Love stories about emerging AI!
For Alasdair Shaw's Independence, fasten your seatbelts...assuming they're still there and you can still scarf up enough of the remaining oxygen to power your muscles.
This is one great space series. I read all four of the books in a matter of one weekend. Hope more is to come...
I love a good space battle and this author did not disappoint. And so many twists and turns you almost need a road map to finish this engrossing read.

A lonely Creator. A universe built of crude fractal mathematics. Life, seething and surging, evolving towards something . . . greater.
Built on the Tielhard hypothesis, this new short story from Yudhanjaya Wijeratne explores the birth of a universe surprisingly like ours, but with a difference: this one is home to a God so vast It uses stars as information storage and black holes as compute nodes. All alone in the darkness, the Alpha and Omega nudges this new world, dissatisfied, in search of the one thing that might ease Its ultimate loneliness: civilization.

Larine's life is good. She loves her work as a wizard, her best friend is the Guildmaster, her troubled son is finally thriving, and she’s together at last with the man she's dreamed about for years.
Then one hot, sunny, late summer afternoon, a warning arrives. A giant storm is heading straight for Elathir, threatening everything Larine knows and loves. The Guildmaster has a plan to save the city, but it will require unimaginable sacrifice.
Larine and her fellow wizards face a terrible choice. Some will live and some will die. For unless enough wizards volunteer to spend their lives to turn aside the storm, thousands of people will perish beneath the wind and waves.

Freelancing Adair Hart
Freelancing in galactic space is hazardous to your health, unless you’re Blake Brown, a four-hundred-plus-year-old vampire exiled from Earth. After serving as an intelligence agent in the Fredorian Rangers for twenty years, he has his sights set on trying out the mercenary bounty system with his abductee brother, Seth Williams.
It’s one thing to find a bounty or contract they can attempt with so little to their name. Fulfilling it is another. Starting off small, they take a simple contract to retrieve a stolen ship. The problem is the thief is Alcarez, a mad cyborg with a small army.
Finding Alcarez will be an issue, but doing so with minimal equipment comes with its own set of concerns. Despite these challenges, Blake and Seth will show the freelancing community what Earthborn can do.

Great cover and an intriguing premise.
I'm delighted to include Patty Jansen's Ambassador 1: Seeing Red among my "select few." Deftly and swiftly, her beginning shifts into high, machine-gunning intriquing clues vis a vis later reveals. One knows just enough about what's going on to continue reading without scratching one's head, but not enough to make the whole book a fait accompli. Quick immersion in tight, realistic action promises a great read.
No matter what Patty Jansen writes, there is always that underlying personality that makes her books interesting AND there are her sometimes wildly imaginative worlds that forgo the bounds of what we all know and expect. They give us something entertaining and surprising. And she is Australian. If that comment doesn't make sense then you will have to just read her stories to see what I mean. It is meant in a good way.
Incredible work by an author I truly admire!
Very intriguing! This is promising to be very interesting series... Keep it coming, Patty!

In a Manner of Speaking Charity Tahmaseb
What if time doesn't run out?
Soshi Patel believes herself the last inhabitant on earth, trapped in an abandoned prepper's shelter, living by candlelight and on canned peaches. Out of desperation, she uses the last of her good candles to build a ham radio from a kit. When she connects with a voice on the other side, it's more than she could've hoped for.
But this voice, this Jatar, knows things he shouldn't. As he comforts Soshi through the last days on a dying earth, it becomes clear that he carries his own burden, the weight of which can only be measured in time.

The Child Wound in Gold Megan O'Russell
A little knock taps on the door,
A little girl hiding under the floor,
The safety of the dirt shall build her bed,
While the monster rammoc flies overhead.
For years, the rammocs have tormented the valley, stealing villagers from their homes, destroying crops and cattle so those left behind face the constant threat of starvation.
The only hope the villagers have is the magicians of the convocation. They alone have the power to stop the rammocs. But the magicians demand a price the villagers are unable to pay. Left with nothing but rubble and death, one young girl finds hope in the flames.

Corrupting Xenia Applebottom Logan Fox
Dante's just signed a pact with the devil. If he wants to live longer than the 3 months his doctor has given him (you know, cancer), then he has to corrupt 13 innocent souls (read: virgins). It sounds easy enough - he's a good-looking guy and there's a large settlement coming his way from his class-action lawsuit. Except... nothing is as it seems - not the deal, not the lawsuit, not the damn virgins.
How much money will it take to keep quiet when what you see and know is wrong? L.D. Fox writes an interesting tale of three women who make personal compromises in order to live. - Olivia Gaines
A richly textured, walk on the wild side that engages the reader from the beginning to the end.

