A Small Gray Dot by P.B. Cannon

A Small Gray Dot by P.B. Cannon

Could the fate of the world hinge on the actions of an ex-middle school English teacher?

Tennessee Murray, out of college for three years, has realized his ambition to teach and his dream of publishing a book, and is preparing to marry the love of his life. Things can only get better, right?

He thinks so. That is, he does until one June morning he steps out of his apartment and into an unexpected and unusual fog, and finds himself in a waking nightmare. Something has happened that is sudden, deadly, and inexplicable. It causes baffling, technological outages that make no sense, but worse of all, it brings death to billions. It touches everyone in one way or another and throws the world into utter chaos.

Life becomes a struggle, but it limps on, and unable to teach anymore, Tennessee finds something else he has a knack for: tracking, and seven years after what has become known simply as The Event, he sets out to find a missing young woman in a dystopian world that’s slowly sliding into the sewer. Like everyone else, he carefully sublimates the thing that changed everything, and keeps his mind strictly on the task at hand, so that’s all he’s trying to do.

But, he’s thrown a curve when he inadvertently stumbles across the cause of the event that brought the world to its knees, and is yanked relentlessly into the understanding that things are about to get a whole lot worse.

Can Tennessee, and a ragtag crew he has assembled, stop the total annihilation that’s bearing down on the world?

Breaker: A Spicy Dystopian Sci-fi Romance (The Price of Talent Book 1)

About Breaker: A Spicy Dystopian Sci-fi Romance (The Price of Talent Book 1)

On an alternate earth, a cataclysm has altered a subset of the population. Talents are persecuted for their psychic and physical mutations, giving rise to two conflicting societies based upon maintaining genetic purity. And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them…

Self-exiled to the Outside, Flynn Scot is oath-bound to a life of strict penance.

Cursed with a vicious temper and haunted by the blood-stained debauchery of his past, Flynn’s sworn off women, whiskey, and violence, and doesn’t give a damn about whispers of the coming war. He sure as hell isn’t in the mood to make good on a debt when it’s called in, especially when playing white knight outs him as a Talent, and the damsel in distress as his soulmate.

On the run from her future as a broodmare for the Source, escaped Talent Kara Jester is no distressed damsel.

And the last thing she wants is to be trapped in a blizzard with a surly—and frustratingly captivating—thug. Without the suppression meds holding her libido in check, her biology’s primed to procreate, and Flynn’s growled assurances that he won’t touch her doesn’t match the hunger in his eyes.

It doesn’t align with what fate has in store for them, either.

With elite troops hot on their heels and the border set to close, it’s a race to the North, away from Kara’s horrific future and towards the dark past Flynn wants to keep buried. Clinging to the shreds of his oath, he’s forced to choose between protecting the woman he’s afraid to love and letting out the animal he swore he’d never be again. Either may destroy him, if Kara’s secrets don’t get them killed first.

Soul Friend: A Page-turning Coming-of-Age Novel

About Soul Friend: A Page-turning Coming-of-Age Novel

Two souls longing to be reunited.

One chance to save the human race.

Chikondi always knew he was different.

Unlike other humans, he still has memories of his premortal existence. A place where each living being’s soul exists before conception. This place, the Soul Sphere, is where Chikondi’s soul was linked with another — a connection broken at birth but yearned for ever since.

His quest? To reconnect with this soul across the vastness of galaxies, navigating both the allure and the peril of alien cultures and celestial beings. This novel weaves the complexities of love and connection through a narrative rich in emotion and vivid imagery. The concept of love transcends the simple romantic, delving into the profound realms where souls are known and recognized by their energies and essences, challenging the very notions of identity and memory.

“Soul Friend” invites readers to feel deeply, think profoundly, and explore the notion that perhaps the most significant journeys we undertake are those that lead us back to our soulmates—be they friends or lovers, across lifetimes and cosmic distances.

It’s a deep dive into the core of what makes us human: our profound need for connection, acceptance, and understanding. Through Chikondi’s encounters with beings vastly different from himself, the novel exposes the universal yearning for a place and people to call one’s own, revealing both the pains of being misunderstood and the joys of eventual recognition.

Click to purchase and explore the depths of connection and belonging in a universe rich with intrigue and hidden truths.

In the Shadow of the Luminaries by Kallen Samuels

About In the Shadow of the Luminaries by Kallen Samuels

Free on Amazon August 31, 2024
Memories remain foggy about events preceding the disaster. Gravity suddenly reversed, in a swath encircling the globe. Two-thirds of the world’s population fell victim to the cataclysm that followed, as flora, fauna, and loose debris were catapulted into the heavens.

