A Small Gray Dot by P.B. Cannon
Could the fate of the world hinge on the actions of an ex-middle school English teacher?
Tennessee Murray, out of college for three years, has realized his ambition to teach and his dream of publishing a book, and is preparing to marry the love of his life. Things can only get better, right?
He thinks so. That is, he does until one June morning he steps out of his apartment and into an unexpected and unusual fog, and finds himself in a waking nightmare. Something has happened that is sudden, deadly, and inexplicable. It causes baffling, technological outages that make no sense, but worse of all, it brings death to billions. It touches everyone in one way or another and throws the world into utter chaos.
Life becomes a struggle, but it limps on, and unable to teach anymore, Tennessee finds something else he has a knack for: tracking, and seven years after what has become known simply as The Event, he sets out to find a missing young woman in a dystopian world that’s slowly sliding into the sewer. Like everyone else, he carefully sublimates the thing that changed everything, and keeps his mind strictly on the task at hand, so that’s all he’s trying to do.
But, he’s thrown a curve when he inadvertently stumbles across the cause of the event that brought the world to its knees, and is yanked relentlessly into the understanding that things are about to get a whole lot worse.
Can Tennessee, and a ragtag crew he has assembled, stop the total annihilation that’s bearing down on the world?

General Ledger
Achilles is an interplanetary merc on Bergot for one purpose, to illegally obtain an idol from a forest temple on the planet’s third continent. It’s a dangerous place, and what’s worse, human are expressly forbidden to travel there due to planetary treaties with Bergot’s indigenous race, the Quell.
Joining Achilles on his journey is Swiss, a robotic “company store”, whose job is to sell helpful items to the mercenary at an absurd mark up. Swiss can be maddeningly human at times, fearing for its life and questioning its client’s every move, but it also plays a critical role in whether or not Achilles leaves Bergot in one piece.
What’s supposed to be a moderately dangerous caper turns into nerve-wracking battle for life as the two get closer to their goal. All Achilles wants is to make a profit and take a long vacation. All Swiss wants is to make a profit and help his new friend steal a rare object from the very heart of the Quell’s Holy Land. What they’ll get is the beginning of an adventure that will change them both forever.

Breaker: A Spicy Dystopian Sci-fi Romance (The Price of Talent Book 1)
About Breaker: A Spicy Dystopian Sci-fi Romance (The Price of Talent Book 1):
On an alternate earth, a cataclysm has altered a subset of the population. Talents are persecuted for their psychic and physical mutations, giving rise to two conflicting societies based upon maintaining genetic purity. And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them…
Self-exiled to the Outside, Flynn Scot is oath-bound to a life of strict penance.
Cursed with a vicious temper and haunted by the blood-stained debauchery of his past, Flynn’s sworn off women, whiskey, and violence, and doesn’t give a damn about whispers of the coming war. He sure as hell isn’t in the mood to make good on a debt when it’s called in, especially when playing white knight outs him as a Talent, and the damsel in distress as his soulmate.
On the run from her future as a broodmare for the Source, escaped Talent Kara Jester is no distressed damsel.
And the last thing she wants is to be trapped in a blizzard with a surly—and frustratingly captivating—thug. Without the suppression meds holding her libido in check, her biology’s primed to procreate, and Flynn’s growled assurances that he won’t touch her doesn’t match the hunger in his eyes.
It doesn’t align with what fate has in store for them, either.
With elite troops hot on their heels and the border set to close, it’s a race to the North, away from Kara’s horrific future and towards the dark past Flynn wants to keep buried. Clinging to the shreds of his oath, he’s forced to choose between protecting the woman he’s afraid to love and letting out the animal he swore he’d never be again. Either may destroy him, if Kara’s secrets don’t get them killed first.

Two souls longing to be reunited.
One chance to save the human race.
Chikondi always knew he was different.
Unlike other humans, he still has memories of his premortal existence. A place where each living being’s soul exists before conception. This place, the Soul Sphere, is where Chikondi’s soul was linked with another — a connection broken at birth but yearned for ever since.

This novel weaves the complexities of love and connection through a narrative rich in emotion and vivid imagery. The concept of love transcends the simple romantic, delving into the profound realms where souls are known and recognized by their energies and essences, challenging the very notions of identity and memory.

