Alien invasion has rendered Earth uninhabitable. Now, humanity survives in settlements on Mars, the moon, and distant space stations around Jupiter and Saturn. It’s all people can do to eke out a living from mining, salvage, and scrap.
Twin brothers Denver and Laramie Clayborne’s salvage operation is a small one—just them, their friend Marit, and their quirky ‘bot, OPAL. Their lives are simple and they like it that way, even though they barely earn enough to pay for Laramie’s expensive, life-saving medications. They make do, just like everyone else. It’s all they can do.
Until the day they find something big floating in the wreckage of a battleship graveyard. Something so rare, so precious, it could change their lives forever. Trading it would make them loved. Selling it would make them rich. But keeping it might make them heroes. They have a chance at a whole new world, if they’re brave enough to grasp it.
And if Mars doesn’t catch them first.

THE FLENSE SERIES DESCRIPTION
(BUNKER 12 companion series)
Hundreds die in a fiery train crash in northern China. A cargo ship smuggling refugees is lost to calm seas off Libya. Entire villages in Ghana are abandoned overnight.
Contracted by a prepper group to investigate a series of seemingly disconnected global tragedies, a young freelance reporter, Angelique d’Enfantine, uncovers a disturbing pattern: each event is preceded by the sudden spread of a mysterious ailment and is followed by the appearance of a man dressed in black and silver who witnesses claim is the devil himself.
Each event is more grisly than the last. As the risk to her life grows, Angel begins to doubt that the tragedies are harbingers of an impending biblical catastrophe, but rather practice runs conducted by a fanatical organization bent on global annihilation. Could her sponsors be using her to advance their own paranoid agenda?
THE FLENSE series consists of 4 titles: China, Iceland, Africa, and Cuba.
From the creator of the highly acclaimed epic cyberpunk series Zpocalypto from the WORLD OF GAMELAND

A quiet town. A brutal murder. A bartender caught in the crosshairs.
Kallie Brooks thought her worst problem was running out of limes during Happy Hour. That is, until she left The Lazy Gecko one night and found a young woman’s lifeless body in the back seat of her car.
In a town as small as Owhiro, Florida, news travels fast — and so does suspicion. But with the assigned detective miles away in St. Petersburg, she soon fears the tragic case is slipping through the cracks. With her best friend Tess and her ever-resourceful dad by her side, Kallie dives into the mystery, uncovering shady characters and buried secrets. But the more she digs, the harder it is to walk away.
And solving a murder is far more dangerous than mixing cocktails.
With tension, wit, and an unforgettable cast of characters, Bloody Mary, Bloody Murder is a gripping tale of deception, small-town intrigue, and one bartender’s determination to see justice served — before the killer serves up another round of murder.
