Meet Rowland Hale: cyber-thief and captain of the Luck of the Draw, except his luck's just run out. A sure-fire bet backfires and now his crew's life is on the line as he faces first contact with two warring alien species locked in a death match to the end. Meet Toar Grithrawrscion: A big ol' bear of a man, his tough exterior conceals a bruised soul. He had it all once - a family, a naval career, the accolades of his people - but that's all been ripped away. Much like his home world, he is wounded, but he refuses to be beaten. When fate brings these two men together, they face challenges not just from without, but from deep within: an Allure that dare not be risked, but cannot be refused. If they give in, they fail - if they give up, they fail - and the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance. In Allure of Oartheca, Book 1 of the Oarthecan Star Saga, James Siewert brings us an epic 188k word love-song to the science fiction genre, and a new twist on m/m romance: high adventure, deadly, universe-altering peril, masterly world-building, with compelling and memorable characters in the furthest reaches of unexplored space. He takes us to vivid new worlds, and introduces heroes from very different backgrounds, each wrestling in very different ways with the universal question of what it is to be a man amongst the stars. Join the adventure in Allure of Oartheca, and discover how hatred and war are not the only ways to destruction. *****5 stars***** "Author James Siewert tells a truly epic adventure in this meticulously crafted and gorgeously penned space opera, delivering emotional hardship, thrilling high-octane action, danger around every corner, and steamy romance in its more mature scenes. For anyone seeking an accurately represented presence of LGBTQIA+ in their science fiction, you need to look no further than the authentic and non-gimmicky presence of Siewert's characters, who are beautifully drawn, realistically damaged by their difficult lives, and very admirable for what the plot puts them through and how they rise to each challenge." - K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite Review Advisory: this book contains scenes of explict male/male romance, sex and sexuality, is recommended only for readers ages 18+.

Not like I had much of a future ahead of me, though, without a rich family to pave my way or even pay for me to have a wife. Now, my entire ship's been captured. If what we've been told about the alien race is true, I'll never be seen again. I hope they don't eat me. Turns out the truth is far different than we were led to believe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Caitlin Feral, and I'm about to face my final Testing Day. My younger brother and mom hope I return: that I survive the tests (which is not a given) and that I am still a dreg. They want me to stay here with them to keep what's left of our family together. They want me to stay here, in the shadow of the Genetic Wars, with mutant animal attacks, protectors in faceless helms eager to catch us in the slightest infractions, and a menial work placement that's waiting with my name on it if I fail the tests. But that's not what I dream about. In my dreams, I can lift a bus. I can fly. I have to Manifest. If I do, my classmate Lilianne and teacher Mrs. Cranberry will stop their bullying, and I can leave the danger and the dirt and the lack of food and medication and move to Jupitar City to be adopted by a Supergenic family. That's the promise—if Testing Day doesn't kill me first. "I barely got out of there. They're not afraid to kill us. They're not afraid to kill you." That's what my classmate Normand said after he returned from his testing, barely able to stand. But he's soft; I'm not ... right? The Treaty will protect me, and the Supergenics can only test within reasonable parameters to find their own kind, but the terror and pain in Normand's eyes makes me sweat and my heart race. What if the rules have changed? And what if I am a mere DNA regular? What if I'm nothing like the Supergenic heroes I read about in the comic books they send us from Jupitar City? Today, I find out. And I do know one thing. I would rather die trying than be stuck being me for the rest of my life. DON'T BE DNA REGULAR. BE GENERATION MANIFESTATION.
