New series! Plus massive 60% off sale.
Check out Metal and Blood, available to pre-order today!
I’m excited to announce that book #1 in my upcoming series is available for pre-order now, with #2 and #3 following soon!
The series is called Metal and Blood and it all starts with book #1, Hero of Metalhaven. This is a dystopian, post-apocalytpic story set in a mid-future science fiction world, reminiscent of Star Wars: Andor. So, think underworld resistance, dark and gritty action, and lots of tension and excitement… Oh, and lots of robots too!
Our hero is Finn Brasa, a worker from Metalhaven in the authoritarian city of Zavetgrad - the last refuge for humanity on Earth. He’s a good-hearted man with a penchant for pissing off the Authority, the oppressive rulers of the city. And, as you can imagine, things turn out bad!
Check out the full blurb below, but you can pre-order it right now, ready for the on-sale date of 30 November.

In others new, book #4 of Forsaken Commander arrives on Sunday 3rd September, which is only a few days away. This penultimate book in the series takes us to the lawless Venture Terminal space station and an epic showdown with Damien Morrow. It’s one of my favourites from the series and I’m sure you’ll love it.

Finally, I’m experimenting with selling some of my books directly, rather than restricting them to Amazon-only. I know that many readers prefer to read on devices other than Kindles and don’t want to be tied into the Amazon system.
If that sounds like you, then check out my new web store, which is offering the entire 6-book Omega Taskforce series for just $11.95. That works out at roughly $1.99 per book, compared to the Amazon price of $4.99.
Check out the store at this link and I’ll also link it below.
If this works then I’ll open up more of my backlist to direct sales too.
Till next time, happy reading!

HERO OF METALHAVEN
Check out the first book in my upcoming Metal and Blood series! Pre-order today!
In Earth’s last city one man will rise to tear it down.
Finn Brasa works the reclamation yards of Metalhaven, one of nine work sectors in Zavetgrad — the only remaining refuge for Earth’s population after the Last War.
Most of Zavetgrad live in fear of the Authority, who punish dissenters with brutal public trials that entertain the masses and tighten the yoke of fear around every worker’s neck. But as a rare ‘double-five’ Finn’s undamaged DNA makes his genetic material a valuable asset and gives him licence to bend the rules.
Then, Finn’s defiance crosses a line, and his privilege runs out. Sentenced to death alongside his brother in all but blood, Finn’s only chance to save them both is to kill the prosecutors who have been trained to turn their trial into a bloodbath.
Just as he’s thrown into the arena, a secret is revealed that offers Finn not only a way out of Zavetgrad, but a chance to tear down the Authority and break the chains of every worker in Metalhaven and beyond.
But to do that, he’ll have to still be standing at the end of the trial.
Hero of Metalhaven is the thrilling first instalment of the Metal and Blood series, a cross between The Running Man and Star Wars: Andor. It’s a story of struggle and rebellion against the backdrop of a planet ruined by cataclysmic war. If you love dystopian, post-apocalyptic stories like Wool and Red Rising, coupled with the action and imagination of Star Wars, you’ll love it.

GET READY FOR COUNTER ACTION
Book #4 in the Aternien Wars series comes out this Sunday (3 September) and it’s a good one. Check out the cover and blurb below and pre-order, if you haven’t already!
Master Commander Carter Rose has always been one step behind the Aterniens, but now it is time to take the fight back to his enemy. His plan necessitates him finding the mastermind of the Longsword officer program – a man who has not been seen in nearly a century.
Then out-of-the-blue, Rose receives word from Brodie Kaur, his former Master-at-arms, and an augmented soldier whom he could sorely use in the fight ahead. The problem is he’s supposed to be dead.
Travelling to Venture Terminal, a vast space station that has fallen to lawlessness, Rose must fight to contend not with criminal gangs, but with turncoat former Longsword officers who are out for his blood.
But with the help of a mysterious hooded figure, Rose and his crew uncover another Aternien plot, this time to wipe out the Union homeworld itself - Terra Prime.
A final conflict leads to a terrible loss, but also a new hope – one that could finally help Master Commander Rose turn the tide of the war.

Wow! Metal and Blood series sounds exciting! Preordered book-1.
Oh my! I still haven’t read book-3 of The Aternien Wars and book-4 launches on Sunday! Eek!
So many fabulous books, so little lucid time..I hate pains and meds!
Oops. With all the excitement about the new series and book-4, and my angst towards pains and meds, I forgot to thank you, Gareth. Lol. Thank you for writing fabulous stories, Gareth. 🥰
Also, I’m sorry for my outburst. I couldn’t hold it inside, especially today, pain is stabbing like, excruciating, barely able to walk..all this because of my degenerating spinal cord. So, please forgive me, if I sound negative today. I’m usually a very optimistic and positive person. ☺️
Have a lovely weekend, Gareth
Rest! 🧡🤗
