The October Roundup of Scifi Books
Hello again. Just got back from a family holiday in south Wales. Lots of castles and beaches visited, and some SUPping in the rain!
And here are the books you want...
At the heart of a mystery unfolding in space, the opposing forces make a treacherous journey between Earth and Mars.
In space, mutiny means death—that’s why Inspector General Park Yerim is taking her investigation so seriously. The alleged mutineer is Captain Nicolau Aames, whose command of the massive Earth-Mars vessel Aldrin has come under fire. The vast System Initiative says he disobeyed orders, but his crew swears he’s in the right.
En route to Mars, Park gathers testimony from the Aldrin’s diverse crew, painting a complex picture of Aames’s character: his heroism, his failures, even his personal passions. As the investigation unfolds, Park finds herself in the thrall of powerful interests, each pushing and pulling her in a fiery cosmic dance.
Corruption, conflicting loyalties, and clashing accounts make it nearly impossible to see the truth in fifty million miles of darkness, and Park faces danger from every direction. All eyes are on her: one way or another, her findings will have astronomical implications for the Aldrin and the future of space travel.
Captain Siobhan Dunmoore no longer enjoys the freedom to fight the Shrehari Empire on her own terms aboard the Q-ship Iolanthe. Special Operations Command has assigned her to Task Force Luckner, whose mission is replicating Iolanthe’s success on a larger scale. Unfortunately, neither her new superior, Rear Admiral Kell Petras, nor any other captain in the task force understands successful commerce raiding requires a different mindset. Instead of sheepdogs, they must become wolves in sheep’s clothing, and Dunmoore is just the right officer to teach them. Yet Petras and his flag captain are not interested.
But when an unauthorized raid on a Shrehari forward operations base produces surprising results, Dunmoore triggers a cascade of events which could forever change the course of the war. As the old saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Will Dunmoore prove once again that she and Iolanthe’s crew are the most daring of them all?
A starship’s sirens scream into the void. Can a highly trained protector fight for peace on an unfamiliar world?
It’s elite soldier Laure’s duty to protect the last of humanity. Four hundred years after Earth fell to alien invaders, she’s only known life on a colonization ship searching through space. But when the vessel is forced to crash land for emergency repairs, Laure comes face to face with a new breed of enemy.
Struggling both to battle aliens and rescue her colonists, Laure never expects to find her other half on the strange planet. As her telepathic and physical bond with the alien grows, she’s horrified to discover the people she’s sworn to protect turn on her and consider her inhuman.
Torn between two species, can Laure defend humankind from extinction?
For decades, tensions have risen between the resurgent Terran Republic, formed from the ashes of a century-long conflict, and the Belters, colonists who left Earth at the height of the fighting to build new worlds among the stars, looking back at their homeworld with jealous, acquisitive eyes. When war erupts, the heart of their battle fleet is Goliath, the largest battleship ever built, the result of years of work in hidden shipyards lost in the depths of space. Earth has no answer to her, no ship in her fleet a match for the overwhelming power of the warship. Defeat seems inevitable.
Until a renegade Admiral concocts a final, desperate plan.
Only one ship, an experimental warship, the Avenger, might possibly stand a chance against the might of Goliath. One ship, with a picked crew, a crew with nothing to lose and everything to gain, gathered from the dregs of Earth’s space forces, all facing charges ranging from murder to mutiny, but all of them the best in their respective fields. The last hope for the Terran Republic. The last, desperate hope for victory.
You don’t know what’s coming...
Humanity is in danger...
The Krah have found our weaknesses, and nothing will ever be the same.
An experimental device was used in a last ditch effort to save the crew of the Modulus Echo. The result was more deadly than anyone anticipated.
A portal has opened to a new galaxy, a tunnel connecting two distant points of space. It is a doorway to a place ruled by a cruel, militant race whose only focus is complete domination. Humanity knows nothing about the Krah Empire, but soon they will learn to fear the alien ships and the fierce warriors who crew them. For the first time in the history of the human race, mankind is no longer the most intelligent and powerful species in the galaxy. The first shots in a galactic war have been fired, and the Modulus Echo is on the front lines.
'Reverb: Live, Die, Rave, Repeat' tells the epic story of six young and adventurous students who get to relive the first day of their, no holds barred, holiday to the hedonistic party haven of Magaluf over and over and over again.
Earth is safe for now, with it came some much needed surprises. Though if Salchar was expecting a break he’s in for a rude awakening, well he’s already done that once... but anyway.
Lady Fairgate has sensed something has gone wrong at Parnmal. Thinking that Jorsht is now trying to carve out his own little kingdom, she sends Captain Kelu, one of her favourite enforcers with the largest Syndicate Fleet assembled since the Syndicate and the Union went head to head.
Though Kelu is in for some nasty surprises when he reaches Parnmal, Jorsht isn’t home and this little bit of space is defended by the Free Fleet. Salchar and his people are going to have to pull some major tricks out of their hats to survive the defense of Parnmal. It’s time to see if the Free Fleet has what it takes to survive. No matter what the outcome, their going to make sure no one is going to forget their names.
In the year 1735 on Beta-Earth, something rare changed everything. War. A civil war in the country of Alma that not only tore up that land but spilled all over the Old Continent. That was because the Royal House of Alma wanted to impose their religion of the New Dome over all their reluctant neighbors. None of these countries had the military power of Alma, so it was up to independent companies of swift-acting, resourceful, and quick-thinking resistance groups to push the invaders back to the sea. Perhaps they could even the odds by capturing one of the new weapons the Almans were firing at them, the deadly missiles that seemed to have minds of their own?
But war can take unexpected, even quirky twists and turns that surprise all sides of the conflict. Can hearty resistance fighters reclaim their homelands or will the seemingly omnipotent Almans bully the New Continent into submission?
Aru must choose...
...use his powers to protect his family...
...or give up his life to save millions of strangers.
Aru and Nemi together summoned Trikaal, an ancient time traveler, who agreed to be their Guru. Nemi chose to master time travel, and Aru to read the future.
But their lives took a sharp turn when paranoid Nemi imprisoned Aru and his pregnant wife. Aru, who considered Nemi his brother, never saw it coming and now languishes in a tiny jail cell. While Nemi travels back and forth in time, wreaking death and destruction.
Traveling to the distant future, Nemi aims to decimate the last survivors of humanity. Aru reads this future and has a plan to end it all. But the price of doing the right thing is too high.
Will Aru escape and save his family or stay and save the world?
