As promised, artificial intelligence has taken over seventy percent of the workforce once employed by humans, leaving many struggling.

As the American people fight to survive, they grow weary of watching corrupt government officials put their selfish interests above the will of the people, and demand they be replaced by Damian Malone’s cyborgs. A genius in robotics and genomic testing, Malone has perfected the manufacture of artificially intelligent cyborgs that run ninety-five percent of people’s homes and businesses.

When the populace witness his latest innovations, they become desperate to see the United States run by the cyborgs’ logical algorithms rather than the malfeasance and corruption of current human leadership.

What the country is unaware of is Malone’s second passion: The environment.

A strong conservationist, he uses his vast wealth and leverage over current President, John Langdon, to establish a new branch of government called the Department of Environmental Preservation (DEP), and appointing Dr. Stephanie Wolff as its leader.

Dr. Wolff, a prominent figure in the conservation movement, works tirelessly to end corporate animal testing and all forms of animal cruelty worldwide.

With forty percent of the world’s animal populations facing extinction due to human interference, she welcomes the opportunity offered by President Langdon and Malone to use the vast might of the United States to aid her ambitions, but then a series of events, both home and abroad, change her perspective forever.

When a hunting party in Africa goes missing, and an American Senator is murdered, she is brought into the workings of Dr. Malone and his company, AlonGen, with the results shaking her to the core.

Along with FBI Special Agent David Stryker, the two must decipher Malone’s intentions, and hope they are capable of saving the world when things go horribly wrong. $0.99 on Kindle.

A contemporary “scientific romance” in the tradition of Wells and Burroughs.

A radical experiment in Time leads to a wild trip for five scientists who find themselves in a world of danger and the struggle for freedom, where humans are not the dominant life form. Instead, dinosaurs have evolved into two species of intelligent bipeds, one powerful and ruthless, the other contemplative and wise. They share a world once advanced, now primitive.

The scientists must learn to communicate and coexist with these dinosaur species, which initially view them as no more than exotic pets.
One of the humans is determined to recreate the original experiment in this primitive world so they can return home. Assuming there is a home, or even a universe, to return to.

Another scientist is looking to rise to power in this new world, even if it means the death of his traveling companions.

Strait-laced Jay David is sure about one thing: the preservation of the Charterist empire is the only way to safeguard the citizens of the Seti solar system from the pitfalls of their progenitors. To that end, he’s worked tirelessly for nearly a decade, deftly signing prefab countries to the Charterist mandate on the three inner planets, all the while dreaming about his fabulous someday civilian clothes.

On the eve of his transition out of civil service, he’s offered the assignment of a lifetime: voyage to the outer planets of the System, orchestrate their signing, and facilitate collective terms for all the Charterist countries.

The timing is no accident–after only 600 years of habitation, Seti’s carefully planned political structure is starting to crack, and Jay suspects certain alarming events of late aren’t as random as they appear. His devotion to the System’s welfare leaves him little choice but to start packing.

But things are different out-System, and Jay’s insulated life hasn’t prepared him for the danger, intrigue, and romance he encounters as tensions mount across the System, and signs emerge of a far-reaching conspiracy.

What does a gentleman do when his innermost beliefs are challenged? When doing the right thing becomes a moving target? When he’s forced to change his entire wardrobe in the middle of it all?

Jay’s about to find out…

He shouldn’t have survived that night.

Alex Weston didn’t believe in monsters—until something found him in the dark. Not human. Something faster. Smarter. Designed.

And when it should have killed him… something inside him answered instead.

A flash of light. Impossible. Violent. Alive.

THE THREAT
The world calls them vampires. But they are not myth.

They are Namtar—engineered predators buried beneath Antarctic ice since the fall of Atlantis. And now, they are waking.

As Alex’s body begins to change, the truth unravels faster than he can understand it:

The people around him know more than they should.

The past is not what he was told.

And somewhere in the shadows, a man named Shaw is already preparing.

