In this quick mid-month update, I have a new release from a fellow sci-fi author to share, plus some updates about my efforts to build a direct web store.
First up is The Eighth Continent by Rhett C. Bruno and NYT Bestseller Felix R. Savage (what is it with us authors adding our middle initials into pen names?). This new release is described as a Hard Science Fiction Thriller and it certainly sounds thrilling! Check out the cover and blurb below.
Also, here’s a timely reminder that the first three books in my upcoming series, Metal and Blood, are available for pre-order. You can secure Hero of Metalhaven for just 99¢ from this link. I finished the first draft of book #3 this week and am currently busy outlining book #4.
I’ve also done a lot of work on my new web store. Currently, I’m offering the Omega Taskforce series direct for just $11.95 for all six books, which is 60% off the price at other retailers. You can check out my new store here and I’ll link it below. I’d really like your feedback on the design.
I’ve also entered this bundle into a great Bookfunnel promotion, dedicated to authors who sell direct. You can check out all of those books at this link. Incidentally, I also added the Omega Taskforce series to other book stores, like Nook and Kobo. The box set is here and book #1 is here, though it’s much better value to buy direct from me!
Finally, I’ll have some exciting Forsaken Commander news to share next week!
Till next time, happy reading!
G J Ogden, Sci-Fi author.
The Eighth Continent
If you enjoy hard sci-fi then check out this new release from Rhett C. Bruno and Felix R. Savage. Kirkus reviews says, "This stellar near-future tale masterfully fuses SF thrills with an enthralling mystery." So there you go! The full blurb is below.
A lowly construction worker on the Moon is Earth’s only chance…
Nick Morrison's dream was to reach for the stars, but he never imagined that his destiny would lead him to the desolate lunar surface. Recruited by a daring startup to construct a lunar launch system at the Moon's icy south pole, Nick abandons his troubled Earthly life for a chance at something greater.
Little does he know that the company teeters on the brink of financial and legal collapse, stranding Nick and his team in the unforgiving lunar wilderness.Isolated and unsupported from Earth, Nick's team faces an uphill battle for survival. As if that weren't enough, a ruthless contractor at another lunar base harbors grand designs for both the Moon and Earth, and Nick's team stands squarely in their path.
Now, they must band together to thwart the impending conquest of two worlds in this riveting science fiction survival thriller.
HERO OF METALHAVEN
Check out the first book in my upcoming Metal and Blood dystopian sci-fi 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.
