“A thrilling and imaginative science fiction novel that is sure to capture the reader’s attention.”
In 2019, two mysterious spheres crash-land on Earth—one in a small town in the UK, and the other in Manitoba, Canada.
Everything and everyone in a twenty-mile proximity of the spheres is suddenly frozen in time due to some sort of protective anomaly, leaving over a thousand square miles in the UK and Canada simply cut off from the rest of the world.
Governments on both sides of the pond have no clue as to the nature of these huge anomalies or who is responsible for them. Soon, a race ensues around the clock to try to figure out what they are and how to free the people trapped inside.
Meanwhile, one young woman in Canada, Amber, and one young man in the UK, Daniel, are seemingly the only ones unaffected inside the anomalies. They are inexplicably drawn to the spheres, passing their frozen family and friends along the way.
As they approach, they are transported into the future to an advanced civilization living on a strange dark world inside a black hole.
When the leaders on this alien planet tell Amber and Daniel they will not be returned home, they must either accept their new life willingly or risk being imprisoned forever—until another race inside the volatile Dark Space system reaches out to them with another option. Together, the two must decide whether they will risk their lives in exchange for a small chance to get back home.

About Ancient Civilizations – Book 1 of Lamentations and Magic:
Fans of Indiana Jones, Stargate, and Edgar Rice Burroughs will enjoy Ancient Civilizations the most. However, the fast-paced action, unexpected twists, and great cast of characters should appeal to everyone. – Manybooks Editorial Review
History is but a shadow of the truth.
A jaded thief and an idealistic archaeologist form an unlikely partnership to solve an ancient mystery. Opposed at every turn by unknown forces, their journey takes them across 1880s Egypt in search of a lost temple to the other side of the universe, where magic is all too real.
Archaeologist Dr. Benjamin McGehee is facing new beginnings. Consumed with preparing for his first Egyptian excavation and raising a recently orphaned teenager, Ben never expected the enigma that is Louisa Sophia.
Being a foreigner’s bastard, Louisa learned early to take from the world before it took from her. Like a whisper in the sands of time, a stolen letter hints at the unimaginable:
In the wake of Alexander the Great’s death, his empire fractured. Fighting over his remains, armies of pretenders to his legacy maneuvered within the parched plains and canyons of the Egyptian Sinai. Elements of those armies vanish, leaving a mysterious footnote to history—a footnote that sends Louisa to Egypt seeking answers and treasure.
Joined on their quest by cavalrymen from the 13th Bengal Lancers, Ben and Louisa discover the impossible. A mystical artifact that transports them to the fabled Field of Reeds from Egyptian lore.
Caught in the middle of a war and hunted for their unique knowledge, the desperate Earthlings confront a world where magic is common and alien races coexist alongside dwarves, elves, and humans. All of which are descended from Earth’s ancient civilizations. Ben and Louisa must race to unlock the secrets of a long-vanished alien race or face the Lamentations.
Can they survive long enough to find a way home?
Lamentations and Magic is a cross genre adventure combining elements of alternative history, archaeology, sci-fi, romance, coming of age, epic fantasy, military history, time travel, and found family.

About Through the Gate: The Chronicles of Cornu Book 1:
Note New Edit
On the planet Cornu, humanity has found a way to escape the inevitably dark fate of Earth. Longer lifespans have reduced fertility, resulting in smaller populations and less rapid advancement. With significantly more women than men, the need to carry on the species has resulted in some marriages being between one man and more than one woman. Two kingdoms on the continent of Landia are now pitted against each other for the future of humankind. Nordia is a progressive and successful kingdom, while Porfia is a regressive haven of corruption.
King Leonades has his eye on Nordia, but the only path to controlling the kingdom involves eliminating its royal family. While war is almost unheard due to the untenably high cost of male casualties, assassinations, kidnappings, and other plots still exist. Leonades sets his sights on kidnapping the royal family and assassinating them. He hires a notorious bandit to set his plan in motion.

About ENTROPY: A Post-Apocalyptic Novel of the End of Humanity:
Our extinction is inevitable …
Not through some random apocalyptic event, but by the natural decline of the human swarm until its eventual demise. So says entropy in the second law of thermodynamics.
Bill Bartles is one of the manifold data washers from the Department of Receipt and Organization of New Content, or DRONC as they prefer to be called. His purpose? Locate new information, clean it up, and add it to the Infinity Drive. Or as he often quips: Find all the knowledge ever created by mankind, strip out the crap, and save it to a little black box, no bigger than a shoebox. That’s his brief, simple and sweet.
Bartles has it all: a captivating companion, an inner-city apartment mid-way up the tall-tower, and an imminent promotion. For him, life is great—except for his obsession with entropy and its promise that nothing lasts forever.
When he digs too deep into the forbidden archives of Aleph-1—the avant-garde CPU that controls the Infinity Drive—Bartles’ perfect life is shattered, plunging him into an unrecognizable world of blood-red wastelands, empty mega-cities, and receding oceans. A dangerous place inhabited by new apex predators, where the remnants of humanity struggle on the brink of extinction.
Now, locked in the fight of our lives against entropy, Bill Bartles must decide if saving the last of humanity is worth losing the Infinity Drive, and with it, all the knowledge of mankind …
In this stunning debut novel, McGinty brings us science-fiction at its best. Set against an ominous backdrop of desolation and decay, ENTROPY asks the question: with every trivial moment of our time here saved to file, can the human condition continue long after we’re gone?
Also available in paperback, hardback, and Large Print edition.
“I thoroughly enjoyed it. The end is mysterious and baffling, but at the same time dramatically satisfying. Many powerful and beautiful scenes. The quest for what is real and human drives the narrative.” – Alex Austin
“The City and the Thinker are a great change of track. I love the Thinker, wonderfully cantankerous and belligerent yet open to the relationship between his new-found recruit and himself. It’s this relationship that sets the sudden revelation but also carries it on the story so well. I liked the pace, the meter of the language. It pulls you along at a good rate and that is important to the structure.” – Jonathan Catling
“The story resonates on many levels, cleverly exploring the concept of entropy, our part within it, and how we try to break the cycle of order to chaos and chaos to order. There’s lots of interesting imagery, much of which has stuck with me in the weeks after reading.” – Scott Vandervalk
Themes: hard scifi, AI, cyberpunk, dystopian, post apocalyptic, dying Earth, end-of-humanity

