August 15, 2024 by hpholo Leave a Comment

HEY, Y’ALL! Jason Cordova gave us a kickass blurb for Freelancers of Neptune, so he gets โœจ SPECIAL PROMO SPACE โœจ today, and WHOA. CHECK THIS OUT.

1) DAT COVER!

2) It’s his first solo novel from Baen Books!

3) It’s in John Ringo’s Black Tide Rising series!

4) It’s about Catholic schoolgirls kicking zombie ass!

Seriously, if you don’t pre-order this thing, what even are you doing with your life? ๐Ÿ˜œ

Mountain of Fire

Black Tide Rising #13

by Jason Cordova

***

New Entry in the Best-Selling Black Tide Rising Series

FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN

When the lights went out, humanity died. But from darkness came hope.

The surviving students at St. Dominicโ€™s Preparatory School for Girls have had it rough since the H7D3 virus virtually wiped out human civilization. Between rampaging hordes of zombies and wannabe tinpot dictators, the only thing holding them together is the iron will of the schoolโ€™s lone surviving nun, Sister Ann. They know how to survive, but rebuilding isnโ€™t only about survivingโ€”itโ€™s about rising up.

As more survivors start to seek asylum at the isolated school, it becomes readily apparent that the school can be the anvil from which humanity is reforged. To achieve this, though, the survivors must rely on one another to rebuild. The flames of life will be fanned, and the sparks from every strike of the hammer will provide light in the darkness.

But it will not be easy.

From atop the mountain of fire, this beacon of hope must spreadโ€”or humanity will die quietly in the long, final night.

Book Blast: Forlorn Hope (Blood and Armor #4) by Casey Moores and Melissa Olthoff

August 4, 2024 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Y’ALLLLLL Melissa Olthoff let me use one of our Facebook chats as a blurb, so she gets โœจ SPECIAL PROMO SPACE โœจ today. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Which is to say, she’s got a new book out with Casey Moores and it’s got POWER ARMOR in it and you should totes check it out.

Forlorn Hope

Blood and Armor #4

by Casey Moores and Melissa Olthoff

***

After Nisti Khanโ€™s return from her No Fail mission in Iran, she is celebrated as a savior of the young Kurdish Republic. However, their country has many enemies, and within weeks, they are on the brink of yet another war. When Syria invades, Nisti finds herself on the front lines of the most critical battleโ€”defending the beating heart of their country, the capital city of Kirkuk.

After a judgement call goes wrong, Nisti finds herself banished from the battlefield and relegated to a staff job. To regain her place on the frontlines, sheโ€™ll have to prove herself once again.

A successful deep strike by the Second GOG Division should have ended the war, but the Syrian onslaught continues. As losses mount, Nisti must learn the source and take the battle to the enemy. But can she figure out who the real enemy is before her country falls?

***

An assignment on a backwater world turns deadly for a combat vet and her AI tank. Military SF with heart and humor from up-and-coming author Marisa Wolf.

Sometimes the only way forward is to burn it all down.

Talinn Reaze and Bee serve as โ€œBreezy,โ€ part of the United Colonial Forceโ€™s elite Artificial Intelligence Troops. Trained for full integration since before Talinnโ€™s birth, they exceeded expectations and became one of the premier heavy tanks, leading assaults on several fronts of the long war against the Interstellar Defense Corps.

When theyโ€™re thrown to a backwater base without cause, boredom becomes their main enemyโ€”until the world falls out from under their treads and they begin to question everything theyโ€™ve ever known.

As they orient to their new reality, they have a decision to make: Uphold the status quo, or risk burning civilization to the ground?

Talinn and Bee always did have a fondness for fire.
