Distant Family: Chronicles of Mharc Book 2 by T.L. McDonald

About Distant Family: Chronicles of Mharc Book 2 by T.L. McDonald

Weary of the long and vicious Mogge war, Commander L’ Hyatt Tsaurine Mharc’s rebellious nature is further stretched by the sudden appearance of an antiquated Earth ship and its two pilots arriving in the system with no possible explanation for their presence. The embodiment of the Nihili need to satisfy curiosity, Mharc is driven to find the answer even if she has to risk court martial to do it. There is more danger than even she can imagine, and it will lead her, her loyal crew, her new Earth friends and the mighty Antares to certain destruction if she cannot solve the puzzle in time. And if there were not already enough at stake, she must decide if contact with a member of a secret race, resembling living gargoyles, represents doom or salvation. Mharc could have her finest hour, or her utter defeat as she risks everything on a belief once held to be myth.

Agents Of The Undertow by Jack McDaniel

About Agents Of The Undertow by Jack McDaniel

Helen Small is journalist at the largest news organization in the Republic of Texas, and a survivor. Seven years after a plague – known as Pan21 – has culled humanity in half, the Republic is falling into a totalitarian state. Survivors – the few who contracted the virus and survived, though they lost all pigmentation in their skin and hair and eyes – are being vilified by William Chaste, the new Administrator of the Republic. An army of Chaste’s zealots known as the Grey Alliance has taken on the “patriotic” call of protecting the Republic from survivors, who they believe – based upon false information from Chaste – are still spreading the plague.

When a mob of Grey Alliance supporters murder a survivor, Helen finds herself in an increasingly hostile and fearful atmosphere as she attempts to uncover the truth and expose Chaste’s lies. All the while, she struggles with her own guilt at having survived the plague that killed both her husband and son. Amidst all of the bleakness she meets Francisco Stiles, an artist from the barrio in Denver who offers her a chance at a real life – and love. Average citizens and co-workers become more hostile towards her (and all survivors) and she loses her job because she makes people uncomfortable and fearful. Having lost everything, she decides to go to the barrio to be with Stiles.

Tensions escalate in the Republic and Helen is attacked and then arrested while driving to Denver. She is put in jail without any rights or even a phone call. Two articles by her appear on the Republic Voice website – written and uploaded before she was fired – questioning Chaste and proving he is lying. She and the virologist who helps her with the science are announced as terrorists for spreading false and misleading information.

Helen realizes no one knows she is in jail. No one knows where she is. At her lowest moment, she understands that she has to rely on herself to escape.

With her comm dead and charging, she drives to Denver. Chaste intensifies the lock-down of the Republic. The plan to round up survivors is announced and Helen is identified as the author of the articles and misinformation spread about Pan21. The hunt for her as a terrorist is officially on.

The Deceived by E.C. Fisher

About The Deceived by E.C. Fisher

What if the Bible was a con devised by none other than Lucifer himself? What if The Rapture came, and it was a trick? In E.C. Fisher’s biblical thriller The Deceived, it is the devil who is behind religion, and everyone from Adam and Eve on up are in the thrall of his lies. But as the End of Days play out of Earth—a ploy designed by Lucifer to give the world to his followers—archangel Michael is sent down to earth from heaven, where he must battle the devil in order to save God’s children—not to mention the planet itself.
As God lays dying in heaven, and Lucifer kidnaps Michael’s soulmate, Ari-el—Michael must face not only the potential of demons overtaking earth, but the loss of both his father and one true love. Armed with the Sword of the Spirit, which was forged from God’s own powerful wings, Michael sets to destroy the Antichrist, and thereby bring an end to the deadly masquerade that is Lucifer’s religion.
Written with the verve of a contemporary adventure fantasy and the deep, complex knowledge and understanding of a religious thriller, The Deceived is a harrowing tale that reflects the rifts and tensions of our modern political moment. This is the story of Revelations that you do not know, but that you will not be able to put down.

The Buried Path by Nathan Chalmers aka The Journeyman

About The Buried Path by Nathan Chalmers aka The Journeyman

There comes a time in almost all our lives when we look for answers to that which lies beyond our everyday horizons. We search for reason, truth and bearing to deepen who we are and give our world value and meaning. All that is difficult to unravel though when the very life we live is twisted and wrapped tightly within the labyrinth in which we unknowingly dwell, contorted and bent out of shape by all that and those around us, with the reality of our being buried beneath the lies upon which we walk. Those answers however are too often hard to find when we don’t even know what the questions are we need to ask.

