Happy Wednesday, fellow reading addicts!

Hello from Texas! For a while, it was warmer back home than it was here, but it’s going to heat up into the 100s this weekend. Great way to be welcomed back home! At least I’m used to those temperatures.

It’s weird being in the last home I grew up in before I got married and being the only one here with my sister. And next week I’ll be here by myself. I’ve never been here alone over night. It will be a weird experience.​

There is an epic amount of books this week for you to check out in a variety of genres! Be sure to browse them below!​​​

Enjoy and happy reading!

The Unsponsored Chronicles Complete Series Boxed Set

A scrap-born rebel who fought off pirates with homemade bombs just earned a spot at the Federation Academy — and someone already wants him gone.

Peter doesn’t have sponsor money or aristocratic connections, just salvage instincts, a mismatched squad, and the stubborn refusal to cheat his way through a system rigged against him.

When mysterious sabotage starts targeting expensive gear and the Academy’s hidden agenda comes into focus, Peter realizes the real enemy was never the pirates. It was always the system itself.

One scrap-born rebel. One shot at something bigger.

When pirates attack his frontier outpost, Peter fights back with bombs made from scrap and desperate cunning. His improvised heroics catch the Federation Academy’s attention thrusting him into a world where sponsor money buys deadly advantages.

What happens when merit meets money?

The Academy’s neural-link training is brutal enough without mysterious “DLN” sabotage targeting expensive gear. While aristocrats like Rowan DuLain rely on House-funded modules, Peter survives on salvage instincts and his mismatched squad: Sage’s tech skills, Kiera’s coding genius, and Mimi’s unstoppable force.

Who’s pulling the strings behind the sabotage?

But why does sabotage hunt sponsor equipment? Who controls the Academy’s hidden morality tests? And when corporate Houses demand results at any cost, how many cadets will sacrifice integrity for survival?

From VR simulations to piloting massive doppelganger war-suits, Peter discovers the Federation’s training hides situations with a darker purpose. Sponsor corruption runs deeper than anyone imagined.

Can integrity survive in a system rigged by wealth?

The real enemy isn’t aliens but the system itself. Can a salvage rat’s determination overcome aristocratic privilege?

Will Peter’s squad expose the conspiracy before the Three-Strike system destroys them?

The frontier worlds need honest officers. But first, they must survive an Academy where integrity is the deadliest weapon.

The opportunities are waiting for those who … think different.

Included in this boxed set:

  1. Jury Rigged
  2. Salvaging the Future
  3. Elite Failure

Visitor

We are not alone. But he is…

After a mysterious explosion robs Scott Miller of almost everything he holds dear, one incredible discovery changes everything:

A crashed spaceship.

Deep in the Santa Monica Mountains, the down-on-his-luck wildlife ranger senses a path to redemption.

For his sci-fi-obsessed son Matty, their discovery is a wondrous miracle.

For Scott, it’s a smoking gun for the far-reaching conspiracy that destroyed his life.

But the greatest surprise of all lies within the wreckage:

A frightened alien, lost and alone, whose next moves may determine the very fate of humanity…

How do the Marines land on a defended planet?

You insert a pre-invasion force to take out those defenses by HALO . . . from orbit.

But the Aruban anti-space defenses are enough to knock out the landing craft. Those defenses have to be taken out, or the Curaçaoënaar invasion is doomed to fail.

It falls to Bravo Company of the VKC 1st Korps Commandotroepen to conduct a HALO from orbit. The United Federation provides the “duck egg” insertion capsules, but for the Marines of Bravo Company, their first jump is going to be a long one.

(This novelette takes place within the United Federation Marine Corps Universe.)

A Line in the Sand

The Naxli aliens have invaded. Citizens are fleeing. But not everyone. Jorge Oliva is determined to protect his neighborhood, especially his local VGW–Veterans of Galactic Wars–post home.

And he’s got a secret. That ancient, “inert” ME-444 Salamander, commonly known as a Widowmaker by a generation of Marines, that is hanging on the wall of his apartment isn’t so inert after all. A former Salamander gunner, he sort of “modified” the museum piece just a bit.

Working Widowmaker or not, what can one old man whose active Marine days were many decades ago do to blunt the alien soldiers’ advance?

But one thing’s for sure. Never count out a former Marine, no matter how old he is.

(“A Line in the Sand” is a short story set in the best-selling Sentenced to War universe and was previously published in We Dare: Old Age and Treachery by Theogony Books.)

Weaponized Math

Staff Sergeant Gracie Medicine Crow, United Federations Marine Corps sniper, is pulled off of the front lines to provide security for a meeting between the Marine leadership and the local population. Along with her new spotter, Lance Corporal Christopher Irving, this should be a routine mission. “Should be” are the operative words. Modern warfare, however, rarely discerns between combat and supposedly secure areas. When insurgents attack to disrupt the meeting, it is up to Gracie and her spotter to somehow hold off the assault until reinforcements can arrive.

“Weaponized Math” was a 2017 Nebula Award Finalist for best novelette.

This is not a full-length novel.
