Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Greetings, all. SF's about all I read. It's certainly all I write. I've been working on 2 different SF universes for a while.

The first is a collection of (sometimes) linked stories, each a standalone composition exploring different aspects of the overarching history. As far as subgenre goes, I suppose they fall into new space opera (think Revelation Space or the Culture novels by Reynolds and Banks, respectively).

Posthuman Cycle:
Earth is a dump. Control of the planet has fallen to small, decentralized and xenophobic factions, while the planet's wealthy and technologically elite have fled to space-based enclaves, many of whom embrace (sometimes radical) body and mind augmentation: posthumanity. The political factions of Earth, however, reject and outlaw posthumanism. This schism further isolates Earth from its resource-rich posthuman cousins and threatens war. That is, until faster than light travel is developed. Posthumanity explodes into the galaxy, ceding the Sol system to the regressive baseline humans of Earth.

Three works are available in this universe:
Watching the Watcher (free PDF short story, exclusively at GR for now*)
Born Into Shadow (free PDF short story exclusively at GR for now*)
NightBird Calling (Kindle Direct novella)

[* My free short stories will eventually be available in actual eBook formats, but it will be a while as I'm doing all the formatting work myself. If you don't like PDFs, please be patient!]

The other universe I've been working on is a series of standalone novels and possibly some shorter works.

The Merchant Corps Histories:
The Third Age of man was in an era of apparent peace and prosperity. One global society covered the planet, guided by the Cycle of Service: Corporations serve the Governments, Governments serve the Market, the Market serves the People, and the People serve the Corporations. It was an age of modest affluence, weak and decentralized government, and large privately owned corporations which guided the global economy via their International Council of Corporations (ICC). If there was a dark side to this age, it was the ICC’s space-based mining and manufacturing colonies: emigrate to these and you were gone forever, forbidden to ever come back or communicate with people on Earth.

But the founding of the Merchant Corps changed all that. It tore control of Earth’s space mining and high tech manufacturing away from the ICC and brought about a technological revolution that culminated in the expansion of man out into the wider galaxy. The ICC had no choice but to merge the corporations and governments into one entity, employing the powers of propaganda and religion to bind the people to its will. Earth was reborn, and Terra Corporation was its name.

Right now there is only one novel in this universe, set at the very end of this history, but a second novel set at the beginning is currently in editing:
PleshaCore (Kindle Direct novel)

I have two stories of military SF that I'd appreciate readers and reviewers for. Both are set in my late husband Michael B. Caffrey's Atlantean Union universe, and are stories he started that I finished; I retain all rights as his widow. (I state that because sometimes people do *not* understand this. I'm continuing my husband's work. I feel it's what he'd want me to do. And I definitely want to do it.)

The first is A Dark and Stormy Night ; here's a blurb:

Joey Maverick, a young Ensign in the Atlantean Union, takes part in a low-tech sailing regatta right before he's supposed to ship out for space. A storm hits, causing Maverick to take command of his ship and mount a rescue mission. Along the way he picks up stranded nurse Belinda Simpson, along with many others. Sparks fly while the tension mounts . . . what will be the outcome of this dark and stormy night?

And the second story in this series is Joey Maverick: On Westmount Station; here's a blurb for that:

Newly-minted Lieutenant Joey Maverick of the Atlantean Union is finally about to head out into space and is waiting at Westmount Royal Naval Station for ship assignment. Joey thinks no adventure is possible on Westmount Station, but he couldn't be more wrong . . . there's treachery afoot, black treachery, and it's up to Joey and his temporary crewmates to stop a saboteur before it's too late!

* * * *

Note that the first takes place on a sailing ship, but is set in the future; it also has a romance. The second is straight-up milSF.

Let me know if you'd like a copy for review for either or both stories, and I will be glad to send it/them to you.

Hi

My name is James.

Last year I had my first science fiction book self published. The book is called S.P.A.C.E (Spatial Populations Cosmic Enigmas). Sadly as was book was being launched my wife was told she had terminal cancer and this threw our lives into a living nightmare. Needless to say the book was the last thing on my mind and was put on hold.

From the time of been given the shocking news, my wife only lived for eight weeks and passed away just before Christmas.

I am now going to re-launch of my first book and also introduce another book I have just finished called T.I.M.E (Temporal Inconsistencies, Mythological Entities). Both books will be officially launched on the 1st July 2014.

