Jeanette Lynn

Lilie never thought her life would change so drastically when she crawled into bed that night. She never believed what everyone said about her neighbor either. Mr. Clem, crazy? No... That is, until she finds him driving spikes into the ground in the middle of a vicious storm, wearing nothing but his pajamas and a ratty bathrobe. The retired engineer couldn't have prepared Lil for what was about to happen next. Things don't go as they should and one well aimed lighting jolt sends her careening through a portal of some sort, a worm hole to an alternate dimension.

What's a gal to do when she suddenly finds herself being chased by an angry, bellowing red creature that looks like something straight out of science fiction movie. A demon, an angry looking demon.

Will Lil make it out of this alive? or will she ultimately end up demon fodder? or is that what he'd even had in mind at all? What will happen to Lil as she navigates her way through this strange new world....

When I went out target shooting in the woods, I wasn’t expecting to be abducted by a race of alien bunny girls from another star system.

They weren’t there for me; they didn’t even know there was intelligent life on Earth. They were just conducting some battle drills in the forest and they saw me practicing my shot for my family’s annual hunting trip.

Now, short a good marksman, they want me to help to defend their ‘portal’ on Alpha Centauri from a race of aggressive robot A.I. killers , the very race that conquered their home star and the dozen stars they retreated to after each defeat. If the robots take Alpha Centauri, Sol—Earth’s star—is next.

I don’t think my friends and family would appreciate being enslaved by deadly alien robots…

After fifteen years of war, there are hardly any men left in their race and the girls are desperate to repopulate . I definitely don’t mind lending a helping hand there. Let’s just say that’s something I’m good at. But surviving the ‘beacon battles’— 5v5 skirmishes —on other planets and moons… that’s not quite so simple.

To Flail Against Infinity

J.P. Valentine

Infinite power, infinite danger.

Growing up mortal, I only knew a few things about cultivators. They like their hierarchies, they hate disrespect, and if you leave one out in deep space long enough, they'll go homicidally insane.

It turns out, there's a reason for that. Away from all the gravity wells and biospheres that generate natural energy, things get just quiet enough to notice the infinite ocean of qi entirely incompatible with our own.

I should know. I've seen it.

Only difference is, I didn't go mad. I wasn't a cultivator. Technically, I wasn't even alive.

But now I can sense it. I can touch it.

I can cultivate it.

From the bestselling author of This Trilogy is Broken! and Dungeon Devotee comes the cultivation epic you've been waiting for.
