Sunrise Over Shippo: A Salvage Title Universe Novel (The Asur Trilogy Book 1)

About Sunrise Over Shippo: A Salvage Title Universe Novel (The Asur Trilogy Book 1):

How did it all go so bad?

All Kailey Jackson ever wanted to do was study the lost civilization of the Asur in peace. When she proposed an archaeological investigation into the ruins on Shippo, home of the fox-like Kitsoonay who raised her, she had no idea the infamous Badar Syndicate was funding the dig, or that they would use it as a cover to invade her world.

Now, Shippo is under attack, and Kailey and her Kitsoonay sister, Jinx, barely escaped the Syndicate with the help of the Lancers mercenary unit. The Lancers are going to take the planet back for them, but they can’t go in blind. Kailey, feeling responsible for the attack, volunteers to lead the scout mission back to Shippo.

The Syndicate is expecting her return, after all, one way or another. So what if it puts her life in danger? So what if she isn’t a fighter? Kailey is willing to do whatever it takes to fix what she has broken, even if it means putting herself back in the hands of the very organization killing her people.

Because sometimes… sometimes you have to fight to protect what you love.

The Last Stand (The Guardian Covenant Book 1)

About The Last Stand (The Guardian Covenant Book 1):

One last chance to save the world!

When the first asteroid was spotted heading toward Earth, no one thought much about it. But then a second one was found, and then a whole string. One might have been happenstance… but thirteen was enemy action!

But who was responsible for them? With asteroids bearing down on the U.S., China, and Russia, all the nations that could have done it were unlikely to have been the ones who actually caused the apocalypse headed toward Earth.

It was bad when the asteroids began hitting the planet, devastating the areas where they fell… but when 35-meter-tall monsters began climbing out of the impact craters, things quickly became far, far worse. And when they were found to be immune to most conventional weapons, everything went completely into the toilet.

With the alien hordes dominating the land and sky, though, humanity did what it did best—it created the Guardians, massive mecha that were able to take the battle to the aliens, and rushed them into production. But with four continents already about to fall, there was just one question—would they make a difference?

When Reow is implicated in killing the Depik Governor, though, her clan is declared anathema. Her four offspring are placed under interdict—they are to be killed on sight—and Del, Flame, Blade, and Death must flee with their molly, Susa.

Fusion

About Fusion:

I am not crazy. Elm Cove really did exist. I know it did. I remember it. I went there when I was just a young boy. It existed in this time stream. I’m sure of it… I am Dr. Mike Phillips, Ph.D. I am not some crazy conspiracy theorist. I am as sane and rational a person as you are. Twenty years ago, when I was just a young boy, I was caught up in an alien insurrection happening right here on Earth, but I was the only person that saw anything, and I was just a young boy at the time. They shot Kasia’s mother and took little Kasia away.

No one believed me. I was just a kid, they said. It was all just a bad dream they told me, but it wasn’t. Even so, my life went on, but I was never the same. Memories of that night faded, but something about me had changed forever. From that day on, I was like a stranger in a strange land. I was no longer like everyone else, and it was as if everyone around me knew that but me.
It took twenty years for my life to fall apart and come to this. All of my success was empty. It took the same twenty years for my Kasia to reach across the vastness of space and time to find me. She was the one who brought me back to Elm Cove. She was the one who helped me find the memories of what had happened. She and Lilly brought me back into that interplanetary alien intrigue. It was not like a suspension of disbelief, but as if reality had been restored to me. This intrigue has taken me in like a lost child, and I have become an integral part of it… so now I find my life in peril.
Agents of the Kiiahni High Command could close in on me at any time. In order to save Kasia’s mother, I must succeed where physicists a million years more advanced than humans have failed. I have to see what they did not. My only advantage is that I think like a human, not a kiiahn. At least I hope so. But then it got even worse; then I found out that the future of all life on Earth was at risk.
As unbelievable as this sounds, the very same intelligent species that lit the flame of mankind over two-hundred thousand years ago was about to end us as an experiment gone wrong. Humans were far too competitive and aggressive. They say that the truth will set you free, but does it really?
I am not crazy. Elm Cove really did exist. I cannot save you. Only you can save you, but to do that you must get the book to see all of the symbols.

The Shattered Stars: Breach of Contract

About The Shattered Stars: Breach of Contract:

Bobby B is given a choice: death or the Army. His choice leads him to become a Timer – a group of soldiers so disposable that only about 10% survive a ten year tour. Because the corporations that run society value property more than life, they don’t even give them real bullets. Timers are only issued plastic flechettes so they don’t damage precious buildings and equipment. Bobby and a few other Timers join together to make their own squad, Beebi’s Basteds, which does things their own unorthodox way but still manages to keep them alive.

As the missions get harder, so do the men. They work their way up the military ranks faster than ever – giving their elite squad extra attention – good and bad. As they gear up for their biggest mission yet, none of the Basteds could imagine where their squad would end up – space.

A military science-fiction thriller that will keep you glued to the pages. Breach of Contract – The Shattered Stars is only book one in a riveting new series by accomplished author Vance Huxley.