Amazon already have both books and kindles listed. The links are,

Tomorrow, Wednesday June 18th,. 2014, I will be hosting a Reddit AMA (ask me anything) session about my Science Fiction series, The Epherium Chronicles. The AMA will be hosted on Reddit's science fiction subreddit (www.reddit.com/r/sciencefiction). I will be online taking questions from 12-2pm Eastern time, 3-5pm, and later at 10-11:30pm.

Be sure to come out submit your questions to me about the series, science fiction, fantasy, games, technology, or most anything within reason.

I absolutely believe that indie authors are the organic farmers of the literary world. Our debut novel, Orion Connection, reached #46 on the Amazon paid best sellers list in just three months, thanks to the readers who bought and reviewed the book.

Please consider adding Orion Connection to your summer reading list and visit our author website at pursuitofmeaning.com to learn more about our plans to promote adult and children's literacy through reading and writing meetups throughout the country.

Hi everyone. I'm James M. Corkill, author of the Alex Cave action adventure series. The stories are a crossover between Clive Cussler and James Rollins. Or so I've been told by reviewers.
Alex Cave is ex-CIA, now a geology instructor at a university in Montana. While on vacation, he is drawn into a situation where he discovers some advanced alien technology left behind by the first race of humans to occupy the planet, one-hundred and eighty-million years ago. Once accidently activated, these alien devices have a global effect and could destroy all life on the planet. It's up to Alex and his friends to find a way to shut them down before it's too late

Hello everyone!

I recently published my first novel in both paperback and on Kindle.

Here's the blurb:
Attacks against Martian corporate interests within the colonies of the Solar System begin to escalate, leading to the Martian fleet enacting a systematic purge of resistance groups within the Core Worlds who may harbour members of the group calling themselves the 'Children of Earth'.

The crew of the tramp freighter Erstwhile are on the run and soon find themselves drawn into a sequence of events which puts them squarely in the path of a plan to subjugate the people of the Core Worlds, devised and prepared for by the twisted Artificial Intelligence at the heart of the Children of Earth.

Now with the very freedom of the Core Worlds at stake, Captain Maddox has to deduce the real reason behind the attacks and the AI's desire to return to Earth before it is too late, for both him and the free citizens of the inner worlds.

You can find it here on GoodReads and I would love to hear what you think, with nervous trepidation but eager anticipation also!

Hi, I have published my first novella. Its a post-apocalyptic story. If you pick it up, I hope you enjoy it.

Book Description: Liam wasn't ready for the apocalypse. If it wasn't for a young woman named Sarah, he would have been killed by the zombies on the first day. Now they must survive with little supplies and no hope of rescue.

How about a sci fi novel that isn't about vampires, werewolves and the end of mankind? How about a near future sic fi novel about a civilization where enormous buildings as much as sixty miles high contain whole cities, freeing most of the land for farming, ranching or open plains filled with animals. How about a civilization with 22300 mile high space elevators and enormous interplanetary cruise ships? How about a solar civilization working hard to overtake the enormous star faring civilizations bordering it?

How about a story that anticipates the struggle between the neo Darwinists who regard the solar system as their private estates to be bought and sold as they see fit and the People of the Book who want no part of Human expansion across the Cosmos because they fear the threat of the surrounding civilizations and because they've been excluded the Darwinist paradise?

How about a story based so closely on today's technologies that it guessed a few years ago that the first Second Earth would be confirmed in 2014? The recent announcement that Gliese 832c only 12 light years away only needs proof that its atmosphere doesn't make it a second Venus to be our first confirmed Second Earth. The instrument to do it is the Gemini Planetary Imager. The confirmation could happen this year, making a seer I think. We will know one way or another by 2016.

Try this thought on for size

exoplanets exist
therefore
living planets exist
therefore
other civilizations exist
therefor
God exists.

In Theology at least, 21st Century is taking us back to the 12 Century.

Hi everyone,

I'm Christopher, I have recently published my debut short novel Ralph and the Purple Fly an eloquent sci-fi and horror satire, now available from Amazon http://ow.ly/yAzax.

I have also just begun a blog where I review other author's work at www.christopherbruntauthor.com so feel free to check that out too. And, inevitably, I'm on Twitter with @CJBWriter.

Otherwise I look forward to chatting with you all at some point.



