem
watch out for bad influences and sinister characters
cultivate good relationships with your kids, and avoid the mistakes that lead many well-intended dads to heartbreaks
encourage performance and personal growth
reclaim your place as an integral part of the family.

Sanity
by Neovictorian
Have you sometimes felt, since an early age, that you were an alien, somehow placed on Earth and observing the antics of humans as if they were a different species? Why do they believe such stupid things? Why do they do such dumb things? And why do they keep doing them over and over again, seemingly incapable of learning from the bad outcomes of all the previous attempts?
That is how Cal Adler felt since childhood and, like most people with such feelings, kept them quiet and bottled up while trying to get ahead in a game whose rules often seemed absurd. In his senior year in high school, he encounters a substitute guidance counselor who tells him, without any preliminary conversation, precisely how he feels. He’s assured he is not alone, and that over time he will meet others. He is given an enigmatic contact in case of emergency. He is advised, as any alien in a strange land, to blend in while observing and developing his own talents.
Then he meets a Mystery Woman…and the real adventure begins.
Providence
by Richard Sezov
Two coasts, two tragedies.
A car accident in the east sends the lives of multiple unrelated people in different directions, some of them on collision courses.
A school shooting in the west takes some lives and saves others.
What are we to make of all this?
Is life just a series of meaningless, unrelated events, or is reality following a plan?
A teacher, plumber, librarian, student, deadbeat, and others learn the answer to this and more during the course of a single, roller coaster of a day.
James R. Hannibal, award-winning and bestselling author of The Paris Betrayal says “Richard Sezov holds nothing back in this thoughtful and intense look at God’s sovereignty. He paints an intricate portrait of a dozen lives, steadily blending each stroke to show the Master Painter at work bringing good out of their suffering and sin.”
A Greater Duty (Galaxy Ascendant Book 1)
by Yakov Merkin
The Galactic Alliance was not ready for war. When it is suddenly invaded by the cold and relentless Tyrannodon Armada, under the command of emotionless, amoral Executor Darkclaw, it is immediately sent reeling.
The invasion was a godsend for some, however, such as Grand Admiral Nayasar Khariah, who had wanted nothing more than revenge on the Alliance following an attack on her homeworld. The arrival of the Tyrannodons presents her with an opportunity, one that she seizes gleefully.
However, Executor Darkclaw, who has been prosecuting the invasion on orders of his master, the all-powerful energy being known only as the High Lord, has started having second thoughts once he unexpectedly starts feeling emotions he does not understand. Suddenly, he finds himself heretically questioning the only purpose he has ever known—irrevocably altering his view of the ongoing war.
Meanwhile, within the Galactic Alliance, Second Scion Dalcon Oresh, member of an order dedicated to preserving the it, struggles to stop the Alliance’s bleeding, the source of which may not be entirely external.
Darkclaw’s newfound friendship with Nayasar will be pushed to its breaking point, Nayasar’s relationships with her closest friends and loved ones will be strained as her quest for vengeance becomes more and more a personal obsession, and Dalcon must determine who he can truly trust.
All the while, the imminent existential threat of the High Lord looms over everything, and the key to stopping him, and saving not just the Alliance, but the entire galaxy, may only be found in the remains of a ancient, powerful race, and the creations they left behind…
Light Unto Another World: Volume 1
by Yakov Merkin
As a soldier, Uriel Makkis was prepared for many things. Being pulled through a portal into another world was not one of them.
He soon learns that he was brought to this world for a reason, as the heralded Sword of Light. However, something is amiss, as he first appeared in the middle of nowhere, rather than the capital as intended.
While he is meant to travel there straightaway to learn more, Uriel has no intention of doing as he’s told, not when there are people he can help right where he is.
Back home, he was just an average soldier; here, he can truly make a difference, and Uriel will not let the opportunity pass by.
But it won’t be easy. Uriel will have to rely on his faith, his newfound friends, and the skills and knowledge he brings from back home, as he throws himself headlong into a new conflict, becoming a beacon of light on this new world!
In this new isekai adventure, you can’t just leave the old world behind.
Two coasts, two tragedies.

