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!
Anti Life
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!

Deliverance at Van Demon’s Deep
Deliverance at Van Demon’s Deep S. P. Stevens
How far does camaraderie stretch, when it’s life and death?
Demon’s Deep mine is out of action. The miners are missing, and psychotic savages—The Unbound—have taken it over. Unfortunately, where the Unbound go, bad magic follows. Magic which mutates living things, and liquefies rock.
Kiprik, long suffering leader of his elite snatch squad, must rescue the miners before army commanders run out of patience and start pumping poison gas. With his meat-headed corporal and loyal friend Stack at his side, he’ll face up to any threat, and stick an axe in its face, so long as the sneering Padre Brax doesn’t get in the way.
But this is a task which will see Kiprik and his crew going to the very bottom of the mine, where the deepest magic and the darkest truths lurk.

Flash Back [preview]
Flash Back [preview] Ellison Blackburn
In the not too distant future, a bioengineering breakthrough—touted the modern-day fountain of youth—will change the world, one life at a time.
Meet Charley; she has regrets. On the verge of depression, she longs for the road not taken. Now, finding Renovation, she might have a second chance to undo or instead redo some of her past mistakes.
Transforming from fifty-four to seventeen those long since buried dreams would be again within her grasp. The best part: behind the fresh face of youth, Charley would be the same; two things only life-regression and regeneration can promise.
Her decision could warp her current, well-established lifestyle, however, creating a chasm between herself and the ones she loves.

Her decision could warp her current, well-established lifestyle, however, creating a chasm between herself and the ones she loves.
Ellison Blackburn’s protagonist is eminently relatable, and the mess of issues Charley faces in trying to make peace between her desires and her responsibilities will be shockingly familiar to many readers. Set in the near future, the story explores cutting-edge theories in both prosthetics and biology, while the level of psychological detail brings a realistic edge to the narrative and the characters spring vividly to life. Flash Back is well-written, with an analytical, laser-focus on the workings of inter-personal connections. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought that there must be something better in life, then this book is definitely for you.

If There Be Giants [preview] Ellison Blackburn
Archaeologist Dr. Mallory Jacks has uncovered a strange creature amidst familiar surroundings. The discovery could change the world’s perspective of anthropology and science, as well as shake the religious faith of millions. However, the latter is beside the scientific point.
That the newly found artifacts do not fit logically into the historical timeline of life on the planet is a point of some contention. And…this could be just the cusp of the megalithic problem; who knows what other twists will arise as the project continues.
Then, Grey McKnight becomes enmeshed in the mystery. If Mallory didn’t care it wouldn’t matter, but she does, a little too much, in fact. With each passing day, the upheaval surrounding the findings threatens to shatter their lives into countless surreal pieces.

There are a lot of things I wish I’d known earlier—but three top my “wow, she was naïve” list.
First—there are others on Pendomus.
Second—a prophecy is in motion & I hold the key to the survival of literally everything.
Third—I'm being hunted by a madman who is desperately trying to wipe me from existence.
So yeah, no pressure.

A House Off The Road
A House Off The Road Orren Merton
When Staff Sergeant Ben Reuben's best friend, along with four other American solders, are kidnapped a few days after the D-Day invasion, Ben volunteers to rescue them. But this was no ordinary capture; the Nazis are waging an occult war, summoning an evil creature far more powerful than human soldiers or weaponry. Thankfully, Ben isn't alone on this mission; he is partnered with the mysterious, undead Ambrose, himself a powerful demon hunter. Ben and Ambrose must save the soldiers before the summoning is complete, and Hell breaks loose—literally.
Elvish
Elvish S.G. Prince
It's against the law for humans and elves to fall in love. But laws can be broken.
When Venick is caught wandering the elflands, he knows the penalty is death. Desperate, he lies about his identity in hopes the elves will spare his life.
Ellina doesn't trust the human, and not merely because he speaks the language of men. Men lie. In elvish, however, lying is impossible. In a moment of intuition, Ellina decides to give Venick a chance: learn elvish, reveal his truths, and she will set him free.
That is not, of course, what happens.
As Ellina and Venick come to know each other, their feelings start to shift. Then Venick uncovers a dark secret, and suddenly the fate of the elflands seems to rest in his hands. But will Venick risk his life to save an elf he's not allowed to love?

Angel of Death
Angel of Death Hermione Stark
My name is Diana Bellona and I am the angel of death.
Except I can’t be, because the angel of death couldn’t be a helpless human girl kept imprisoned by a cruel family for 6 years. The only certain thing is that my dreams of death always come true.
Now I have dreamt the murder of Xander Daxx, an angelus engaged to an English princess. His murder could spark war between humans and otherkind. I risk everything to escape, only to arrive at a castle with a royal engagement party in full swing where no one wants to believe me. Worse, I find myself falling for Xander’s long-time nemesis, the mysterious Constantine Storm with his dangerous past.
Is the angel of death even supposed to save people? But I must, because the closer I get to a killer, the closer the killer gets to me.
