Synopsis

One man. One sexy AI assistant.

And one too many enemy soldiers standing ahead of his freedom.

Kai’s evening just keeps getting better and better.

On his way to catch a flight to another planet, Kai’s day went from bad to worse when the Solar Coalition invaded the planet Eden, instilling its colonists with fear.

Alone and injured after surviving the opening salvo, and really pissed off that he missed his flight, Kai encounters a mysterious AI who likes to appear as a holographic lab assistant.

And she totally wants him . . . to take her on a wild journey to escape the doomed planet.

While shooting lots of bad guys on the way.

Imagine his surprise when her idea of escaping involved recruiting a pair of rifle-wielding android babes known as marionettes and a cyborg mechanic with a couple of gizmos up her sleeve.

Battling the hostile forces in the neon-lit city streets won’t be a walk in the park. The enemy knows about Kai’s new AI companion and the secrets she’s got tucked away in her databanks.

Someone programmed her to be more than just an AI assistant. And if Kai’s not careful, he and the girls at his side might not live long enough to find out what that more is.

Why is the enemy willing to sacrifice countless soldiers to capture a sentient AI woman?

Contains graphic violence, adult language, and explicit sexual content.

★ 4.50

Jez Cajiao

Blood, chrome and betrayal.

Sergeant Harry Kabutt has seen better days. He's been shot down, blown up, and then tossed to the wayside by the corporations, left to rot in a ratty apartment in gang territory.

His own limbs? Shredded, cut away, and left to rot on a mountainside. The replacement mods? Likely to fall apart or leave him to die in sepsis.

No longer an operator of the feared APS mecha, Kabutt has hit rock bottom. But he’s on foot, he’s armed, and he’s in serious pain…

…so, now it’s time to take that pain and spread it around the mega-city of Artem, see who flinches first.

Revenge never goes out of fashion

Myth//OS

★ 4.84

Lost Rain

What’s left when it all falls apart? Where do I go when the path forward is blocked? How do people just move on like nothing ever happened? A change in location certainly helped me.

Bastion, the last hope of civilization. It's bright. It’s flashy. It’s dangerous. There was nowhere else in the world, or any world, like it. With heroic Wardens protecting the city from monsters, rifts, and villainous Anarchs, there’s always something happening within the walls of Bastion. Not to mention the corporations bickering like children even during the end-times.

The existential threats that sought the destruction of the last city were just another Tuesday. The Wardens, with their system-granted powers, kept them in the back of people’s minds. Forged from broken myths, shattered stars, and fractured hope, they're the only thing between the city and total devastation. They were just out of reach for me.

They were. Until the OS picked a wayward Stray who happened to be in the right place at the right time. One rift, job, and monster at a time, I’d claw my way back to the top... just as soon as I found the drive to actually get out there. Picking up the pieces was just too tiring.

This is going to be quite a long story.

First Contact

★ 3.75

James Jackson

The adventure you’re about to embark upon is one of discovery and hope, as humanity comes to terms with its ‘First Contact’. When a fleet of spaceships arrives in orbit, it raises a number of compelling questions. What brings them here? Are they friendly? What will happen to us? The visitors from space do not behave exactly how we expected them to. But then, what did we really expect to happen? With the intentions of our visitors not being fully known or understood, we are powerless to do more than become bystanders to our own fate. As the series unfolds we discover that many answers simply raise even more questions.

Earth's history is replete with examples of what happens when a powerful civilization meets a technologically inferior culture. The less advanced culture never comes away unaffected, at best they survive.

‘First Contact’ follows events around the world as we get to learn a little about the individuals that eventually form an intrepid core group. Through design and luck, these varied individuals find themselves working together. Some are military, some civilian, others we are not so sure what their roles are, just yet. Some of these people work with these alien visitors, others against, as is our way when faced with uncertainties.

The Terran Chronicles saga, with its twists and turns reveals humanity’s fate one step at a time. I do hope these words provoke your interest, as you take that first step with me and explore 'First Contact'.

Richard K. Morgan

Four hundred years from now mankind is strung out across a region of interstellar space inherited from an ancient civilization discovered on Mars.

But some things never change. So when ex-envoy, now-convict Takeshi Kovacs has his consciousness and skills downloaded into the body of a nicotine-addicted ex-thug and presented with a catch-22 offer, he really shouldn't be surprised. Contracted by a billionaire to discover who murdered his last body, Kovacs is drawn into a terrifying conspiracy that stretches across known space and to the very top of society.
