February Roundup of SciFi Books
What lovely crisp and sunny weather we've been having here. Good for the soul. A far cry from a hot drop on an arid alien world!
And here are the books you want...
One human. Six legs. All hero.
Merchant Academy grad Ciarán mac Diarmuid wants to do well by doing good. But when he rescues a mysterious stranger from foreign assassins no respectable merchant captain will hire him.
On a superluminal mission of epic proportions.
Now Ciarán must apprentice himself to the black sheep of the powerful nic Cartaí clan, a young woman who is almost certainly a pirate, aboard a sentient starship that is almost certainly insane, on a mission that will almost certainly get both him and his cat killed.
Across a galaxy more dangerous than anyone imagines.
Ciarán has no idea he has been chosen. Any competent human may win a merchant’s license. And any interstellar vessel will do. But it will take more than two legs and a pair of opposable thumbs to liberate the galaxy and see justice done.
It will take the heart of a tiger. And of the champion who walks beside her.
Hostile aliens called Shadows are invading Earth, and ex-starship security officer Jas Harrington and her friends have been fighting them. But Earth’s Global Government refuses to acknowledge the alien threat—it’s been infiltrated and Shadows stalk its corridors.
Only the Transgalatic Council can help humanity now, but to convince it of Earth’s peril and enlist its aid, Jas needs evidence that Shadows are living among humans. She’s kidnapped a government minister who she believes is a Shadow. With a living example of the alien threat, the Council will have to believe her.
But Jas may have made a terrible mistake. Is the minister really a Shadow? If she isn’t, and Jas can’t prove that the invasion is happening, Earth will burn and fall, and the galactic empire will follow.
Jack Bennet has done the impossible: collected on a bounty in the notorious Pirate Worlds.
He’s earned himself a nice boost to his reputation, a hefty payday...and a cult of enemies hellbent on revenge.
Reaching out to a friend at Fleet Intelligence lands Jack an offer he can’t refuse, but to collect, he’ll have to take the plunge back into the viper’s nest. In the Pirate Worlds, the only rule of law is a brutal hierarchy written in blood by thieves, murderers, cartels, and con artists running deadly games on their way to the top.
And this time, they know Jack’s name.
An ancient threat is rising.
Jace Hughes has successfully crippled the Union, saving a small civilization in the process. With a new army at his side, he sets his sights on Earth, the lost homeworld of humanity, vowing to finish the job he set out to do.
But there is something looming on the horizon. Another threat of unspeakable carnage, and it isn’t the Union or the Sarkonians.
It may not even be human.
Journey alongside Jace as he attempts to save his crew, his people, and himself from an enemy he cannot see. The mission is bleak, but the payoff is huge, and everyone wants him dead. In a galaxy full of violence, he’ll be lucky to make it out alive.
Just another day for a Renegade.
The treaty is signed. The war is over.
Or is it?
In the wake of the bitter galactic conflict, a cauldron of desperate refugees is rife with rival cartels and flooded with drugs and weapons.
In this pocket of lawlessness, old enemies are fighting a new war by proxy.
Captain Jackson Adams of the Coalition Defense Force is tasked with gathering a ragtag crew for a black ops mission—infiltrate the cartels and discover the enemy’s ultimate scheme.
But what they uncover is more horrifying than anyone ever anticipated.
The final fight for control of humanity begins now.
The United Terran Federation is on the brink of collapse after a devastating attack by the Eastern Star Alliance that has left four planets depopulated and uninhabitable. Terrified member worlds are fleeing from the Federation and the remnant of their once-mighty fleet has retreated to the last place they are welcome: Earth.
Out of options and time, the Federation turns to Admiral Jackson Wolfe and his new superweapon that could be the key to turning the tide of the war in their favor. Admiral Wolfe knows that no matter what, the fate of humanity will be decided in the coming battle.
Admiral Geary's First Fleet of the Alliance has survived the journey deep into unexplored interstellar space, a voyage that led to the discovery of a new enemy and a possible ally. Now Geary's mission is to ensure the safety of the Midway Star System, which has revolted against the Syndicate Worlds empire-an empire on the brink of collapse. As Geary endeavours to escort the fleet home unharmed, the Syndics' attempts to spread dissent and political unrest may have already sown the seeds of the Alliance's destruction.