Five hundred years later, the survivors of the inversion event have reclaimed much of what was lost, but the world is a very different place. Some live in the floating cities of the swath. Others remain earthbound on either side of the swath. The divergent factions blame each other, walking a fine line between cooperation and outright declarations of war. Through it all, questions remain about the origin of the swath and its mysterious purpose.

As a child, Valtteri Knox stumbled across the threshold between normal and reverse gravity. He was flung into the sky, and had the misfortune of being saved by the Aerish. Valtteri is an outsider, of no caste and no worth, but it was decided he should be raised by the navy and groomed as a tool to infiltrate the earthbound.

On his first mission as an adult, Valtteri is completely unprepared for what he encounters. He understood what it meant to be a pariah, but no one told him he was also Iridogen, one of those rare individuals with a genetic trait mentioned in fragments of pre-inversion history.

He’s determined to find answers, and expose a plot that could start a global war, but first he’ll need to find a way to survive in a world that doesn’t trust him.

The Dystopian Utopia by Carl M.A. Arden

About The Dystopian Utopia by Carl M.A. Arden

It is the year 2084. While the rest of humanity exists in AI-controlled incubators, living virtual lives, Eric Smed remains on Earth, penning an essay on the history of our species. It’s a dire and sobering account, punctuated by climate change, endless conflict and our eventual—and willing—retreat into the arms of Artificial Intelligence. Humanity has proven itself incapable stewards of the planet, and in order to save both ourselves and the natural world, our only option is to remove ourselves from both Earth and each other, and live out our lives virtually. In our virtual dreams, we have all that we could wish for, in our own individual ways, without harming each other or our world. That is the utopia. But they are merely dreams. Dreams of something that we, as individuals and as a species, could not achieve on our own. That is the dystopia.

Part speculative fiction, part true history, The Dystopian Utopia takes the reader through centuries of the human story, charting constant technical advances, wars, the deterioration of our environment, and our constant inability to work together to effectively create change. It is a warning for humanity; a grim look at where our species is headed—but a hopeful reminder that right now, it’s not too late for change.

The Tao of Spock: How Vulcan Philosophy Intersects with Taoism In the Star Trek Universe by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

About The Tao of Spock: How Vulcan Philosophy Intersects with Taoism In the Star Trek Universe by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

The beloved character of Mr. Spock in the Star Trek franchise has earned respect not only for his heroism and principled way of life, but also for the philosophical path of existence of his people he from Vulcan. Spock, a half-human, half-Vulcan, tries to live his life through the teaching of Surak – a non-violent branch of both Stoicism and Humanism. Through this approach with others, the Trek character shows his logical side, and yet there is another philosophical stance that often intersects with Spock’s behavior – Taoism.

Lao Tzu, a composite character of Chinese origin, also taught his followers how to approach life. Tzu’s Tao Te Ching deals with the areas of nature, political power, social interactions, family, and peace, among the most important areas of life humans must find their way.

Spock, a character from Gene Roddenberry, displays both the collective knowledge of Surak the Vulcan and Tzu the Chinese philosopher, as he helps Captain James T. Kirk and his fellow crew mates about the USS Enterprise as they explore the galaxy.

This book attempts to show you, the devoted Star Trek fan, how one Vulcan helped changed his universe through the teachings of Surak and Tzu in his search for peaceful co-existence even with the most vile and aggressive aliens, and humans, in the Alpha Quadrant.. If not for his efforts, the Roddenberry Universe would be a much more violent, war-like place.

The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 3): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace Illustrated in Star Trek by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

About The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 3): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace Illustrated in Star Trek by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

Similar to the first two books in this series, The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 3), focuses on the latest series in the Trek franchise. Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard plus Star Trek: Short Takes. The most defining stories of these highly entertaining science fiction series are once again examined by both Taoist philosophy and war strategies. Therefore, once again, Lao Tzu’s and Sun Tzu’s most important ideas on peace and war are applied to the best stories of the latest Trek sagas.

Similar to the first two books in this series of The Tao of Star Trek, the last in the trilogy provides lessons to be learned and applied in Everyday Reflections and Everyday Actions for each selected tale.

It is the author’s greatest hope that Gene Roddenberry’s original vision for the future can be smartly examined in this book. Gene’s stories illustrated that although both humans and alien species in the not-so-distant-future share similar traits of good and evil, they can work through their differences, and hate and mistrust can be put aside for peaceful co-existence.

If we in the 21st century can only see the wisdom of Roddenberry’s storytelling, perhaps we too can put aside our need for power and dominance of overs. If we can only look inside ourselves to see what drives our best and worse intentions, perhaps we can be the prototype Gene imagined and hope for humanity in the 23rd century.
