CHACO by Peggy A. Wheeler

About CHACO by Peggy A. Wheeler

When everything you count on for your existence fails, could you survive?

Within days of a series of monster solar storms slamming into earth, electrical grids fail and everything in the northern hemisphere with a computer chip ceases functioning. Electricity won’t be completely restored for at least a decade, and the result is that everything modern life depends on to function is gone. There is no way to pump gas or water. Cell towers are wiped out, along with satellites. Airplanes and most vehicles will not operate. Communication is practically impossible. People cannot access life-saving prescription drugs or food. Police, fire services, and the military are overwhelmed, and hospitals can’t cope. There’s no one to come to the rescue, and as mass panic ensues, people begin dying. Fear and violence escalate until society collapses.

An unlikely hero emerges.

Chaco is a well-educated freedom fighter on a death list in El Salvador. Having fled to the United States, he is in hiding by working for a wealthy couple as their handyman and gardener. Following the disaster, he reveals his true identity, and convinces his employers and their neighbors to follow him over brutal mountain passes to a self-sufficient commune nearly 800 miles away.

But only a few will survive.

The Measurements of Decay by K. K. Edin

About The Measurements of Decay by K. K. Edin

From the 8th to the 15th of May, the ebook will be discounted at 66% on Amazon.com. The price during that time will be 0.99. On Amazon.uk, the book will be discounted at 55% during the same period, pricing it at 0.99.

In the far future, Earth’s nearby star systems have been colonized. Outfitted with a device that allows them to escape into hallucinations at will, people spend most of their time withdrawn into their own minds. Tikan Solstafir, a renegade who refuses the illusory life enjoyed by others, lives in self-imposed exile on a starship. When a mysterious enemy attacks the ship, Tikan embarks on a mission to destroy the galactic tyranny and liberate humanity from its own dreams.

Meanwhile, in the 21st Century, a disillusioned philosopher believes that humanity’s collective misery originates in people’s failure to communicate with others and make sense of the world. Growing increasingly misanthropic and monomaniacal, he proceeds on a hermetic quest to save humanity from itself, while also succumbing to his own moral decline.

As these stories intertwine, a young girl reappears through various epochs, fleeting through Ancient Greece, Medieval Norway, Bolshevik Russia, among others. Unbound by time, Sielle has formed few attachments. Eventually thrust into Tikan’s world, she becomes unwillingly entangled in a political scheme spanning centuries.

An engrossing and multi-layered science fiction epic, The Measurements of Decay is K. K. Edin’s stunning debut. At once a tortured love letter to philosophy and a space opera spanning centuries, it is a novel of ideas wrapped in a cautionary tale.

Red Angel: Book I: Smugglers by C R Daems

About Red Angel: Book I: Smugglers by C R Daems

Anna nearly dies at age four from the deadly Cacao virus. She survives, thanks to a mysterious red-headed poisonous krait. The medical community is excited because there is currently no known cure for the virus, but Anna’s krait, which she thinks a Red Angel sent to take her to heaven and her dead parents, is not the answer. She and her Red Angel have a symbiotic relationship that provides remission but not a cure. If she is ever separated from the krait, the virus will become active, and she will die within days.

Because of the krait’s presence, Anna struggles through multiple foster homes during her early years, ostracized by children and adults alike and plagued by thieves willing to kill her to snatch the unique and extremely valuable krait. Over the years, Anna comes to believe that the krait she calls Red not only keeps her alive but may contribute to her outstanding performance in school and her ability to solve puzzles.

Recognizing her talent, the Naval Intelligence Agency, NIA, hires her and assigns her to an elite team tasked with tracking down interstellar smugglers. The smuggling cartel is quick to retaliate. Now in addition to murderous thieves, Anna, along with the NIA team, has assassins and smuggler war cruisers stalking them. It may take a Red Angel to save them.

Sixteen-year-old Josh Driscoll lives in the Station, a city constructed one kilometer beneath the surface of a frozen, lifeless earth. Forced to enroll as a novice monk at the Station’s resident monastery as punishment for stealing a space suit and traveling to the surface, Josh is gradually drawn into ancient texts which hint at the city’s origins, now lost in the mists of time.

When the Station’s governing Council, of which his own father is a member, announces plans to reconstruct the sector and demolish the Black Heart, Josh forms a movement and leads a desperate battle to stop the demolition.

But can his tiny army of followers thwart the all-powerful Council in time to avert catastrophe?

Earth Interstellar: Proxy War by Scott Olen Reid

About Earth Interstellar: Proxy War by Scott Olen Reid

Earth’s first interstellar war is a non-stop rollercoaster ride of action, technology, and hidden agendas.

When Commander Mary Kree and the XSS Cousteau make First Contact with the Rheas, a pre-space flight alien race, it creates an opportunity for humanity to finally become the dominant partner in an interstellar relation after 300 years of paying tribute to their benefactor, the Vrene.

Humanity will make the Rheas a vassal species to humans in the same way the humans are a vassal race to the Vrene.

Only the Chzek already have a claim on the Rheas, who they want to enslave to serve their empire. And unknown to the humans, the Chzek are long-time enemies of the Vrene.

Without a choice, humanity and a Chzek vassal race are made the proxies of their more advanced benefactors and fight Earth’s first interstellar war.

Questions arise as Commander Kree and others realize the Vrene were preparing Earth to fight this war with their enemy for hundreds of years. Did their “benefactor” set them up to fight a war they do not want and cannot afford? Or, did the Vrene do them a favor preparing them for a war they were already destined to fight as the Chzek expand their empire?

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.
