Blood Harvest
by Russ Linton
Former Baltimore cop Eustace “Ace” Grant is on a quest to find lost sorcery. An apprentice shaman, Ace walks the spirit realm in search of a cure for his terminal illness.
When asked to recover a Civil War sword, Ace finds traces of a magic more potent than he’s ever experienced. Forged in England by a smith in possession of the Primal Flame, the blade had been intended for a different battle entirely – the one at the end of time.
That battle upon us, it’s up to Ace to recover the sword. Without it, the world as we know it will be plunged into a nightmare. He’ll find the sword or die trying. That is if his ghostly mentor, Atofo, will only let go of his soul…
Guerrilla Girl
by John Bowers
Terra Lafirma, a native girl from the hill country of Casamanilla Province, wants to join the local regiment to fight the evil Askelonis. She has been taught all her life that Askelon, the most powerful world in the Trimary System, is responsible for exploiting her planet and stealing its resources.
Back on Askelon, Tyler Unruh has graduated high school and joined the army. Two years of hard training have qualified him to join 14th Star Infantry, the “elitest outfit in the whole damned army”.
And trillionaire Jorge Sorres, the richest man in the galaxy, orchestrates the next move in his favorite game—pulling the strings of power to bring Askelon to its knees.
Don’t miss this thrilling sequel to Starport.
Lightwave: Command Decision
by AM Scott
Saree and Lightwave fly together, maintaining clocks and trying to avoid everyone hunting them. They’ve started to come together as a team, but Saree’s no-longer secret identity is straining their bonds. No matter how many times they change their name or fold to a new constellation, Lightwave is under constant threat. Organized crime, greedy corporations, and political operatives all hunt Saree—the most wanted woman in the universe. Lightwave needs real protection, maybe a whole military fleet.
When Hal shows up, apparently unharmed from his captivity, he has all the answers. But is his escape too good to be true? And will the pressure on the crew form diamonds or crush them into stardust? Find out in Lightwave: Command Decision, Folding Space Series 6.0!
Lightwave: Clocker

Can Saree keep her secret life safe? She’d rather die than blockade and blackmail systems for a crime lord or evil corporation. And there’s worse out there…
Race across the universe, one step ahead of danger with Saree and the crew of Lightwave. Get your copy of Lightwave: Clocker, Folding Space Series 1.0, before freedom ticks away, one nanosecond at a time…

The Vacuum of Space
by Julia Huni
Most people want fame and fortune, but not Triana Moore. She prefers programming maintenance bots and eating vendo food in the solitude of the space station’s control center. But when a highly connected security agent interrupts her routine with stories of murder and missing bodies, Triana can’t ignore him; it’s cooperate or find a new job. A girl has to pay the rent, even on a crappy studio compartment.
Since working with a shiny detective beats a shuttle dirt-side, Triana lends her programming skills to Agent O’Neill’s investigation. Together, they find more victims and evidence of a major cover-up. A killer with a clean-up crew means money—lots of money, and connections—just the kind of notice Triana tries to avoid. Following the clues leads them to the wealthiest levels of the station, uncovers long-hidden secrets and puts the killer on notice.
Myth Management
by Alex Musson
BATTLE THE MONSTERS ~ SAVE THE WORLD ~ FILE THE PAPERWORK.
For hundreds of years, the noble British bureaucracy of Myth Management has maintained the delicate balance between the human and mythological worlds – a thin tweed line between civilisation and chaos.
Today, Emily Peasbridge—lanky, bookish and accident-prone—begins her academy internship at their HQ; a sprawling building wedged between dimensions. Here she must administrate creatures of myth and legend, match wits with ancient gods, and battle institutionalised sexism.
But when an old enemy rises and mythical creatures begin infiltrating the human realm, it’s up to the academy’s newest recruits to help them face their greatest challenge. So, keep calm, stiffen those upper lips, and put the kettle on, because you’re about to witness… mything in action!
Project Charon 2: Originator
by Morton Blake
Both stations they can visit are in pirate hands. They have to make a toss-up which would be the safest. They choose the bigger station.
But while they’re in the dock, trying very hard not to be noticed until they can negotiate the ridiculous supply wait times before they leave again, Tina finds out that her daughter Evelle is a prisoner at the station.
Trying to free her brings Tina much closer to the pirates than she ever wanted to get.
Realm of Ice
by Angela J. Ford
The shifters of the mountains are haunted, cursed, with a plague that turns them into bloodthirsty, wild beasts.
To combat the curse, Lord Nodin—self-proclaimed leader of the shifters—blackmails Tor Lir and Citrine into helping him save his people.
During the onset of winter they travel to Stronghold, which lies deep in the Cascade Mountains.
But the moment Tor Lir and Citrine enter the land of ice and snow, doom haunts their steps.
The shifters have many enemies, and it turns out Lord Nodin was not entirely forthcoming.
Faced with treacherous adversaries, dangerous alliances, and twisted lies, Tor Lir and Citrine are forced to forget their values and face the darkness inside their souls.
The Shadowverse: A YA Sci-Fi Superhero Adventure

During the spectacular intergalactic journey, the team must join forces to reclaim their friend and stop a sinister scheme devised against humanity by Titan and his vast empire. The multiverse-spanning, millennia in the making conflict for the soul of reality is set in motion, but even if the group prevails, they risk losing what it means to be human.
