Dying the first time sucked. Matt's trying to avoid a repeat performance.

For Matt, joining Earth's last line of defense was meant to give his life a sense of purpose. But being killed and reincarnated into the battlefield chaos of a game world wasn't what he had in mind.

The world map is made out of hexagrams, the units are semi-sentient and his opponents have a head start. As if that wasn't enough, there's no instruction manual for this nightmare.

Now, Matt’s going to have to figure out how to rule a Magic Kingdom at War… or face annihilation along with the world he once knew.

Still, it's better than his office cubicle.

Magic Kingdom at War is a tactical, base-building, crunchy LitRPG novella series by Tao Wong, bestselling author of the System Apocalypse, A Thousand Li, Climbing the Ranks, the Hidden Universe and Adventures on Brad series.

TERSON REILLY is never one to follow rules blindly, and it costs him.

Running illicit cargo on Algran Asta got him deported to a homeworld he doesn’t remember. A homeworld that doesn’t want him; a homeworld with more rules than he can stand. When he breaches the colony’s strict boundaries to rescue the crew of a downed spacecraft, his daring unwittingly threatens to expose Nivia’s dark secret—a secret the colony leadership and a powerful criminal cartel will do anything to keep.

Ignoring the rules this time could cost him everything…

Maddie is the NPC with attitude!

Plagued by old injuries that won't heal, she's enticed into accepting a deadly escort mission.

Of course, it's to cross the damned desert... and in the middle of Tromoal breeding season, no less. But the lure of enough cash to fix herself up and help out a close friend, too...? That's a siren's song she can't ignore.

Puatera Online is a harsh world, even for the people who have to live there.

Good thing Maddie is tougher than cured leather, because she may have just bitten off more than she can chew.

A down-and-out cyborg, his uploaded dog, and their AI-run colonial outpost in a galaxy far, far away.
Smart, fast and seriously funny, Killswitch kicks off a sci-fi adventure mystery with heart — perfect for fans of Murderbot, Bobiverse, Dresden, and John Scalzi.

Meet Jessie Coben, your typical cyborg dude — brassy on the outside, sensitive on the inside, 91.77% machine, but ‘all man’ (so he says).

Ex-army, he gets by as a trade consultant (aka glorified delivery guy) and occasional smuggler whilst evading a government hell-bent on recalling the 91.77% of him for salvage.

Oh, and he’s divorced (but still trying to be free of his bloodsucking ex).

So, when the mysterious and glamorous Captain Malika comes along with an offer he cannot refuse — an offer that will allow him to buy out his ex and start a new life — Jessie takes on the job. Get her and her ship to planet Jhapa unnoticed and the life-changing payout is his. The stuff of dreams.

But dreams, as they say, are an illusion and this dream is about to turn into a nightmare he never bargained for. Pursued by pirates and police, hunted by machine and mafia, what is Captain Malika hiding that has the entire galaxy after them? As the deadly conspiracy unravels, Jessie discovers the answer in the unlikeliest of sources… his own turbulent past.

Packed with humour, pop culture references and thought-provoking storylines, Killswitch kicks off the science fiction adventures of Jessie -- the Harry-Dresden-meets-Murderbot cyborg, his uploaded dog and their AI-run colonial outpost. Featuring unforgettable characters, witty banter, a twisty mystery you won’t see coming, and just enough emotional damage to keep things interesting.