Change the past. Control the present. Rule the future.
They’ll do anything to hide the truth.
When high school student Peter Burdell uncovers a subtle clue in a dusty book buried deep in a forgotten Appalachian library, he realizes someone altered history. Who’s been lying, and why?
His discovery lands Peter in the cross hairs of the deadly Cabal whose Deep State agents changed the past to control the present, so they can rule the future. Aided by family and friends, Peter races against the odds to expose the conspiracy and uncover the answer to the most important question of his life:
What is The Hidden Truth?
Reviews: “Umberto Eco wishes that he had written these books.”
Hans G. Schantz’ THE HIDDEN TRUTH is most highly recommended.
It is a gem of a book, a rare find, combining a charming coming of age story, diamond-hard science fiction speculation, a conspiracy thriller, a touch of trenchant political commentary, and, uniquely, a challenge written into a science fiction book of the reigning scientific orthodoxy of the day….
This trilogy works on several levels. In style, theme, in social commentary, in genre, in plot-weaving and world-building, the craftsmanship is top-notch.
Stylistically, it is written in the same journalistic prose as a Heinlein juvenile, but, frankly, is better. Not only are some of Heinlein’s more dubious moral lessons absent, the work attempts something more ambitious: introducing a real theory of physics in the midst of a fictional adventure yarn.
Thematically, it is a bracing and inspiring coming-of-age story telling young readers and reminding older readers what it means to be a man, a man of integrity, in a world where no one is there to dig you out of a mess.
It works as social commentary. As in a Heinlein juvenile, there are memorable quips and trenchant observations about political realities peppered throughout the dialog, which have as much application in our world as theirs.

Deathbringer: The Spellswords Saga: Book One (The Spellsword Saga 1)
by Blake Carpenter (Author), Michael Gallagher (Editor)
Inga Alenir is a Swordbearer. She is the latest in a long line of women to inherit a magical weapon called Deathbringer. She's also dead, murdered on her wedding day by the ruthless and covetous noblewoman Yenda Avard, who steals the sword after killing Inga and her entire family.
And yet, some secrets won't stay buried. Deathbringer has a will and a consciousness of its own, and even has the power to raise Inga from the dead for a short time. It warns her that she has one week to find and retrieve the sword before death reclaims her—permanently. With each day bringing her doom and final demise ever closer, Inga will have to see just how far she's willing to go to achieve her vengeance.
DEATHBRINGER is a compositional mix between the violent, grisly hunt for revenge in the film THE NIGHTINGALE and the tale of Vasher and his talking sword Nightblood in Brandon Sanderson's WARBREAKER. Fans of dark fantasy, of tragic love stories and tales about seeking revenge against long odds will enjoy this debut novel by Blake Carpenter in the world of Agareth where a scorned, young widow fights back against the powerful elites that wronged her, and begins a journey that might turn the entire world against her.
Winner of Upstream Reviews' Best of 2023 Golden Raygun Award!
What Readers are Saying About Deathbringer—
"Those who like tales of revenge with protagonists who do not lose their humanity or become permanently obsessed by it will enjoy this book. Anyone who wants to see other cultures portrayed in new settings and new ways will find it entertaining as well. The novel should appeal to fantasy fans everywhere but particularly those interested in Slavic and Russian milieus, as the story has the air of Anastasia about it. Those who want a new twist on familiar tropes should find this story quite engaging."
—Caroline Furlong, Upstream Reviews (https://upstreamreviews.substack.com/)
"I fell in love with these characters... If you love a good revenge story, it's so good. I had a great time with this one!"
—The Nerdy Narrative (https://www.youtube.com/TheNerdyNarrative)
"I think this one is truly special... The world of Agareth is a vast and uncompromising one, being filled with dangers and factions striking out to meet their own ends, forging their way in a world which appears obsessed with progress. However, seeing our main protagonist, Inga, rise up to the challenge in spite of what’s placed in front of her makes it all the more compelling to read."
—The Lord Otter (https://downstreampulp.substack.com/)
"Carpenter has a deft, confident style that pulls the reader in and keeps them there, connecting with the characters and exploring their world. He has crafted an exquisitely written, perfectly-paced, throughly gripping tale. I am definitely looking forward to the next installment. Highly recommended."
—S. Kirk Pierzchala, author of Echoes Through a Distant Glass, Harshest Dawn and more
M., Goodreads Review: "It's technically amazing. Snappy, quick paced, action packed, and with memorable characters who are well written and well realized that feel like actual people. Also has a cool early 1900's Russian inspired semi-Steampunk setting which is super rare to see in Fantasy. 8/10."
K.D. McAllister, Amazon Review: "Blake absolutely stuck the landing with a highly satisfying conclusion to Inga's tragic mission and by books end I was fully invested in her, the supporting characters, the BLADE LORE, and teases of what is to come. You can just tell Blake has so much more he wants to tell us! Buy this so that he CAN! 4/5 stars"

