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.

On this version of Earth, the dinosaurs didn’t go extinct and the world is ruled by a spacefaring civilization of dinobirds. If Jake wants to return home, he’ll need to not only survive but locate the rulers of Earth so they can send him back.
Worse, Corby learns that a universe collision is imminent. Unless he can adapt to his new reality and work with the dinobirds to ward off that danger, his universe, as well as countless others, will cease to exist.

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.
The Disappeared (Short Story)
The Disappeared (Short Story) Irving Belateche
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?
"Like the great Ray Bradbury, Belateche invents a world much like yours and mine but with that one twist that makes it different." -- A. Silver

Night of Flames (Prequel to Space Colony One) J.J. Green
A new world colony…
A moonless night…
An alien attack…
Ever wondered what it would be like to live on a starship? It was the only life Ethan knew.
When the colony starship Nova Fortuna reaches the end of its 184-year journey, most of its passengers have grown up aboard ship. They have no idea what it's like to feel the wind on their faces or get wet in the rain.
On the first night of the new colony, Ethan is one of the lucky few who is sleeping planetside. Most of the others are Gens like Ethan, born and bred on the starship. A few are Woken, who were revived from cryonic suspension two years prior to Arrival.
The colonists settle down to sleep, but Ethan is restless. A strange noise disturbs him, and so begins the fight for his life, the lives of the settlers, and the colony itself

This is a funny book that is easy to read and has a brilliantly dysfunctional central character that I could really relate to.

On Silver Wings by Evan Currie Discover Sci-Fi
When the Colony on Hayden's world went black, a team was sent to investigate.
It was supposed to be a training mission : skip in, find out the Casimir Transmitter had gone dead, report back and wait for resupply from the Fleet. By the time the only surviving member of the team made landfall, it was spectacularly clear that this wasn't a training mission.
Now Sgt Sorilla Aida has a job to do. She has to gather the local survivors, recon the enemy, train a militia, and take the war right to the enemy's doorstep.
Just what she trained for.

I'm a big fan of Jay Allan's work and love his style. Lots of great action, he's a writer who is right in my wheelhouse.
This is one of Jay Allan's best MSF Series you will ever read. I gave this Book 4 Stars on Goodreads and the story gets even better in Books 2 and 3. Check out my Review on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1549693826
Read this book awhile back and it's still as good as ever with plenty of action and adventure to be had.
Lindsay Buroker's Fallen Empire Collection has caught my interest. I'm sure others will enjoy it too!
The Worst Man on Mars
The Worst Man on Mars Mark Roman
It’s 2029 – Britain's first crewed mission to Mars – and things aren’t looking good.
In command is Flint Dugdale, blunt Yorkshireman and reality TV show winner, who has used his large frame and ‘persuasive personality’ to take charge. Little does he know that the base – built by an advance party of incompetent robots – is not quite finished and has no food, water or doors. Worse, the ship’s scanners are picking up signs of life from the surface. What kind of life is it, and will it be pleased to see him? [This preview contains the first 5 chapters of The Worst Man on Mars]

Great cover! I look forward to reading these sci-fi "shorts".
I've read Mark's 'The Ultimate Inferior Beings', which I most remember for its brilliantly 'Heath Robinson' technologies - wonderfully over-complicated mechanisms that (in view of Mr Roman's scientific background) one suspects might actually work. And I read, too, The Worst Man on Mars, which is another incarnation of British humour at its lunatic best. Messrs Roman and Duke clearly work together very well - though, as I've said before, if they'd ever been at school together, I suspect they'd have been considered a disruptive influence on the class.
He's in my all-time top five funny sci-fi authors. Ok, let's be honest, if we exclude the 'Douglas', he's my number one.
I love humorous science fiction--especially British! I can't wait to read this one.
Can't wait to read this!
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!

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.
Smart fantasy featuring smart women! An intellectual Indiana Jones with a female protagonist.

Schrödinger has said "The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one.".
Heisenberg has said "What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning".
The Kena Upanishad says "That which the mind cannot think, but that which is the mind, know that to be the ultimate truth and not that which you have imagined".
The Isha Upanishad has said "Intentions persisted cause actions, Actions persisted cause intentions. Always, this is the cause of the become and becoming".
Is reality and truth the same? What if we can look beyond this reality and start to seek the truth? What will we find? Is this mind and senses enough to know it?

When Jeremiah arrived at Megiddo Station, all he wanted was to make some trades and resupply his starship. He never thought he'd come away with a wife.
Before he knows it, he's back on his ship, alone with his accidental bride. Since neither of them speak the same language, he has no way to tell her that there's been a terrible mistake. And because of the deadly famine ravaging her home, there's no going back. She's entirely at his mercy, and that terrifies him more than anything.
Jeremiah isn't ready to take responsibility for anyone. He's a star wanderer, roaming the Outworld frontier in search of his fortune. Someday he'll settle down, but for now, he just wants to drop the girl off at the next port and move on.
As he soon finds out though, she has other plans.

The Hooman Probe by C. C. Brower Midwest Journal Press
When Sue crash-lands back on Earth, she didn't know what to expect. What she found was a telepathic wolf pack, capable of reasoning and the dominant life form on the planet. They were in a fight for survival with the feral species of wolves, as well as the remnants of humankind.
In the first part of this, Sue learns to communicate and to travel with the pack as they fight and escape from the hunting ferals. In doing so, she fights alongside Tig, the hunting pack leader, to save both their lives.
What she wanted was to get back to the moon base to rescue her family. She didn't know how bad the collapse was.
But before she can get anywhere, she has to prove to the sentient wolf pack that she can be trusted. This means a "probe." Something no human has survived.

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!

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.

Clones, made to be stronger, faster and loyal to the cause.
But before they can join the war they must pass the phases, a barrage of testing zones designed to push them to the max.

But what kind of a world would be waiting for them?

Looking back, maybe taking a jaunt off-limits on Space Station Hawking wasn’t the best idea – but no one could have foreseen the outcome.

Gerard is a would-be scientist, not a soldier, but his father is nowhere near fit for the open-ended rescue mission into the Parallel, a hyperrealistic VR world that was stolen for government applications from genius game developer Ned Dixon. As a fan of Dixon's immersive and often twisted worlds, Gerard thinks he knows what he's getting himself into by taking his father's place, but within the Parallel awaits an infinite number of sinister surprises.

An intriguing work that bends the rules and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The book leaves you with barely any room to breathe and leaves you hungry for more. Luckily book two has already been released to satiate voracious readers such as myself.

Can't wait to read more from this author! I'll be checking this out!
Cover is sick! Great premise.

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.

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.
Smart fantasy featuring smart women! An intellectual Indiana Jones with a female protagonist.

To be powerless…
I've always wondered what it would be like to step outside of the walls of Lytonia. They were meant to protect us from the dangers of the Wild Lands, but if anything, we were all being imprisoned. Especially, within the heavily guarded walls of Monroe Academy, a school meant to teach us how to develop and improve our powers through severe methods using torture.
Pain is something that I suffer from almost every day, but in the Lighter Nation, I can't show any signs of weakness. Especially, not in my condition. I'm surrounded by others with special abilities, none of which I have developed, and as a penalty for my lack of power, I've been branded a Null, a nothing, and at the time, the only one of my kind.
