Forgotten Erf by Layton Bushel

About Forgotten Erf by Layton Bushel:

A Sci-Fi novel with a sometimes quirky sense of humour.

Oliver’s home-made time machine accidentally transports him to an Earth-like planet in another universe, with no chance of return.
He finds a rural human settlement there, with some inhabitants being much older than they look.
They use their skills, ingenuity and whatever they can find there to make the most of what they have and discover the truth about their situation.
Some find evidence of ancient, highly advanced technology built into the planet.

A friendly technically-minded Neanderthal also lives there, who knows a lot more than he’s letting on.

There are some ‘high-tech’ bits in the book, but much of it ‘low-tech’.
Characters include an overweight ex-racehorse, a robot version of Elvis and various humans from Earths in other universes.

The book is no longer ‘new’.
It will be FREE on Kindle between the 23rd and 25th of May 2025 (inclusive).

The Survivors by Angela White

About The Survivors by Angela White:

Nuclear war devastated the world just days before Christmas. All governments went underground, leaving their citizens to fend for themselves. The desperate normals who barely managed to stay alive must now make a choice: do they join the strange, dangerous survivors in forming a more perfect union or do they kill every last one of them? One choice will save the world. The other will finish burying it under the nuclear ashes.

This is Safe Haven
“We offer food, shelter, and protection to all survivors. Does anyone copy? …hello? Is anyone alive out there?

“The end of the world has given humanity a harsh, merciless existence, where nature tries hard to push us to the very brink of extinction. Everything is against us, between us. Untold miles of lawless, apocalyptic roads wait for our feet, and the future, cold and dark, offers little comfort. Without change, there can be no peace—only survivors.

Siphon: Power Comes with a Price by Jason Fox

Siphon: Power Comes with a Price by Jason Fox

Apollo, a human-alien hybrid with the otherworldly and unwelcomed ability to kill with a touch, is born and imprisoned in Area 51. A moment of skin-to-skin contact with Apollo instantly turns a person to ash—and creates a massive surge of energy that temporarily ignites other superhuman powers within him. Apollo’s government jailers look to study and exploit him, but he escapes as a teenager and, for a time, finds the simple joys of living as a human before his discovery and recapture.
When dark days threaten humanity’s future, will Apollo play the reluctant hero?
Combining the mystery of The X-Files, the action of Independence Day, and the humanity found in the Superman mythos all rolled into a riveting tale of loss, destiny, and the price of power. Is our protagonist a man, monster, or hero? Perhaps he’s all three?
“Siphon reminds me not of traditional science fiction but of a 1980s Stephen Spielberg blockbuster, in literary form.”

TREK ACROSS A CHANGED LAND

About TREK ACROSS A CHANGED LAND:

A sudden change in climate has led to rising seas, migrations from coastal cities, crop failures, collapse of the insurance sector, economic ruin, and a disastrous geoengineering attempt. In retaliation, a Blackout War was launched on the U.S. resulting in the death of hundreds of millions. Though the worst has happened, a plan is in place to move the remaining population away from a nomadic life as scavengers to become a productive agrarian society. The plan, however, requires scientists, like George Reynolds, to trek across America’s devastated landscape to collect vital data that would allow them to predict the weather again.
In this book, George, a sarcastic and slightly jaded scientist, makes his third trek. This time, he brings along his grown son, Dan, who must come to terms with his anger toward his father for abandoning him to go off on past treks, and toward his grandparent’s generation for screwing it all up. Joining them is Dan’s girlfriend Jennifer, who is grappling with her own issues after being orphaned as a child in the ruins of the old world. Also tagging along is George’s dog Opie, who still has ‘puppy brain.’ Their mission and survival will be threatened by hailstorms, rain bombs, flash floods, wildfires, a Category 6 hurricane and roving bands of desperate and dangerous people.

About Stay Out of The Woods:

The trees seemed to grow taller and closer together, casting deep, eerie shadows that seemed to move of their own accord. Suddenly, Jared heard a strange, high-pitched whispering in his ear. “Get out while you still can.” The words were soft and raspy, and sent a chill down Jared’s spine. He spun around, shining his light into the darkness, but there was no one there. “Who said that?” he demanded aloud, his voice shaking slightly. The whispering stopped, and the silence was oppressive…’

‘The figure reached out and touched Kane’s face. He felt a searing pain as if his skin was being flayed from his bones. As the pain intensified, Jared stumbled backwards, tripping over his own feet as he desperately tried to escape…’
