About The Fist of Memory

Amazon.ca | Amazon.com

A strange alien spacecraft suddenly appears in the sky in this electrifying, action-packed first-contact novel set in near-future Nigeria from award-winning author Wole Talabi

When a non-communicative alien spacecraft suddenly appears in the sky, global powers are thrown into turmoil.

But for Tope, a principled Nigerian assassin with a talent for lethality in the employ of the mysterious witchdoctor known as “Baba,” it’s all just business as usual. At least until a job goes wrong, and Tope is caught in the scramble—a high stakes game of power and politics for the future that is to come. Joined by Itumeleng, a South African astronomer plagued by mysterious dreams, they must find a way to survive, navigate their complicated pasts, and come to understand how they, and all of humanity, are connected to the alien craft before it lands and the world changes forever. But it won’t be easy. There are sinister forces marshalled against them, including a strange assassin obsessed with a single memory.

The Fist Of Memory is a first-contact thriller unlike any other; a meditation on the nature of reality, memory, and connectedness.

About 51%

Amazon.ca | Amazon.com

In a future where corporations own everything—including people—one murder could ignite a revolution.

Twenty years from now, the United States is completely privatized. The Big Six syndicates own schools, roads, police departments . . . even human beings.

When a young immigrant woman—51% owned by the syndicates—is brutally murdered, NYPD, Inc. Detective Juke O’Keefe and his partner, Crime Marketing Consultant Haylee Navarro, catch the case. Pregnant and broke, Haylee knows they can’t crowdfund enough from a dead immigrant to pay for basic forensics, let alone their paychecks. But Juke, with his old-school sense of justice, is determined to find the killer.

Their search for the truth leads them to Juke’s ex, Safiya Jones, a Resistance leader on the syndicates’ most wanted list. As the three join forces, they stumble onto a conspiracy designed to destroy the last shreds of American freedom. To rescue fifty-one percenters—and everyone else—from syndicate control, they’ll have to defeat the most ruthless, powerful AI in the world.

51% is a gritty, fast-paced thriller about power, justice, and what happens when everything—even people—can be owned.

Praise for 51%

“Matt Witten takes us on a hallucinatory trip into a dystopian near-future in which fire and police departments, once-public hospitals, and even streets have been ruthlessly privatized, services go to the highest bidder, and the indebted sell themselves to profit-making syndicates. Witten’s noir thriller moves at propulsive speed, intertwining beleaguered cops, corporate predators, underground rebels, and AI-driven supercomputers. It is a world whose seeds, Witten suggests, have already been planted.”—Fergus M. Bordewich, award-winning author of Klan War

“Matt Witten’s 51% is a thrilling and adventurous glimpse into an all-too-possible, terrifying future, with characters full of heart who fight for justice against the cruelty of corporate-led AI. I couldn’t put this book down-read it now!”—Lee Matthew Goldberg, author of The Mentor and The Great Gimmelmans

“Sharp, urgent, and impossible to put down. 51% is the dystopian thriller America needs right now. A premise so good I wish I had thought of it.”—Daniel G. Miller, USA Today bestselling author of The Orphanage By The Lake

“Part cop-drama, part dystopian nightmare, and completely unputdownable, 51% draws us into a near-future society where everything is privatized and monitored. When a young girl owned by a syndicate is murdered, an officer in the for-profit NYPD, Inc., takes on the case-against the urging of his colleagues, as this investigation is not likely to pay out. A thought-provoking and propulsive look at greed, autonomy, and resilience in a world gone wrong.“—Allison Buccola, author of The Ascent

About Matt Witten

About Red State Mars

A sweeping epic of Mars’s fight for freedom—an unforgettable saga of war, family, and civilization on the red frontier.

For generations, the Newcastles, Mackenzies, Atkinses, Hyltons, and Hollinses have endured the hard red soil of Mars—surviving by individual grit, intense family loyalty, and free market trade. Scarred by World War III and Earth’s long, violent aftermath, they built farms, raised domes, forged alliances, and carried old grudges to a new world. Together, the Martians have forged a frontier society that is complex, ornery, and rooted in the freedom of the Texas soil from which many of the clans sprang.

Trade with the nearby Chinese enclaves brought prosperity for a time. But as Beijing’s reach lengthens, trade becomes tribute—and tribute becomes force.

When Chinese armored columns grind across Karl’s Ramp and convoys are torn apart in the Chaos, Mars is plunged into war. Robinson City’s dome falls in fire and blood. The Burrows holds out under siege until supply convoys break through beneath burning skies. At Lowell and Meltwater, city shields collapse and the red Martian soil melts and flows like blood as the Martian plains are seared with plasma fire.

