From critically acclaimed author Laura Bickle (Dark Alchemy) comes the first novel in the Wildlands series, NINE OF STARS. Longmire meets Patricia Brigg’s Mercy Thompson in this exciting new series that shows how weird and wonderful the West can truly be.
Winter has always been a deadly season in Temperance, but this time, there’s more to fear than just the cold…
As the daughter of an alchemist, Petra Dee has faced all manner of occult horrors – especially since her arrival in the small town of Temperance, Wyoming. But she can’t explain the creature now stalking the backcountry of Yellowstone, butchering wolves and leaving only their skins behind in the snow. Rumors surface of the return of Skinflint Jack, a nineteenth-century wraith that kills in fulfillment of an ancient bargain.
The new sheriff in town, Owen Rutherford, isn’t helping matters. He’s a dangerously haunted man on the trail of both an unsolved case and a fresh kill – a bizarre murder leading him right to Petra’s partner Gabriel. And while Gabe once had little to fear from the mortal world, he’s all too human now. This time, when violence hits close to home, there are no magical solutions.
It’s up to Petra and her coyote sidekick Sig to get ahead of both Owen and the unnatural being hunting them all – before the trail turns deathly cold.

The Federation has endured for hundreds of years, but now it is dying, killed by the corruption and decadence of the Senate and the rising power of military warlords. The shipping lanes are coming apart, the colonists are revolting and outside forces are pressing against undefended borders. Now, as one warlord makes a bid for supreme power, the entire edifice is on the verge of falling apart. Two officers, bearers of a proud military tradition, may be all that stands between the Federation and total destruction.
Admiral Marius Drake has fought for years to defend the Federation against the enigmatic outsiders. Now, he is charged with putting down a rogue warlord who has risen against the Senate and challenged its authority. If he fails, the schism will eventually rip the Federation apart. But with shadowy figures moving in the background, he knows it will not be easy to save the Federation from itself.
Lieutenant Roman Garibaldi, newly-graduated from the Naval Academy, knows no other cause than the Federation. Human unity is a cause worth fighting for. But as he faces the grim reality of interstellar civil war, and the exploitation of humans and aliens underlying the Senate’s vast power, he comes to realise that the price of the Federation’s survival may be more than anyone can pay.
But with the Senate suspicious of any competent commanding officers, purging the navy on the slightest excuse, their success may condemn them to an inglorious death.

It’s all merry and bright, unless you’re the janitor.
Triana Moore doesn’t hate Christmas, but tinsel tidying is terrible. When her bots stop vacuuming, Triana must find out why.
Like Santa up a chimney, she zips to the upper levels of the space station to apprehend the culprit: a mystery man with a magnetic personality confusing the computers. He can’t remember his own name, but he can access the most secure areas of the station with a smile, and not leave a trace.
To save Christmas, and the board of directors’ all-important holiday party, Triana must enlist all her friends–and a few enemies. When they look in their stockings on Christmas morning, who will find candy and who will find coal?
The Trouble with Tinsel is a novella in the Space Janitor series. It’s a stand-alone Christmas story, but makes the most sense if read after book 2, The Dust of Kaku

Reader Reviews:
?????????? An exciting and imaginative page-turner – “Hello World” is an absolute blast! It wastes no time getting you into the action and delivers a roller-coaster ride to a brilliant finale. Some really imaginative futuristic gadgets and concepts are the highlights of the book but the real star is the story itself- it’s a big concept but it is handled really well, with an ending that is unpredictable, but totally believable.
?????????? “An incredible read, and so beautifully written. Set in a futuristic Japan, Hello, World! explores the intricacies of AI and the questions that abound, and looks at what it means to be human, in all the beauty and pain.”
?????????? ”I read this virtually in one sitting. Really enjoyed this as-contemporary a take on AI dystopia as one could imagine. Definite nods to Blade Runner/Do Androids, Ishiguro and Haruki Murakami.”
?????????? “A great read – clever, entertaining, and of course topical!”
?????????? “Enjoyable futuristic romp… Just finished this in 6hrs lying next to the pool. Page turner! Fans of Richard Morgan and William Gibson will enjoy the neo-Tokyo vibes while themes of AI are explored in realistic scenarios with compelling characters. Highly recommended!”
ABOUT HELLO, WORLD!
Hello, World! is a near-term sci-fi action thriller where AI research and development takes place in Quantum Sandboxes which serve to contain the risk of opening the Pandora’s Box of Superintelligence . A global summit then takes place where a vote is passed to dismantle and ban all AI Research Facilities and Initiatives, as the risk to humanity is too great. This is known as The Shutdown.
Following the ban, a leading scientist who campaigned against the Shutdown is drafted in by a secret organisation to fight against what is considered by many as our species’ greatest mistake. This organisation has the money, the power, the technology and the facility to bring Artificial Intelligence to life.
There is one last Sandbox, where Superintelligence can be developed to its full potential, and where the future of man and machine hang in the balance.
The story takes place in London and Tokyo and is a race between an underground organisation and international government to unleash or to kill the potential of artificial life.
Hello, World! grapples with what it means to be human, the risks and opportunities that AI presents, and the relationships we form with one another and with machines.
And… it’s action-packed with lots of cool tech.
