Battle-ready factions converge above Darien, all with the same objective: to control this newly discovered planet and access the powerful weapons at its heart.

However, key players in this conflict aren't fully in control. Hostile AIs have infiltrated key minds and have an agenda, requiring nothing less than the destruction or subversion of all organic life. And they are near to unleashing their cohorts, a host of twisted machine intelligences caged beneath Darien. Fighting to contain them are Darien's hidden guardians, and their ancient ally the Construct, on a millennia-long mission to protect sentient species. As the war reaches its peak, the AI army is roaring to the surface, to freedom and an orgy of destruction.Darien is first in line in a machine vs. human war -- for life or the sterile dusts of space.

Book excerpt: “Warfare goes digital in movie and TV writer Drew Chapman’s fast-moving debut, a high-stakes thriller that pits the online might of China against that of the United States” (Publishers Weekly) as reluctant patriot Garrett Reilly races around the globe to avert total war. Numbers don’t lie…Not according to Garrett Reilly who, just two weeks past his twenty-sixth birthday, thinks he’s probably the best bond analyst at his brokerage, maybe the best in all of lower Manhattan. Garrett’s memory for numbers is photographic. But he doesn’t just memorize numbers: he sorts them, ranks them, senses patterns. As he watches buy and sell numbers float across his computer monitor, Garrett notices what nobody else can: that US Treasury bonds are being sold off at an alarming rate. Two hundred billion dollars worth. It’s a discovery that Garrett knows will make him stinking rich. But then the US military arrives at his office and Garrett’s life is thrown into free fall. Captain Alexis Truffant explains that Garrett has stumbled on something bigger and scarier than he could have ever imagined: the first attack in a covert war of unthinkable proportions. Garrett begins to link a series of seemingly unrelated—and very dangerous—events that start in New York, but continue to Las Vegas, Oregon, and all lead back to rural China. Suddenly, Garrett is the only one left standing between an unknown enemy and the very security of our country. The only problem? Numbers don’t lie…but sometimes governments do. “The Hunt for Red October meets Hackers…Ascendant is a must-read for international thriller fans” (Booklist, starred review). “This is a wild ride through the headlines of our times” (Kirkus Reviews).

Book excerpt: It is the twenty-third century and Elijah Harms is anything but ordinary. He, the one who has a special connection to light, came to New Haven City after his parents died in a conflict between naturally-born humans and the modified. War, hardship, and being the father figure to his younger siblings has made Elijah feel older than most twenty-year-olds. Despite his challenges, Elijah’s spirits are buoyed by his friendships with Honoria Eden and Endre Gran. One day as the three friends gather in the center of the city to hear who has been chosen to join the Sanctum, become a paladin, and push for peace with The Dominion, everything changes in moments. After a sudden attack by unknown forces robs the city of its baron, its peace, and many of its citizens, Elijah soon realizes that the world he once knew no longer exists. After he separates from his injured friends to check on his family, Elijah is pursued by evil mercenaries. He is their target, but why? When he is unexpectedly saved by the paladin of the Sanctum’s infantry unit, Elijah and his friends are led down a path none ever could have imagined. In this futuristic tale, a young man, his friends, and a paladin must band together to combat a group of malicious mercenaries intent on destroying their world.

Book excerpt: A young fleet officer and a Marine stand together to defend their colony in the continuation of the powerful and action-packed Genesis Fleet saga from New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell. In the three years since former fleet officer Rob Geary and former Marine Mele Darcy led improvised forces to repel attacks on the newly settled world of Glenlyon, tensions have only gotten worse. When one of Glenlyon's warships is blown apart trying to break the blockade that has isolated the world from the rest of human-colonized space, only the destroyer Saber remains to defend it from another attack. Geary's decision to take Saber to the nearby star Kosatka to safeguard a diplomatic mission is a risky interpretation of his orders, to say the least. Kosatka has been fighting a growing threat from so-called rebels--who are actually soldiers from aggressive colonies. When a "peacekeeping force" carrying thousands of enemy soldiers arrives in Kosatka's star system, the people of that world, including Lochan Nakamura and former "Red" Carmen Ochoa, face an apparently hopeless battle to retain their freedom. It's said that the best defense is a good offense. But even if a bold and risky move succeeds, Geary and Darcy may not survive it...

And those who survive must contend with friends and enemies newly imbued with violent powers. The kingdom of Saiduan already lies in ruin, decimated by invaders from another world who share the faces of those they seek to destroy. Now the nation of Dhai is under siege by the same force.

As the convergence between the two worlds strengthens, alliances are made and broken, magic and mayhem abound—and before it’s all done, at least one world will be shattered and broken.

Book excerpt: She won't like who she must become to keep her throne. When Princess Sybelle's father died, leaving the peaceful kingdom of Lionessa for her to inherit, she never expected she'd have to fight a war to ascend her rightful throne. But King Nero of Evrad plans to seize her kingdom-either through forcing her to marry her son, or threatening to destroy everything her father worked so hard to maintain were she to refuse. Within weeks, Sybelle's inexperience is mocked and her sickly brother is caught in a political game meant to terrorise her into giving up what is rightfully hers. Her refusal to marry dissolves the peace treaty between the kingdoms, and Sybelle finds herself on the brink of war, abandoned, without a single ally willing to aid her. Bit by bit, she finds herself being pushed into unleashing a wickedness that a Queen must be capable of if she hopes to rule. But who will she become in her efforts to keep her throne?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a monograph on astrology, containing the results of years of research. Among all disciplines that have attracted the attention of the world at any time, there is no one older than astrology. But until recently, this generation never seemed to care about the basis for this belief to be supported for so many years. In the past ten years—perhaps as a response to our long-repressed realism—a new interest in these old-world beliefs has emerged, and this book was written to satisfy this interest.
