Flesh comes cheap in a machine world.

Doctor Rick Stenslandt has always advocated against the fusion of man and machine. But after a near-fatal accident, he is forced to accept ocular implants or go blind, end up unemployed, and without social status.

But something goes wrong. Now he remembers people he has never met before—influential members of the corporate elite that governs the world. And they have all been murdered.

Worse, it seems he’s the next target.

On the run from the police and a pair of augmented assassins, Rick seeks refuge in the infamous alleys of the megacity. But to protect the ones he loves, he cannot hide forever. Now he must figure out his borrowed memories and his connection to the victims, before it’s too late.

If you love cyberpunk technothrillers with settings similar to Blade Runner, rich with corporations, conspiracies, murder, and mystery, with strong elements of biopunk and nanopunk, with hackers and AIs, then you will love the entire Matriarchs – Silicon Gods trilogy.

In the wake of the cataclysmic collapse of the grand city of Altburg, heart of the Kingdom of Lochmeria, demons roam free in the desecrated streets. They hunt those unfortunate enough to remain trapped within the city walls, as well as those fool enough to dare plunder the vast riches left behind.

Prince Gresten Lochmeria returns to his fallen home after twenty years, searching for the truth. He embarks on a bloody journey to find the answers to his most burning questions. What was the fate of his brother, Prince Germund, and his father, King Gerath?

All that the young prince can be certain of is that in this haunted city, death awaits those who do not tread carefully.

Jordan Allen returns with his second book, Hollow Kingdom, following his first full-length novel, the post-apocalyptic sci-fi Mutagenesis: The New World. Hollow Kingdom is a dark fantasy action story inspired by classic sword and sorcery.

It is the dying days of the Age of Adventures and the Orc Wars have ended.

The Crown Pantheon, authoritarian rulers of Allspire, slaughtered the marauding Orcs by the tens of thousands and returned peace to the continent of Evergrad. But among the many half-orc bastards left in the wake of the war, one was Prince Ragoth Brightsorn, son of the notorious Warlord Thorgoth and Seranna, Queen of Namaria, the sole human-ruled kingdom.

After seventeen years of isolation, Ragoth is cruelly forced out of his life of luxurious comfort and into exile on the eve of his royal Crowning before he can receive his gilded mark, the magic sigil that proves his royal birth. Unable to prove who he is or return home, he embarks on a quest to reach his father’s tribe, the Sunderfang, in the lawless wilds of Dreadmour.

But his venture is not taken alone. He earns the company of Cortland Lowhelm, a pugilistic human farmboy hellbent on finding a legend to fill, and Denith, a compassionate, if helpless, elvish goodwill worker. To ensure safe passage, they acquire the services of Val’Mora, a world-weary veteran adventurer down on her luck. Together, they cross the kingdoms of the Crown Pantheon with nefarious forces seemingly at every step.

The Black Crown is a coming-of-age epic fantasy packed to the brim with action & adventure, political intrigue, found family, vengeful dragons, dark abominations, and, most of all….ORCS!

“The Black Crown is a masterpiece of epic fantasy, delivering high intensity fun without neglecting the expectations of the genre.” – Katie Roome, Periapsis Press

The first-draft Alien screenplay by William Gibson, the founder of cyberpunk, turned into a novel by Pat Cadigan, the Hugo Award-Winning “Queen of Cyberpunk.”

William Gibson’s never-before-adapted screenplay for the direct sequel to Aliens, revealing the fates of Ripley, Newt, the synthetic Bishop, and Corporal Hicks. When the Colonial Marines vessel Sulaco docks with space station and military installation Anchorpoint, a new form of Xenomorph appears. Written by Hugo Award-winning novelist and “Queen of Cyberpunk” Pat Cadigan, based on Gibson’s never-produced first draft.

The Sulaco—on its return journey from LV-426—enters a sector controlled by the “Union of Progressive Peoples,” a nation-state engaged in an ongoing cold war and arms race. U.P.P. personnel board the Sulaco and find hypersleep tubes with Ripley, Newt, and an injured Hicks. A Facehugger attacks the lead commando, and the others narrowly escape, taking what remains of Bishop with them.

