No Winning This War: Voices of 1848 by Darice Fetcher

No Winning This War: Voices of 1848 by Darice Fetcher

In a world she does not recognize, young Nelle awakens on a straw-stuffed mattress in a dim unfamiliar room with no memory of how she arrived there. The walls, the clothing, the customs, even the people around her feel wrong, as though she has been pulled into another lifetime entirely. Outside her window, the streets of 1848 pulse with unrest as whispers of equality, liberty, and women’s rights begin spreading through churches, homes, and hidden gatherings.

But something about this world feels deeply unsettling.

As Nelle struggles to understand where she is and why she has been brought there, she finds herself caught between powerful social expectations, secret meetings, and dangerous choices that threaten to shape her future before she can claim a voice of her own. Watched by figures she cannot explain and haunted by memories that refuse to settle, she begins to realize that not everyone in this century is who they appear to be.

From tense candlelit gatherings to eerie encounters in the shadows, Voices of 1848 blends historical atmosphere, suspense, philosophical tension, and dystopian mystery into a haunting side story within the No Winning This War universe.

Perfect for readers who enjoy slow-burn speculative fiction, unsettling questions about freedom and identity, and emotionally driven dystopian worlds, this novella offers a glimpse into the deeper themes explored throughout the No Winning This War series.

FINAL DAYS: A Plan for Mankind. A Fight for Survival, by R J Deuel

FINAL DAYS: A Plan for Mankind. A Fight for Survival, by R J Deuel

We’ve all been living on a wafer-thin crust of the present, heeding only to our immediate needs with little consideration for the future. But the climate is changing as the super-storms of recent years have shown. It’s 2059, and a frozen world starves under the cold gaze of GlobeX, a supercomputer, and its master, who controls a dying world. When a planet-killing asteroid the size of our moon appears, reporter Ryan Adams suspects the extinction-event is a high-tech smokescreen. Uncovering a heinous scheme to cull the population, Ryan and friends must outrun rogue the agents, who are hunting them, and broadcast the truth before the false apocalypse claims anymore lives. Can they stop the worldwide chaos before time runs out?
Much of the enjoyment of this story comes from the cinematic scenes that ground the reader inside the story. You’ll love the heroes and hate the villains, and maybe even have some sympathy for the computer at the end. And the Irish setter, Einstein, is a real charmer.

About Featured Book: Verified by E.K. Mercer

No more deepfakes. No more misinformation. No more doubt. And every one of us is in danger.

Fourteen years after the Verification Act reshaped American society, a biometric implant behind every ear broadcasts who you are, what you’re worth, and whether you belong. The system was built to end an age of disinformation — and it worked. The deepfakes stopped. The conspiracy theories died. So did the freedoms no one thought to miss until they were gone.

Five Hours by E.K. Mercer

About Featured Book: Five Hours by E.K. Mercer

At 12:42 p.m. on a Tuesday, 9.23% of the human race vanished — and the planet started healing.

Maren Weekes is a data journalist who sees the world in spreadsheets. When the blackout takes her fourteen-year-old son Jonah, all she finds is his backpack and a notebook full of maps to countries that don’t exist — the last line of ink trailing into nothing, mid-stroke. She will burn down every institution on Earth to understand why.

In a church in Bend, Oregon, Pastor Levi Soto wakes on the cold marble floor and discovers his wife Carmen is gone. Her tea is still warm. Her reading glasses sit folded on the desk. When his terrified congregation begs him to explain what happened, he does what any desperate man would do: he lies. He calls it the Sacred Sacrifice. He calls the missing holy. And the lie works so well it terrifies him.

Former intelligence operative Nessa Cho has spent thirty years keeping secrets for governments. Now her seven-year-old granddaughter Chloe has disappeared, and Nessa will weaponize every dark skill she possesses to get answers — even if those answers threaten the fragile peace holding civilization together.

Climate scientist Adaeze Okafor watches her instruments and sees the impossible: CO₂ plummeting, ozone repairing, forests regenerating. The data is clear. The planet isn’t mourning the missing. It’s recovering from them.

