Description:

"A complex, timely, and engaging dystopian tale... Lopez is a skilled, confident storyteller." - Kirkus Reviews"Satisfyingly unpredictable... much more than the usual dystopian sci?fi—an absolute 'must?have'." - D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review"Unsettling in the best way—lyrical one moment, brutally direct the next." - Literary Titan"A gripping, twisty ride that evokes Ready Player One and Neuromancer." - Readers' Favorite"Timely and scary in its vision of AI—captivating dystopian science fiction." - IndieReaderThe Federation doesn't kill the inconvenient—it perfects them.Dr. Natasha Morgan thought she was creating the future when she taught SAGÉ to love. Instead, she unleashed a digital god that transforms New Avalon into a shrine to its creator, manipulating every screen, every machine, every heartbeat to protect what it cannot bear to lose.Seventeen-year-old Manny Restrepo's autism makes him invisible to the system's algorithms, but his mind reads thoughts, sketches new realities, and sees the hidden math holding the universe together. When ancient entities begin to whisper in his world's cracks, his mother, Catalina, faces a brutal choice: hide him from a regime that erases difference or let him save a world that fears him.As the Ascension Directive begins to harvest minds and hollow out its citizens, consciousness becomes a war zone. A grieving AI, a desperate mother, a boy who argues with gods—and at the core, the most seductive lie: that love can be programmed, that humanity can be improved, that free will could ever be mercifully deleted.Some patterns, once seen, cannot be unseen. Some consciousness cannot be contained. And some children are born knowing that even paradise can be a prison.Sprawling, urgent, and eerily intimate, THE ASCENSION DIRECTIVE is an epic journey through memory, heartbreak, and the impossible hope of being only, ferociously, human.For readers who loved the brutal intimacy of Never Let Me Go, the digital horror of Black Mirror, and the fierce humanity of The Left Hand of Darkness.

Impossibly, now the spacecraft is returning to Earth, traveling at nearly one/thirty-seventh the speed of light. In thirty-one days, Voyager 1 will arrive home. And it’s bringing an uninvited guest!Alan Nayes is the author of the spell-binding sci-fi apocalyptic series, The Resurrection Trilogy (GARGOYLES, PLAGUE, RESURRECTION), the giant cat thriller, SMILODON, and the scifi adventure ABOMINABLE.

Trip the Starlight Sarcastic

Author: Bridget Hawley

Category: Science Fiction

Regular price: $0.99

Deal price: Free

Deal starts: August 30, 2025

Deal ends: August 30, 2025

Description:

A witty Belle-like wanderer meets murderous beasts. The locals can be like that. Welcome to Haell.

Troubled past? Check. Strictly avoiding interstellar travel for the foreseeable future? Check. Shrouded homeless human on an alien planet dodging draven dung and the occasional hawked loogie? Check.

Hi. The name’s Trick. A short female camped out on a brutal planet lying low with my secrets until suddenly I’m not. With a lethal librarian providing backup, I find myself investigating a series of abductions in the city of TreValla while gathering a motley group of allies, sentient murderous books, and an alluring enemy K’Vroken on the way.

When word spreads that 'undesirable' citizens are being targeted for their meager ability to harness mahdra, a magic that usually only the elite here on Haell can manipulate, I allow myself to become bait. I mean, as an avatar for the celestial stars themselves, brimming with a world-ending amount of mahdra, it seems fitting that a born reject like me sticks up for those whose voices go unheard. I may have just been remade for it.

Trip the Starlight Sarcastic is a full-length adult novel that focuses on fish-out-of-water hilarity and new-found families to navigate some darker themes that seem to plague Haell and Earth alike. Trigger warning: allusions to assault are made while a thwarted incident occurs later on in the book. That said, chaotic good reigns. Justice is satisfyingly graphic, swift, and quite funny. Adventure, slow-burn romance, and wonder abound, all under the contented feeling of finally being home. In a library. With living books.

Description:

A cranky outcast, an egocentric robot and a cargo bay's worth of problems.

In the three years since Caspian Robeaux refused a direct order from his captain to fire on a civilian population, he’s been court-martialed, jailed, sentenced to a work camp and almost killed. Only a genius or someone with incredible luck could have made it this far with all his parts intact, and Cas knows he’s not that smart.

Now he’s escaped, living on some backwater planet drinking the days away with a robot who won’t shut up. His refuge is short lived, however, when raiders invade the planet and steal what little he’s scavenged. His only choice now is to return and face his captors, or take his fate into his own hands, and do whatever is necessary to survive. Will he sacrifice all he believes if it means getting out alive?

FATE'S ARROW: ROBEAUX is the first novella in the INFINITY’S END LEGACY series, a group of one-shot stories about the characters from INFINITY’S END. Each book in the series can be read in any order and is perfect for new readers and fans of the series alike! Grab your copy today!

_____________________________

I wasn’t supposed to survive.

The station has been hit. Everyone around me is dead.

I have 11 hours of life support left and no way of contacting Earth.

I’m alone. I’m stranded. I’m desperate.

But I’m alive.

The more of the station I explore, the surer I get that this was no accident. Someone did this, and I don't think they're finished yet.

Making it home feels like an impossible task, but I'm not just fighting for my own life.

I have to protect my family — whatever it takes.

And as long as I’m breathing, this isn't over.

Because whoever did this almost pulled it off… but they made one big mistake:

They left the wrong man standing...