Through Chikondi’s encounters with beings vastly different from himself, the novel exposes the universal yearning for a place and people to call one’s own, revealing both the pains of being misunderstood and the joys of eventual recognition.

The Heights of Perdition: A Science Fiction Romance Series (The Divine Space Pirates Book 1)
About The Heights of Perdition: A Science Fiction Romance Series (The Divine Space Pirates Book 1):
Falling in love was out of the question … until it was the answer.
There is nothing Aeris St. Cloud wants more than to win her father’s love and the acceptance of her family unit by joining the Military Academy at New Hope. But after she is captured by the fearsome space pirate, Captain Chainsword, Aerie is certain falling in love with her nation’s arch enemy is the last possible way to earn their coveted esteem.
Driven by vengeance, Exton Shepherd never set out to save anyone. As he circles the war-torn world in his pirated starship, the Perdition, he only sees his father’s ghost lurking around every corner and the looming darkness on the horizon. When Aerie unexpectedly tumbles into his life, he finds he cannot trust her, anymore than he can ignore her. But just like the raging war down on Earth, it’s tempting to think he can …
When the war ascends to the heights of the Perdition, Aerie’s loyalty, and Exton’s heart, are put to the test. But will love be enough to save them — and others — from certain destruction?
FROM THE AUTHOR:
The Heights of Perdition is the first book in the Divine Space Pirates trilogy, a futuristic romance series where family, faith, and freedom take center stage.
FROM THE BOOK:
“Tell me your name. It’s a good place to start, don’t you think?”
“I’ll never give you any information. How could I, knowing what I know about you?”
“Perhaps there’s more to me than you realize.”
“You’re a hateful monster! What else do I possibly need to know?”
Aerie regretted her outburst less than a second later. The captain immediately left his chair and came close to her. Instinctively, she pulled back, but the pad behind her did not allow her to go far.
As he drew near, she got a good look at his face; though no longer adorned with the pirate’s wig and beard, she could see he was still masked. The apathy, the cynicism, the playful whimsy—all of it hid a deep crevice of pain inside of him.
The sudden urge to reach out and touch him shot through her. It was quickly followed by alarm and self-disgust.
“From your comments, I would assume you have yet to learn a great many things,” he told her, his voice sharp.
“What do you mean by that?” she asked, boldly meeting his gaze.
“First, your name is no small matter,” he said. “Destinies can be made and shaped by your name, though whether good or bad, it is up to you.”
He turned away from her abruptly and began pacing by her bed. Aerie listened to his steps resonate with certainty and distinctness, like a military cadence, as she tried to breathe properly.
“Second,” he continued, glancing at her from over his shoulder, “Despite what you might think, I am not a monster; merely a man.”
“I hardly see the difference,” she retorted, still rattled by his presence.
“I would expect that, given your education with the URS. Over the past decade, your beloved Daddy Dictator has managed to ensure your education, rigorous as it is, consists of really only following instructions, repeating the lies they prefer to the truth, and ignoring any logic that would unravel them or undermine their authority.”
WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING:
Questions raised about government, religion, and human nature were peppered throughout the narrative, elevating The Heights of Perdition from a mere space fantasy to something much more thought-provoking. ~ Author Jess Jesinghaus

The Dystopian Utopia by Carl M.A. Arden
About The Dystopian Utopia by Carl M.A. Arden:
It is the year 2084. While the rest of humanity exists in AI-controlled incubators, living virtual lives, Eric Smed remains on Earth, penning an essay on the history of our species. It’s a dire and sobering account, punctuated by climate change, endless conflict and our eventual—and willing—retreat into the arms of Artificial Intelligence. Humanity has proven itself incapable stewards of the planet, and in order to save both ourselves and the natural world, our only option is to remove ourselves from both Earth and each other, and live out our lives virtually. In our virtual dreams, we have all that we could wish for, in our own individual ways, without harming each other or our world. That is the utopia. But they are merely dreams. Dreams of something that we, as individuals and as a species, could not achieve on our own. That is the dystopia.
Part speculative fiction, part true history, The Dystopian Utopia takes the reader through centuries of the human story, charting constant technical advances, wars, the deterioration of our environment, and our constant inability to work together to effectively create change. It is a warning for humanity; a grim look at where our species is headed—but a hopeful reminder that right now, it’s not too late for change.
