A LEGEND REBORN It’s been nearly a century since Thomas Rimor last battled Yvag knights. In that time his wife and daughter have grown old and died, and he has discovered that he ages not at all. The elven world believes him long dead. In his grief, he has retreated to the depths of Sherwood and Barnsdale Forests and become a hermit, lost in his memories. But when a dying outlaw arrives on his doorstep with items stolen from an Yvag skinwalker, it sets in motion events that thrust Thomas back into the world and force him into combat with Queen Nicnevin’s soldiers once again, including this time his late sister’s changeling daughter and the Queen’s own grotesque offspring, Bragrender. Praise for Rhymer: “Gregory Frost brings real magic to Rhymer! Very highly recommended!" Get Rhymer: Hoode eARC. |
A CITY DIVIDED On the dying world of Raylicon, the “haves” live in great luxury in Cries while the “havenots” scrape by, eking out a marginal existence in the notorious Undercity beneath the desert. Major Bhaajan, formerly of the Pharaoh’s Army, knows both worlds. Born into the Undercity, she now has the chance to help her people. For the first time, a member of the Royal class wants to extend an olive branch to the Undercity. To help find peace, the Dust Knights must reach the most hidden rungs in that mysterious underground world, a place known only as the Down Deep, where the scars from centuries of distrust are greatest. There they will face an unseen enemy that may destroy the lives of everyone they know—and threaten interstellar civilization. About the Major Bhaajan series: “ . . . riveting. . . . The world is rich and vivid, with two distinct cultures in the Undercity and the aboveground City of Cries. This exciting novel stands alone for anyone who enjoys science fiction adventure.” Get The Down Deep eARC. |

“BIONIC FRONTIER" BY ROBERT E. HAMPSON
After a disaster aboard the Asimov Station, International space agencies agreed that space was too harsh to be left to amateurs. A professional crew would be needed to handle operations, maintenance, and emergency management for every station and every ship carrying civilians through space. Heinlein Station, the first station to be built by the United States Space Force, is due for an expansion. It’s tricky work, but with a good crew—and a little help from cutting-edge bionic prosthetics—it is imminently doable. Read “Bionic Frontier,” a new short story set in the world of The Moon and the Desert by Robert E. Hampson. |
