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...

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.

In Only The Dead Don't Die, A.D. Popovich manages to combine cozy characterization with horror, like Hitchcock used to do, in addition to peppering her writing with dry humor and imaginative similes. A comfortable read for a story that develops organically and includes characters of all ages.
This was a fantastic read! One of those that stay with you for a while...and then a little bit longer. A must-read for lovers of the apocalypse!
Bone chilling cover, great idea for a story!
Great cover and setup! So excited to dive into this world.
A suspenseful story with an interesting main character. There are plenty of horror and thrills. Definitely worth the read!
Digi City: A Story from the In-between
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.

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!

The Harbinger
The Harbinger J.D. Matheny
It will take the end of life to discover its beginning.
Billions are dying mysterious deaths. Their faces freeze in waxy smiles of exaltation. Those left behind call them the Raptured. There’s a kernel of truth in that belief, but beyond that kernel lies a deep, dark secret.
On the West coast, a wise man naming himself Ira lures survivors to a place called Sanctuary. For those who gather there, it does seem like sanctuary, for a time.
One man doesn’t seek sanctuary. Dean’s search for his family takes him down a long road of the violent and the dead, hoping his family isn’t among them.
In the end all hope may rest on the shoulders of Evie, a teenage girl who is wanted by both the righteous and the wicked.
Evie’s part in the puzzle may reveal the origins of mankind – or spell its end.

Entangled Earth
Entangled Earth David Lea
Physics isn’t easy. Rule number one should always be ‘Don’t Destroy The World’. Sometimes science doesn’t follow the rules.
An experiment gone wrong means the Earth only has days left before it is torn apart by an invisible parallel world. Everyday activities become waves of destruction as the influence of the parallel world devastates the planet. Unstoppable, invisible cars plough through buildings, flocks of unseen birds tear people apart. When death is round every corner, what hope does anyone have?
Entangled Earth - The Experiment is an excerpt from Entangled Earth.
