All Cats Are Gray by Andre Norton Midwest Classics Press
Under normal conditions a whole person has a decided advantage over a handicapped one. But out in deep space the normal may be reversed—for humans at any rate.
The "Empress" was a derelict. It had become legend. A luxury space cruiser that is devoid of life and runs the spaceways with its lights on. All the wealth of its passengers intact. Waiting for salvage. But no one who goes after her ever returns...
It was Steena who told Bub Nelson about the Jovan moon-rites—and her warning saved Bub’s life six months later. It was Steena who identified the piece of stone Keene Clark was passing around a table one night, rightly calling it unworked Slitite. That started a rush which made ten fortunes overnight for men who were down to their last jets...

The Hooman Probe by C. C. Brower Living Sensical
When Sue crash-lands back on Earth, she didn't know what to expect. What she found was a telepathic wolf pack, capable of reasoning and the dominant life form on the planet. They were in a fight for survival with the feral species of wolves, as well as the remnants of humankind.
In the first part of this, Sue learns to communicate and to travel with the pack as they fight and escape from the hunting ferals. In doing so, she fights alongside Tig, the hunting pack leader, to save both their lives.
What she wanted was to get back to the moon base to rescue her family. She didn't know how bad the collapse was.
But before she can get anywhere, she has to prove to the sentient wolf pack that she can be trusted. This means a "probe." Something no human has survived.

Resistance (Divided Elements Book 1)
Resistance (Divided Elements Book 1) Mikhaeyla Kopievsky
From the moment you are born, you are conditioned to know this truth: Unorthodoxy is wrong action, Hetereodoxy is wrong thought. One will lead to your Detention. The other to your Execution.
Two generations after the Execution of Kane 148 and Otpor's return to Orthodoxy, the Resistor's legacy still lingers.
In this future, post-apocalyptic Paris, forbidden murals are appearing on crumbling concrete walls – calling citizens to action. Calling for Resistance.
When Kane's former protege, Anaiya 234, is selected for a high-risk undercover mission, Otpor is given the chance it needs to eliminate the Heterodoxy and Anaiya the opportunity she craves to erase a shameful past.
But the mission demands an impossible sacrifice – her identity.

Just what I need on a sunny Saturday afternoon: being dumped by that snake I thought was my boyfriend and my best friend is too busy with her wedding cake tasting to go out for a drink. I can’t let these circumstances spoil my life, so I head out to the state forest for a hike. Things don’t go as planned, though, when I meet two chiseled specimens at a rest stop. They start acting shifty when I hear a woman scream for help, and the next thing I know, I’m waking up in a cage on some alien planet.
The aliens charge each other on huge, shaggy beasts and beat each other with clubs, and I’m the tournament prize. What’s going to happen to me? I expect the worst when they drag me off to the winner’s castle, but I can’t believe my ears when he suggests his brother share the spoils.

Waking up at the crack of dawn to an irritable gnome demanding payment for some valuable information was not how Caval Ignolius planned to start his morning. He had, after all, just gotten back from traveling through a picture to a world one million miles away.
His morning's about to get a lot worse.

A couple of days after the cities died, I was there. Dancing.
Whether it was appropriate or not, there was no one around to care.
I had things to celebrate and this was my way.
Because I and my family were still alive. And perhaps it was a wake for those who weren't.
It wasn't a sad occasion, but joyous.
...That was my reason for dancing. I was thankful. Grateful. To be alive. To have my family. To be able to enjoy this earth.

Space Rogues: The Epic Adventures of Wil Calder, Space Smuggler John Wilker
Wil Calder is an astronaut when his experimental spacecraft breaks down near Neptune. What a crappy way to go, don't you think? Alone in the deep dark of space.
Except that's not how the story ends, it's how it begins. He's rescued by alien smugglers, his pod sold for scrap.
Then he's given a choice; join the crew or step out the airlock without his spacesuit. Which would you choose?
Now, years later Wil is a lonely space smuggler himself looking for a crew because he's bored out of his skull.
Because it turns out, space is lonely and boring, so Wil could use some friends.
Before Wil can even enjoy having a crew to call his own, they're pushed into the center of a plot to start an intergalactic war. They had no part in starting it, and aren't remotely qualified to stop it.

I'm honored to be able to include Nebula Finalist Stephen Goldin's Scavenger Hunt in my "select few" Group Giveaway. This vintage classic channels Barbarella while dishing out such delightfully diva-esque dialogue as "I'd turn positively green with envy, except then I'd clash with my own gown, so of course I won't" and "I've had three husbands since then...

This is clever writing and a clever story. Calling a hero Chaos is a clue to what is to follow. Conflict and suspense and surprising twists. Complicated world and some not so very nice characters.

