Catgirls from Outer Space

A down on his luck spaceship captain? An ex-space pirate catgirl? A catgirl warrior who’s down for some wild … adventure? Only one question remains:

Want to make some kittens tonight?

Captain Nathan Kade just wants a quick job to keep his busted-up spaceship limping through the Solar System.

Instead he gets Vessani S’Kaari, a mysterious and beautiful catgirl who tried—and failed—to steal a ship belonging to a band of space pirates. She’s chaos in a tight catsuit, but she also has a lead on what may be the greatest treasure trove of lost technology the Solar System has ever seen.

Not to mention a really nice … tail. He pulls that tail out of the fire, and together they assemble a team to seek out this long-lost bounty. Soon, he’s commanding a ragtag crew of space cowboys:

  • A warrior catgirl who’s as deadly with a wink as her blade
  • A snarky multi-bodied robot commando pilot
  • A sexy engineer who knows how to make a reactor purr
  • And a grumpy, cyber-implanted cleric who whispers with the remnants of ancient gods

They’ll dodge spaceship fire, flirt with danger (and each other), and maybe—just maybe—make the score of a lifetime.

But they’re not the only ones chasing the prize. The Jovian Everlife has dispatched a fleet of warships with one of their elite, many-bodied agents in command, and he’d like a few words with Nathan and his catgirls—preferably in chains.

Guns will blaze. Spaceships will burn. Tails will swish.

And somewhere in all that mayhem, a broke captain might just find everything he never knew he wanted.

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with national bestselling author Jacob Holo and Amazon bestselling author Edie Skye in this brand new science fiction standalone. If you’re a fan of wild futuristic technology, wilder catgirls, and spicy scrappy crew space opera, this just might be the story you’ve been waiting for.

WARNING: Catgirls from Outer Space is a fast-paced, action-packed sci-fi adventure romance for men where the hero saves the day and gets all the girls. (So don’t read it and then complain about the spice. Y’all know exactly what you’re getting into.)

About Jacob & H.P.

Jacob Holo has been a recreational geek since childhood, when he discovered Star Wars and Star Trek, and a professional geek since college, when he graduated from Youngstown State University with a degree in Electrical and Controls Engineering. He started writing when his parents bought that “new” IBM 286 desktop, and over the years, those powers combined to push him to the next level of nerddom: a sci-fi author who designs intricate worlds and tech systems…and promptly blows them up in a string of nonstop action.

He is the author of over fifteen books, including the bestselling Gordian Division series (with David Weber), YA urban fantasy Time Reavers (a Kirkus Reviews Best Indie Book), and fantasy adventure Monster Punk Horizon: Excess (with H.P. Holo).

Between novels, Jacob enjoys gaming of all sorts, whether video gaming, card gaming, miniature wargaming, or watching speed runs on YouTube. He is a former-Ohioan, former-Michigander who now lives in South Carolina with his wife/boss H.P., the ghost of his cat/boss Nova, and his new kitten/boss Dazzle, who is a very good boy even if he does try to lick light bulbs.

H.P. Holo grew up in a family where it was dangerous to say, “I’m bored.” She’s also an incorrigible smart aleck. So when her parents told her to fix her boredom by reading a dictionary, she did. And then, just to be extra sassy, she began writing novels that required them to keep that dictionary handy.

Her first ode to smart aleckery was The Wizard’s Way (with Jacob Holo), a tale of awkward steampunk wizards and dapper swordfighting pugs, and as much a love letter to steampunk as sassery. She followed it with another sassy love letter in the redonkulous Monster Punk Horizon series, this time to all things monster hunting, collecting, and befriending.

In all her series, she likes to spin fun (and funny) fantasies about rollicking adventures, absurd monsters, the bonds of friendship, and general nonsense.

When not writing, she enjoys procrastinating, fangirling over terrible movies, arguing that Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is, in fact, the most perfect movei ever made, and having Too Many Fountain pens. She lives in South Carolina with her husband, the judgmental ghost of her former cat/boss, and a new kitten whose hobbies include furniture parkour at 3AM, climbing up door frames, screaming for no apparent reason, chewing on books, and trying to lick the occasional light bulb. (Yes, he is orange.)
