Fleshbags


Book Description

Even before the explosion in the industrial area on the south side of the city they started showing up. There was something wrong with them. Anybody could see it. They leaked from every orifice and their stomachs were translucent bags showing rotting internal organs. But the ones the police had shot and killed were worse. Aggressive, fast, cannibalistic. The people still trapped in the south side of the city will fight, run, hide, and many will die. Can a young father get to his daughter? Can a husband and wife save a neighbor? Can a nurse make it home? Can an ex-con get out of the city? Can a cop keep control?

The Withered


Book Description

I always thought when the apocalypse finally began I would be swinging my baseball bat at the zombies with the best of them. I was prepped and ready to smash in some undead heads if the need ever arose. The problem is—no one ever warned me that I would have to dread the humans even more. The ones who still remember their names and how to put a gun to your temple when they want something. Do not fear the Withered Ones. Fear the ones still human. This is an omnibus edition featuring the first three books in The Withered series: Wither, Resurrect and Affliction. Wither After an epidemic swept across the nation, the government foolishly rushed the creation of a vaccine—but what was meant to bring salvation instead brought damnation. Human mutations birthed a new species, but Avery Whitlock soon learned that the top threat against her survival was not the Withered Ones—but the ones still human. Resurrect After enduring a kidnapping, brutal gang attacks and the death of the man she loved, Avery Whitlock believed she could survive anything—until she discovered that she was being hunted. The Withered had mutated and she had reason to believe that evolution couldn’t be stopped—especially when it was genetically engineered. Affliction No longer fully human, but unwilling to accept her fate as a flesh-eating zombie, Avery Whitlock abandoned the only place she could call home in order to save the man she loved from herself. Driven to prevent anyone else from suffering her fate, she stalked the doctor's responsible for the mutations—but with each life she took, her cravings amplified and her grip on humanity slipped.




Custodians of the Future


Book Description

Irena wants to fit in, and she needs the job, so she doesn't rock the boat. But discovering strange, potentially deadly stuff in Stockholm's wastewater knocks her fellow janitor squad members off the rails. Their whacky assumptions and accusations lead to mayhem, threatening the lives of their innocent targets. It's New Year's Eve, 2099. Can Irena get to the bottom of the wastewater mystery while keeping her teammates from doing more harm, staying out of prison, and avoiding the retributions of Luxembourger street vendors, Buddhist monks, and the dreaded Canadian Space Agency? ========================= “Custodians of the Future” is the first book in my “of the Future” Un-Series, with a touch of whimsy and my usual irreverent, subversive social commentary. This adult, hopepunk, grounded sci fi mystery-romp-chase will ring bells among fans of The Blues Brothers, Star Trek, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Red Dwarf, Alien/Aliens, and other iconic works of pop culture.




Jason and the Draconauts


Book Description

Fifteen-year-old Jason Hewes is a fairly ordinary kid, with fairly ordinary problems. He’s more interested in dinosaurs and fantasy role-playing games than sports, making him a target for local bullies, and his dating successes are best described as sporadic. He’s just another kid struggling to get through life in a small rural town in Montana. Nothing exciting or exceptional ever happens to him. The impact of something heavy crashing into the ground of the Hewes’ family farmhouse shakes the house and Jason’s life. Whatever hits the ground scurries into the barn, followed by a frightened but curious Jason. Jason has just discovered a creature out of legend; a beast which all logic tells him should not—could not—exist. Some kids might run. Others might scream or faint. Instead, Jason befriends the ancient creature, and in doing so learns an entire mythic species is emerging from a centuries-long slumber. Jason isn’t the only one to notice large, leathery-winged beasts taking to the skies of modern Montana. A powerful and long-forgotten evil is watching his newly-revived enemies closely. He’ll do anything to destroy his bitter foes and their new-found allies—allies that now include Jason Hewes. Paul Smith’s debut novel, Jason and the Draconauts is a witty, funny adventure story where an ordinary teen finds himself in an extraordinary situation, and in doing so, finds himself capable of performing the impossible.




Necrotech


Book Description

K. C. Alexander begins their SINless duology with a novel hailed by New York Times bestselling author Chuck Wendig as “sci-fi that’s slick, sharp and snarky...” A filthy city, overpopulated and underregulated, with even less mercy than a rusted pipe to the eye. For the saints that run it, it’s called home. Anybody with the right cred can score an upgrade, it’s just a matter of who, what and how much. Good tech, bad tech, big tech, micro tech, it’s all out for grabs. For mercs like Riko, installs give an edge every street fight, every corp raid, and every job demands. She and her team have earned their cred, carved out a patch of hell and live it up. That’s where Riko lives. Or she did. Until she wakes up in a laboratory, memory shot, body wrecked and tech on the blink. Maybe she slammed too many party favors in some lowlife bar. Maybe she made some bad choices to get there. None of that explains why she finds her girlfriend in the same facility—body going necro and tech on a killing streak. Caught between horror in front and bullets behind, she’s got no choice but to get out alone. And that’s only the beginning. Now Riko’s dealing with friends on the take, corporations on her ass, and enough rage to burn a soulless city to the ground if that’s what it takes. She’s fighting a war to tear off the scabs of a conspiracy that’ll consume anybody that gets near it—chrome and steel, sinner and saint. Just like it’s consumed her girlfriend. But rage is a hell of a drug, and she’s going to do more than just fight. She’s going to slaughter... Praise for NECROTECH: “NECROTECH crushes everything in its path. Brutal, unapologetic, sexy cyberpunk, it is a steel-fisted punch in the mouth.” — Scott Sigler, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Generations trilogy “Vulgar, vicious, and very very good! Alexander pulls no punches in this intense debut.” — Jason M. Hough, New York Times bestselling author of Zero World “NECROTECH bleeds with raw & unapologetic badassery. Riko is the cyberpunk heroine I’ve been waiting for, struggling with the truth that the tech we embrace to solve our problems just creates new ones, and no one has a chipset to fix humanity’s bugs. K. C. Alexander dials up the attitude, anguish, and adrenaline in this explosive debut, and I’m looking forward to Riko’s next run.” — Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles “Necrotech is a speed freak rush down mean streets of the digital, the modified, and the just plain crazy. It’s like razors for your brain.”— Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim series “One of the most interesting women protagonists I’ve read in a long time.”— Stephen Blackmoore, author of the award-nominated noir urban fantasy Dead Things “Scalding and brutal as a radiation shower, punishing as a street fight, and as sharp as a blade to the jugular, NECROTECH and its badass heroine, Riko, will grab your heart in a diamond steel fist and squeeze it to a pulp.” — Lila Bowen, author of Wake of Vultures

Hunted by a ravenous pack of mutated Withered, she stumbled right into the military’s crosshairs. Avery discovered a group of survivors concealed within the ruins of the once Grand Ole Opry Hotel. Although protected by high walls of debris and ample firepower, Avery began to suspect that the real threat wouldn’t come from the outside but from within their own ranks. When a perimeter breach forces Avery to risk it all, she will find herself flirting with death—and the horrific truth of how the Withered came into being.




Wolves and Dragons


Book Description

Wolves and Dragons: Bite Through the Night By: M. L. Fox Wolves and Dragons is an autobiographical/science fiction story. What happens in the book to the main character happened to the author; he’s just not a Werewolf. Being handicapped also helped him right some of those wrongs. He doesn’t only focus on werewolves and vampires, but in the world he created everything is real. The book shows you that even if you were raised in a terrible home, no matter what is thrown at you that you can keep fighting forward even when the world is against you. Wolves and Dragons is a wonderful book about the hardships of life but also the importance of friends and family.
