Stories don’t get bigger than these!
Visions of doom herald a growing galactic evil in J. Dianne Dotson’s epic Questrison Saga. As humans and aliens come together to defend against the growing threat against all life in the galaxy, get ready for love and war, spaceships, exotic worlds, long cons and families lost and found.
In Gareth L. Powell’s latest, the Continuance series, the human race has been cast from a dying Earth to wander the stars in a vast fleet of arks. In Stars and Bones, we encounter scout ship Furious Ocelot, crewed only by Captain Eryn King and a snarky talking cat. When Eryn’s sister disappears during a routine mission, she insists on being part of the crew sent to look for her. What she discovers on Candidate-623 is both terrifying and deadly. When the threat follows her back to the fleet and people start dying, she is tasked with seeking out a legendary recluse who may just hold the key to humanity’s survival. In
Adrian Tchaikovsky’s new series, The Final Architecture, Earth was all but destroyed by the alien Architects. Many escaped, but millions more died. To combat the enemy, mankind created super-soldiers to combat the enemy. Then the Architects disappeared, and heroes like Idris were forgotten. Following eighty years of shaky peace, the alien enemy is back, conducting a terrible one-sided battle and consuming entire planets, and Idris and his crew prepare for war.