This is one of Jay Allan's best MSF Series you will ever read. I gave this Book 4 Stars on Goodreads and the story gets even better in Books 2 and 3. Check out my Review on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1549693826
Read this book awhile back and it's still as good as ever with plenty of action and adventure to be had.
Lindsay Buroker's Fallen Empire Collection has caught my interest. I'm sure others will enjoy it too!
No Middle Ground (Middleton's Pride, Book 1)
No Middle Ground (Middleton's Pride, Book 1) Caleb Wachter
A hard-hitting, character-driven military space opera with a diverse cast of characters who try to hold their crumbling corner of the galaxy with grit, determination, and the will to make the world a better place than they found it.
The Timelost
The Timelost Chris Turner
A pilot stranded on a faraway planet. An alien seeking symbiosis. Can one marine, perhaps the last hope in the face of a rising alien menace, save the human colonies from subjugation? A Star Wars meets Alien SF thriller.
Writing about martial skills that no longer exist is always a challenge, and Chris Turner pulls it off with his swordplay descriptions. Nice when characters have depth, showing different personalities.

Jensen Miller has a new daughter, a beautiful wife and a relatively stable life in unstable New Eden. The fallen government and increasing number of data addicts have the city crumbling. When a group of terrorists sets off a series of explosions at the docks, the population comes together to rebuild. But a rising power, Roma Corp, uses the distraction as an opportunity to strengthen its ever-tightening grip on society.
Relying on Miller, the company's top security agent, Roma starts hunting down those it fears may be working against the company. For Miller, that hunt starts in Digi City, the place most of New Eden's data addicts go to get their fix.
What Miller finds there will change how he sees Roma, these data addicts, and even himself.

The Lazurai by J. R. Kruze Living Sensical
An unintended result of a terrorist bombing a children's hospital, the Lazurai could kill a person without touching them.
The government made it worse by their experiments. All the children wanted was to feel love like any child. When they grew older, their powers increased. And they found they couldn't be stopped.
Chuck hears a rumor of one coming his way, to his remote way station on the highway. But he can't leave his wife, who's dying. So he waits. And sees the hooded Lazurai walking the long miles on a hot desert day toward him.
All he can do is wait.
What he doesn't know is that this one is different from all the rumors. And his life is going to change forever.
The Lazurai is named Rochelle. And she may be the solution to Chuck and his dying wife's problems...

The Autists by J. R. Kruze
The Autists by J. R. Kruze Living Sensical
Carol and Reggie were different. They thought different. Reggie could talk "the ears off a corn stalk." He was an expert on history, like a walking Wikipedia on ancient times (if people could stand to listen to him.) Carol hardly talked, but her hugs could tell you the world. She could solve quintic polynomial equations. And a 4x4 Rubic's cube with one hand.
They were autists. "Special needs" people. Savants, kind of.
They were perfect for each other. Or maybe not. So different.
Between them, they understood the universe.
It was no small surprise that they were part of the next stage in human evolution. The one that's already here. Of course they knew it. But most of humanity didn't...

Ambassador 1: Seeing Red
Ambassador 1: Seeing Red Patty Jansen
24 October 2114: the day that shocked the world.
Young diplomat Cory Wilson narrowly escapes death in the assassination of President Sirkonen. No one claims responsibility but there is no doubt that the attack is extraterrestrial.
Cory was meant to start work as a representative to Gamra, the alien organisation that governs the FTL transport network, but now his new job may well be scrapped in anger.
Worse, as Earth uses military force to stop any extraterrestrials coming or leaving, as 200,000 extraterrestrial humans are trapped on Earth, as the largest army in the galaxy prepares to free them by force, only Cory has the experience, language skills and contacts to solve the crime.
But he's broke, out of a job and a long way from Earth.

Great cover and an intriguing premise.
I'm delighted to include Patty Jansen's Ambassador 1: Seeing Red among my "select few." Deftly and swiftly, her beginning shifts into high, machine-gunning intriquing clues vis a vis later reveals. One knows just enough about what's going on to continue reading without scratching one's head, but not enough to make the whole book a fait accompli. Quick immersion in tight, realistic action promises a great read.
No matter what Patty Jansen writes, there is always that underlying personality that makes her books interesting AND there are her sometimes wildly imaginative worlds that forgo the bounds of what we all know and expect. They give us something entertaining and surprising. And she is Australian. If that comment doesn't make sense then you will have to just read her stories to see what I mean. It is meant in a good way.
Incredible work by an author I truly admire!
Very intriguing! This is promising to be very interesting series... Keep it coming, Patty!

They said I would never finish flight school. Never rank at the top of my class. Never fly with the top aces. Never return from combat against the Kelton androids. Never survive emergency surgery.
Here I am.
The year is 2151, Earth is gone. A hell scape. I’ve been awoken after 72 years of cryosleep on a medical facility on Saturn’s moon, Titan. I have nothing, no home, no friends, no concept of this new world, these Titans.
All that remains is the old conflict that has blackened my veins and memories of the ones I loved still fresh in my heart. Forgotten for decades.
But it seems war hasn’t forgotten me, no, even in my slumber. My name is Captain Victoria Ann Belic, I was a wife and an ace fighter pilot, and have been revived for one reason—to die again.

