With stakes this high, humanity doesn't need a hero. They need someone who can win. **Series complete! (5 books.)** Willem Jaantzen didn't ask to be a hero. He just wants to keep his family safe in the shifting sands of Bulari's underground-and to get the city's upper crust to acknowledge just how far he's come since his days as an orphaned street kid. With his businesses thriving and his dark past swept into the annals of history, it looks like he has everything he could ever ask for. Until, that is, his oldest rival turns up murdered and the blame-and champagne-begins to flow. It turns out Thala Coeur died as she lived: sowing chaos. And when a mysterious package bearing her call sign shows up on Jaantzen's doorstep, he and his family are quickly swallowed up in a web of lies, betrayals, and interplanetary politics. It'll only take one stray spark to start another civil war in the underworld, and Jaantzen's going to have to pull out every play from his notorious past if he wants to keep his city from going up in flames. Jaantzen never wanted to be a hero, but that might just be a good thing. Because a hero could never stop the trouble that's heading humanity's way. DOUBLE EDGED is the first book of the Bulari Saga, a five book series featuring gunfights, dinner parties, explosions, motorcycle chases, underworld intrigue, and a fiercely plucky found family who have each other's backs at every step. Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Firefly, and The Godfather. Download Double Edged and start the adventure today.

9LiveZ - Space Cocaine, #4

An epic race to an enigmatic treasure? The Nanshe's on it. When a ghost from Lasadi's past hires the crew of the Nanshe to find a crashed plane with mysterious origins, they take the job despite the troubling client. The good news? The cover story is Lasadi's childhood dream: flying in the Liluri Star Run, a wildly popular off-the-grid race through the Liluri Mountains.  As they soar through emerald jungle canyons in search of their prize and the fabled Blood River, Lasadi is realizing this job has the potential to do more than net these five misfits a payday. It could turn them into a real crew. If the Liluri Mountains-and the crew's lingering secrets-don't devour them first. Blood River Blues is the second book in the Nanshe Chronicles, a series of fast-paced sci-fi capers full of lovable misfits, non-stop action, and just plain fun. Perfect for fans of Cowboy Bebop, Firefly, and Leverage.

Welcome to Crooked, the first volume of a new anthology series from Bad Intentions Press. You'll find Teppo's retrieval job gone very, very wrong (or has it?).

Jessie Kwak's bodyguard dealing with a simple job that got quite complicated, Kate Sheeran Swed's unlikely bounty hunter getting her feet underneath her, and Wade Peterson's fighting bot showing its fiercely loyal heart. The law is represented in this collection, too - you'll find Benjamin Gorman's take on an interspecies police investigation and Mark Niemann-Ross's story of near-future intellectual property noir. The goal of the Crooked anthology series is to introduce you as the reader to authors who are currently writing sci-fi crime stories, and give you a glimpse into their worlds.

This is an anthology. It is not literary, as much as the cover might suggest otherwise. It's not even a themed anthology. However, it definitely staggers across all sorts of interstitial slipstreamed speculative fringes. It's got-well, look. There are space pirates. There's space cocaine. There might be a dragon (but probably not). And stuff definitely blows up. You're welcome. Space Cocaine contains fiction by Jessie Kwak, Grá Linnaea, Andrew McCollough, and Mark Teppo. They're the responsible ones.

Taking a secret to the grave doesn't mean what it used to. When a resurrection goes awry in a cold Seattle cemetery, mother-of-three Patricia Ramos-Waites finds herself possessed by the ghost of her sister's dead lover. God forbid her only problem be sharing her body with Dead Marco. Yesterday Patricia was worried about her teenage son's new deadbeat friends and putting her kids through college; today she's become the target of a Central American drug-smuggling gang who desperately want to get their hands on the ghost she's hosting. On top of all this, Patricia is beginning to suspect that either Marco is an exceptionally powerful spirit, or she has ghost-handling abilities that haven't been seen in centuries. Will Patricia be able to stay out of the crosshairs long enough to fix this botched resurrection?

From Earth and Bone

It's the event of the generation, the century, the millennium: the lowest of low tides laying bare the original streets of Tarry-by-the-Sea for the first time in living memory. Sea creatures splash for cover as the city's human residents descend for an epic, once-in-a-lifetime party-though a dark electricity sizzles beneath the revelry. A mysterious game has been announced, this night only, and Adria is one of many hopefuls drawn to the promise of fortune. She has her father's ashes in her pack, hard-fought freedom in her future, and the growing suspicion in her mind that something alarmingly alien lurks in the City-beneath-the-City. She's right. And I'm nearly ready to introduce myself-assuming I can survive the night.