Sanctum of the Archmage: Dawn of Chaos
by Tony Andarian
Full Trilogy Edition
(Includes Prologue to Chaos, Hell Gate, and Aftermath)
A new constitution prepares Carlissa for an era of enlightenment. The old order fades, and a promise of freedom stirs the air.
In the space of one terrifying day, that promise is shattered in a bloodbath of fire and magic.
Thousands of years ago, an epic battle was fought between good and evil. The demon lords had opened a door to the realms of hell itself, and their horde threatened to overrun the earth. But the Kalarans, led by the hero Calindra, destroyed their hellgate and drove them from the world.
The Great War has long since been lost to myth and legend. The Church struggles for relevance as the people forget their covenant with the gods. A renaissance of freedom and learning stirs the air in the modern age of Carlissa, led by the royal family, and the wisdom of the Archmage.
All of that comes to an end when a dome of shimmering magic appears in the capital city. The people fight desperately to survive in the chaos that follows, and wonder bitterly why the gods seem to have abandoned them. Their only hope lies with the magic of the Archmage — and his, with a free-spirited princess who never wanted to rule. She must find the strength to set aside her bard’s calling and take up a battle against impossible odds, or surrender her land and people to the Black Magus and his demons.
Dawn of Chaos brings the award-winning Sanctum of the Archmage role-playing games to the world of fantasy fiction. Don't miss this exciting first volume in the saga!
Note to Readers. Dawn of Chaos is a “compilation volume” that includes previously published titles. It was re-released in 2022, and is also available as a trilogy of e-books: Prologue to Chaos, Hell Gate, and Aftermath.

First, he is invited to join Stormin’ Norman’s new rock band for a whirlwind tour. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play with a musical genius and he can’t let it pass…but it’s scheduled for the very week he needs for last minute wrenching so his car can make the Conquistador’s tech inspection.

Jones also crosses paths with five-time Conquistador champ Bob Tilford, and there’s bad blood between them from the starting gun. It was going to be challenging enough racing against Tilford with his big-time sponsors, high-dollar mechanic and world-class GT car, but Tilford also has tremendous influence over race officials he doesn’t hesitate to use in his grudge against Deke Jones. To keep it all interesting, Deke’s co-driver bails on him at the last minute, with no time to scrounge up a replacement.
Get your motor runnin’. Deke Jones is gonna close this summer out with a bang, one way or another.
Shadow Hand Blues: A Cold Case Murder Mystery (A Deke Jones Romp)
by Michael Kayser
In 1954 budding blues virtuoso Waymon “Tornado” Fuller is executed for the murder of a North Carolina woman. In 1994 nomadic hot-rodder, moonlighting private investigator and blues aficionado Deke Jones stumbles upon Fuller’s guitar, triggering a mudslide of buried truths. Fuller’s innocence is one revelation. Another is “Shadow Hand Blues”–the last song he recorded, which Jones has never heard of.
An impromptu search for the studio where the recording session took place leads Jones to a small hippie town seemingly still enjoying the Summer of Love, where the psychodelic atmosphere turns from surreal to hostile when he begins asking questions.
Vintage Fender Telecaster in one hand, steering wheel of his radical Cyclone Spoiler II in the other, Deke Jones launches a one-man crusade to exonerate the infamous musician and find the obscure recording. The blood trails are 40 years cold, but neither corrupt good ol’ boy cops, sex industry sadists, nor fanatical pyramid-schemers can throw Deacon Jones off this case.
This investigative pilgrimage propels Jones right into the bloodstained fingers of a clandestine power elite Tornado Fuller called the Shadow Hand.
The Curly Wolf
by M.R. Kayser

Just as the nesters are banding together to resist the land grab, Blue Stone’s newest deputy rides through their valley.
Before they realize the sleepy-eyed youngster called Arizona is a veteran gunfighter hired to bulldoze them off their claims, he has already broken bread with them, danced with their daughters…and stolen the heart of one.
Young Theresa Gutierrez believes Arizona is more than a curly wolf with quick trigger fingers and a stone-cold heart, but her parents and neighbors have good reason to believe otherwise.
What everyone agrees upon is that, in the brewing range war, the Arizona Kid is liable to be right smack in the midst of the killing.