The Sulaco continues to Anchorpoint, a space station and military installation the size of a small moon, where it falls under control of the military’s Weapons Division. Boarding the Sulaco, a team of Colonial Marines and scientists is assaulted by a pair of Xenomorph drones. In the fight Ripley’s cryotube is badly damaged. It’s taken aboard Anchorpoint, where Ripley is kept comatose. Newt and an injured Corporal Hicks are awakened, and Newt is sent to Gateway Station on the way to Earth. The U.P.P. sends Bishop to Anchorpoint, where Hicks begins to hear rumors of experimentation—the cloning and genetic modification of Xenomorphs.

The kind of experimentation that could yield a monstrous hybrid, and perhaps even a Queen.

Fire beats against the cold and the dark, but all lights eventually fade…

 

Spanning across blackened war-torn country, vast oceans, and into the dark heart of sacred groves, Mortal Descent recounts tales of triumph, tragedy, war, and family within the grim world of Arkae. Here, a vengeful Reptile queen unites her people and calls the wrath of dragons down upon an invasive nation; a soldier has died so many times he doesn’t even know his own name but remembers what it means to be Human; and an Orc king seeks a peaceful death in a far-away land of summer, which is easier said than done for the children of winter.

Throughout the ages, legends leave their mark on Arkae, a half-frozen and unimaginably ancient world. Great figures rise and fall, empires collapse, and entire civilizations can be wiped out in the blink of history’s eye. But in this anthology of forgotten fantastical archives, even myths are doomed to die.

A soldier with a grudge. An illegal AI with no limits. Can they confront their darkest fears to defeat an alien nemesis that threatens humanity’s fragile existence?

Technical Specialist Kerry Sevvers is the best the Division has to offer. Haunted by the loss of his mother, he commands drone swarms with only his thoughts thanks to an experimental neural implant and a cluster of lethal AI.

Among those AI, one stands apart—a creation whose very existence defies Division rules. Codenamed Six, it represents the pinnacle of Sev’s defiance and ingenuity. With no mandatory safeguards, Six is as brilliant as it is dangerous, making it his most powerful and unpredictable ally in their fight for survival.

A high-risk mission to rescue a deep cover Colonial Intelligence operative puts their skills to the test. When the op runs afoul of a long-dormant threat, it falls to Sev, his AI, and a fireteam of Marines to confront an enemy that threatens to unravel the very fabric of the Three Colonies.

Failure means the extinction of humanity itself. They must overcome rogue AI, hostile aliens, and their own divisions to defeat the resurgent evil beyond the colonial frontier.

Readers who enjoyed the exploits of AI drones in Daniel Suarez’s Kill Decision and the claustrophobic corridors of James S.A. Corey’s Leviathan Wakes will be riveted by the combination of the two presented here. The constant dread as ancient evil stirs will make it impossible to put down.

Coders, Marines, and Intel operatives report for duty! Battle relentless aliens, corrupted machine minds, and humanity’s dark past by downloading this heart-pounding military sci-fi thriller today!

A failed military training exercise. An alien incursion, desperate and on the hunt. Survival is just the beginning…

Finn had thought he’d seen it all…but no…he had to admit…

Not quite everything…

There was a big universe out there and it was about to land in his lap.

Just how bad could it be?

Insubordinate and on the edge, Finn is a troubled war hero racked by guilt, overseen by an unyielding Commanding Officer while dragging his ragtag group of rookies through basic training. Suddenly caught up in a major global crisis, he joins with Gunner Zuri Zuberi, leading Delta Squad in a desperate struggle for survival when an alien incursion lands slap bang in the middle of their training session – killing indiscriminately and pitting inexperienced soldiers against the power of alien technology.

With the modern-day world panicking after the small alien force penetrates Earth’s ineffective defences, a second incursion drops into the atmosphere, revealing more of the enemy’s capabilities. As losses mount, the world’s armed forces find themselves helpless to act when the aliens reveal a weapon that could change modern warfare forever.

This new alien tech breeds greed and mistrust amongst opposing countries. The need to be the first to acquire it, escalating beyond political conflict as governments circle, missiles at the ready.

Finding themselves alone in the fight for Earth’s future, Delta Squad discover the aliens are more than they seem, and that alien technology can be just as deadly in the hands of humanity when they unearth the Weapons of Choice.
