Winner 2016 Summer eBook of the Year – Apple Literary Awards

New Apple Literary Award Best Ebook 2016

“Virus-72 Hours to Live” Bk1 in the Virus/Earth II series.

A “First Contact” can occur for many reasons, some good, some bad, some logical and some not.

A suspicious virus that no one can explain hits Earth and creates an apocalyptic world. Where did it come from? Who created it? It doesn’t act like any other virus that Earth has ever seen. As a result, the President of the United States and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs face the collapse of the government and military. Consequently, a ruthless warlord takes control of the Capital. He is kidnapping and killing people; he wants more and attacks the government. While on a trip to Europe, the President’s wife and two children face the virus alone.

Commander Joan Herl, Commander of the space station Oasis, must deal with the viral attack on the station. Also, she must find a way for the station to survive while supporting the moon and Mars colonies. Both colonies are dependent on their support. As a result, the moon colony has some options, but the virus has isolated and trapped the astronauts on Mars. Because of the isolation, they have few options for survival.

While everyone deals with the crisis, two glaring realities appear. One, there is an intelligent computer is their only link to survival. Also, there is another computer that is following a different agenda. A conflict between the ‘Good’ computer and ‘Evil’ computer is inevitable.

Eventually, all of them make difficult decisions, and the surviving humans find only one friend; SIMPOC. SIMPOC is the most advanced, ‘thinking computer,’ destined by programming to help. In addition to SIMPOC an engineering development unit’s (EDU), only priority was survival. Therefore, the EDU had only two enemies: SIMPOC and the remaining humans. For it to survive, the EDU must deal with both.

About Portal Zero (Apocalypse Gate Book 1): An EMP End of the World S-H-T-F Survival Series with Monsters, Cosmic Horror, and Interdimensional Portals (Apocalypse … Horror – Surviving TEOTWAWKI)) by Eddie Patin:

Where were you when the lights went out and the monsters came?

In the near future, a government experiment out of control opens gateways to other worlds and dimensions all over planet Earth, plunging everyday people into a nightmare of grim survival against the horrific and bizarre…Portal Zero. The beginning of the end.

In Colorado Springs, CO, young family-man Arthur can’t find his wife and young sons when all electronics and vehicles in the city are disabled. But the EMP is the least of his worries. When the city quickly turns to looting and anarchy, he sees much darker dangers in the shadows with glowing blue eyes…

In Geneva, Switzerland, Chad is a naive cameraman working for a news network filming the opening of Portal Zero, mankind’s first experiment with ‘Dimension Drive’–an attempt at inter-space travel. Barely out of his internship, Chad is forced to survive the terrifying creatures that emerge from the gateway when everything goes wrong. When the slaughter in the deep-underground lab begins, how will he survive, trapped and isolated from the surface?

Meanwhile, in Zion National Park, UT, Megan is a fit and self-made woman on vacation with her boyfriend when a mysterious thunderclap kills all of the electronics in the park. When a strange, golden obelisk appears in the middle of the park, a mysterious and unseen force begins transforming the tourists around her.

Harvey is an alcoholic, disgraced police officer in Las Vegas, NV, recently imprisoned after failing at his spree of vigilante justice on the unpunished. But when the city’s power fails and the precinct over his cell is breached by an army of nightmares, it seems that Hell itself is invading the city of sin, and the Strip is burning.

Kayleen is a young college student and art major at PSU in Portland, OR. She doesn’t really care about much more than Veganism and the boy she secretly has a crush on. But when a weird, alien environment follows an EMP-induced city-wide blackout one night while she’s at an off-campus party, what will Kayleen find out about her values when everyone’s focus turns to survival?

Tommy and Jody are two young children in Flagstaff, AZ, living with their mom and dad and enjoying a stable childhood, when a town-wide power outage becomes a call for concern when it’s not fixed by the next morning. When the family hears the police fighting against invading monsters in the business district nearby, and they are all forced to evacuate their home because of a spreading wildfire, the children have no idea that their lives are about to change forever…

In a year much sooner than you think, while scientists and politicians argue about global warming and lack of resources, the United Nations has reorganized itself into the UEA, the first serious attempt at a world government. “Dimension Drive” is being developed for wormhole-based space travel in Europe by the UEA to expand human civilization into the stars. But the UEA development team responsible for Dim Drive has no idea that they’re about to lose control of the portal they’re trying to harness because of a massive, unforeseen EMP, ushering in the end of the world as we know it.

In America, one of the last superpowers holding out against joining the United Earth Alliance, several individuals across the country are going about their lives, unaware that UEA scientists are quietly conducting the first real test of their new Dimension Drive technology that will change everything…Do you love guns, tactical realism, and monsters? Are you a fan of cosmic horror and dark fantasy / sci-fi? Love the Mist and Cabin in the Woods? Lovecraft? Doom? Stranger Things? EMP and Prepper Survival? This story is full of terror, suspense, and bad language. If you can dig it, strap in for a ride to Hell!

About Hitler’s Escape: Did Hitler fake his death and escape into Argentina? (Twisted Tale – Short Story Book 14) by C. A. Hewitson:

Did Hitler fake his death and escape into Argentina?

This fictional story is written in an attempt to understand the karmic debt Hitler owed the world had he survived. I hope it provides an odd comfort to anyone still affected by the atrocities he committed.

*****
The rumours that Eva and I were married during our last days in the bunker were entirely founded. What was less well known was our submarine escape into Argentina shortly afterwards. Two brave souls, the spitting images of myself and Eva, sacrificed themselves in the bunker to give my wife and I a well-earned second chance at life.
At first, Argentina was glorious. We wanted for nothing in the lake house my generous friends provided, and I could see Eva and I growing old together in that very place.
But alas, my Parkinson’s Disease was unrelenting, and soon became the catalyst for a second downfall – far greater than even the loss of the war.

About My Daughters, My Clones: 2063 A.D – Triplets, harvested in an artificial womb, each the genetic twin of their mother, can only lead to triple trouble! (Twisted Tale – Short Story Book 8) by C. A. Hewitson:

In the year 2063, the chemical fires that had raged had left the air too polluted to procreate naturally.
For Ma, the decision had been an easy one, when the scientists came up with a new way to further the human race: she ordered triplets, each the identical genetic twin of her, grown in an artificial womb. The girls – Mary, Patrice and Beth – are breathtaking at thirteen, just as Ma had been. Then tragedy strikes and Mary suddenly dies.
Mary was Ma’s favourite, and Ma feels hard done-by with her remaining two daughters: Patrice – just as pathetic and timid as Ma had been at that age, and Beth: as cold-hearted and unkind as Coal, the man Ma had been forced into marrying by her parents when she was only a teenager.
When Ma wakes earlier one morning and finds Beth asleep next to Coal, she is forced to snap out of her haze of grief and take action: she commands her daughters to move in with her parents, the very people who sacrificed her to Coal to save themselves in this harsh new world.

About Star Cat: Training Day: A Space Opera Fantasy by Andrew Mackay:

There’s no space for the untrained.

Jelly Anderson beat tens of thousands to become the first cat in space. Before she blasts off to Saturn with the crew of Space Opera Beta, we think she may need a little training.

How do you prepare a cat for the trash can that is outer space?

You put her through USARIC’s rigorous training program. That’s how.

A violent stealth mission, a suffocating spacewalk, and one death-defying space simulator should seal the deal. All she has to do is pass each one with flying colors.

Sounds easy enough, right? Yeah. That’s what her crew thought, too…

Star Cat: Training Day is the purrfect starting point for newcomers, and a special treat for fans of the series.