Because this isn’t an outbreak. It’s a reset. Humanity was never meant to survive what’s coming next.

THE VERDICT
NAMTAR: The Night Plague is a dark techno-thriller where ancient myth collides with engineered evolution—and humanity is no longer at the top of the food chain.

Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton’s scientific dread, Blake Crouch’s relentless pacing, and the sweeping biological stakes of Justin Cronin. $2.99 on Kindle.

From Red-Line: The Shift…Sarah Randolph holds the key to survival for a secret community, but first she must endure a dangerous and life-altering change. John Ramsey must protect her, but an enemy wants her for himself.

From Red-Line: Mirrors…Sarah faces a troubling challenge when her newfound abilities inexplicably vanish, jeopardizing her chance to save the hidden community she’s newly joined, and risking the life of the man sworn to protect her.

From Red-Line: Trust Destiny…Sarah’s adjustment to her new role has led her to find love, but also comes at a cost. Because another Red-Line’s desire for her will cost her everything she holds dear.

T. Bishop. $0.99 on Kindle.

Commander Reeve expected a routine survey. Tag the rocks, log the readings, go home.

Then he orders his crew to drill into an asteroid that shouldn’t exist. A pulse goes out. Something ancient opens its eyes.

For centuries, humanity believed it was alone. It wasn’t. It was simply beneath notice.

The galaxy has been waiting. $0.99 on Kindle.

At 12:42 p.m. on a Tuesday, every human being on Earth loses consciousness. Five hours later, they wake up. Seven hundred million people are gone. Not dead, not missing in any way that search parties can solve. Just absent. Chairs still warm. Coffee still cooling. A boy’s pen still wet on the page, the ink line stopping mid-stroke as though the hand holding it simply ceased to exist.

The world that wakes up is quieter. Cleaner. The data is impossible to ignore: the air is measurably better. The oceans are healing. The forests are surging back to life with a speed that defies every model ever built. And the math connecting that recovery to the disappearances is almost perfect.

Almost beautiful, if you don’t think about whose kitchen table is empty tonight.

A journalist searches for her son in the only language she knows: data, patterns, the obsessive architecture of a spreadsheet that keeps expanding and never brings him home. A climate scientist holds proof that the planet is thriving and cannot publish it without handing the world a blueprint for the next atrocity. A pastor invents a comforting theology in the first hours of panic and watches it become a monster he can’t kill. And one man, the only person who stayed awake during those five hours, is becoming something that is no longer entirely human. A bridge to an intelligence that doesn’t hate humanity, doesn’t love it, and doesn’t distinguish between a person and a data point.
It will happen again. The only question is what could possibly stop it.

Five Hours is a novel about grief as infrastructure, memory as resistance, and the terrifying possibility that the Earth already knows exactly how to save itself. It just hasn’t decided whether we’re worth the cost. $0.99 on Kindle.

And then something went wrong.

Whether it was through mathematical probability, or divine intervention, Lance the LUV U-69 amorous companion droid has accidentally been downloaded with enough brainpower and free will to crack open the lid on a very dangerous can of worms.

Unless AWOL Retentions Agent Charlie Bear Claw can stop him.

In Book One of The Deilonium Trilogy, the primitive hunter with the troubled past stalks his high-tech prey on a secret mission. But their personal agendas soon become trivial in light of the unholy force they find undermining the fabric of the world. As the pair draws closer to their showdown, both man and robot come to realize they are ultimately at war with a common maniacal enemy. $2.99 on Kindle.

Lilly Feron never expected her quiet life running a wolf park in Utah to be upended by a single, dead animal. But when a wolf believed to be extinct with a spear tip lodged in its neck turns up on a highway, everything changes.

The weapon, made from Neanderthal bone only a few decades old, should be impossible. After all, these hominids vanished thirty-five thousand years ago.

She learns of a trapper who claims to have seen such a strange wolf, hidden deep in the Bitterroot Mountains. Was it the same animal?