Harold Muldoon, hard-boiled detective, must travel back through time to save two colliding realities – before he loses his head.
Muldoon has a big problem: he’s dead. Twenty years ago, a monk with a kodachi cut off his head. Now Irena, his widow, is searching for him. So is Gavin Lennox, power-hungry owner of The Pearl, the hottest night spot in all of NewCity. Cyrus Horton, an eccentric inventor, has also joined in the search. They’re all looking for the BackTracker, a time travel device that has caused divergent realities to spiral out of control. In one of them, Muldoon is still alive.
He was a private investigator, the best at what he did. He solved his cases 100% of the time. Hindsight is, after all, 20/20. And the BackTracker allowed him to change the past. But in the process, his travels through time have unraveled the universe, stretching, tearing the fabric of space-time and sending his own mind into oblivion. He can no longer distinguish between true and false memories; he no longer knows who he was.
BackTracker is about a hero dealing with the consequences of his actions. It’s about second chances. And it’s about what makes us human despite technology’s power to shape society. But at its core, it’s a story about a man and woman who won’t allow anything to keep them apart – not space-time, not even death.

Pixie Noir (Pixie for Hire Book 1)
by Cedar Sanderson
You can't keep a tough Pixie down…
Lom is a bounty hunter, paid to bring magical creatures of all descriptions back Underhill, to prevent war with humans should they discover the strangers amongst them. Bella is about to find out she's a real life fairy princess, but all she wants to do is live peacefully in Alaska, where the biggest problems are hungry grizzly bears. He has to bring her in. It's nothing personal, it's his job… "They had almost had me, that once. I’d been young and foolish, trying to do something heroic, of course. I wouldn’t do that again anytime soon. Now, I work for duty, but nothing more than is necessary to fulfill the family debt. I get paid, which makes me a bounty hunter, but she's about to teach me about honor. Like all lessons, this one was going to hurt. Fortunately, I have a good gun to fill my hand, and if I have to go, she has been good to look at." Dave Freer, author of Dog and Dragon, The Forlorn, and many others, says: "
"To those of you who thought there was nothing new worth reading in Fantasy: Cedar Sanderson’s Pixie Noir proves that you are wrong. The author plainly knows and loves her setting and characters, and this carries through to the reader. The pace picks up throughout, so save this book for a weekend, or you’ll be complaining about a lack of sleep at work. A very good read!"

The Brothers of Redemption: Technium, v. 1
by Diana Murray (Author)
Two Renegade Brothers
One Rebellious Girl
A World Redeemed
Immerse yourself in Technium, a gripping two-volume tale of survival, sacrifice, and second chances.
In a world ravaged by the collapse of civilization, middle-aged brothers Jed and Max Kleer find themselves on an unexpected journey—one that propels them to the heart of redemption.
As the brothers navigate the remnants of a fractured society, they encounter Hannah, a lost girl who holds the key to their salvation.
Will the three grasp redemption, or will the echoes of their past consume them?
The journey they start won’t be the one they finish.
While Technium echoes the dark themes of such classic speculative novels as Handmaid’s Tale and Brave New World, it defies the conventions of the dystopian genre by combining romance, humor, optimism, and lyrical meditations on the America that once was and might one day be to produce a wholly original vision.
Technium consists of two volumes, The Brothers Of Redemption and A Daughter Of Her People.
Franklin Pierce in Death of a Vice President
by Eric M. Hamilton
Madness, murder, and mystery permeates throughout this Edgar Allan Poe-inspired thriller!
It is early April 1853.
Franklin Pierce, the newly elected President of the United States, has suffered the greatest personal tragedy of his life, plunging him into a depression fueled madness.
The Vice President, William King, unexpectedly appears at the White House in the middle of the night having overheard details of an international assassination conspiracy that threatens both King and Pierce. Unfortunately, Vice President King is killed without any clue as to who could have done it.
Can President Franklin Pierce overcome his personal demons and discover who killed the Vice President before they kill him too?
Franklin Pierce in Death of a Vice President is a thrilling psychological horror, starring the president from the 1850’s you forgot in 4th Grade. It’s an exciting read, and you don’t have to be familiar with Franklin Pierce at all to enjoy the story (in fact, it may be a better story if you go in knowing almost nothing). This is perfect for the American history-buff and “normal people” alike!
Through the Lichgate
by Kyle Adams

