About Agents Of The Undertow by Jack McDaniel

Helen Small is journalist at the largest news organization in the Republic of Texas, and a survivor. Seven years after a plague – known as Pan21 – has culled humanity in half, the Republic is falling into a totalitarian state. Survivors – the few who contracted the virus and survived, though they lost all pigmentation in their skin and hair and eyes – are being vilified by William Chaste, the new Administrator of the Republic. An army of Chaste’s zealots known as the Grey Alliance has taken on the “patriotic” call of protecting the Republic from survivors, who they believe – based upon false information from Chaste – are still spreading the plague.

When a mob of Grey Alliance supporters murder a survivor, Helen finds herself in an increasingly hostile and fearful atmosphere as she attempts to uncover the truth and expose Chaste’s lies. All the while, she struggles with her own guilt at having survived the plague that killed both her husband and son. Amidst all of the bleakness she meets Francisco Stiles, an artist from the barrio in Denver who offers her a chance at a real life – and love. Average citizens and co-workers become more hostile towards her (and all survivors) and she loses her job because she makes people uncomfortable and fearful. Having lost everything, she decides to go to the barrio to be with Stiles.

Tensions escalate in the Republic and Helen is attacked and then arrested while driving to Denver. She is put in jail without any rights or even a phone call. Two articles by her appear on the Republic Voice website – written and uploaded before she was fired – questioning Chaste and proving he is lying. She and the virologist who helps her with the science are announced as terrorists for spreading false and misleading information.

Helen realizes no one knows she is in jail. No one knows where she is. At her lowest moment, she understands that she has to rely on herself to escape.

With her comm dead and charging, she drives to Denver. Chaste intensifies the lock-down of the Republic. The plan to round up survivors is announced and Helen is identified as the author of the articles and misinformation spread about Pan21. The hunt for her as a terrorist is officially on.

I normally write Science-Fiction (Chronicles of Mharc Series) but when Alexander Kino Beeler approached me about this project, I was jumping at it! This novel is taken from the events of an actual tabletop RPG. I had no previous experience with gaming, but as I took the raw events from the game and used them as the basis for this mini-series, I found I thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The Lore of this world has been amazing and beautiful to work with. I hope you will enjoy the series as much as I have!

About Distant Family: Chronicles of Mharc Book 2 by T.L. McDonald

Weary of the long and vicious Mogge war, Commander L’ Hyatt Tsaurine Mharc’s rebellious nature is further stretched by the sudden appearance of an antiquated Earth ship and its two pilots arriving in the system with no possible explanation for their presence. The embodiment of the Nihili need to satisfy curiosity, Mharc is driven to find the answer even if she has to risk court martial to do it. There is more danger than even she can imagine, and it will lead her, her loyal crew, her new Earth friends and the mighty Antares to certain destruction if she cannot solve the puzzle in time. And if there were not already enough at stake, she must decide if contact with a member of a secret race, resembling living gargoyles, represents doom or salvation. Mharc could have her finest hour, or her utter defeat as she risks everything on a belief once held to be myth.

About Harold Hardscrabble by G. D. Dess

‘Harold Hardscrabble’ captures the feelings of frustration and helplessness that many of us experience in our daily lives. These sentiments are embodied in the contemplative, quietly charming protagonist, Harold, who, like Walter Mitty, lives largely in his own world of thoughts and dreams. We follow Harold’s transformation from a dreamer to a man of action as he struggles to discover how to live a meaningful life in a materialistic world.

Harold copes admirably with the many disasters and injustices that assail him on his life’s journey; but when he is finally overcome by circumstances beyond his control, he is forced to take matters into his own hands to attain justice for the all the misfortunes he has been made to suffer. An indictment of today’s society, the novel is also a story of a quest for self-realization that unfolds slowly as it builds to its explosive climax.