Professor Conrad Constant has achieved everything there is to achieve in his area of scientific study. Now, having discovered a unique chemical formula that allows him to redefine some of nature's most sacred laws, his attention is drawn to more than mere acclaim. But before he can unveil his sinister work, Conrad soon realises there is no way of controlling what he does not understand and he is pursued across the city by the results of his bizarre experiments.

This story examines a character's obsession with attainment and the consequences of success. An unusual tale of an obese purple fly, a headless dog named Ralph, and the city's one remaining can of fly spray.

Here is a recent review in the Austin Chronicle: http://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/...

one of the many science fiction books that I was absolutely captivated by was At All Costs by David Weber. The reason I like this book because it involved space (almost like other sci-fi books that I have read) and the fact that the author takes you on an amazing adventure full of suspense, tension, and nerveracking moments!!!! It is a definite read for those who are well-understanding of sci-fi terminology. May contain bad words and questionable subjects.

My latest sci-fi adventure is now available in both print and e-book. The Accord is the tale of a cyborg civilization born in the Magellanic Clouds who have run out of metal to build more robotic bodies for their disembodied brains. Our hero, Dave Brewster, is once again called upon to save our galaxy by traveling to the Clouds to understand The Accord of machines and find a way to stop or at least slow them down while the Free Society builds its fleet to defend our planets.

Old friends from the earlier books in the Dave Brewster Series are there to help, but Dave will have to rely on his own wits to survive the machines and their liquifiers.

The Accord was formed because the peace-loving people of Skee Lotho were deathly afraid that their former masters would find them and return them to indentured servitude. Little could they have believed that robots they built to protect them would eventually become their masters. Now the populations of several planets live inside massive constructed planetoids housing the massive brain of one Friend of The Accord and millions of lesser robots. The humans are reduced to slavery and eventual consumption by the machines to feed their brains.

While The Accord is replete with space battles and desperate situations, ultimately it is a story of new love, friendship, and the ultimate power in the universe. Check it out, and please let me know what you think. All the best.

Where can your book be found? I'll review it if you want.

It's available on most e-book sites. Amazon, Apple, Smashwords. Send an e-mail to me at [email protected] and I'll send a code to get it free on Smashwords.

Have you read the others in the Honor Harrington series. If so, which was the best?

Too old to write science fiction

With the launch of my new book T.I.M.E, I had some poster’s printed and placed them around the shopping mall where I run a martial arts and fitness centre.

The posters give information on the book and invite any prospective buyer to call into my place of business and purchase a signed copy.
Yesterday, I had two young men pop in and when I greeted them, the one inquired, are you James Moclair the author of the book T.I.M.E? I told him I was and that T.I.M.E is the sequel to my first science fiction novel, S.P.A.C.E.

Both men exchanged glances and the chatty one said; James I thought you would be a lot younger, science fiction writers are normally quite young. Laughing I said, I maybe sixty three, but I am young at heart. After that we exchanged some pleasantries but they left without buying a book.

To date, I have written three martial arts books and two science fiction books. In general, the martial arts books have been well received by the martial arts fraternity. Age has never been a Consideration.

To my mind, the content of my Sci-Fi books is scientifically futuristic but as I do not know any other science fiction writers, is sixty three too old?

James.

I've read all the Honor Harrington books by David Weber and can't tell you which was my favorite because I loved every one of them.

James wrote: "Too old to write science fiction

Got you beat, James. I'm 72, have been writing (published) since the age of 29, and see no end in sight. Have my SF, REFUGE, up on Kindle where it's received some pretty nice reviews, and am working on THE DIRTSIDERS, No. 2 in the series The Chronicles of Storn.
Let's all keep writing till we're too dead to imagine new scenes!

Hi Judy, it's nice to know that you are still writing some amazing SF. Good luck with the Dirtsiders. No. 2.

About sci-fi and the age thing (I'm 67 and counting) ... Two aspects concern me.
I'm a retired computer science professor and I use and understand technology, but not so much with the cell phone and the obsessive social media. Living in the outer reaches of my own head, I don't feel the constant need to be connected to others electronically. This group and this post are exceptions. But that age gap does make my writing less familiar(?) to younger readers.
Also, the whole pop culture thing is a problem. I tend to think of music as the Rolling Stones and the Grateful Dead so pop culture references are difficult. I moved my writing from the near future to the far future where I can make up my own pop culture.
Does anyone else have similar writing issues?

