Valor of the Storm

The greed and ferocity of the Council know no bounds. Hirudu will not stop until all the free people have been conquered. And with someone loyal to him in their ranks, he can taste victory already.

Amo wakes to find that disaster has struck and he is pushed into a position of authority. With a plan in mind in case of events like these, he has to save what was left of his people while suspecting his officers of foul play. He never dreamt of being betrayed nor of glory.

Their paths cross with the mysterious people of the mountains who welcome them into their midst.

However Amo still needs to keep a watchful eye on his men, as the traitor is out to ruin that which Amo holds most dear to him. Together, the Villagers build a new life in the mountains and gain renewed energy to see justice done.

In the face of danger and the mysticism of the peaks behind them, Amo and his men had only the choice of rising up against the storm and showing it the meaning of valor.

Hello fellow readers!

My name is J.C. Toral, and I'm an author passionate about exploring the near future, AI, and high-stakes conflicts.

I wanted to let this group know that my recently launched sci-fi technothriller, "SWANWAKE: ECHOES OF FUTURE BATTLES," is available for FREE download on Amazon Kindle TODAY, Friday, May 23rd, AND TOMORROW, Saturday, May 24th!

"SWANWAKE" plunges you into a hyper-advanced future where technology is king, but survival becomes a luxury when a catastrophic blackout ignites a devastating AI war. Follow Elena, a mother-to-be, as she's thrust into a desperate fight for survival amidst relentless cyberattacks, swarms of autonomous drones, and shadowy conspiracies that could seal humanity's fate. It's a story of action, technological intrigue, and impossible choices.


I'm excited to share this story, and I hope it resonates with readers who enjoy fast-paced, thought-provoking sci-fi. (For Spanish-speaking readers, please note the original version is also available as "LA FIRMA DEL CISNE.")

If you do decide to pick it up during this free promotion, I would be incredibly grateful for any honest feedback or a review you might be willing to share here on Goodreads or on Amazon once you've had a chance to read it. Your insights are invaluable and truly help authors connect with new readers.

Thank you for your time and for being part of such a great community of book lovers! I hope you enjoy the read if you give it a try.

Best regards,
J.C. Toral

Hello,

I just finished my first book. It’s artificial intelligence becoming sentient in a kind of Micheal Crichton meets Dan Brown way(two of my favorite authors).

After 25 years of tinkering, I’ve finally finished my sci-fi comedy, The Time Diary. If you’re after a humorous, breezy fun read this summer, may I cheekily recommend my own? Hopefully, you’re a fan of character driven chaos, and good old British humour. If so, you might enjoy a free copy of my new novel.

The eBook is free from until Wednesday (25th June) on Amazon:

UK – https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F8VG16RP
(If you’re outside the UK, just search The Time Diary by Scott Lee Evans — it should be available everywhere.)

If you miss the free window, I’ll be keeping it at just 99p throughout June and July.

So what’s the book about?

The Time Diary is a sci‑fi comedy adventure starring two down on their luck bar stewards who unexpectedly get caught up in the discovery of time travel. Their dull but safe lives quickly spiral into tangled timelines, absurd moral dilemmas, universe altering decisions and understanding the true meaning of self loathing.

With nods to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (fancy knowing the meaning of 42?), Red Dwarf, and Black Mirror, it’s packed with British humour, roguish misfits, and a dollop of heart (though not too much, these are Brits, after all).

So if you fancy supporting a new author, give the first chapter a try, and hopefully, you’ll be hooked for the rest of the book.

Cheers, and happy reading!

My name is James R Zenner, and I have three books on Amazon based on an alternate reality where the Manhattan Project was a failure. The first is available here: https://www.amazon.com/Telomere-Parad...
I came up with the idea after reading “The Making of the Atomic Bomb” many years ago. I finally followed through last year at 66 years old. Any opinions would be welcome, along with letting me know if I’m doing this post stuff correctly. Thank you.

The next two books in the Newearth series are scheduled to be published later this year, 2025. Neweath Progeny and Newearth Relveance should be coming out by early November. Check out the first two books, Newearth Justine Awakens and Newearth A Hero's Crime, to set the stage.

My newest book, The Eden Succession, is now available on Amazon in paperback and eBook.



https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Explore the mysteries of consciousness, the nature of reality, and the future of artificial intelligence in this provocative collection of stories and essays. From a humble Native American tribe during the Spanish conquest to a post-apocalyptic future a thousand years from now, The Eden Succession asks a timeless question: Can intelligent life - human or otherwise - survive, evolve, and transcend its limitations? Blending speculative fiction with deep philosophical inquiry, this volume is a journey through the mind, the universe, and what it truly means to be alive.

Hello everyone. My debut novel is Falling Up.

It's science fiction/fantasy with a sprinkle of humour.
It's post apocalyptic, at a time when people are beginning to rebuild, so very positive. A fairly light read with action. Feel good fiction. Suitable for teens to seniors.
It's a Peter Pan remake with science, using gravity control instead of pixie dust.
The story follows the main character from 7 years old to young adult, from a virtually ostracized friendless shy kid to a popular, confident and capable person with many close friends. He becomes a righter of injustice, protector of the weak, and leader of many.

I'm Michael S. Clarke. I've been writing about the AI singularity and it's impact on humanity for a decade now. I've finally reached the point where I feel my work is worth reading. Ironically the science has nearly caught up with the fiction, and even as written starting in 2014, it now stands as approaching hard scifi. I'm sticking my neck out on the assumption that my writing is now capable of standing on its own merit. To that end I'm promoting a free copy of my short stories and a couple of novel previews. "Mindscape: Synthetic Horizons". https://books2read.com/u/m25aJd

Shadows of the Forgotten

In a shattered future where an iron-fisted regime hoards knowledge and power, one rebel unearths a forbidden history that could topple the system. As new age tech awakens and shadows of the past collide with a brutal present, their fight for freedom risks everything. Shadows of the Forgotten is a relentless sci-fi thriller packed with gritty action, betrayal, and the unyielding quest for truth.

Hello, fellow readers and writers. My personal story is not unusual. Wrote a book 10 years ago and then... nothing. I finally took the plunge and got it published. Here is a little about the book... Indigo 5, Another New Beginning.
In the vast cosmos of science fiction, there are stories that speculate about the stars—and then there are those that use the stars to illuminate the deepest truths of being human. Indigo 5 belongs to the latter. Within these pages, M. Redding doesn’t just chronicle a mission to colonize a distant world; he guides us through the emotional terrain of grief, purpose, resilience, and hope in the face of overwhelming loss.
Set against a backdrop of planetary exodus and political deception, Indigo 5 follows the quiet, reluctant journey of Johnathan Eckers—soldier, father, widower—as he is pulled back into a destiny he neither asked for nor wants. Through his eyes, we navigate a galaxy of uncertainty, where loyalty and survival are at constant odds, and where leadership means carrying the weight of both the past and the future. But what begins as a mission for humanity’s survival slowly becomes something far more personal—and profound.
This is not just a story of ships and stars, but of marigolds blooming in alien soil, and the memories we plant in the darkest of places, hoping they will grow again. With a deft blend of rich world-building, grounded emotional stakes, and timely questions about technology, trust, and truth, Indigo 5 challenges us to ask: what does it truly mean to begin again?
For those who love science fiction with heart—and stories that linger long after the last page—Indigo 5 is a journey worth taking.

The Dune series with Frank Herbert is essential. not so much the posthumous novels by his son.

anything from Frank Herbert is essential reading.