The Blood Will Dry (Sample) Kate L. Mary
Five years after an alien invasion, the earth is unrecognizable and Diana Foster wants nothing more than to forget everything she’s lost. But an incoming platoon brings a familiar face, one that not only opens old wounds, but also forces her to deal with the memories she's worked hard to forget. After years of struggling to find a weakness in the aliens' defenses, Diana stumbles upon a solution just as a new and more deadly threat surfaces. Faced with an attraction she never expected and a battle that most believe can't be won, she must work through her pain as the survivors mount a battle that may determine the fate of mankind. If her plan fails it very well could be the end of humanity, but if works it will mean having a future, and a chance to allow the blood to dry once and for all.

Young Brin lived on the streets; struggling to survive in the 31st Century. She simply did her job; prepping food for a clan of individual's clinging together in New York.
Though in truth, she liked to fight; she had a little rebel in her; some tomboy. By chance one day, she heard of a legendary Sisterhood of powerful strong-willed woman; those who were out to bring freedom back to the land. It would be so amazing to be part of something like that she thought; she had a dream and set out to find it.
Suddenly her life took a turn for craziness; kidnapped and nearly operated on by some odd altering, cybernetic project; everything now changed.
Brin had a purpose; she would never let another young girl suffer such an atrocity.
It was her chance to make a difference. This is her story!

Nothing like a thriller when the plan falls apart and the heroes have to wing it! Makes it all the harder for the reader to guess what is going to happen...
Fast and enjoyable.
beautiful cover :)
I felt like I was on Mars, the real Mars, and felt the desperation that isolated settlers will experience. Great read
Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.

Being an intergalactic bounty hunter isn’t as exciting as it seems. Sure, sometimes I find myself rumbling with the worst of them but there are times where I just roam aimlessly waiting for the next outlaw to make his move. It can be so boring.
In search of excitement, I found myself on the rogue planet Ayris. It was colonized predominantly by Zeroths, a race of blue-skinned aliens with pointy ears and a very handsome physique. They were excellent miners and I was about to find out that they were even better lovers…

Anti Life
Anti Life Allen Kuzara
The opposite of life isn't death; it's something far worse.
In an anarcho-capitalist future, space-based corporate settlements have replaced the State. Colonel John Alvarez, a fifteen-year veteran, is unwilling to waste more years leading missions into deep space. He wants to start over and make a new life with his wife and son.
But when a distress message from a distant research probe is received, Novos Corp reactivates Alvarez's contract. He must carry out one last mission, a rescue attempt. Unknown to Alvarez, however, is the hidden threat that awaits him, one that—if he cannot stop it—will doom humanity to a fate worse than death.

I picked this up to write a blurb then couldn't put it down! Really good SF about a future where Statists and Corporations are at war. It has a detailed and interesting outer space setting, an original take on warp speed and likeable characters. Great stuff.
Cool title, cool cover!
A terrifying sci-fi tromp through an uncomfortably possible reality.
Great descriptions and an unexpected ending.
Sounds so good! Can’t wait to read this one!
I love this theme!!! What could be better than a space-based anarcho-capitalist future! Giddy up!

A hostile planet far from Earth, it was the most hellish place men have ever tried to survive. Called Gehenna by the condemned men sent to fight there, it forged the few who survived its murderous battles into the strongest soldiers in history.
Jake Taylor was a New Hampshire farmboy who wanted nothing more than to marry his girlfriend, work on the farm, and maybe one day write a great novel. But mankind was fighting the alien Tegeri and their bio-mechanical cyborg soldiers, and UN Central needed men…men to go to war on hostile worlds like Erastus.

Shambleau by C. L. Moore Midwest Classics Press
HAD Northwest Smith, the famous outlaw of the spaceways, been able to foresee the future, he would not have shielded the frightened, scarlet-clad girl from the wild mob pursuing her through the narrow streets of Lakkdarol, Earth's last colony on Mars. "Shambleau! Shambleau!" the crowd cried with loathing and disgust, but Smith drove them off with his blaster and took the exhausted girl to his quarters. There was no hair upon her face — neither brows nor lashes; but what lay hidden beneath the tight scarlet turban bound around her head?

Paragon.EXE
Paragon.EXE Drew Cordell
Paragon.EXE is the prequel novella to the Absolute Knowledge trilogy. Fueled by the Cold War, the development of the technology that led to the Absolute Knowledge project began with very different objectives than are present in the year 2146, over two hundred years in the future from the start of the Omniscient project.
Created as a project to aid leadership in the case of catastrophe, the Omniscient project was morphed by corruption and the pursuit of the unknown. These changes were hidden through time only to resurface when the stakes were much higher.
Paragon.EXE takes place in the 1960s and 2020s and follows the chilling development of the Absolute Knowledge project from its cryptic roots.