(The Drama Club Presents Book 2)
by Kyle Adams

The girl who can animate the dead was only the first to appear. Many more magic-users of all types reveal themselves–illusionists, summoners, kids who can see the future, and entire agencies with nefarious goals. They all seek to exploit Pierre’s talents in their schemes. Little do they know he has schemes of his own.
Pierre only has one chance to break free from these meddlesome jerks, a dangerous magic heist that could help him ascend to godhood– but it requires betraying everyone who cares about him.
Hell and Gone (The Retreads Book 1)
by Henry Brown
An Amazon Bestseller!
This rag-tag gang of has-beens has never worked together before, but Dwight “Rocco” Cavarra has less than a week to train them and lead them on the hairiest operation of their lives.
It’s not bad enough that they have to plow through an African civil war, infiltrate a fortified terrorist encampment and steal a black market tactical nuke from a mob of fanatic sociopaths – there are Israeli wild cards in play: two death-dealing Mossad agents who don’t necessarily share Cavarra’s agenda.
When the mission is compromised before it has even started, Rocco and his Retreads are caught between bloodthirsty local warlords and the genocidal government in a fight to the death. And this battle might be just the first in the next world war.
Hell and Gone is a character-driven pulp action thriller that will take you on a wild ride.
Tier Zero (The Retreads Book 2)
by Henry Brown
When a party of American college girls are sold into slavery by human traffickers, a rescue mission is too dirty, too dangerous, and too difficult for any government to touch. That’s where The Retreads come in.
The pirates thought they found the perfect target: a private yacht foolishly sailing through the Malacca Straits, which could discretely and easily be sold on the black market.
The human traffickers thought the boat was hauling the perfect cargo: young, attractive women who would generate income in brothels around the region.
What made the caper not so perfect was that one of the girls had an uncle who took it personally.
Another Amazon Bestseller from Henry Brown…”One helluva adventure writer.” – Jim Morris (author of War Story, The Devil’s Secret Name)
You can take a man out of Special Operations, but you can’t take SpecOps out of the man. Tommy Scarred Wolf calls on his old friend Rocco Cavarra, who still has contacts in the intelligence business. Other survivors of the Sudan mission also rally behind Tommy, signing on for the kind of favor that can never be repaid.
Armed with all the firepower and force multipliers they can scrounge, shadowed by a team of secret assassins, the Retreads ride again, bringing smoke and taking names. Tier Zero is old-school military adventure you haven’t enjoyed since the full-auto glory days of Able Team and Phoenix Force.
False Flag (The Retreads Book 3)
by Henry Brown
“Thanks, Hank, for the authenticity. Semper Fi!”
A perfect storm is bearing down on the United States of America, combining nationwide financial devastation, conventional and nuclear terror, and Civil War II. High-placed traitors in the Deep State want to make it worse–not better. The Retreads have overcome some long odds in the Sudan and Indonesia, but nothing like this end game on the home front.
“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” – Samuel Adams
Diverse Americans are living their lives the best they can during twilight’s last gleaming–most of them never suspecting the turmoil about to come crashing down all around them. Others see the storm approaching, but don’t know what, if anything, can be done to avoid it.
Joshua Rennenkampf loves his country, but prepares for an economic collapse he believes inevitable. Dwight Cavarra is horrified by what looks like an impending race war, but speaking reason into the pressure cooker of irrational hatred might as well be punching at the wind. Tommy Scarred Wolf pushes back against the fundamental transformation from Rule of Law to a Strong Man police state, but can only accomplish so much by himself.
Rennenkampf discovers evidence of what might be a false flag attack in the making. Cavarra is tipped off about a secret hit list of “potential domestic terrorists,” through which he and his friends are targeted. Scarred Wolf has already lost his brother for the sin of poking his nose into government Black Ops; and now must decide whether a little more temporary tranquility for his family is worth the shock and awe to be wrought on the entire country if he fails to take action.
With harbingers of national cataclysm all around, there will be no averting disaster if the false flag conspiracy turns out to be true. These men, who have put their lives on the line for their country so many times already, now have little choice but to treat the threat as real. And in the tumultuous political climate, their lives, fortunes and sacred honor will all be at risk. Where they go one, they go all.
The bestselling Retreads Series turns the corner from military thriller to apocalyptic fiction. False Flag blazes a fiery trail where other political books fear to tread.

A thank you to the authors who made their books free for this sale!
And while I can't afford to buy _every_ book in the sale, for the last few sales, I've been stockpiling Amazon digital credits as I stockpile my prep supplies. Amazon credits you if you don't 'rush' the shipping, so you get the item ordered a day or three later but get $1+ in credit. If you order lots of individual items, this adds up very quickly. I'm happy to see a quarterly sale planned now, as that lines up nicely with the quarterly expiring credits...
So if you use Amazon wisely, you can subsidize your Based Books acquiring just by deferring your instant gratification, a very based economic approach.
SOOOO awesome like a fantasy scifi dream come true💖💖💖