Lilly and paleoanthropologist Austin Walker dig deeper, and uncover amazing truths about the existence of the last Neanderthals. Could they still be out there living in a shadowland?

As the mystery unfolds, they must wrestle with a gripping secret—one that forces them to question everything they thought they knew about history, humanity, and what lives in the wild. All before the authorities put an end to it.

The past isn’t gone. It’s waiting. And it’s about to make its presence known.

“INTO THE SHADOWLAND masterfully blends anthropological science with vivid storytelling, offering a gripping exploration of human resilience, culture, and belief in a forgotten world. With an archaeologist’s precision and a novelist’s imagination, J.M.G. Schmidt reconstructs an ancient way of life that feels startlingly real. Think Neanderthals were just grunting brutes? Think again. This fascinating journey into our deep past will challenge everything you thought you knew about our long-lost cousins.” — Patrick Keeney, Canadian author and journalist $0.99 on Kindle.

Mars has declared its independence from Earth. But founding a new nation takes more than a flag, an anthem, and naming a donkey the national animal.

As Mars fights to define itself, Flip Buchanan learns that the hardest part of independence—personal or planetary—is figuring out what to do with it. $0.99 on Kindle.

Sixteen-year-old Jack lives far from the chaos, on Cirrus, a colossal space station with endless skies, pristine waters, and artificial mountains.

When competing forces vie to control human evolution, Teagan Ward is thrust into the heart of the conflict. Once a captive on the Moon, she was subjected to genetic experiments—but the true prize wasn’t her. It was her daughter, Diana, created to survive in deep space and lead a new breed of humanity.

Now the ruthless Consortium wants her back.

As Earth reels from climate collapse and food shortages, powerful forces converge to control ecosystems, genetic patents, and access to survival itself. Their prize: the Seed Vault, a lunar repository containing the last viable genetic codes for Earth’s crops, food supplies—and maybe humanity’s future.

But it’s not just humans who covet the Vault’s valuable contents.

Protests erupt. Alliances fracture. And Teagan, seeking refuge among the Tritans—an endangered alien species—must protect Diana at all costs.

Meanwhile, Professor Olga Polyakov, the scientist who made Diana possible, is under orders to recover the child before rival factions strike. But as conflict brews between ideologies, worlds, and species, one truth becomes clear: the war for tomorrow has already begun. And only one thing might shape the outcome—a mother’s love.

The vault is the code.
The eclipse is the signal.
The child is the key.

In a battle for survival, what remains of humanity may not be who we were—but who we choose to become.

From a dying Earth to the vastness of space, the fight to protect humanity’s future has begun and one question drives them all: how to protect what remains of human freedom.. $0.99 on Kindle.

Ripped from Earth in the year 2023, he arrives in the distant future, brought there by an enigmatic alien race with their own hidden agenda.

Technology so advanced it has the potential to alter the balance of galactic power if it falls into the wrong hands and could mean the difference between keeping humanity safe or being hunted into extinction.

Aided by his trusty AI, Bits, he’s forced to adapt to his new life as he’s conscripted into military service and struggles to survive in a galaxy teeming with danger and enemies’ intent on the downfall of humanity.

Leanne Hermes, the wife of an eccentric billionaire scientist, was accidentally transported 99 years into the past by a device her husband made to capture the energy of the female orgasm.

Interstellar travel is commonplace; fusion reactors are in vehicles, controlled singularities are in batteries, matter turns into energy and back again in airport luggage carousels.

And now, Azoth promises something more: the chance to live as long as one has the will – and remain at one’s physical best to the end.

But in a civilisation where trust has become obsolete, will it be a blessing or a curse?

In the First Worlds, after four centuries of socinet, everyone lives under constant scrutiny. Everyone expects betrayal – and stands ready to strike first. ‘Zero trust’ is no longer an IT strategy; it is a way of life.

