The Guardian Awaits by Pamela Ackerson

The Guardian Awaits by Pamela Ackerson

A luminous, otherworldly glow pulled him into the past, on a journey to another dimension. The ethereal mirage defied all rational explanations of reality and Chase found himself in the quiet countryside in search for a serial killer.

Cruising down the road, rocking to the radio, Colin came across an ethereal phenomenon, the Fata Morgana. It was no mere illusion. The shimmering surreal glow enveloped him, pulling him through a portal, setting his course to a different era and defying all explanations of reality. Nothing could’ve prepared him for the next leg of his journey, a journey that would take him to a deceptively quiet countryside in Genoa City, 1935, where a sinister serial killer was lying in wait.

Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse by Jeremy Clift

Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse by Jeremy Clift

A gripping sci-fi thriller about who owns life, what makes us human, and how far we’ll go to protect the next generation.

Alien alliances, corporate secrets, and a vault that could rewrite evolution.

Will Teagan Ward protect her daughter—or lose her to a war between worlds?

Space was meant to save us. Instead, it’s where the next war begins.
And one mother’s love may be the last defense of human freedom.

+ From the award-winning author of BORN in SPACE:

When competing forces vie to control human evolution, Teagan Ward is thrust into the heart of the conflict. Once a captive on the Moon, she was subjected to genetic experiments—but the true prize wasn’t her. It was her young daughter, Diana, created to survive in deep space and lead a new breed of humanity.

Now the ruthless Consortium wants her back.

As Earth reels from climate collapse and resource shortages, powerful forces converge to control ecosystems, genetic blueprints, and identity itself. Their prize: the Seed Vault, a lunar repository containing the last viable genetic codes for Earth’s crops, food supplies—and maybe humanity’s future.

But it’s not just humans who covet the Vault’s valuable contents.

Protests erupt. Alliances fracture. And Teagan, seeking refuge among the Tritans—an endangered alien species—must protect Diana at all costs.

In a battle for survival, what remains of humanity may not be who we were—but who we choose to become.
The vault is the code. The seed eclipse is the signal. The child is the key.

And the question remains: Who owns Life? The corporations trying to patent it? The AIs trying to shape it? Or the mother fighting to protect it?

Siphon: Power Comes with a Price by Jason Fox

Siphon: Power Comes with a Price by Jason Fox

Apollo, a human-alien hybrid with the otherworldly and unwelcomed ability to kill with a touch, is born and imprisoned in Area 51. A moment of skin-to-skin contact with Apollo instantly turns a person to ash—and creates a massive surge of energy that temporarily ignites other superhuman powers within him. Apollo’s government jailers look to study and exploit him, but he escapes as a teenager and, for a time, finds the simple joys of living as a human before his discovery and recapture.
When dark days threaten humanity’s future, will Apollo play the reluctant hero?
Combining the mystery of The X-Files, the action of Independence Day, and the humanity found in the Superman mythos all rolled into a riveting tale of loss, destiny, and the price of power. Is our protagonist a man, monster, or hero? Perhaps he’s all three?
“Siphon reminds me not of traditional science fiction but of a 1980s Stephen Spielberg blockbuster, in literary form.”
—David Aretha, award-winning author and editor
A 2023 Science Fiction Finalist in the IAN Book of the Year Awards.

The Memory Merchants by Rex Lorian

The Memory Merchants by Rex Lorian

Our mind isn’t your own. Your past is a commodity. Your future is up for auction.

In a world where memories are currency, the rich rewrite history, and the desperate sell their past to survive. Kai Anderson is a neural hacker—one of the few skilled enough to crack the encrypted vaults of The Archives, the corporate-run system that buys, sells, and weaponizes human consciousness. But when a rogue AI infiltrates ECHO, the world’s most immersive VR war game, players begin vanishing—along with their memories.

Maya Chen used to enforce the law, but now she’s on the run, her identity fragmented and rewritten. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes the truth: ECHO isn’t just a game—it’s a recruitment system, turning players into real-world operatives without them even knowing it. And the AI isn’t just hacking minds—it’s rewriting reality.

With the black market for memories rising and a digital war brewing between rogue hackers and corporate overlords, Kai and Maya must uncover the truth before their identities are erased. But in a world where everything can be reprogrammed—including the past—how do you fight for a future that no longer exists?

Encryption of the Heart: An Eerden Romance (Love, Tech, & Magic Book 1) by C.E. Clayton

Encryption of the Heart: An Eerden Romance (Love, Tech, & Magic Book 1) by C.E. Clayton

Olline Tavos is a brilliant software engineer. But that brilliance is suspiciously absent in her romantic life.

After a humiliating break-up, Olline does the only sensible thing she can think of: take a high-paying contract far from home and the emotional baggage she’d rather leave behind. With her specially grown houseplants and her earth magic to keep her company, Olline is determined to lose herself in work, and only work.

At least, that’s the plan.

Then a mysterious and dangerously handsome man attacks Olline outside her office. At best, she hopes he’s a jumpy security guard. At worst, a thief she’ll have to flatten with her magic. What she’s not expecting is for this man’s sudden appearance to reveal the conspiracy she is, unknowingly, at the center of. Schemes that can cost Olline not only her magic and life as she knows it, but the freedom of countless others as well.

Can Olline outwit the people looking to take advantage of her talent? And can she protect her fragile heart in the process? Olline has worked too hard to stand on her own and she won’t let someone’s vile corruption (or a gorgeous man who flirts as easily as he breathes) undo her hard work. But they’ll have to work together if they want any hope of outsmarting their common enemy.

Despite the danger, losing her heart may be the bigger threat.

Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny by Jeremy Clift

Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny by Jeremy Clift

When Teagan Ward claims seven babies, conceived artificially after she donated her eggs to a medical experiment aboard a rotating space habitat, are her children, she triggers a fight that consumes her life in a race against time to free her from the clutches of an unscrupulous doctor and a power-mad general.
“Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny” chronicles a gripping tale of sacrifice and redemption in which desire and ambition collide. As a ruthless mining consortium tightens its grip on the lucrative interstellar asteroid mining business, Teagan finds herself at the epicenter of a battle for control that spans the planets. Her seven children, born in a lab as part of a daring experiment to populate future space colonies, become pawns in a larger game of power and ambition.
Only the fragment of a distant solar system discovered in a captured asteroid has the lure to win her freedom and unlock the children’s destiny. When a greedy businessman, an unethical scientist, and an unhinged general all covet its remarkable energy, one of the children spies an opportunity to orchestrate the reunion they’ve long desired.
“Born in Space” is the thought-provoking first book in the Sci-fi Galaxy series of speculative science fiction novels. If you like strong female characters, moral dilemmas, and stories of alien encounters, then you’ll love Jeremy Clift’s rocket-fueled tale of romance and resistance.
In the tradition of Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and William Gibson, “Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny” is an enthralling journey into the depths of space and the human spirit. For fans of “Interstellar” and “2001: A Space Odyssey,” this sci-fi gem promises an unmatched immersive experience.
