TRIDENT'S FORGE

Trident's Forge



They’ve made it this far. If only that increased humanity’s chances on this new planet…

Against all odds, the Ark and her thirty-thousand survivors have reached Tau Ceti G to begin the long, arduous task of rebuilding human civilization. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Tau Ceti G’s natives, the G’tel, are coming to grips with the sudden appearance of what many believe are their long-lost Gods.

But first contact between humans and g’tel goes catastrophically wrong, visiting death on both sides. Rumors swirl that the massacre was no accident. The Ark’s greatest hero, Bryan Benson, takes on the mystery.
Partnered with native ‘truth-digger’ Kexx, against both of their better judgment, Benson is thrust into the heart of an alien culture with no idea how to tell who wants to worship him from who wants him dead.

Together, Benson and Kexx will have to find enough common ground and trust to uncover a plot that threatens to plunge both of their peoples into an apocalyptic war that neither side can afford to fight.

Praise for Trident's Forge:

“I could not put Trident’s Forge down, and read it in one marathon sitting. That is as much due to the writing style and characters as the non-stop, nail-biting story thread. If you’re an outer space sci-fi geek like I am, you’re going to love this series!”

JAMES A MOORES THE SILENT ARMY IS COMING

The Silent Army



The City of Wonders has been saved by nearly miraculous forces and the Silent Army is risen, ready to defend the Fellein Empire and Empress Nachia at any cost.

The power that was hidden in the Mounds is on the move, seeking a final confrontation with the very entities that kept it locked away since the Cataclysm. Andover Lashk has finally come to accept his destiny and prepares to journey back to Fellein. The Sa’ba Taalor continue their domination over each country and people they encounter, but the final conflict is coming: The Great Wave of the Sa’ba Taalor stands to destroy an empire and the Silent Army prepares to stop them in their tracks.

Caught in the middle is the Fellein Empire and the people who have gathered together on the final battlefield. The faithful and the godless, the soldiers and killers alike all stand or fall as old gods and new bring their war to a world-changing end.

Some struggles are eternal. Some conflicts never cease. The Gods of War are here and they are determined to win.

Praise for The Silent Army:

“James A. Moore keeps getting better. The cast of characters expands. Moore juggles them with ease, giving each one some background so that they don’t all run together. And the battle scenes, whether it’s individual combat or armies clashing, are riveting. Plus the intrigue keeps on getting more complex. This is one is highly recommended.”

DO YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRIES?

So…about fairies. They are not the Tinkerbell-ish, benevolent little winged creatures I grew up with. But, being SFF and Urban Fantasy readers…we all knew that, right? Debut author Ruth Vincent definitely knows that: the fairies in her first Changeling P.I. novel (on-sale 5/3), ELIXIR, are compelling, three-dimensional characters that are slightly beyond the human realm. And of course, the fairy queen is as deliciously evil, terrifying, and treacherous as you could hope for.



ELIXIR is a gritty, NYC-set Urban Fantasy: on the surface, Mabily “Mab” Jones seems like your average millennial: over-educated, under-employed, and just barely getting by as an unpaid intern for a private investigator. But she’s also a once-powerful fairy, tricked by the Fairy Queen into an existence forever trapped in her human form. Her two worlds collide when she’s investigating a missing person case a modern speakeasy, and she’s forced to confront her past life as a changeling. Meanwhile, Obadiah Savage (yes, that is in fact the coolest name you’ve ever heard), is happily bootlegging fairy Elixir for humans looking to score a magical fix. After spending decades trapped in the fey world, he’s settled into his new lot in life—but when he and Mab are jointly accused of a crime they didn’t commit, they must journey back into the fairy realm to prove their innocence. The risks are extreme, and of course, as with all good fairy realms, the spectre of an evil fey queen lurks everywhere. When Mab finally confronts the Queen, she realized that her betrayal is even greater than she’d thought, and must decide whether the fate of the fey world is worth destroying the lives of the humans she’s come to love, setting her present life against her past origins.

SILENT HALL FROM ANGRY ROBOT

Silent Hall



Five bedraggled refugees and a sinister wizard awaken a dragon and defy the gods.

After their homeland is struck with a deadly plague, five refugees cross the continent searching for answers. Instead they find Psander, a wizard whose fortress is invisible to the gods, and who is willing to sacrifice anything – and anyone – to keep the knowledge of the wizards safe.

With Psander as their patron, the refugees cross the mountains, brave the territory of their sworn enemies, confront a hostile ocean and even traverse the world of the fairies in search of magic powerful enough to save themselves – and Psander’s library – from the wrath of the gods.

All they need to do is to rescue an imprisoned dragon and unleash a primordial monster upon the world.

How hard could it be?

Like a Boss



In this breathless and hilarious followup to Philip K Dick Award-nominated Windswept, former labor organiser Padma’s worst nightmare comes true: she gets yanked out of early retirement.

But Saarien, fresh out of prison for his misdeeds in Windswept, has just fabricated a new religion, positioning himself as its holy leader. He’s telling his congregation to go on strike, to fight the system. And unfortunately, they’re listening to him.

Now Padma’s summoned by the Union president to help stop this strike from happening. The problem is, she’s out of practice. And, the more she digs, the more she realises this whole strike business is more complicated than the Union president let on…

ASSASSIN QUEEN FROM ANGRY ROBOT

Assassin Queen



The third novel in the stunning Majat Code series...

Defeated by the Majat forces, Nimos and the other Kaddim Brothers retreat to their secret fortress in the southern mountains. Nimos knows that the Majat’s victory is only temporary: during the flight, he managed to place a mark on Kara, one of the top-ranked Diamond Majat. His mind magic would now allow him to use this mark to confer her fighting skill to the Kaddim warriors and turn her loyalties to their side.

The new Majat Guildmaster, Mai, is planning a march against the Kaddim. His key ally, Prince Kyth Dorn, is instrumental in these plans: Kyth’s magic gift can protect the Majat against the Kaddim mind control powers. But Mai and Kyth are having trouble getting over their rivalry for Kara’s affections – even after they realize that this rivalry is the least of their worries, at least for the moment. Something about Kara is not right…

Praise for Assassin Queen:

“Assassin Queen, the third book of Anna Kashina’s Majat trilogy continues to thrill and titillate with its heady blend of fantasy romance and battle arts. It isn’t about love – but it is! But it isn’t! But sometimes swordplay is foreplay, a kiss can be a debilitating blow, and the battle of the sexes spills onto the battlefield. The trilogy’s heroes Kara and Mai, the elite assassins madly in love, are simply irresistible!"