The clans face an empire pressing down from above and rivalries tearing them apart from within. Senators brawl in council halls, mobs surge through the streets, and old feuds erupt—even on the football field. Out of devastation, a fragile coalition is born: uneasy, volatile, but fierce enough to strike back. Freightliners become fortresses. Drones become weapons. Family honor hardens into resistance.

From isolated domes to the vast Martian plains to the black sky above, war sparks into revolution and a desperate struggle to forge a nation on an alien world men now call home.

A vast chronicle of clans and civilizations, of families too proud to yield, too divided to trust, and too determined to be ruled.

Praise for Red State Mars

“Tough-as-nails pioneer families and a great sci-fi war story wrapped up in a huge epic of Mars’s fight for freedom. Loved it.”—Larry Correia, New York Times best-selling author of American Paladin

“Just plain cool.”—Kurt Schlichter, author of People’s Republic

“What you’d get if you cross-pollinated David Drake and Neal Stephenson, but Corcoran has tapped into a vein entirely his own—part hard science, part political saga, and all high-octane imagination.”—Rob Kroese, author of Mercury Falls

About Travis J. I. Corcoran

Travis Corcoran was born in the old America That Was. He was raised on a steady diet of battered Heinlein paperbacks, D&D and Gamma World, 10-speed Schwinn bicycles, Apple II computers, Ronald Regan speeches, and $1 matinees of 1980s movies.

As an adult, he’s been raided by the Joint Terrorism Task Force for spicy tweets, written two science fiction novels that have won the Prometheus Award for outstanding libertarian fiction, taken up farming, and been elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives, where he’s earned an A+ rating for opposing taxes and gun control.

About Aliens Attack!

Told through the men and women—and aliens—who experienced it firsthand, Dave Housley’s sci-fi novel Aliens Attack! presses us with the big question: what would you do at the end of the world?

Intertwining the depth of sonder with the honesty of reality, Housley brings us the truth of what an alien invasion would look like in each of our lives. From a woman who realizes the man she’s about to marry has a dark secret to a priest addicted to oxycontin holed up with a choir he despises, Aliens Attack! is pockmarked with wry humour, pop culture references, and authenticity.

Housley holds the mirror up for us and tells us to behold what we cannot run away from—ourselves.

Praise for Aliens Attack

“This book won’t just break your heart. It will burn it, blow it up, zap it like the titular aliens attacking. It happened to me – but I’ve also never been more grateful to an author for introducing me to characters—aliens, dads, clergymen, kids—who in the midst of crisis behave in such a poignantly, perfect human way that I’m still thinking about them, long after leaving them back on that burned out earth.” —Amber Sparks, author of Happy People Don’t Live Here

“Dave Housley is one of my favorite writers, in general, and almost certainly my favorite within the genre of the Dumb Idea™ (complimentary). By which I mean taking a premise that is on its surface too silly, or one-note, or gimmicky for Literature, and infusing it with humanity—the beauty and complications and bullshit and warmth and everything else that makes up being a real person in this world. In Aliens Attack!, Housley turns those talents toward perhaps the very Dumb Idea™ he was most meant to write, and the result is everything I could have wanted it to be and more.” —Aaron Burch, author of A Kind of In Between, and Year of the Buffalo

“When the shit hits the fan, you’ll still be you and what about that? Aliens Attack! is an existential coming-of-age, the truest, realist thing I’ve read in a hundred years. It should be terrifying but I found it to be enormously comforting. I don’t know why. Worthy of mention in the same breath as Ursula Le Guin but better because it’s an expression of the keen, funny, perceptive mind of Your Friend Dave.” —Laura Scalzo, author of American Arcadia

“What would you do—really do—in an emergency of planetary proportions? How capable, ethical, and heroic would you be? In this novel about an alien invasion of earth, Housley smuggles uneasy questions like this into our brains with wry humor and cleverly intertwining narratives. Multiple perspectives from both sides of the invasion equation show us calamity from the perspectives of everyday people (and aliens) who are vulnerable, fallible, and feel refreshingly real, reflecting ourselves back to ourselves.” —Tara Campbell, author of City of Dancing Gargoyles and TreeVolution

About Dave Housley

Dave Housley is the author of four other novels and five story collections, most recently The Other Ones, Looney, The Greys (with Becky Barnard), and Massive Cleansing Fire.

He is one of the founding editors of the literary organization Barrelhouse, and the primary organizer of the Barrelhouse conference, Conversations and Connections: Practical Advice on Writing. He is the Director of Web Strategy for Penn State Online Education.

About A Wobblegong and his Boy

Thirteen-year-old Remmie McNeal emerges from cryogenic sleep on a distant world, expecting a new life with his family—only to find the adults still locked in their reconstruction creches, silent and unresponsive. The massive underground colony hums with machines, but the only ones awake are kids like him: scared, confused, and suddenly in charge.

