Ridgerunners
Ridgerunners Future House Publishing
On the outskirts of earth’s solar system, rule number one is to stay out of the Collective’s way. They are ruthless, and powerful, and rule with an iron fist. They have no patience for Ridgerunners—the pirates and smugglers who thrive on the edges of their reach.
But Aladhra’s crew, the Pack, would rather run straight towards the Collective, guns blazing. Even wildly outmanned and outclassed, they would sacrifice everything for one shot at toppling the corrupt regime.
What chance does one ship have against an entire solar system?

I'm delighted to be able to include Rosi Russell's Caretaker which includes a world so deftly described that it blooms before you as if you'd stepped into an IMAX theater, not just turned a page in a book. The quality of her writing far exceeds the genre. This is literature.
This is such a great book cover, very intriguing!
Sands is like Dune meets Game of Thrones!
Plagued
Plagued Eden Crowne
There are no zombies in this apocalypse, but there are monsters here. In Skylar Christensen's America, negative is good. Positive is bad. Much of the world's population has been wiped out in the Blood Plagues. Only Negatives, people with negative blood types, are immune.
Skylar, like every Negative her age, undergoes military training after school. Patrolling at night for Hemogoblin blood gangs. Life isn't so bad. Sky has a future. Until Hugo St. James comes to school. Hugo brings so many firsts: first crush; first kiss; first murder; first charge of treason.
The young British aristocrat pulls Sky into a world of blackmarket blood, international conspiriacy, and government-bred genetic mutations. Accused of treason, Sky must join the enemy to save the people she loves.

Newcomer Caitlin Mazur's Him starts out with a bang (actually a car crash) that skillfully and immediately puts the reader into the story. An obviously adept writer, her prose style leaves many...who have far more impressive stats on Amazon...in the dust.
"Him" brings you immediately into the mystery of the story with the main character, Amelia, upside down and suffering from a car wreck. How did it happen? Why? And more importantly, who? You want to know more. I was taken in by the well written opening.

When the Cities Died, I Danced by C. C. Brower Living Sensical
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.

The Disappeared (Short Story)
The Disappeared (Short Story) Irving Belateche
Robert Grayson was becoming invisible. There was no doubt about it. And it made sense if you took a second to think about it. Robert was an average guy with an average job in an average American suburb. Invisibility was bound to happen. So the question wasn't why was he becoming invisible, it was were there other invisible people out there, too?
"Like the great Ray Bradbury, Belateche invents a world much like yours and mine but with that one twist that makes it different." -- A. Silver
