First up is Peter Nealan with a new series, Edge of the Imperium, Spheres of Influence
As always, click on the cover for the Amazon link!
The blurb-
A“Peacekeeping”Mission That Might Be Anything But
Lieutenant Bannon and his phalanx of Corvanite warriors have already seen some of the worst that the irregular war between the reptilian otuchans and the human latecomers can offer.
Or so they think.
First Sergeant Draven, trying to hold his company of Zolarian citizen soldiers together, has been on the desolate planet of Zhogalgan longer than Bannon. He’s seen even more.
Yet while they are both there as peacekeepers, they are not there to help each other.
Spheres of influence and empires clash, on a dry, harsh world that might become the flashpoint in an interstellar war!
Next is Pam Uphoff with a new story in her Chronicles of the Fall series, Best Enemies
The blurb-
Hayden Jaeger, youngest son of the Chairman of the Council and Ambrose Vinogradov, the youngest son of the Founder, were thrown together by random chance as they were assigned to be dorm mate at the University. It was not an instant friendship.
300 years before the fall of the Troystvennyy Soyuz, the foundations of a secret society are about to be laid down . . .
Last but not least, Raconteur Press is out with a new anthology, Steam Rising
The blurb-
Steampunk. It’s not just a genre, it is science fiction in its purest form. In this collection, you will read of the ways that technology could both help and harm mankind. Steam power took a special kind of bravery to use and master, and the people who live in a steam-powered world adjust to that need: engineers, inventors, tinkerers and experimentalists of every kind and every manner imaginable.
Within, you will meet clockmakers and war-widows, steamship captains and airship pilots; you will see wailing engines race and clanking automata strut. Hurry on! The engineer is feeding the coal, and says she’s raring to go.
See that red lever over there? Grip ‘er tight, and heave forward the throttle…