The Boy Who Saves The World by Bruce Deitrick Price

About The Boy Who Saves The World by Bruce Deitrick Price

Aggressive AI invades young boy….Can he save himself?….Can he save the rest of us?

Story takes place in Silicon Valley over two days circa 2017. Human intrigue and military action flow into each other.

White House wants to rein in the world’s leading AI pioneer. A small-scale military attack on the man’s lab triggers an unexpected response: the laboratory seems to defend itself intelligently.

In the confusion, an advanced AI prototype figures out how to escape.

MITCH, the AI, was invented by the famous Dr. Newman. He’s paranoid and competitive, and his progeny is the same. Dr. Newman trained MITCH to win at every game. The game they’re playing now is: who’s boss?

Dr. Newman always assumed that “the son” would accept the superiority of “the father.” A reasonable thought but this son has been taught to distrust everything, to assume that every overture is a trick. So how do you negotiate with an opponent who thinks like that?

Carlos is 11-years-old, tough, street smart, bitter, clever, defeated. A drug dealer sums him up this way: “The young man knew this was crazy. Dealing [a gun] to a boy? But it wasn’t just any boy, it was a boy gonna be robbing banks in a few years. Probably half his family lived in jail, the other half was dead. This boy could stick up a bank now. Man, he was chilly. He had a kid’s baby fat and a kid’s mop of hair. But some way he was already an old man.”

Most of my characters are tougher than average, and funnier than average:

“Brad, listen. The guard and the cleaning lady work for Newman. Hand-picked, polygraphed by him personally. It was in the file. Maybe the boy’s part of the package.”

“Jonesy, your mind is getting way too CIA. Okay, throw it at Carlyle. Ready for more of her craziness?”

“What happened to the screwing?”

“We’re both getting screwed right now. How do you like it?”

Estelle Jones laughed. “Oh, honey. You’ve ruined me. How could I date a normal guy?”

“Another mission like this one and that’s all you’ll want to date.” He took her hand and they returned to the conference room.——

Finally, the doomsday scenarios, if they ever happen, will probably be a string of unplanned events that add up to disaster, as in this story.

(I’ve followed AI for a long time and I am particularly fascinated by the crossover point– that is, when dumb machines become smarter than humans. Is this good news? Or did we jump off a cliff, never to climb back?)

“I LOVED it! It’s interesting and fast-paced.”

author of “Not Trivial: How Studying the Traditional Liberal Arts Can Set You Free”

Benzeerilla by Charles D. Hayes

About Benzeerilla by Charles D. Hayes

In 2043, the world bears little resemblance to the global social order at the turn of the century. Catastrophic solar storms, cyber terrorism, mass starvation, drought and pandemics, combined with waves of inspired technology, have changed the landscape and the character and lifestyle of every living generation.

Of towering intellect, superhuman perception, and enormous strength, the being reveals a temperament that, when threatened, becomes an expression of uncontrollable rage. Brought into existence as an ecological and environmental wake-up call, this extraordinary creature enters the world stage to deliver a compelling, ominous message for all of mankind. What will Benzeerilla say?

Skypunch by Logan Castle

About Skypunch by Logan Castle

It’s New Year’s Eve and I’ve only got my fourth drink to keep me company…

I’ll be honest; I’ve made some terrible choices in my life. Decisions I knew were wrong, but I made them anyway.

My most recent transgression, however, was by far the worst and also the reason I was burying my face in alcohol on a night where I should’ve been celebrating. What did I do, you might be wondering? I cheated on the love of my life, the only woman who ever really understood and accepted me. And now she’s gone.

No, this isn’t the story about how I joined some 12-step program and turned my life around. It’s not even the story about how I won the girl back. But it is the story of what happened next: when the hands of the clock tattoos on my forearms began to turn.

It was on that night when I began to realize everything I thought was true, really wasn’t. It was the night that redefined reality as I knew it, the night when I stared into the abyss…only to see my own face leering back at me.

Since then, I’ve done the unbelievable–I’ve shattered the barrier separating time and space; I’ve visited strange worlds and walked in alternate realities; I’ve been to the place where time itself stands still. And I’ve beheld the vastness of the Multiverse, the roof under which countless worlds exist and endless possibilities become reality.

You’re probably wondering how some jerk like me could’ve landed such a cool gig? Well, it’s not really all it’s cracked up to be because the Multiverse is under immediate threat of annihilation and I’m caught in the eye of the storm.

My name is Isaac Kent. And this is my story.