With his quick wits, a loyal gang of friends, and an enigmatic, ever-changing creature dubbed the Wobblegong at his side, Remmie races to uncover the truth. Why did the system awaken only children between five and fourteen? What hidden glitch—or deliberate secret—traps the grown-ups in endless sleep? Strange signals flicker through the shadows, robots behave unpredictably, and whispers of a greater mystery echo in the vents.

This gripping sci-fi adventure delivers heart-pounding exploration, clever problem-solving, unbreakable friendships, and twists that will keep readers guessing until the final page. What force controls their fate? Can Remmie solve the puzzle before time runs out?

About James Pyles

James Pyles is a retired corporate technical writer and computer technology textbook author. Since 2019, he has had over seventy short stories and novelettes published in various anthologies and periodicals, mostly by independent publishers.

About Firebreak

What would you sacrifice to save your family and your home world?

Lady Firebird Caldwell returns to the world of her birth, Netaia, intending to introduce her young sons to the noble Electors while her husband, Brennen, conducts a military inspection. When mysterious ships in distress suddenly approach the planet, the Electorate sends her to initiate first contact. Forced to work alongside a vengeful childhood enemy, Firebird uses everything within her power—even her passion for music—to negotiate, only to discover their alien technology threatens all the worlds she holds dear.

Facing ruthless betrayal, Firebird undertakes a deadly journey to salvage the mission. Brennen must make daring use of his telepathic powers to save human life in the galactic Whorl, including that of their young sons. But saving the worlds might force Brennen to give the order that would mean Firebird’s death. In a galaxy poised on the edge of ruin, survival may demand the ultimate sacrifice—from them both.

About Kathy Tyers

About Lock & Load: Valley of Fire Book 3

In the heart of the Fire Nebula, war rages across the stars.

Crown Prince Wolf Alexander-Morgan and Princess Mariella, forged in the crucible of combat and mech warfare, stand at the forefront of a desperate counterstrike against a ruthless empire that has already struck at their homeworlds. With elite squadrons, aging battleships revived from slumber, and hard-won alliances hanging by a thread, they prepare to carry the fight straight to the enemy’s stronghold.

But victory demands more than firepower. As hidden truths surface, old grudges resurface, and the line between ally and threat blurs, Wolf and Mariella must navigate treacherous politics, overwhelming odds, and the weight of their own destinies. One wrong move could doom their kingdom—or end the war in flames.

Pulse-pounding space battles, brutal ground assaults, and the clash of crowns await in the explosive conclusion to the Valley of Fire trilogy. In a galaxy where loyalty is tested in fire, some legends are born… and others are extinguished.

About John Van Stry

John Van Stry holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE). During his college years, he joined the United States Air Force and gained some flying experience. His early career included work in robotics, followed by positions as a Flight Test Engineer in the aerospace industry at Grumman Aerospace, General Dynamics, and Lockheed.

During this time, he acquired a cougar and relocated to Oregon. After leaving aerospace, he transitioned to the medical devices sector as a Quality and Test Engineer in a research and development group, then at Tektronix, before entering contracting, drawn by the financial incentives. By then, he owned several big cats, incurring substantial feed costs that necessitated a dedicated account with a wholesale meat supplier and the purchase of a van for hauling.

He later moved to California, and now resides in Texas. In his roles in quality assurance and testing, Van Stry has been fortunate to engage with cutting-edge technology, witnessing extraordinary innovations and collaborating with brilliant engineers—as well as a few challenging personalities.

Writing has long been a personal pursuit for Van Stry, with contributions to various fanzines and small press outlets. Upon receiving a Kindle as a gift, he entered the world of independent publishing. This proved wildly successful, and in 2015, tired of all the travel associated with contracting, he became a full-time writer.

About Full of Beans

Phil Beans has a lot on his plate. A dead professor. A cheating husband. A missing graduate student. A mysterious Umbrella Guy. And a suicide that doesn’t make sense.

For the ambition-challenged and exertion-adverse private investigator, Phil Beans, who is usually content to use his time-traveling skill working straightforward divorce cases, solving each of these seemingly disparate crimes seems like a lot of work, and (maybe) not worth the effort.

But he’s made promises that he must keep, so Phil sets off on his mission of discovering the truth about these crimes, and maybe even gets the girl in the end, as a bonus.

Full of Beans is author and scientist Mark Wilson’s highly engaging new time-bending novel in the Back-in-Time book series, set in Oxford, England. Tightly woven and a fun story, it is filled with eccentric characters, engrossing plots and subplots, and a detailed sense of place that will keep readers hooked from the first page to the last.

About Mark J. Wilson

Mark J. Wilson lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife, Carrie, but he was born and brought up in Reading, England, and his favourite place in the world is in the Cotswolds, just down the road from Oxford (where most of Full of Beans is set).

Mark went to college in Canterbury, where he earned a Ph.D. in biochemistry. He has worked in biopharmaceuticals for the last 35 years or so, but is now working in gene therapy, helping to develop a much-needed cure for Rett Syndrome.

