Oblivion’s Cloak by Dylan McFadyen
About Oblivion’s Cloak by Dylan McFadyen:
First Lieutenant Shaara was dead this morning.
Her captain is furious at her. She wasted company resources getting herself killed, and it’s coming out of her paycheck. Now, she’s sitting across from the first other human being she’s seen in six years. His name is Adnan. He claims to come from Earth—but that’s impossible. Earth died a long time ago. If Adnan’s telling the truth, he and the decaying ship the captain pulled him off are nearly a thousand years old.
Wherever he’s from, he’s Shaara’s responsibility now. Which is the last thing she needs. But it’s either that, or the captain sells Adnan into slavery. Shaara knows what that would mean. Most humans do. And something inside her won’t let her abandon Adnan to it: revenant memories, stabbed awake by the look in his eyes.
Facing those memories won’t be easy. It’d be far easier to ignore the feeling driving her forward. Far easier to let it all go to hell, and drift back to sleep.
Until a shadowy new faction starts stoking the fires of war. They’re looking for Adnan; Earth’s last survivor holds the key to unleash a terrible, indiscriminate vengeance on the galaxy that wronged them. Who they are is a mystery—to everyone but Shaara. Hard as she’s tried to forget, she knows them all too well. Which means she’s the only one who can stop them.
The question is: does she want to? Maybe the galaxy’s earned a little vengeance.

About Across the Floors of Silent Seas: A Short Story (Till Human Voices Wake Us Book 1):
Do mermaids believe in humans?
While working on a deep-sea diving assignment at the University of California, oceanography student Jay Bishop is dragged into a volcanic tube towards the earth’s core and certain death.
But much to his surprise, Jay not only survives the fall, he finds himself taken prisoner by a community of mermaids and kept alive as a science experiment. Confused and disoriented, Jay’s only hope to escape back to the surface is found in Paga, an elder of the community who believes Jay’s unexpected arrival marks the fulfillment of a terrifying prophecy.
With the community rising against them, Jay and Paga face dangerous choices — and their consequences — if Jay is ever to see home again. Will Jay make it back to the world on the surface? And even if he does, how can his life be the same ever again?
FROM THE BOOK:
“Are the others boring you to death, that you’re listening so intently to my remarks, darling?” Jay asked, teasing even though he welcomed her churlish chatter.
“People confuse boredom for stability, and stability for sanity,” she muttered.
Jay laughed. “Well, I’m sure some people would never assume we had a solid grip on sanity before we decided to become oceanographers. With several metric tons of water pressure surrounding us at these depths, I’m sure someone would be quick to question our mental facilities and their working order.”
“True enough, brother mine.” Noelani paused, and Jay knew she was likely rolling her pretty eyes. “And yours especially, since your sanity was barely there to begin with.”
FROM THE AUTHOR:
Enjoy this short story adventure tale set before Till Human Voices Wake Us, a science fantasy novel with an unlikable protagonist, sadistic mermaids, and the trip of a lifetime.

The Force of Nature: The Rock Band That Saved The World
About The Force of Nature: The Rock Band That Saved The World:
‘The Greatest Of All Wars’ would have decimated the earth and annihilated the human race. The earth wasn’t saved by your typical heroes, they neither possessed any superpowers nor resorted to violence, they saved the world through music.
Her stage name was Dreamer, she had gained that pseudonym on account of whenever she wrote songs she would enter a dream world of the past, present and future guided by two enigmatic beings. They had shown her a possible future where war had escalated so badly that nothing on the earth survived.
A sinister group that hid in the shadows wanted that war despite the devastating outcome it would bring. Their greed outweighed logic and common sense and their grasp strong enough to have a stranglehold on the government. Their influence on the public’s opinion was also as strong and seemed virtually unbreakable.
The rock band had emerged from obscurity and it was her guitar playing technique, her singing voice and the contents of her lyrics that had released the people from the secretive group’s clutches. It was especially her lyrics that irked the secretive group the most, she had somehow known things that common people were not supposed to know.
Yet, the secretive group would not loosen their grip on the minds of the people and it almost took a miracle to save the world from itself.

Two of All People: A Prequel Novella (Climate Change Endgame)
About Two of All People: A Prequel Novella (Climate Change Endgame):
The prequel novella to the new climate-fiction novel The Dying Party. The Dying Party asks: What happens when they tell us it’s too late, when we pass the tipping point of the climate change crisis and are forced to face a near future that will be increasingly hellish, and the end that will come within our lifetimes? The novel answers this with two two parallel story lines. On the one hand, we have six survivors in 2049, in a residential complex built into Newfoundland’s only mountain, Gros Morne – the last six people alive in Eastern Canada. On the other hand, we have a group of humanity’s richest and most powerful, the super-elite, trying to establish an off-Earth colony for themselves.
The novel shows in fascinating detail the complex brutality of what having to accept such a fate would mean for the social, political, and economic principles and structures that underpin human civilization; what it would look like on a global scale, in a local context, and from a variety of distinct personal perspectives.The Dying Party demonstrates that the ever-widening gap between rich and poor, the cause of so much injustice and suffering through history, will plague us on into the fateful future we now face. The thrust of the novel, however, is to illustrate the under-appreciated impact that passing the climate change tipping point will have on the human psyche – an impact as great as that of climate change on the planet, accelerating the deadly advance.
This is not fanciful speculation about the near and distant future, but rather the logical extension of the current course of humanity based on extensive research. The novel has the courage to depict the worse case scenario unflinchingly, that we may see the human consequences of unchecked climate change. It is, therefore, the cautionary tale to end all cautionary tales.

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.
