Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July, however it is that you go about celebrating. I normally drive the family out to see some friends in the country where we can grill out and watch fireworks. This year, however, with our kids out and my wife and I busy re-organizing and cleaning out the house, so we didn't quite make it out.

On the other hand, yesterday we picked up a new family member!

We went to a local new pub a couple days back and they just happened to be holding an adoption event.

Well, this gorgeous little girl was there and there was no way to say no. So, it seems we're now a two dog family.

In other news, the full LibertyCon after action I promised is finally up on my website, www.caseymoores.net

Go check it out!

Onto the new releases!

First up, the audio is out for Pacific Shogun, Jamie Ibson's Fallen World novel!

Twenty years after the nuclear exchange that ended modern civilization, Daimyo Rikimaru Hanzo is the senior protector of the Shogunate. He is a Specialist—one of Teledyne’s enhanced warriors from the Corporate Wars—gifted with enhanced strength and near-limitless endurance.

Rikimaru, along with his fellow Specialists Ayame and Mikael, have carved out a small island kingdom in the Strait of Juan De Fuca, north-west of Seattle. Together, they have rebuilt a semblance of civilization under Shogun Kojima’s rule.

Resources are scarce, though, and they are in a constant state of low-level, casual warfare with the nearby Victorians. Their militia guards the islands with little more than bows and spears, and the Shogun forbids them from going on the offensive. It’s better, Kojima reasons, to lead by example as there has already been too much death and destruction.

But when an old enemy from his Teledyne days marches a horde of near-feral raiders out of the ruins of Seattle—up to the Shogunate’s very doorstep—all that changes, and Rikimaru is forced to confront his past if he is to forge a future for the people he’s sworn to defend…no matter what the cost.

The latest from John Siers!

A Storm is Coming…

Relations between the Lunar Free State and the nations of Earth continue to deteriorate, with Earth’s power brokers seeking ways to test the readiness of Luna’s fleet, bringing the nations to the brink of open war.

When the Akara reveal the location of a planet with a primitive human population, the Lunar Free State rushes to check it out, but thanks to a security leak, the Confederation of Nations also learns of the discovery, setting up a military confrontation.

Meanwhile, another Confederation of Nations operation threatens the Lunar Free State’s relationship with the ruling monarch on planet Tatanna. Luna’s Marines respond to that threat, but what will happen when the Confeds launch an attack on LFS naval forces in the system as well?

Lunar warships are forced to engage the enemy in two distant star systems, but the biggest test will come at home, as divisive elements in the nation’s own Lunar Directorate question Luna’s leadership, while its enemies plan for an attack that will cripple the Lunar fleet… without firing a single shot.

Will the Lunar Free State be able to weather the gathering storm?

From Mike Wyant, Jr., the Anisian Convergence continues!

Thanks to Sarah Martinez and aided by newly developed FTL—faster than light—technology, humanity has spent the last three hundred years spreading to every corner of the galaxy.

But as FTL jumps increase in number, a new danger presents itself: Breaches. Ragged tears in spacetime, they lead to a dead world filled to the brim with terrifying creatures that consume the populations of entire planets. In response, the once-secret order of Hunters has come forward. Wielding an eldritch force called the Sacred Flame, Hunters seal the Breaches and banish the demons back to Hell.

Dee Terganon is one such Hunter.

When a ship tears a Breach on the moon of a privately owned frontier world, Dee and her team respond, but when they drop out of FTL above the ravaged moonscape, there’s an otherworldly pulsing coming from the Breach… one that beats in time with her heart and rattles her soul.

The Breach is open, and the demons stretch into the void. Searching. Clawing. Consuming.

Only Dee can stop them… but it will cost her far more than she has to give.