He worked in Nottingham and Cambridge before moving back to Reading, them moved to the United States in 2009, living in North Carolina for seven years before moving to the DC area.

Growing up in Reading gave him a fascination with trains and planes, since, in his words, “there wasn’t much else there to interest a kid.” He loved hanging around at the west end of Platform 5, and when Concorde would fly over. His dad gave him a lifelong passions for astronomy, physics, chess, cooking, and model-making. He loves model trains, and over the years, in his spare time, has also been a watercolor artist and a music producer. He particularly loves electronic dance music.

About Mindweavers II: Attack

What if a virus could rewrite not just your biology, but your very sense of reality?

In Mindweavers II: Attack, Paul Michael Privateer delivers a razor-sharp, genre-defying techno-thriller that fuses the urgency of Contagion with the cerebral intensity of Black Mirror and the geopolitical paranoia of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. This second installment in the Mindweavers series takes you deep into a world where genetic warfare, ecological collapse, and cognitive manipulation converge into a single, terrifying threat.

When a bizarre mass whale stranding rocks the Atlantic coast during a global security summit, a rogue team of Interpol specialists uncovers a viral intelligence capable of mutating across species and consciousness itself. As the storm surges and world leaders gather, the narrative races through autopsy labs, military lockdowns, digital forensics, and quantum neuro-hacking, building to an explosive confrontation that asks: What happens when the next war is not over territory, but over thought?

If you loved The Three-Body Problem, 12 Monkeys, or the philosophical tension of Annihilation, this book will haunt you. It’s a mind-bending plunge into bioethics, machine sentience, and the future of human identity. Fans of speculative thrillers, climate fiction, and political intrigue will find Mindweavers II both terrifyingly plausible and addictive.

About Dr. Paul Michael Privateer

Dr. Paul Michael Privateer is a former Strategic Air Command missile specialist turned academic who crafts genre-bending fiction about the terrifying line between human and machine. A professor at Georgia Tech and Arizona State University, and guest professor at MIT, his commentary has appeared in The New York Times and on NPR, CNN, and the BBC.

His Mindweavers series draws on real-world expertise in military tech and data science to create a dark vision of genetic warfare. Privateer turned to fiction because he realized some truths need to be dramatized, not just analyzed.

About Quinto’s Challenge

For fans of Andy Weir, Blake Crouch, and The Three-Body Problem comes a bold, futuristic, genre-bending debut challenging the conventions of religion, science, and political power.

On the 100th anniversary of JFK’s challenge to land a man on the Moon and return him safely to the Earth, visionary US President Vince Quinto challenges America with an even more audacious goal: finding a way to conquer death before the century is out—by developing the scientific means to achieve resurrection.

As the 21st century draws to a close, advances in genetics, quantum physics, and artificial intelligence converge to make Quinto’s Challenge possible. The final breakthrough—hailed as the Theory of Everything—is made by Deeley Carr, a young, shy quantum physicist recruited to work on a top-secret US government project.

However, those privy to this highly classified science quickly realize that the power to bring about immortality is a double-edged sword—if it falls into the wrong hands, it would become the ultimate weapon of surveillance and control, a tool for the subjugation of all.

Advance Praise for Quinto’s Challenge

“Lovers of science fiction novels with a touch of political intrigue and suspense will find Quinto’s Challenge by Peter McChesney an enthralling read.”–Readers’ Favorite

“In Peter McChesney’s sweeping science fiction novel Quinto’s Challenge, a brilliant young outsider’s theories change the trajectories of physics and philosophy.” –Foreword Reviews

“A compelling SF saga that focuses on the humanity behind big tech.” –Kirkus Reviews

About Peter McChesney

Born and raised on the beaches of eastern Australia, Peter McChesney is a dual US–Australian citizen whose path has taken him from academia to corporate America—and now, to storytelling. His passion for writing began early, especially after his parents bought him an Amiga 500 computer, which he used not only for games but also to craft stories and fuel his imagination.

He holds degrees in Writing and Publishing (Western Sydney University), Law and Constitutional Studies, and a master’s in Political Science (both from Utah State University). Each of these disciplines now finds expression in his fiction—particularly in his enduring fascination with America’s founding era and the novel’s geopolitical themes.

Peter has worked as an adjunct instructor in US history and political science, with most of his career spent in business-to-business software sales. He also led several teams that trained some of the world’s most advanced artificial intelligence.

Quinto’s Challenge is his debut novel and the first in a planned series that will explore the ethical, societal, and existential consequences should science ever advance far enough to make human resurrection possible. The story examines the tension between spiritual ideas and scientific ambition, reflecting Peter’s own formative influences from both faith and reason.

He lives in the United States with his family and dog—and still enjoys gaming when time permits.
