The Gates of Hell
The Gates of Hell Jay Allan
Elias Holm is the Commandant of the Marine Corps, a hero who has fought a hundred battles all across human-occupied space. He's led massive armies in the greatest battles ever fought in space. But once he was only a captain, thrust into command when a crucial operation went horribly awry.
The Second Frontier War had raged for a decade. Throughout human-occupied space, worlds were in ruins, the battlegrounds of the Superpowers' eternal struggle. The climactic battle would be fought on the planet Persis, and Holm would have to fight not only the Caliphate's elite Janissary soldiers, but treachery and betrayal from his own government.
The Gates of Hell is not a full length novel - it is a prequel novella set in the Crimson Worlds universe.

Last Night Of The Collective
Last Night Of The Collective Wesley Britton
For countless millennia, Beta-Earth was cursed with the Plague-With-No-Name, the genetic disease that killed three out of every four male infants their first year.
Now, the cure has been found. It was in the combined DNA of Malcolm Renbourn of Alpha-Earth and his wife, Sesperia Thorwaif Renbourn, the mutant with the genetically-enhanced DNA that gave her astonishing mental and physical abilities.
Then, the cure was stolen. Agents from the amoral and power-hungry royal house of Hitalec raided the island headquarters of the Collective and removed the only copy of the precious files.
How can Sasperia and the head of the Collective recover the cure without having to negotiate with the corrupt royals?

Anti Life Allen Kuzara
The opposite of life isn't death; it's something far worse.
In an anarcho-capitalist future, space-based corporate settlements have replaced the State. Colonel John Alvarez, a fifteen-year veteran, is unwilling to waste more years leading missions into deep space. He wants to start over and make a new life with his wife and son.
But when a distress message from a distant research probe is received, Novos Corp reactivates Alvarez's contract. He must carry out one last mission, a rescue attempt. Unknown to Alvarez, however, is the hidden threat that awaits him, one that—if he cannot stop it—will doom humanity to a fate worse than death.

I picked this up to write a blurb then couldn't put it down! Really good SF about a future where Statists and Corporations are at war. It has a detailed and interesting outer space setting, an original take on warp speed and likeable characters. Great stuff.
Cool title, cool cover!
A terrifying sci-fi tromp through an uncomfortably possible reality.
Great descriptions and an unexpected ending.
Sounds so good! Can’t wait to read this one!
I love this theme!!! What could be better than a space-based anarcho-capitalist future! Giddy up!

Poor Man's Travel
Poor Man's Travel Patty Jansen
Jas Grimshaw works as a mining pilot for the ice harvesting operations at New Jakarta Space Station. In his free time, he's a mindbase traveller. His mind travels on a bullet probe to other parts of settled space to swap bodies while other people occupy his.
Normally, it's a great way of seeing the galaxy, but one of his swaps is about to go very, very bad. The swap mind, a brilliant scientist, has no intention to return to his body, which he's left in a tight spot. And Jas, laid back, poorly-educated, is not the best person to cope with the tense situation.

And Jas, laid back, poorly-educated, is not the best person to cope with the tense situation.
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!

Nothing like a thriller when the plan falls apart and the heroes have to wing it! Makes it all the harder for the reader to guess what is going to happen...
Fast and enjoyable.
beautiful cover :)
I felt like I was on Mars, the real Mars, and felt the desperation that isolated settlers will experience. Great read
Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.

After the war with the Foreworlders, Backworlders scatter across the remaining planets. Competition is fierce, and pickings are scant.

Fractured
Fractured Keith Robinson
The world of Apparatum is divided. To the west lies the high-tech city of Apparati, governed by a corrupt mayor and his brutal military general. To the east, spread around the mountains and forests, the seven enclaves of Apparata are ruled by an overbearing sovereign and his evil chancellor. Between them lies the Ruins, or the Broken Lands – all that's left of a sprawling civilization before it fractured.
Hundreds of years have passed, and neither world knows the other exists.
Laws are harsh. Two young fugitives – Kyle from the city and Logan from the enclaves – escape their homes and set out into the wastelands to forge a new life. But their destinies are intertwined, for the separate worlds of Apparati and Apparata are two faces of the same coin...

Glory on Mars Colonization Book 1
Glory on Mars Colonization Book 1 Kate Rauner
Something is terribly wrong on Mars. A strange illness threatens the first pioneers and tragic deaths may be no accident. With no way back to Earth, Emma and her friends struggle to survive on the deadly Red Planet.
Emma has doubts before leaving Earth, but her team is ready to launch and she can't back out. If the settlers already on Mars sound oddly hostile, perhaps that's from the shock of the colony's psychologist walking out an airlock to her death.
Experts on Earth have no answers for the threats they face. No more missions will be sent if the settlers fail to secure a foothold. Emma may have joined the last humans on Mars.
This is a long, 13 chapter preview. If you have trouble getting the digital file you want from Instafreebie, please contact me directly at katerauner@gmail.com

They said I would never finish flight school. Never rank at the top of my class. Never fly with the top aces. Never return from combat against the Kelton androids. Never survive emergency surgery.
Here I am.
The year is 2151, Earth is gone. A hell scape. I’ve been awoken after 72 years of cryosleep on a medical facility on Saturn’s moon, Titan. I have nothing, no home, no friends, no concept of this new world, these Titans.
All that remains is the old conflict that has blackened my veins and memories of the ones I loved still fresh in my heart. Forgotten for decades.
But it seems war hasn’t forgotten me, no, even in my slumber. My name is Captain Victoria Ann Belic, I was a wife and an ace fighter pilot, and have been revived for one reason—to die again.