A.R. wrote: "About sci-fi and the age thing (I'm 67 and counting) ... Two aspects concern me.

the risk with all pop culture references is that they are all likely to be outdated within 10-20 years anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Also if you're satirical like Douglas Adams and create a band like "Disaster Area" most people fill in the blanks and associate whichever band they will with the template offered by Adams and thus avoids any obsolescence through specificity.

I don't believe ageism is a problem if we write futuristic science fiction. Ageism comes into play when you meet the public and they they assume that because you write science fiction you are still young.

Hi, my pen name is Ray Jay Perreault and I write hard SF as well as SF Soap. I like to
write about the 'other guy ' in SF. My first series SIMPOC is starting on Amazon and it's about how the 'evil computer' became evil.

The second in this series will be out by the end of July.

My other series Gemini will begin releasing in August and is about a naive alien race that finds out its neighbor in their solar system is aggressive.

I don't see the age thing as a problem. At 58 I'm looking forward to a career at it once I retire from my day job. Actually, I see age as a means of gaining life experience and savvy that can be transferred into my writing.
My current novel, Shadow Guardians, is sent in the present, where I feel most comfortable. I do have a series of three unpublished stories set perhaps 80 years in the future.
Our writing being unfamiliar with the younger crowd? Perhaps. Definitely something worth thinking about. Perhaps it's more about marketing. I, personally, just like a good story. We shall see what we shall see.

It’s been over a decade since the final war and now that the mutations have arrived, it’s time for Mariska and her extraction partner to get to work. The locals have other ideas. Her partner vanishes while Mariska is left bleeding out. She thought those moments were her last. She was wrong and there’s more than meets the eye to her savior. Mariska must choose between survival and sacrifice.

Orbital Extraction is Mariska's story in a world where camaraderie isn't dependable. This short story explores the complexities of sacrifice and power in a future not too distant from today. I wrote her story because I think she wanted you to hear it. To judge her, or commiserate with her, I don't know. Only you can make that call.

I would love to know your thoughts. It's available on Amazon Kindle for 99 cents.

Enjoy!

James wrote: "Ageism comes into play when you meet the public and they they assume that because you write science fiction you are still young."

I really don't think that perception is an all pervasive one. The cliché is that SF is written by nothing but old white guys. Just check out all the sexism threads in the SF groups where they keep going on and on about how SF is dominated by entitled old white guys. If anything the real ageism comes in that form: SF is by and for old dudes.

Which is kind of funny because the authors of the golden age of SF (your Isaac Asimovs, Arthur C. Clarkes and all them) mostly started their SF carriers when they were in their late teens, early 20s and early 30s.

I think what you experienced with those local kids is the pop SF phenomenon where people think of SF as coming out of TV, movies and comic books...er, graphic novels, sorry, forgot the modern vernacular. I.e., they equate it to the products of youth mass media, totally unaware of the debt modern SF TV/movies/comic books owe to works from the past (comic books ain't new!).

It's kind of like these two teenagers a friend of mine overheard at a Borders Books store (when they existed). They were browsing in the SF/Fantasy book section and happened to notice Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books. This was just after the first PJ movie came out. One of them says to the other in a totally sarcastic voice "Oh look, they've already released books based on the movies." The other one copies her friend's sarcastic tone: "Yeah, that's surprising." And they both roll their eyes.

Hi folks!
My very short story, A New Kind Of Pet, is available for free on amazon for the next few days. This is the first piece that I've let see the light of day, so I would appreciate any feedback you all can give.
Thanks for your time!

All these discussions seem to consist of people who, like me, are pitching their latest book. Is there a place where a group of authors can agree to review each other's books? I'd be happy to join in such a scheme if there was one around.

Hi folks! I am new to Goodreads and just starting to find my way around the site.

I'm an IT manager by day and a sci-fi writer at night. I like to bring the characters to the forefront of my stories, and make the technology a part of the furniture. My first novel, Ghosts of Innocence, is out in e-book and paperback on Amazon and many other online stores.


Master assassin Shayla Carver has killed many times. That's what assassins do, nothing to lose sleep over, but this mission is different. She's never killed a whole planet before.

