The Rise to Godhood Martin Lundqvist
Sensing that her death is drawing closer, The Supreme Deity of the Milky Way Galaxy decides to reincarnate into a human form to stop her demise.
In the 1000th iteration of the universe, the True Maker senses that her death is drawing closer. In her visions, the only one who can save her is a human who is yet to be born. To prevent her death, the True Maker creates Gaia and sends her on a mission; to join the Zetan species and create the Garden of Eden on Earth to prevent humanity from going extinct during the Mount Toba Ice Age.
On her quest to save humankind, Gaia meets the Zetans Kailow and Areela, who escaped persecution on planet Zetani. Together they set out to find the magical Zeto Crystals, containing fragments of the True Maker's soul. Yet, there are others who seek the crystals for their selfish desires, corrupting the crystals to dominate others.
Will Gaia be able to save humankind, or will the True Maker's interventions cause the very demise that she tried to avoid

Loki and the Frost Giant Charles N Palmer
Odin volunteers Loki to assist a mountain village plagued by creatures out of Jotunheim.
Not a challenging assignment until Loki realises that the cause of the trouble is the Frost Giant, Vetar.
And now Loki has a problem, because Vetar's father is Skrymir, Lord of Jotunheim. Loki has long had one foot in Asgard and the other in Jotunheim and has always avoided declaring allegiance.
Worse still, a stranger turns up, and he certainly isn't the lost traveller he claims to be.
Hela, Fenrir and Thor all appear in the story.

Salvage Rat—An excerpt Larry N. Martin
Star Force pilot and hero Wyatt McCoy left his medals and career behind after the Rim Wars, disillusioned and bitter when he learns the truths behind the conflict. He takes his converted gunship, the Nellie B, and heads to the Near Fringe, salvaging derelict ships and abandoned mining colonies. Dr. Beth Parker is a space archeologist, documenting the history of planetary expansion and colonization for Kalok Enterprises. A piece of alien technology embeds itself in Beth’s arm, giving her the ability to see the energy impressions of long ago people and events. When Beth uncovers proof of genocide that could bring down the big mining companies, she’s the target of assassins. Wyatt makes a split-second decision to intervene, launching them both into a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game.
Larry always gives you a great ride.
Salvage Rat (by Larry N. Martin) Blasts off as fast as the hero's gunship. From gunfights to intrigue. It's got all the ingredients for a Thriller with a hot splash of SciFi!
An intriguing premise - this sounds like a story with lots of opportunities for twists and turns!

A Fading Star Greg Hickey
Earth is dying. Ravaged by disease, hunger, climate change and world wars. Can humanity unite to avoid extinction?
In 2153, cancer was cured. In 2189, AIDS. It seemed like humanity was headed for the stars.
Global population soared, surpassing 24 billion. Then came the floods, washing over Bangkok, Buenos Aires, Mumbai, Jakarta, Dhaka and New Orleans. Then a fourth world war, with 289 million casualties. Frequent droughts plague Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Melbourne, Mexico City, São Paulo, Stockholm, Vienna and Moscow. Now humanity teeters on the brink of extinction.
A few individuals fight for our survival. A determined physicist. A brilliant oncologist. A team of daring astronauts. A small group of investors funds a desperate search for another habitable planet. But time is running out.

“It’s so hot, what is going on. Is it even humanly possible to sweat this much?”
Oh, but the temperature is just perfect
“Who is that? Wait, you can hear my thoughts? Where am I?”
As I open my eyes, I realize I’m not on my bed or even in my room where I should be after coming home late last night.
“Or did I not make it home? This is definitely not earth” I said to myself as I looked around and took a 360-degree view of what I can’t even describe. “Is this is supposed to be a house? Where am I?"
Beautiful isn’t it?

A supposedly true story, though details of narration remain undisclosed to us, the exotic information contained within every page of this text, if invented, is, we believe, a tour de force of the imagination, written to the highest, individualistic standards.
The spectacular inter-stellar craft Favola has 91-vicinities aboard. Launched from lunar orbit in the year 2457, it has been travelling since then for a thousand earth-years, its ten gravity-amplifiers distorting spacetime light-years ahead of it. There is an immortal android at the fabulous controls at most times, called Corda, who is benign in character, yet infinitely intelligent and capable. However, while monitoring the formation of a new planet, the craft is instantly sucked back to earth-orbit, many thousands of light-years away, where a female scientist named Zoe Halloway and her two children accidentally materialize on the awesome bridge while taking a Transdoor trip to the Moon to be with her brother, who's been employed

Together with his crew of loyal companions, he devises a plan to thwart the organisation’s very existence. But how can one man stand up to a 12,000-year old prophecy that predicts adversity for all mankind?
The answer is hidden deep in the Brazilian Amazonia with anthropologist Dr David Steel, who, together with the FUNAI Foundation, is on a mission to save the endangered tribes from persecution. It’s his research that appears to contain the key to the survival of the human race.

The Guardians - Threat Of Extinction Don Viecelli
The Guardians – Threat Of Extinction begins with a Lataran Guardianship leaving their home planet on a mission to investigate a report that one of their protector planets had been attacked by a new enemy alien race called the Tyrax who have invaded their star systems. First Commander Òmon is in charge of the Guardianship named Poltara. What Òmon finds on the mission is abhorrent to his species.
The Tyrax would not negotiate for peace. They seemed intent upon eliminating any race they discovered to take control of the planet for themselves. This act of extreme annihilation could not be tolerated and the Latarans were now at war with the Tyrax. Not only were the Tyrax determined to destroy the Lataran people, they used a new terraforming weapon on every world they attacked to make it suitable for their species.

While a war rages in space, a revolutionary group of humans, shapeshifters, and telepaths gather to prove their races can live together in peace. They believe in peace enough to erase their memories and begin a primitive city on a secluded planet, Vastus.
Generations later, conflicts on Vastus force people to flee their city. Meanwhile, a few Peace Bringers arrive on a broken-down space station to observe the inhabitants on Vastus. What they see is anything but encouraging, and they must deal with problems of their own. Vastus Station is falling apart, and the relationships between the occupants are equally precarious.

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...

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.

The Theory of Anything Greg Hickey
A brilliant professor. A shocking murder.
When Dr. David Solon walked out of the coffee shop on the afternoon of May 3, 2011, he didn’t expect to foil an attempted robbery in a nearby alley. He didn’t expect to recognize the would-be perpetrator of the crime. And he didn’t expect to shoot that man to death.
An hour earlier, he was sharing a breakthrough mathematical discovery with a colleague. A day earlier, he was unraveling a puzzle with implications for the events that shape our lives. And a week earlier, he was falling asleep beside his beloved wife of twenty-two years.
The Theory of Anything is an intellectual crime novel that takes readers back through the previous seven days to uncover the crime and subsequent events that will define David’s career and ruin his life.

Nanomachine War - Nanotech Terror Weapon Don Viecelli
The Qumru are a peaceful alien race. They are advanced spacefaring people who never interfere with other alien races and try to avoid hostile races such as the Yoyka. For the past two centuries the two races have left each other alone in peace. This changed suddenly when the Yoyka attacked Qum without warning with a new nanotech terror weapon.
The weapon was made of semi-intelligent nanomachines that are contagious upon contact. The nanomachines are designed to only attack a specific race based on their genome DNA. The nanomachines replicate inside the body, invade the mind and can be controlled over quantum transmission links (QTL). Once infected, the person becomes highly infectious and the nanomachines spread rapidly by touch or by breathing the air around them.
