Your Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Bargains for July 20, 2019

WHEN ALL OTHER OPTIONS RUN OUT, NEVER LET GO OF YOUR GUN.

Winner of the 2010 Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Colorado Gold Contest for best action/thriller. Finalist in the Kindle Book Review 2012 Best Indie Book Contest for science fiction/fantasy.

In a few hundred years, the Algol system becomes humanity’s new home. The question is: is it a better one? When a crew of arms smugglers botches their latest job, Corps-deserter and crewmember, Aly Erikson, is separated from her brother, the only person she can trust, and left behind to fight for her life. In the aftermath, as she tries to piece together what happened, a crew of roughneck settlers pressgang her into a dangerous mission in the heart of Corps territory. Time is running out to get back everything she’s lost: her crew, her brother, and her options. But no one is taking her gun.

This eighth epic fantasy in Auryn Hadley’s fan favorite, Rise of the Iliri sci-fi/fantasy series, is just as much steamy erotic romance as it is espionage-tinged action-adventure thriller. The evil Emperor is in our heroine’s sights—all she needs now is a military and cultural miracle.

Finn longs to trade in his paintbrush for a legendary Bizarre Blade. One day, after rescuing a young girl and meeting his sword-fighting idol, he is shocked to learn he is being drafted as a foot soldier.

While trying to survive Finn finds himself crashing through the ice where he mistakenly discovers a magical Blade of his very own.

Introduced to a world of Champions jealous of his random find, Finn struggles to master his sword’s sludge-spitting bad attitude. Surrounded by dubious allies, he must somehow find the courage to battle the vicious dinosaurs that roam the land as well as trying to survive the freezing elements. And when a traitor takes down Finn’s fellow Champions, the former painter must tame his angsty weapon in a hurry if he has any hope of winning the fight of his life.

Finn Featherstone never thought that owning a Bizarre Blade would cause this much trouble.

But when a tyrannical king vows to hunt the hero down, Finn never imagined the enemy would kidnap his father.

With an execution looming, Finn vows to find the fabled Golden Blade to rescue his family.

Can Finn find the inner strength to retrieve the blade and defeat a vicious king?

An irreverent, liberal, twisty, time travel comedy!

What if you could change history to eliminate slavery, World War II, the Spanish Inquisition, global warming, and an egomaniacal nuclear-bomb-dropping US president? What if that change also made 5 billion people poof from existence? Would you do it? Time Is Irreverent explores those questions, as benevolent aliens send Marty Mann to AD 31 to correct an error in history.

Spanning from the Cretaceous period to 2056, Time is Irreverent is a hilarious, thought-provoking satire, with unpredictable twists, colorful aliens, huge dinosaurs, a smokin’ hot lesbian from the future, and a cameo from Jesus Christ himself!

“Ironic, original, hysterically funny, deftly crafted, and an impressively entertaining read from first page to last”—Midwest Book Review
