Image
  ⭐⭐⭐   Stars Book Released Blurb From Amazon.com bestselling duo Daniele Bonfanti & Valentina Kay comes a new serial novel of wild space adventure! Modifying bees, genetically and cybernetically, did not save Earth from Eco-Singularity. But the surviving few who made it to Ganymede rebooted civilization as the a covenant of humans and bee-colony superorganisms.

With her lover, the alien flowering plant-like Wyk, and her daredevil crew, they travel via the ridiculously dangerous icebreaking process, which implies moving as thought through the mind of the Sentient Universe.

  Primordia 1 - In Search of the Lost World 👆 From the Back Cover Ben Cartwright, former soldier, home to mourn the loss of his father stumbles upon cryptic letters from the past between the author, Arthur Conan Doyle and his great, great grandfather who vanished while exploring the Amazon jungle in 1908. Amazingly, these letters lead Ben to believe that his ancestor’s expedition was the basis for Doyle’s fantastical tale of a lost world inhabited by long extinct creatures. As Ben digs some more he finds clues to the whereabouts of a lost notebook that might contain a map to a place that is home to creatures that would rewrite everything known about history, biology and evolution. But other parties now know about the notebook, and will do anything to obtain it. For Ben and his friends, it becomes a race against time and against ruthless rivals. In the remotest corners of Venezuela, along winding river trails known only to lost tribes, and through near impenetrable jungle, Ben and ...

Tartarus’s reactor still burns in the aftermath of the Kraken’s fury as a reborn Jake Braddock steps out of the Remora submersible, with murder on his mind. He finds himself in the last place he expected to be: Diablo Caldera, the savage, Cretaceous-era island where the pliosaurs infesting the world’s oceans came from. Undeterred, the seven-foot man-reptile advances. But his plan to exact revenge upon the man who ruined his life and murdered the woman he loves runs into a brick wall. A wall with teeth.

And Jake is on the menu. If you're a fan ...

Image
  From the Back Cover William Chanokh is immortal...and he's trapped on the Galahad, an interstellar starship on a never-ending journey through open space. His only companions are Capria--mortal and in cryo-sleep--and Gal, an artificial intelligence, and the love of his life, with whom he spends every waking moment in the 'Great Escape,' a virtual paradise. After untold years living countless lives, Gal begins acting strange. Possessive. Violent. Paranoid. Positive that something in the real world is causing her to malfunction, Will attempts to leave the Great Escape, but he finds himself a prisoner. Guided by a voice from reality, he is thrust into a series of torturous narratives, each one designed to break his will and keep him trapped in virtual reality.

Infinite 2...

The Dig - Matt Turner #1 by Michael Siemsen

Image
  From the Back Cover A mysterious woven metal artifact is found at a paleontological dig in Africa. Mystified experts, confounded by the impossible timeline they get from traditional dating methods, call upon a stubborn young man with a unique talent. Matthew Turner's gift is also his curse: When he touches any object, his awareness is flooded with the thoughts and feelings of those who touched it before him. It is a talent that many covet, some fear, and almost no one understands. Despite being exploited as a child and tormented by the unpleasant experiences imprinted on him from the various items he has "read," Matthew agrees to travel from New York to the forests of Kenya. There, threatened by unknown enemies and helped by a beautiful but prickly ally who begins to understand his strange ability, he journeys back in geological time to make a discovery so shocking that it forces us to rewrite all human history. The Dig - Matt Turner #1 Siemsen's book conjures up an...

But certain factions see benefit in keeping Barsoom cold and dark. Dejah will need help, and she may find it in the return of her true love…JOHN CARTER! Dejah Thoris: Winter's End by Dan Abnett Available at Amazon -   https://www.amazon.com/Dejah-Thoris-Winters-One-Shot-2019-ebook/dp/B08SWKL69D Winter's End is a collection of short stories that feature the characters of Barsoom in various engagements and encounters. This book acts as a sort of filler for the upcoming battle with the Longborn.  Its been decades since I picked up a non Tarzan, ERB book (Edgar Rice Burroughs for people who don't know the creator of Tarzan). I was fascinated by the adventures of earthmen in the planets of Barsoom and Cosoom (Mars and Venus respectively), although the stories written a century back are somewhat dated and smack of wholly colonial th...
