July Round Up of SciFi Books
First of all, an apology for not posting in a few months. I have not been well but things seem to be on the way up.
Anyway, thought you might like this video - it is a current British Arm recruiting advert...
And here are the books you want...
Admiral John 'Black Jack' Geary faces the true unknown as he leads his fleet on a mission that could change humanity's understanding of the universe itself.
Having survived political warfare Geary must lead a diplomatic mission to establish a new embassy with the cryptic but welcoming Dancers. But to get there, his battle group, and the scientists and ambassadors they're escorting, must enter space controlled by the mysterious, and deadly, Enigmas.
Carrying the burden of his own legend, Geary must cross hostile space with saboteurs and assassins hiding in his crew. He must embody the best of military leadership, knowing every decision he makes will be assessed on the galactic stage. He must be the brilliant tactical commander, and a man who knows the price of pulling the trigger.
After more than twenty years in special operations, USMC Gunnery Sergeant Wolf Mathison wasn’t looking forward to retirement when—implanted with an experimental artificial intelligence—he deployed on his last mission with a platoon of Marine Raiders being sent to the Jovian moon Europa.
The USS Jefferson was destroyed en route, though, and only Mathison and three other Marines survived. Trapped in stasis, they were hurled into the outer reaches of the solar system, where they wouldn’t be found for hundreds of years.
Meanwhile, on Earth, the United States is destroyed and a fascist regime rises to power, expanding into the galaxy to plant its boot heel on the necks of humanity. But SOG, the Social Organizational Governance, is not unopposed, and researchers at a top-secret research outpost are working on a solution that will let SOG reign supreme. Unfortunately for the Marines, they’re awakened from stasis at the same time the researchers awaken a threat that endangers the entire human race.
The odds are against them, but that’s nothing new for the Marine Raiders.
Security Lieutenant Dave is looking forward to some simple cases and patching things up with his wife. His handling of a terrorist attack has gained him acclaim and some new friends in high places, but he is still closely involved with Arancha Station's mob boss.
When the space station manager is killed in a new and worrying way, Dave realises that he's got possibly the biggest case of his career. Unfortunately, as soon as his new boss arrives with reinforcements, he is relegated to monitoring data and assigned a rookie partner to babysit.
Dave needs to find something that will crack the case open before the killer can strike again.
Doug's world is falling apart around him.
The death of an old friend and mentor has left him in a well of doubt, questioning his worth and future as a Galactic Ranger. The galaxy edges ever closer to disaster despite the efforts of him and his crew.
Returning to Lavtak, the three seek out the comforting heart of an old friend, but are horrified to find her missing, signs pointing to her kidnapping.
Amid his grief and the race to find the woman who loves him, he discovers a ruthless assassin stalking his crew.
Can he protect his friends, find his missing girl, and stop the ever-growing threat of the Empire? Or will all his fears come to fruition and his days as a Ranger come to a crashing end?
Earth has fallen. Humanity’s military is in shambles. Those willing to fight work desperately to find allies so they might survive the purge. Admiral Thomas Gaston takes a chance, sending a battleship to evacuate colonies and save lives. They meet stiff resistance, learning just how powerful their enemies have become. With no backup and countless people relying on them, they must risk everything or lose even more.
Commander Gareth Weston and his ragtag crew finally have some direction. The enemy seems to be seeking scientists from every other culture. One of which was last seen in a settlement which may already be under attack by Veldon forces. Time is of the essence and they race to save the man before he falls under the influence of the most ruthless invaders anyone has ever encountered.
Meanwhile, on the hunt to bring more allies to humanity’s aid, an ambassador’s ship encounters a mysterious alien race famous for their isolationism. As they attempt contact, they discover a power they never imagined. If they succeed, they may have the help they so desperately needed but if not, their fate could be worse than had they died on Earth.
Still trapped decades in the past, Vaughn and his band of military pilots and SAS special operators battle the Necks across the multiverse. Our heroes now wield powerful new allies and weapons, but the enemy robots refuse to go peacefully into the night. Attacking dirtside and spaceside simultaneously, both teams fight to flip the fortunes of battle because there's only one answer when the question is them or us.
Admiral James Henry has traded a war of weapons for one cloaked in diplomacy as leader of the fledgling Independent Systems Fleet. Fighting alongside the Terran Coalition to rid the Sagittarius Arm of tyranny was the easy part. Now forced into the political arena, he’s never missed the freewheeling spacer’s life more.
Or his scattered crew.
Leading them, Captain Miri Gaon is still haunted by past actions working deep cover for Coalition Intelligence Service. When pirates attack the Venture Star on a medical supply run to a frontier planet, age-old training kicks in.
And suspicions are raised.
"Curall" promises a miracle for whatever ails you. But miracles demand steep sums mere credits can’t pay. When a vial lands in her lap from an unexpected source, Miri and her crew must get the Venture Star spaceworthy again and fight past vicious warlords and pirates to deliver the addictive drug to Admiral Henry.
Or see more worlds fall to an all-new enemy.
The Indescribable Joy of Destruction has to choose between his human friends and his fellow Artificial Sentiences.
Legate Olivia Johnson struggles to adjust to life without her enhanced brain implants.
Decurion Anastasia Seivers rejoins the Legion to face her biggest challenge - command.
Together they are closing in on the war criminals in the Red Fleet. Will they succeed in bringing its commander to justice or will he evade their clutches once more?
Five years after physicist Mark Holder discovered the Slipstream Drive in 2058, humanity reached for the stars and began to colonize the galaxy. For centuries, humans continued to populate system after system without encountering intelligent alien life.
Some twelve hundred years later, after many generations of relative peace, in the year 3278, human space is invaded by a powerful and mysterious enemy. To these invaders the very concept of free will is heresy. Their crusade—to eradicate humanity.
The war begins, and the fight for the survival of the human race is on.
After nearly two hundred years’ travel, humanity’s first deep space colony expedition has arrived at its new home.
Ethan, the descendant of six generations who lived and died aboard ship, treads on soil and feels the wind and rain for the first time.
But the new planet is not the paradise the scientists predicted. Alien predators lurk beyond the camp’s perimeter, and stowaway saboteurs are determined no one will survive.
Tensions in the new colony rise, and Ethan must fight to preserve the last hope of humankind.
When a Daklan annihilator drops out of lightspeed, make sure you’re in a different solar system.
Humanity is trapped in a decades-long conflict with a warlike alien species known as Daklan. The military’s high command has played it safe for too long and now defeat seems inevitable.
Dealing with the consequences on the frontline, warship captain Carl Recker is a man with enemies on both sides.
A routine mission takes him to a distant world upon which he finds technology from a war fought by an unknown species. The Daklan are interested in it too, and they have an annihilator class battleship at their disposal, while Recker is flying the smallest lightspeed capable warship in the human fleet.
What follows will test Recker to his limits. Relentlessly pursued by the unstoppable battleship and seemingly forsaken by his superiors, he must hunt down answers from the past while fighting enemies from the present.
Powerful relics of an ancient, terrible war are scattered on the fringes - finding them and unlocking their secrets may be the only hope for humanity.