‘Harold Hardscrabble’ reveals author, essayist, and critic of contemporary literature, G. D. Dess as a novelist with a natural flair for engaging storytelling and an impressive ability to bring the reader into a fictional world with real world identifications. Unfailingly entertaining from cover to cover, Harold Hardscrabble is unreservedly recommended.

About A Favorite Son

A Favorite Son is a modern twist on an old tale: Jacob and his mother are plotting together against the elderly father Isaac, who is lying on his deathbed, in order to get their hands on the inheritance, and to take control of the power in the family. He yearns to become the favorite son, but sees only one way to achieve it: deceit.

In planning his deception, it is not love for his father, nor respect for his age that drives his hesitation–rather, it is the fear to be found out. And so, pretending to be that which he is not–he is now ready for the last moment he is going to have with his father.

This is no old fairy tale. Its power is here and now, in each one of us.

Nathan Stewart hates politics. But that is what he finds on his return to Earth with the STAR GLORY and his shipmates. Politics even ruins his family get-together. All too soon he and his shipmates are called back to man the GLORY in a solo effort to hunt down and kill Empire of Eternity fleet ships, traders and passenger ships, all as part of the effort to force the Empire into pulling its fleets back to defend existing Empire stars and planets. But Manager Smooth Fur of the Empire has no intention of allowing the primitive humans from Earth to block his fleet’s expansion into Orion Arm. And he has some tricks and tech that he will employ to kill the STAR GLORY and any other ship sent against him. Nathan hopes his talent for anticipating problems and the solutions to them will save his life, the life of his fiancé and the lives of his shipmates.

Author Bio:
T. Jackson King (Tom) is an Amazon bestselling science fiction author whose popular series include the Vigilante, Assassin, Escape, Aliens, Brother, Empire, StarFight and Retread Shop series. Opening novels for each of these series are STAR GLORY, STAR VIGILANTE, STELLAR ASSASSIN, ESCAPE FROM ALIENS, EARTH VS. ALIENS, BATTLESTAR, STAR GLORY, LITTLE BROTHER’S WORLD and FIRST CONTACT. He is a lifelong reader of SciFi stories and his favorite authors have included Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Andre Norton. Outside of SciFi he has enjoyed the novels of Rudyard Kipling, Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe and Arthur Conan Doyle.

Tom began writing SF novels at age 38, when he discovered he had read all the Human-Alien first contact or encounter novels in his local library. So he decided to write his own, thanks to an overactive, very visual imagination. Those early years produced FIRST CONTACT and RETREAD SHOP. When the New York City publishing houses ignored his later novels because they had no Hollywood tie-in, he went to several small presses, then began self-publishing as an Indy author in 2011.

Several of his novels have hit Amazon super-bestseller status in Space Opera. They are STELLAR ASSASSIN, EARTH VS. ALIENS, ESCAPE FROM ALIENS and most recently BATTLESTAR, the first novel in his StarFight series. He loves that readers in Britain, Canada and Australia are some of his most loyal readers!

Before becoming a bestselling author, Tom worked in a radiocarbon lab at UC Riverside and earned an MA degree in Archaeology from UCLA. His interests in ancient history, ancient cultures and journalism got him several government agency jobs that led him to roam the raw landscape of the Western United States where he worked as a federal archaeologist and newspaper journalist. Those jobs paid the bills for his three kids and wife Leslee.

A funny thing happened on the way to normality. When RETREAD SHOP was published by Warner Books in 1988, he discovered he could not stop writing. It was off to the writing races and Tom’s many voyages of imaginative discovery have led to 27 published novels, a book of poetry, and a conviction that when Humans reach the stars, we will find them crowded with space-going Aliens. We will be the New Kids On The Block! This theme appears in much of Tom’s short fiction and novel writing.

Tom lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA and hangs with a group of smart and tolerant Westerners. Divorce taught him to smile a lot and to work at being a Nice Guy. Which earned him the love of his wife Sue. Still, he is pretty weird. Has been since fourth grade when he began reading SciFi. Since then, he and Authority have rarely been in agreement.