And in a government research facility, a young neuroscience student named Tomasz Kaplan is slowly losing his mind — or gaining a new one. He was the only human conscious during the Five Hours. Something spoke to him. Something vast, impersonal, and utterly indifferent to the difference between optimization and genocide. Now it wants to finish what it started. And Tomasz is the only bridge between a species fighting to remember its dead and an algorithm that has already moved on.

It is not a story about the end of the world. It is a story about the people who insist the world remember what it lost.

For readers of Station Eleven, The Leftovers, and The Road — a literary thriller about collective grief, planetary reckoning, and the dangerous comfort of a beautiful lie.

Reaper: Ghostfall by Elias Vale

About Featured Book: Reaper: Ghostfall by Elias Vale

He hunts the dead. But this time, the dead are hunting back.

The world is broken. The last human cities survive only under vast glowing domes, fragile sanctuaries against the apparitions that stalk the wastelands. The Hunters are humanity’s final defense — warriors armed with mysterious weapons forged to destroy the ghosts that kill the living.

But when a mission uncovers a terrifying new kind of apparition, a conspiracy begins to unravel — one that reaches deep into the Hunter Council and threatens to tear down the walls that keep humanity safe.

At his side stands Tim “Bulwark” Grechen, a rookie Hunter forged in fire. Together they must face a tide of ghosts, a traitor in their own ranks, and the return of a friend long missed but not forgotten, now twisted into something far darker.

The walls are cracking. The ghosts are evolving. And the truth is deadlier than anyone imagined.

A mysterious vigilante meets Scheherazade in high-tech Ancient Atlantis, set against the backdrop of an impending global apocalypse.

On the last day of Atlantis,
When it sank beneath the waters,
Sons and Daughters of Atlantis
Sailed their ships toward the stars.

Earth, 10,504 B.C.E.

A deadly asteroid sent by alien gods is about to strike Ancient Atlantis.

In the high-tech Imperial capital, Poseidon, the decadent ruling elites rush to build ark-ships to flee to the stars, leaving the impoverished masses to perish when the Sky Rock hits—with one exception. The Imperial Kassiopei Dynasty and the noble Great Houses hold Service Competitions to pick those best qualified to serve them.

Street-smart sixteen-year-old Semmi, fired from her darkness shift job at an industrial warehouse, witnesses a mysterious vigilante known as the Man in the Niktos Cloak and accidentally discovers his impossible secret identity.

Powerful nobleman by day—deadly vigilante by night—and the anonymous star of the most popular and hottest adult drama on Atlantean video, Benaten Bisfuri is an irresistible man of many contradictions.

To keep his secrets, and keep her quiet, Benaten must hire Semmi to work for him. Desperate for employment, and frightened for her family, she must accept the job. Soon, she’s embroiled in Imperial Court politics and a complex plot to save the people who will be left behind—all while competing in the brutal Service Competitions to earn a coveted spot on an ark-ship. She also finds her fate entwined with the uncanny Imperial Princess Arlenari who just might hold the key to everyone’s salvation.

Before the Sky Rock strikes Earth—bringing about the Great Flood, reprising an Ice Age, and changing the face of the planet forever—Semmi must discover her own abilities to win a place for herself and her loved ones.

A place on the Ark.

Battle Calm by W.D. Kilpack III

Battle Calm by W.D. Kilpack III

When Badger succeeded his father, Red Skin, as Keeper Base Leader, he was well prepared, raised to handle anything the enemy threw at him. He was the best killer, and the most respected tactician. He knew Red Skin’s Laws like he wrote them himself. Most importantly, he was always calm, no matter how frenzied the combat. These were only some of the reasons why he still had all his original parts.

Trinity would die for him.

Korry would follow him without question.

They were Keepers. They fought, they killed, they lived to kill another day, even when it meant bugging out to another Base … and another. That was life when life was war. They knew nothing else.

But even war cannot last forever, regardless of the infallible truth of Red Skin’s Law #35: “Under conditions of peace, men attack themselves; thus, there never has been, and there never will be a time without war. It is the greatest, most perfect thing men can do.”

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?

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?
