SPFBO7 SFFOasis

Two brothers. One prophecy. A world in peril. When Kaiel loses his chance to become part of the legendary Daemon Hunters, joining the Bronze Guard mercenaries seems like the logical alternative. It is an opportunity to put his training to use and, more importantly, as the company is currently in the employ of Prince Alesandr, it will allow him to keep an eye on his younger brother, Darien, who's determined to follow his dream of becoming a Ciralys magic-user. But the broken continent of Athmay still bears the scars of the war between the Summoners some three-thousand years ago, and an unexpected battle with a daemon - a remnant of that ancient war - reveals the brothers' connection to a forbidden bloodline. Soon they find themselves on the run from the prince, daemonic hordes, and a prophecy that could break the world anew.


Onslaught

Onslaught by Bowen Greenwood

Exiled mutants and mind-controlling telepaths invade Human Space. Langston Wheeler is the only thing standing in their way. The Union of Human Space sent Langston on a simple mission: Hunt down a potential threat and neutralize it. But the threat is worse than anyone imagined. War is coming, and the peaceful merchant world known as Felicitas is woefully unprepared. Wheeler must survive the invasion and warn the Union that their centuries of peace are at an end. He has a past, though, and the leader of the Felicitan people makes overcoming it that much harder. As the Executive of Felicitas, Tia Dynn glides through a wealthy society that doesn't even remember war. When ravenous pig-human hybrids and mind-controlling telepaths blitzkrieg her planet, Tia leaves cocktail parties and poll numbers behind to become a true leader. Rival political factions make it harder, though, and so does the handsome stranger from off world. The only official path into orbit costs a fortune. Ray Pilak can get there for half the price, if the buyer doesn't mind the risk of arrest. His dicey relationship with the law is the main reason he's not involved with Tia Dynn anymore. When the war breaks out, though, suddenly a pilot who can dodge the powers that be looks a lot more valuable. Ray must grow into more than a smuggler if Felicitas is to have any hope at all. The three of them will discover what they really value, what they're willing to sacrifice, and who they really are. Human Space is at war for the first time in hundreds of years, and only Langston, Tia and Ray have any hope of stopping it. The Exile War series is 100% complete, with seven main books and a prequel novella.

World Running Down

World Running Down by Al Hess

Valentine Weis is a salvager in the future wastelands of Utah. Wrestling with body dysphoria, he dreams of earning enough money to afford citizenship in Salt Lake City—a utopia where the testosterone and surgery he needs to transition is free, the food is plentiful, and folk are much less likely to be shot full of arrows by salt pirates. But earning that kind of money is a pipe dream, until he meets the exceptionally handsome Osric. Once a powerful AI in Salt Lake City, Osric has been forced into an android body against his will and sent into the wasteland to offer Valentine a job on behalf of his new employer—an escort service seeking to retrieve their stolen androids. The reward is a visa into the city, and a chance at the life Valentine's always dreamed of. Finding the androids means navigating both pirate territory and Val and Osric's growing feelings for each other. And as they attempt to recover the "merchandise", they encounter a problem: the android ladies are becoming self-aware, and have no interest in returning to their old lives. The prize is tempting, but carrying out the job would go against everything Valentine stands for, and would threaten the fragile found family that's kept him alive so far. He'll need to decide whether to risk his own dream in order to give the AI a chance to live theirs.
