LOCK AND LOAD FOR HUNTING MONSTERS
The chaos god Asag has been seemingly quiet since the destruction of the City of Monsters, but everybody at Monster Hunter International knows that he—or it or whatever—is still out there spoiling for another chance to unravel reality. And when Owen Pitt and the MHI team discover that one of Isaac Newton's Ward Stones is being auctioned off, they attempt to lay hands on the magical super weapon. But before MHI can get it, the Stone is nicked by a mysterious thief with ties to both MHI and the Vatican's Secret Guard. Now Owen and MHI find themselves in a race against time and monsters to acquire Newton’s Stone and destroy Asag once and for all. Get Monster Hunter Bloodlines here. |
THE ANSWER LIES AMONG THE STARS
2072. At the lunar farside radio observatory, an old-school radio broadcast is detected, in an unknown language, coming from an impossible source—Proxima Centauri. While the nations of Earth debate making first contact, they learn that the Proximans are facing an extinction-level disaster, forcing a decision: will Earth send a ship on a multiyear trip to render aid? Interstellar travel is not easy, and by traveling at the speeds required to arrive before disaster strikes at Proxima, humans will learn firsthand the time-dilating effects of Einstein’s Special Relativity and be forced to ponder ultimate questions: "Are we alone in the universe?” “What does it mean to be human?” The answers are far from academic, for they may determine the fate of not one, but two, civilizations.

BRUTE FORCE. INTRANSIGENT DEFIANCE. ADAMANTINE WILL.
These are the hallmarks of the AI tank. Formed from cold steel and superpowered computing brains, these gigantic tanks with the firepower of an entire army have been the decisive factors in interplanetary battle. But are humans worthy of the extraordinary instruments of war that they have created? Are the Worldbreakers the greatest protector of human liberty, or its worst threat? For while these Worldbreakers very definitely have minds of their own, the question remains: within their iron and superluminal quantum breasts, does there lie a faithful heart? Stories of world breakers and world-makers in the great tradition of Keith Laumer’s Bolos from David Weber, Larry Correia, Wen Spencer, and more! Get World Breakers here. |
NOW AVAILABLE AS AN EARC
The huge, authoritarian Solarian League lies in defeat, crushed by the Grand Alliance of Manticore, Haven, and Grayson. Yet the League is the most economically powerful human star nation in existence, and many League citizens deeply resent the fashion in which their star nation has been humbled. But there is an ongoing conspiracy far more dangerous than the bitterness of Solarian League defeat. Defeated Solarians and agents of the victorious Alliance must join forces to bring that conspiracy’s deed to light. For the Mesan Alignment is still insidiously working toward the enslavement of humanity. Now is the time to destroy this ancient evil. Now is the time to fight the final battle and see victory through—once and for all! To End in Fire eARC, available now! Get your copy here. |