Following the death of her Navy SEAL father in Afghanistan, Megan Lynch is packed off to stay with her grandmother in North Wales. That means a new school to go along with the new country.
“Go stay with your gran for a while, it’ll keep you out of trouble.” Megan’s mother said — famous last words.
In her mom’s defense, she could never have predicted the remarkable events that unfolded in the ruins of Flint Castle that afternoon. She certainly wouldn’t have known about the strange Welshman or the pendant he gave Megan. Even then, if it hadn’t been for the encounter with a local bully, Megan might still be wandering around the ruins of a thirteenth century castle, instead of a fully functioning one.
Her striking resemblance to the king’s daughter is initially her saving grace, but the inability to speak Norman French arouses suspicions, and she knows her luck cannot last. Thankfully, help is at hand in the shape of Hugh, the handsome young knight’s squire with a secret of his own.
Their friendship grows as they attempt to stay one step ahead of Hugh’s father as he tracks down his rebellious son. It is a journey that takes them across an oppressed medieval Wales in the throes of an uprising. It is a dangerous world of chain mail, dungeons, crossbows, lynch mobs and burning towns.
There are compensations though; unpolluted air, stunning scenery, imposing stone castles in their full splendor, and of course, Hugh.
Will Megan make it back to her everyday world of Snapchat, Instagram, and Same-Day Delivery? Will she even want to?
About Hell From Beneath: A Short Story by J.M. Wight:
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…
Humanity stands unwittingly on the brink of oblivion. The Federation has created a weapon of mass destruction capable of obliterating entire planets, but greed and corruption have made it fall into the wrong hands. One man, a former insider, takes it upon himself to sound the alarm.
In a race against time, he finds an unlikely ally in Zedekiah Wight, the charismatic and unpredictable president of the rogue Orion Confederacy. With the fate of galactic civilization hanging in the balance, Zedekiah’s visionary sense of justice will determine whether humanity has a future.
About The Prophecy of Zedekiah Wight: A Short Story:
If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
Mitt Harris didn’t sign up for the Federation border patrol to have his hands tied while murderers and child sex traffickers run roughshod over the Federation’s laws. Fortunately, he has a friend who owes him a favor—a friend who answers to no one but his Maker, and has no qualm about meting out justice where justice is due.
But Zedekiah Wight has more on his mind than merely doing his friend’s dirty work. He has a proposition for Mitt that will either make their friendship inseparable or lead to a parting of the ways. And because Zedekiah has no patience for moral cowardice, Mitt’s decision will be final.
About Bloody Justice: A Short Story:
The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed…
The hunter has become the hunted. A slave deal on the edge of civilized space has gone horribly wrong—for the bad guys. Zedekiah Wight has come.
To some, he is a madman. To others, an interstellar privateer. To the wealthy and powerful elites, he is a dangerous vigilante. To the weak and the powerless, he is both a savior and an avenging angel. But to the God he serves, he is an instrument of wrath:
“For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.” —Isaiah 34:5
In his zeal to punish the evildoers, will Zedekiah fail to free the captives? Or does justice take precedence over salvation?

(This book is the second in the Prophecy Allocation series but works fine as a standalone read. Get the first of the series for free at www.nickyblue.com/freebie )
Perfect reading for fans of Tom Holt, Terry Pratchett, Robert Rankin, Christopher Moore or Douglas Adams.
Why you should read this book:
It explains revolutionary insights into the nature of reality that debunk the myth of free will (probably).
It proves the multiverse has only two parallel universes (depending on your criteria for what makes up proof).
It contains 50% extra innuendo-based gags than Book One in the series. Some of them might be considered funny (again this is relative).
The author achieved a heightened dynamic tension not found in other books. He was heavily constipated during its creation. There may be a link. The author is no way suggesting that this makes it better than every other book ever written.
Warning: The book is written in British English. All British slang terms are helpfully translated for the international reader, along with a short explanation of why British people are a little strange.
What the reviews are saying
“Quirky, original, brilliant – a must-read!”
“A mind-bending, absurdist blast of comedy and action”
“Had me in stitches . Highly recommend!”
” Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy meets Pride and Prejudice and Zombies ”
“The author’s ability to write characters that are believable, different, and set in situations that are far from the ordinary, is remarkable.”
“If you get the chance to read it, please do. I gotta read more now!”
“A funny and intriguing book!”
“I highly recommend this to anyone who loves dark humour ”
” It’s the perfect mix of dark comedy + bizarre fantasy and is unlike any book I’ve read before. I laughed out loud multiple times and enjoyed the roller-coaster read. 5/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
