Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity pushed into the stars in search of a new home. Jonah Freeman is part of a third generation stuck aboard a starship, eager for their arrival at their final destination: Omega. Only things are not as they seem aboard the ship, with secrets that go back generations bubbling to the surface, leading him into the darkest corners of the ship. One question haunts him, though... If they’re in uncharted space, why are there human artifacts? Their new home is not what it seems, and the secrets of the planet Omega threaten to rewrite human history as we know it. Running away from humanity’s problems only means those problems follow them, and it’s up to the next generation to save the galaxy. Explore the beginnings of the epic Andlios series, with Jonah Freeman’s arrival on humanity’s new home in Terminus Cycle, and his daughter’s quest to unite humanity and save the galaxy in Cydonia Rising. *** Andlios Beginnings: Books 0.5 and 1 is a boxed set of two full-length books in the Andlios science fiction space opera series. This ebook collection harkens back to the classic, epic space opera series like Dune, Star Wars and Hyperion, while perfect for fans of Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Imperial Radch, New Crobuzon and more. With complex characters and themes, readers follow Katrijn as she deals with the ghosts of her family’s past and the pressures of a galaxy’s future on her shoulders. She’s not alone, though, as Jace, Trella and more cope with their own place in human history, dealing with LGBTQ, collectivist and anti-imperialist themes. The series delves into the metaphysical, asking tough questions about capitalism, colonialism and racism that have plagued history and if we can still build a better future. Terminus Cycle focuses on the history of the planet Andlios, while Cydonia Rising is the first book in the series. Veteran Star Trek and Dr. Who author Robert Jeschonek describes Cydonia Rising as such: “Once this book unlocks the vast, rich, and challenging universe that Dave has conjured in his ongoing literary Big Bang, you will never look back.” Author Matt Saccaro touches on the different themes: “It’s a classical space opera mixed with some ancient Rome + medieval Scandinavia. A fascinating juxtaposition and difficult to pull off, but Walsh makes it work.”

Download or read book The Queen written by Josh Levin and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Biography In this critically acclaimed true crime tale of "welfare queen" Linda Taylor, a Slate editor reveals a "wild, only-in-America story" of political manipulation and murder (Attica Locke, Edgar Award-winning author). On the South Side of Chicago in 1974, Linda Taylor reported a phony burglary, concocting a lie about stolen furs and jewelry. The detective who checked it out soon discovered she was a welfare cheat who drove a Cadillac to collect ill-gotten government checks. And that was just the beginning: Taylor, it turned out, was also a kidnapper, and possibly a murderer. A desperately ill teacher, a combat-traumatized Marine, an elderly woman hungry for companionship -- after Taylor came into their lives, all three ended up dead under suspicious circumstances. But nobody -- not the journalists who touted her story, not the police, and not presidential candidate Ronald Reagan -- seemed to care about anything but her welfare thievery. Growing up in the Jim Crow South, Taylor was made an outcast because of the color of her skin. As she rose to infamy, the press and politicians manipulated her image to demonize poor black women. Part social history, part true-crime investigation, Josh Levin's mesmerizing book, the product of six years of reporting and research, is a fascinating account of American racism, and an exposé of the "welfare queen" myth, one that fueled political debates that reverberate to this day. The Queen tells, for the first time, the fascinating story of what was done to Linda Taylor, what she did to others, and what was done in her name. "In the finest tradition of investigative reporting, Josh Levin exposes how a story that once shaped the nation's conscience was clouded by racism and lies. As he stunningly reveals in this "invaluable work of nonfiction," the deeper truth, the messy truth, tells us something much larger about who we are (David Grann, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon).

Download or read book INTERGALACTIC BASTARD written by Dave Walsh and published by Author Dave Walsh. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The galaxy’s mightiest warriors laughed at humans entering their arena... until they met the bastard. Coop Sabre, along with his exploding barbed wire bat, Guy, has turned the galaxy upside down, taking crowds across the galaxy by storm. The brutal bloodsport of alien deathmatches was no place for the average person, but nothing about Coop and his reckless fighting style was average. With everything he desires seemingly within reach, an unwanted question pops into his mind: Is this really what he wants out of his life? The vicious cycle of violence, addiction and depression takes a toll on every warrior. It’s up to Coop to find where he belongs, or he risks losing it all. He is the INTERGALACTIC BASTARD. *** INTERGALACTIC BASTARD is an over-the-top cyberpunk science fiction adventure story built on a foundation with a lot of heart. Built on a foundation of imagining a future where humans unlock the galaxy and find dozens of alien races, we find ourselves outmatched and underpowered in the galaxy’s sport of choice: gladiatorial combat. No human could hold their own until former bouncer Coop Sabre smashed his way to the top. INTERGALACTIC BASTARD samples from the competitive worlds of mixed martial arts (UFC, Bellator, etc.) and professional wrestling (AEW, WWE, BJW, GCW, etc.). While there are plenty of combat scenes, the heart of the story revolves around Coop Sabre’s quest to build a family for himself and feel comfortable in his own skin, all in a futuristic, cyberpunk setting with evil corporations and all. Goodreads reviewer Kathy Wortham touches on the universality: “Even if you don’t like wrestling, SCI-FI readers will like this.” Goodreads reviewer Karen does as well: “Walsh’s Intergalactic Bastard may appeal to a Sci-Fi audience who are also going through personal struggles and enjoy a bit of UFC thrown in for fun.”

A semi-finalist in Hugh Howey’s SPSFC, Broken Ascension has been dazzling readers for years now. Scott from the YouTube channel Book Invasion had this to say about it: “Walsh crafts some excellent action scenes and tension in a high-stakes world while jugging the yin and yang of the characters.” YouTuber Ramsey Meadows says: “So far this is my favorite of the books I have read for the SPSFC and it was a great grow up fast because he has to book.”
