What would you have done if the universe had granted you unimaginable powers? Become a superhero and save the world? Become a villain who wants to transform the world in his own image? Or live the life of a selfish brat? For me, it turned out that you don't get to decide on just one.

Long-shortlisted, 2017 ReLit AwardsFacing the dwindling years of his life, an old man waits for his turn on the auction block, hoping to be sold to a family as decent as the one he is leaving. It is not the first time he has been here, and it may not be the last. Mute in life but loquacious on the page, the old man tells the colourful story of his rootless life.

The Mesan Alignment is revealed, and, for Honor Harrington and the Manticoran Star Kingdom, this means war!
Unintended Consequences
Sometimes things don’t work out exactly as planned.
The Mesan Alignment has a plan—one it’s been working on for centuries. A plan to remake the galaxy and genetically improve the human race—its way.
Until recently, things have gone pretty much as scheduled, but then the Alignment hit a minor bump in the road called the Star Empire of Manticore. So the Alignment engineered a war between the Solarian League, the biggest and most formidable interstellar power in human history. To help push things along, the Alignment launched a devastating sneak attack which destroyed the Royal Manticoran Navy’s industrial infrastructure.
And in order to undercut Manticore’s galaxy-wide reputation as a star nation of its word, it launched Operation Janus—a false-flag covert operation to encourage rebellions it knows will fail by promising Manticoran support. The twin purposes are to harden Solarian determination to destroy the Star Empire once and for all, and to devastate the Star Empire’s reputation with the rest of the galaxy.
But even the best laid plans can have unintended consequences, and one of those consequences in this case may just be a new dawn of freedom for oppressed star nations everywhere. Views: 223
For fans of Lauren Oliver and E. Lockhart, here is a dreamy love story set in the dark halls of contemporary high school, from New York Times bestselling author Brenna Yovanoff.
Waverly Camdenmar spends her nights running until she can’t even think. Then the sun comes up, life goes on, and Waverly goes back to her perfectly hateful best friend, her perfectly dull classes, and the tiny, nagging suspicion that there’s more to life than student council and GPAs.
Marshall Holt is a loser. He drinks on school nights and gets stoned in the park. He is at risk of not graduating, he does not care, he is no one. He is not even close to being in Waverly’s world.
But then one night Waverly falls asleep and dreams herself into Marshall’s bedroom—and when the sun comes up, nothing in her life can ever be the same. In Waverly’s dreams, the rules have changed. But in her days, she’ll have to decide if it’s worth losing everything for a boy who barely exists. Views: 223
Amazon Top Reviewers for books in the Destiny’s Crucible series. “Overall
a real treat for SF fans of world building, military SF, alien first
contact and lots of others.” “ . . . the world building is a thing of
wonder.” “I could not put this down, written with honesty and verve,
solid character development, with a well thought out plot” “This series
is badass. I was oblivious to the world, immersed as I was in this
author's storytelling. The guy can write. He can write well enough that
readers end up losing sleep because they're compelled to keep turning
pages.” Joe Colsco boarded a flight from San Francisco to
Chicago to attend a national chemistry meeting. He would never set foot
on Earth again. Castaway on an alien planet and amidst a human into a
foreign society, never to see home again? A story science fiction in
premise, adventure in execution. A cross-genre adventure with elements
of science fiction, history, hard science, epic fantasy, time travel,
romance, alien contact, and space colonization. On planet Anyar, Joe is
found unconscious on a beach of a large island inhabited by humans where
the level of technology is similar to Earth circa 1700. He awakes
amidst strangers speaking an unintelligible language and struggles to
accept losing his previous life and finding a place in a society with
different customs, needing a way to support himself, and not knowing a
single soul. His worry about finding a place is assuaged when he finds
ways to apply his knowledge of chemistry—as long as he is circumspect in
introducing new knowledge not too far in advance of the planet’s
technology and being labelled a demon. As he adjusts, Joe finds that he
has been dropped into a developing clash between the people who cared
for him, and for whom he develops an affinity, and a military power from
elsewhere on the planet, a power with designs on conquest. Unaware,
Joseph Colsco has been poured into a crucible, where time and trials
will transform him in ways he could never have imagined. More Reviews of Destiny’s Crucible“What
an enjoyable read!” A C Bennett, Amazon TOP 1000 REVIEWER Five stars.

“Mixture of SF, time travel, and alternative history.” “Knowledge is
power” M.W. Broscheit, Amazon TOP 1000 REVIEWER Five stars. “Any lover
of action adventures, war drama, political intrigue, or science fiction

Series.” Clabe Polk, Midwest Book Review. “Science fiction, history, and
romance are woven to create an intricate story.” “Outrageous story line
made believable, fast moving action, superb character development.” “ .
. . a character that is all too believable. His situation is only a
device but we are drawn in to the narrative with a deft touch.” “I
didn't really expect to like this story. Since getting the book 6 days
ago I have read it twice.” “Engrossing” “A book to get lost in.” “Wow”
“Great Book You Will Remember Always” “Couldn't put it down once I
started” “My favorite book of all time is Mark Twain A Connecticut
Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Cast Under an Alien Sun is the first book
I've ever found to so completely modernize this story and yet keep
completely to all the quirks, traits and storylines that also make the
story great, all the while remaining a unique work on its own.”
“Character development at its finest!” “Compelling and
thought-provoking!” “Elements of hard science fiction, soft science
fiction, adventure, and fantasy. There's a whole new world to explore;
its name is Anyar.” “Great fantasy of how one person can change history”
“An immersive adventure rich in detail and focused on a conclusion.” Views: 223