Robert Grayson was becoming invisible. There was no doubt about it. And it made sense if you took a second to think about it. Robert was an average guy with an average job in an average American suburb. Invisibility was bound to happen. So the question wasn't why was he becoming invisible, it was were there other invisible people out there, too?

After the harrowing events at Philippa temporarily leave Masozi out of action, and with a war looming between President Blanco's forces and the liberty-loving interests arrayed against him, it's up to Jericho to save Eve from a truly epic crash and burn that would leave them without their most capable operator when they will need her most.
Along the way Jericho learns more about Eve's true nature, confronts Union agents bent on securing weapons of mass destruction for Blanco's future use, and deals death to agents working for those who would suppress the freedom of Virgin's people.

I can’t let these circumstances spoil my life, so I head out to the state forest for a hike. Things don’t go as planned, though, when I meet two chiseled specimens at a rest stop. They start acting shifty when I hear a woman scream for help, and the next thing I know, I’m waking up in a cage on some alien planet.
The aliens charge each other on huge, shaggy beasts and beat each other with clubs, and I’m the tournament prize. What’s going to happen to me? I expect the worst when they drag me off to the winner’s castle, but I can’t believe my ears when he suggests his brother share the spoils.

With talking hedges, samurai ghosts, meddling psychotherapists, and an inexplicably non-linear time pattern conspiring against him, Barry must do battle to save his hide, unleash the ninja within, and rescue his father from an ancient army, a dark sorcerer and a raging inferno.

Don't be fooled by the beautiful cover, this is a story about an over-the-hill hedge-trimmin' ninja with a heavy metal listening grandma. The characterizations are well-done and the book is an engaging, light read.
Overweight fish finger addicted ninja gardeners? Samurai ghosts? What's not to love! If you're a keen Robert Rankin fan, I'd recommend giving this book a read.

Greener on the Other Side Sarina Dorie
Despite what the wicked witch claims, Prince Charming knows he is meant to be a human prince, not a frog. Only if he can outsmart a vicious cat and get help from a flighty princess and those pesky children who would rather eat the witch’s gingerbread house rather than help him, will be able to use the witch’s spell book to turn himself into the hero he knows he is meant to me.
Sarina Dorie's The Memory Thief is perhaps not all that probable, but a fun romp through an off-world steampunk romance with fascinatingly elaborate plotting.
love your cover!
You can't beat a good witch story, and as a fan of them, this one rocks, and should be an essential part of your reading collection. Grab it today!
Just think if that was possible? This story has so much exciting potential when it comes to 'what-if' scenarios. Add the sci-fi element to a thrilling romance, I believe this book has every ingredient needed for a great book.
All the best.
I downloaded this book as something to read over my lunch break and completely fell in love! I found the characers so wonderful and believable. The world-building is just amazing! I definitely will be looking up the rest of the Womby's School for Wayward Witches books!

Niel Bushnell's Arkship Obsidian is, plain and simple, THE mother of all start-out-in-the-burning-building tales. It's the kind of read that's so immediately engrossing that the reader risks failing to notice if a stampede of T-rexes is approaching in real life. The reader is TOLD nothing, but EXPERIENCES everything. Truly magnificent writing!
Love the concept of this powerful storyline!

Digi City: A Story from the In-between Jarrett Rush
Jensen Miller has a new daughter, a beautiful wife and a relatively stable life in unstable New Eden. The fallen government and increasing number of data addicts have the city crumbling. When a group of terrorists sets off a series of explosions at the docks, the population comes together to rebuild. But a rising power, Roma Corp, uses the distraction as an opportunity to strengthen its ever-tightening grip on society.
Relying on Miller, the company's top security agent, Roma starts hunting down those it fears may be working against the company. For Miller, that hunt starts in Digi City, the place most of New Eden's data addicts go to get their fix.
What Miller finds there will change how he sees Roma, these data addicts, and even himself.

The Loveliest Abyss in the Universe Andrew Crusoe
The Portal is unnatural. It begs you to gaze within. But when you do, you will never be the same.
When the Order of Nirangi opens a portal into a hellish realm, they tempt far more than fate. Hidden deep underground, a ringed machine tears into the fabric of spacetime itself, showing the scientists a glimpse into a realm covered in roiling lava lakes and volcanos, leaving them petrified. Only Madam Viragat, the project overseer, is unconcerned, clearly bent on using their recording of the glimpse to scare the people into submission. Despite incomplete data, she insists that the hellish realm they saw was the spiritual abyss, the fate of the unsanctified after death.
Only Sujan, a brilliant young scientist, is willing to investigate, making a discovery that rocks his world to its core…
