Damaged Beyond All Recognition by Alan Felyk

About Damaged Beyond All Recognition by Alan Felyk

In the humorous tradition of Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams, Alan Felyk tells the tale of a love triangle that has been recruited by Fate to preserve eternity. Something is wrong with humanity’s DNA, meaning no candidates will be qualified to replace God when the Universe reboots. And, to complicate matters, overgrown mosquitos from another galaxy have designs on becoming the chosen ones.

The novel blurs the difference between probability and possibility. Unlikely events in the late 1960s propel Paul Tomenko to riches and fame before his sophomore year in college. And the cherry on top is Maggie Mae Monahan, a beautiful, highly intelligent blonde who becomes his girlfriend.

However, the Universe demands payback for his good fortune just months before graduation. Maggie Mae is swept away to head a top-secret job for the Pentagon, which views Paul as a subversive counterculture icon. Then he is killed in an automobile accident and ushered into the Afterlife by a gatekeeper that resembles Cher, the singer-actress. And what would be the odds that he would become the first human EVER to physically collide with God?

Even the Creator is skeptical of coincidences in a Universe full of them.

Paul soon finds himself splitting time on Earth and in God’s library, which is located somewhere off the GPS grid. And while Maggie Mae is saving the Earth through her top-secret project, Paul’s task is a little more daunting. He is told to repair whatever is wrong in the Afterlife so that Cher can butt-slap the soul of every living organism that’s ever existed into higher planes of existence.

It’s a schedule that will demand short Chef Boy-ar-dee lunches.

Paul could use the expertise of his missing love, but his imagination provides the next best thing: Katharine Ross the Librarian, a figment modeled after the actress for whom he lusts. She knows where all the information is stored if Paul can only tell her what he needs. Meanwhile, when he’s back on Earth, he must contend with Allie Briarsworth, a stunning redhead who was hired to be Paul’s assistant. And while he professes steadfast love for Maggie Mae, he soon realizes that he loves Allie as well.

But the clock is ticking, and life on Earth is about to take a licking. After Paul discovers that the Cassamarians, the mosquito men from the Andromeda Galaxy, have sabotaged humanity’s DNA, he is told the end is nigh. God’s subcontractors–Space, Time, Energy, and Matter–have to clean up the Solar System’s version of Aisle Three and prevent the proliferation of additional souls.

Despite the help of Maggie Mae, Allie, two superintelligent six-year-old neo-Neanderthal children, a Japanese-American bioengineer who believes he can’t die, and the head of a genetics laboratory who knows how to manipulate the government, Paul eventually realizes he will have to pull something out of his ass … literally.

Time Is Irreverent by Marty Essen

About Time Is Irreverent by Marty Essen

An irreverent, twisty, time travel comedy!

What if you could make a change to history that would eliminate the Spanish Inquisition, American slavery, World War II, global warming, and an egomaniacal US president who thought he was smart enough to drop nuclear bombs here and there without negative consequences? What if that change also made the United States and 5 billion people poof from existence? Would you do it?

When alien time travel specialists, the Krichards, learn of President Handley’s game of dodge the mushroom cloud, they race to Earth to investigate. For them, the question of whether it’s worth it to change history is easy to answer, but they will only proceed if the human they deem best qualified to represent Earth agrees to make the change. Erasing Handley’s nuclear annihilation would require a quick jump to AD 31 to make a simple correction to the past. If the Krichards had selected a brilliant scientist or an elite athlete for the task, Earth might be in good hands. Instead they selected Marty Mann, a mildly successful travel writer, whose only superpower is not taking life too seriously. What could possibly go wrong?

Spanning from the Cretaceous period to 2056, Time is Irreverent is a hilarious, thought-provoking satire, with unpredictable twists, colorful aliens, huge dinosaurs, a smokin’ hot lesbian from the future, and a cameo from Jesus Christ himself!

The Veil: Testament I and II by Joseph D’Lacey

About The Veil: Testament I and II by Joseph D’Lacey

Some call it The Long Silence, others The Hush. Whatever it is, the world has gone quiet. No electricity, no engines, most of the people gone. There are survivors, small groups enduring as best they can in a seemingly abandoned world.
At night, the landscape glows with unnatural light. The stillness is broken by the desolate cries of the lost population, returning now to search for…no one knows what. What is certain, though, is that those they drag into the shadows do not return.
The Veil contains the final testaments of two disparate groups; a band of survivalists barricaded into a single block of an American city, and a young family hiding in a remote part of the English countryside.
But there are enemies among the survivors too, using the cataclysm to serve their own desires. If the end of the world can’t cleanse the human heart, what reason can there be to continue?

The Sigian Bracelet by George Tome

About The Sigian Bracelet by George Tome

FREE Kindle PROMOTION! Between 12/22/2017 and 12/25/2017 the eBook is FREE on Amazon!

On a beautiful summer morning some 1,250 years before the start of our story, the fleet of an advanced civilization arrived on the Antyran home planet. It wasn’t a pleasant encounter – at least not for the Antyrans, because the aliens burned their ice cities to the ground and locked the whole star system inside a space distortion that held them captive ever since, hiding the stars.
After such an awesome display of destruction, they went back to where they came, but not before investing an Antyran, called Baila I, as the ruler of the world.
Despite the constant barriers imposed by the long string of Bailas, and the ever-hotter wall of fire created by the light of the star trapped in the distortion field—which reminded them of their pledge of obedience to the sky masters—the Antyrans progressed. After they developed their first fusion engines, they built colonies on the other two planets inside the distortion.
And then, on another beautiful day, the discovery of a few fragments from an ancient spaceship buried in a ravine on one of the recently colonized worlds will open up the chest of madness.

Gillabrian, or Gill, as friends use to call him, is an Antyran archaeologist. After stumbling upon the terrible secrets of the alien visitors, he finds himself in the unenviable position of being hunted on all the Antyran worlds, and not only there.
The path laid before Gill forces him to change, to discover that he has the strength to overcome his fears and make the right choices even against overwhelming odds. But beyond that, he is compelled to explore the meaning of being alive, to glimpse the fine line between life and death, and find how technology would eventually blur their boundary.
Being thrown in the river of madness, he will reach the point where any choice is a bad choice, when defeating a foe could open the path for an even greater evil, when the light at the end of the tunnel is the hideous grin of a technological singularity bent on assimilating everything, its tentacles as long as the Universe.
Will our hero prevail and find a way to keep the secrets of the Sigian Bracelet?

The novel is an action-packed space opera with plenty of space battles, adventures, and virtual fights taking place in ancient times—the players being Antyrans connected to a virtual world of game islands floating in the sky of a giant planet.

The writing style of the story follows the good tradition of the golden age of science fiction. Being a perfectionist, it took George Tome some twenty-five years to create the Antyran world, the last ten of which spent on the fifth (and final) iteration.
If you enjoyed reading classic science fiction writers as Arthur C. Clarke, A. E. van Vogt or Frank Herbert, if you liked the complexity of Isaac Asimov’s universe in the Foundation Series, you’ll love The Sigian Bracelet.