In such a society – some call it a sociopathocracy – what will near-immortality become? A dream fulfilled, or the ultimate tool of control?

Across the First Worlds, the corporate colonies born after WWIII, and the Third Worlds, the independent frontier worlds that followed, a few people understand that something must change.

But to challenge a culture built on fear and betrayal, they must first overcome something far more personal:

their own mistrust. Free on Kindle.

What am I? No longer a Kemet noblewoman – not after my father sold me into slavery for his gambling debts.

Not a slave – not after I started an uprising, the first in the history of modern Ta-Kem.

Not a rebel – even though some still call me the ‘Kemet Spartacus’ on socinet. Some of those I hoped to liberate turned on me when I tried to stop their senseless violence; the rest followed suit when the Per-Oh promised them better masters.

Not a first-worlder – I never needed their pity, was insulted by their condescension, and refused to satisfy their morbid curiosity.

So be it. I’m not bending over backwards or turning myself inside out to fit in. Besides, I don’t have to – here on Hiva, we’re all misfits.

Now, I am a captain in the Void Runners Scout Company of the Custodiaspes Battalion. We do tactical intelligence and unconventional warfare. My friends call me Sphinxie – and I draw a clear, hard line between friend and foe.

Would you want me for an enemy? I’m going on my first mission in open space now. You may follow it – and let me know afterwards. Free on Kindle.

Cosmologist Dr. Robert Porter is having a crisis of faith. Not of a faith he has lost, but of a faith he has gained. Robert now knew for a fact that the universe did not come into existence 13.8 billion years ago but rather precisely at what every person in the greater Los Angeles area would have considered to be 1:17 PM on Tuesday April 22 in the year 2025 but was actually second one of hour one of day one of week one of month one of year one of the existence of the universe. Robert did not doubt that fact. In fact, he had total faith that it was true.

When John Hamman found the time machine, he didn’t know what adventures it would lead him on, and he could not predict the sequence of events that would strand him in the distant past. Can he shape a future that will one day save him from his own mistakes?

Jenny Hamman was a child when her grandfather showed her the dinosaur tooth he wore on a cord around his neck. That moment set the trajectory of her life. Jenny had no idea of the dangers she would one day face. Only she can save her grandfather. Her existence and that of everyone she loves hangs in the balance.
———————————————————-
Sneak Peak:
Jenny wasn’t sure what woke her, some instinct that death was near. Perhaps it breathed on her. Jenny opened her eyes but only saw darkness. The smell made her freeze. It was a fetid smell of rotten meat, the smell of a lion or hyena that fed on carrion.

She had covered herself with cut ferns, but she could turn her head slightly and look up where she saw patches of the stars through the trees on this moonless night. Then a shape moved above her and blotted out the stars. She heard a huffing sound, and that fetid breath blew down on her like a wind.

She drew her gun and fired up into the shadow looming above her. The flash from the muzzle of the High Power lit up the inside of its mouth like a flashbulb, as she fired the gun down its throat. All she saw was teeth. Jenny screamed, the sound lost as she pulled the trigger over and over, emptying the magazine of the gun as fast as she could. She pulled her arm back as the jaws snapped shut. In the flashes she saw a great head pull back. She kept firing, and then the slide locked back on the empty magazine.

She was engulfed in a darkness more complete than she had ever known, her night vision ruined. That void was filled with a roar. It was more than a sound. It surrounded her and shook her very core. Blindly, she grabbed for the spear that laid beside her as she slept, and crawled away through the ferns that covered the ground. Through the ringing in her ears, she heard a crashing behind her as the great head smashed through the brush where she had been, its jaws closing on her resting place. Jenny made it to her feet and took off running. She might have been safe if it hadn’t been for the tree. She hit it straight on at full speed, and all she remembered was pain.

Laying on her back, she had her spear and the empty gun was still in her hand. She felt it in the ground. It shook beneath her. The dinosaur was coming. $0.99 on Kindle.
