What’s worse than Australian wildlife? Mutated Australian wildlife.
The System Apocalypse has come to Australia, altering native organisms and importing even more menacing creatures to the most dangerous continent on Earth. For Kira Kent, plant biologist, the System arrives while she’s pulling an all nighter at work with her pair of kids in tow.
Now, instead of mundane parental concerns like childcare and paying the bills, she’s got to figure out how to survive a world where already deadly flora and fauna have grown even more perilous – all while dealing with the minutiae of the System’s pesky blue screens and Levels and somehow putting together a community of survivors to forge a safe zone to shelter her son and daughter.
It almost makes her miss the PTA fundraising sales. Almost.
Town Under is the first book in The System Apocalypse: Australia trilogy. It’s set in the same universe as Tao Wong’s The System Apocalypse and starts in the same time period as Life in the North but focuses on the changes in the deadliest of continents, Australia. Fans of the original series, LitRPG, fantasy, science-fiction and post-apocalyptic novels will want to take a look.

A new, fertile world. Exposed identities. Deep debt to a Mech Lord.
After escaping with the information they needed, Kyle and his team must plan their next move. While working hard to discover many things about himself, his shipmates, and his denti body, Kyle finds not one… but three stowaways.
An exotic female Kiain who helps him unlock his Kenosi potential, and a deadly Sitha mother protecting her young son. He doesn’t throw them out of the airlock, but pirate and monster infested space isn’t exactly the safest place to be raising a child.
Now fully exposed to their overlords, Kyle doesn’t hold back. He places a winning bid on several top tier Mechs in an obscure part of the galaxy. The final price leaves them with a mission they can’t afford to turn down: they need to rescue the daughter of the local Mech Lord.
Pitted against a heavily fortified base, they need to fight with everything they have to survive.
Spring Mutiny is book two of the eigh book Space Seasons series, a LitRPG sci-fi space opera set on another world with mechs, spaceships, levels, and… well… pure evil.

When a mysterious virus suddenly appears everywhere, the rich and powerful waste no time in stripping away citizens’ rights all over the world. As fear and confusion reign, a plan for human beings is coming to fruition. Soon husbands will be separated from wives, and children will be separated from their parents. Old people will disappear from the face of the earth.
For one adult called Frank, he will find himself inhabiting a tiny pod in a massive city. For company he will only have the four walls and the soft female voice of A.I. surveillance that will monitor his every move, his every breath and even every pulse of his heart. As Frank tries to understand more about this new state of affairs, he uncovers the truth: the human race is composed of two sub-species; and one of them has always fed – and still does feed – on the other.

“I gave ‘Belly of Salt’ a try in hopes it would scratch the itch ‘The Expanse’ series left since its conclusion. I got much more than I bargained for … cannot recommend it enough.”

War is coming – what would you risk to finally belong?
Episode 1 of the Belly of Salt series.
On the cusp of adulthood, Eva finally finds kinship in the orbital cavalry, where her penchant for violence and her relentless composure are not just accepted, but respected. Nonetheless, she can smell rot in the ranks. She is being ordered to kill people – a lot of people – and she can either ask why, or keep her new and fragile belonging intact, raising toast after toast to victory in the warmth of her barracks.
Meanwhile, Iskander earns a wage by hauling cargo in his robotic freight mech, a two-legged pile of rust and greasy steel that cost every penny he had. Employment, however, is not the same as belonging. Knowing that “real” mech pilots fight in dangerous, glitzy combat tournaments, he must either risk death by fighting in his decrepit mech, or stand aside and hope a steady paycheck overwhelms the immediacy of being alone.

Belly of Salt is a science fiction series that explores the absurd price of belonging. Eva and Iskander each struggle to shield their small, brittle pieces of happiness from dangers that are far beyond their control – dangers that may include each other.

Excerpts:
She had thought such fortitude belonged only to history’s strongest, hairiest warriors, whereas Eva had once injured her lower back via a particularly enthusiastic sneeze.
– Book 1, Belly of Salt
She was quiet as Iskander talked, silent in the way glass is silent as it lays on the floor after shattering.
– Book 2, Thread Cutter
Eva’s fingernails bent and then snapped in a fraction of a second, some ripping cleanly off, overwhelmed by the enormity of the deceleration. Her arm was laced through the straps of his gear, and she felt, rather than heard, a wet popping like a bubble in thick syrup, as the joint of one shoulder was torn from its fitted socket.
– Book 3, Barefoot Among Snakes

Nebula Award-winning author Vylar Kaftan weaves a dark tale of loss, regret, love, and revenge in the novella, Her Silhouette, Drawn in Water.
“Tense and gripping.”—Ann Leckie
“A moving tribute to the power within us all.”—Nancy Kress
All Bee has ever known is darkness.
She doesn’t remember the crime she committed that landed her in the cold, twisting caverns of the prison planet Colel-Cab with only fellow prisoner Chela for company. Chela says that they’re telepaths and mass-murderers; that they belong here, too dangerous to ever be free. Bee has no reason to doubt her—until she hears the voice of another telepath, one who has answers, and can open her eyes to an entirely different truth.