Hey Everyone,
Hate to brag but just now saw my 8th rating on Amazon for Shadow Guardians. I am planning on doing another Goodreads giveaway when I receive an answer to a question last week from the powers that be.
Anyway, w/o going into all the details about SG, is anyone aware of any sci fi novels set in the present day, U.S. if possible, and including, hopefully, space travel? It has been suggested to target our advertising by finding other works (and authors) similar to ours on Amazon then locating those books on Goodreads. (Goodreads for Authors, Chapter 14). I am just now searching Amazon but was hoping to get a little ahead of the game w/ a little help from my friends.
Thanks!

Brett

** I am NOT the author** just a friend of his.


I can tell you what I liked most about it.
He started it off introducing the protagonist John. John had a bad day.. And I mean a really bad day! By the time I finished the first chapter or two, I was so emotionally invested in John's well-being that I had to know how it all played out. Along comes the rest of the crew. It didn't take me long to fall head over heels for Bobby. Bobby is my kinda guy.. big loveable fun guy. At first, I didn't care for his wife Laura, but by the end of the book, I felt like I had known her all my life and she had best friend potential. Along comes Garrett.. OMG, when you read this.. if you can't name a member of your own family that comes to mind when you meet Garrett.. I want to know! EVERYONE has an Uncle Garrett in the family. Lol
As the book progresses, you go along the roller coaster ride that the characters call life. I, myself, found the villains to be a good comic relief to break the tension of everything the guys are going through. You don't just read it, you feel like you are embedded into the group. I loved that feeling. I can't tell you much more without giving away the thrill ride, but let's just say it's a journey you will not ever regret taking! Especially if you are able to laugh even if you are going through a living nightmare. John never did lose his sense of humor.

The 2nd book in the series in currently in progress and hopefully out sometime in Sept.

Here is my sci-fi novella.

The President is No More


Link to the book on Amazon Kindle:
http://www.amazon.com/President-No-Mo...

In a future where progress is accelerating beyond humanity’s ability to keep pace, the Humanists are trying to live in harmony with nature and avoid the advancing technology. One night, a fire destroys Kingstown – the Humanist settlement on the West Coast. As details of the tragedy emerge, outrage sweeps the Unites States, putting President Bill Freeman’s reelection prospects in doubt.
Negotiator Mia Arc faces a challenge of a lifetime when she’s asked to defend Humanist rights in the face of growing controversy. As she investigates the tragedy, she finds more questions than answers. Who is responsible for the tragedy? Did robots have something to do with it? And is anybody really who they say they are in this cyber-enhanced, nano-technological, unnatural world?
Mia doesn’t know if she can answer those questions. She is not influential. She is not powerful. She is just an ordinary woman…

Wolf 359 for only $1.99! The latest epic SF saga. 11 great reviews so far!

Link to Amazon Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/Wolf-359-pd-mac...

The spaceship destroyed, his family murdered, Duncan finds himself stranded on a planet circling Wolf 359. Along with the only other survivor, a beautiful gladiator named Alexis, they encounter a civilization who past reaches back only 1500 years. Their fortune stumbles from the start when Alexis is immediately forced to fight the nation’s berserker who underestimates his opponent, and pays dearly for it. Yet no sooner is she awarded his position, title, and wealth when she is called upon to lead the nation’s warriors in the first full scale battle she has ever experienced, against an enemy who take no prisoners.

With the very real possibility of Alexis never returning, Duncan is left alone to fend for himself. Calling himself a wizard of the universe, he is brought before the Council of Prelates to explain his obvious heresy. Deftly answering their questions, he throws caution to the wind and challenges the nation’s high priest, Vix, to a contest of divine favor. The one who calls down thunder and lightning from the sky is the chosen one of God, and becomes the nation’s high priest. The loser dies.

Angry and nervous to be cornered into an arrangement that might reveal his own heresy, Vix quickly decides to preempt the contest by having Duncan murdered. Though he survived a destroyed spaceship, can Duncan now evade assassins? Can he really call down thunder and lightning?

I must admit to owning almost all of David Weber's books and there are a lot of them. My favorites, though, are his earlier ones. Some of his later ones have become so involved, with so many characters and plot threads, that they can be difficult to keep track of. Weber not only writes space opera, but grand space opera. You could say he is the Wagner of space opera, complete with Valkyries!

It's a near future science fiction thriller about a brilliant software developer named Edward Phillips, unwittingly embroiled in corporate and government conspiracies. As a result of his daring escape from Virton, Edward is forced to become a fugitive from a nationwide manhunt.

"When technology is everywhere, so is the danger it brings."
