We are offering an e-book of Icarus by David Hulegaard in exchange for an honest review no later than two weeks after you receive the book. Icarus is a twisting science fiction noir that’s been described as what would’ve happened if Phillip K. Dick had written a Sam Spade novel.
When a teenage girl goes missing, a detective’s search leads him to an otherworldly mystery beyond anything he could have ever imagined…
It’s the winter of 1947 in Ashley Falls, West Virginia, and a teenage girl has gone missing. Local private detective Miller Brinkman takes the case, quickly uncovering a string of bizarre clues. A hidden diary, cryptic riddles, and buried secrets all pique Miller’s interest, but one key detail gives him pause: the girl’s parents haven’t reported her disappearance to the authorities.

As the case deepens, Miller’s investigation begins to poke holes in the idyllic picture of his beloved hometown. No longer certain whether anyone in his community can be trusted, Miller dives headfirst into a desperate search for the truth that extends far beyond the borders of Ashley Falls. He soon discovers that his missing persons case is not an isolated incident, but part of an otherworldly mystery—one that, if confronted, may threaten the very future of humanity.

We are offering an e-book of Trispero by Sean Adelman in exchange for an honest review no later than three weeks after you receive the book. Trispero is a fast-paced sci-fi thriller that explores the value inherent in everyone.

Our intellect directs us. Our humanity defines us.

What if the key to unlocking our genetic code and our future lay within some of our most disenfranchised individuals? Would we still shun them?

Seattle in the year 2330: centuries of conflict have led to this precipice. If the world is to move forward, Olivay has the difficult task of teaching Alucia her history. Olivay knows that without understanding where she came from Alucia will never be able to help humanity explore the universe.

In present day Seattle, Jason Roy is a scientist whose life revolves around his daughter, Lily. Within her genome lies a secret that Jason has dedicated himself to uncovering. The mundane life of a scientist and his family takes a turn when a multinational corporation decides Jason Roy's research is a danger to them.

Jason and Lily are now running away from an unforeseen enemy and toward a discovery that will change mankind. Altering the world may come too late for Jason to save what matters most in his own world.

The great irony of unlocking our genetic potential was finding that our greatness was found in our love for one another.

We are offering an e-book of Hear No Evil by Terry Persun in exchange for an honest review no later than two weeks after you receive the book. Hear No Evil mixes space opera with science fiction mystery to deliver a fun-filled and dynamic story.

A colony of scientists, a megalomaniac, an alien race...which will prevail?

Brandon and Palmer, soldier and pilot, pitch their skills against a high-profile negotiator bent on taking over an entire planet, which could change the lives of every colonist on it. And why would one man want to do such a thing? To gain control of a secret alien race discovered on C47. It's not about scientific discovery, and it's not about saving an alien race, it's about power and control.

If Garth Killjoy, President of Section 204 of the Intergalactic Peace Force, gets his way he'll have the entire Earth Central government under his control, and he knows it. That means all bets are off when it comes to honesty or fairness when working with the colonists. That's why he sent a fake negotiator pummeling toward C47 in a cruiser filled with explosives.

Before the ship gets blown out of the sky, Captain Palmer Luce ejects and is rescued by a second cruiser. She believes her friend may have gone down with the ship. But Lieutenant Brandon Lockhardt barely escapes with his life...and he's not happy. He can't wait to talk with Palmer to see why she left him behind. And she's heartbroken that he may be dead…

A retired shaman is contacted by the NSA to find out who’s coercing politicians into passing bills that they have fought up until now.

As a shaman, he’s used to going to other worlds, but not a machine world. So, he does what he knows how to do, he enters through the people being affected.

To make matters worse, his son, Jason, just returned from shaman training, which wasn’t going well at all for him—something about a giant snake. So, he wants his dad to train him. And, Dan’s not sure how to work with the son he hasn’t seen in a while. But this might not be the right time, since people are being shot at and Dan must figure out what is going on before time runs out.
