What if we were the first in our part of the galaxy to discover the secret of faster than light travel? What if this discovery was 10,000 years before it was supposed to be? Our neighbors had been watching for centuries and were surprised with our early arrival into the Web of Worlds... The Year is 2166: To the people of Earth, the universe seemed to be a very lonely place. Astronomers have discovered tens of thousands of planets; many had indications of organic life. SETI had been searching for signals for over 200 years. There had been a few tantalizing bits of radio or radar energy received but nothing ever proven to be of intelligent origin. But there was an alien civilization out there, in fact many of them linked together in a Web of Worlds. They were watching us quietly, carefully and patiently. It had long been the prime directive of the Web that no developing civilization be contacted until that civilization made it into interstellar space on their own; and that always took time, lots of time. Most Web worlds took 1,000 years or more to go from steam to the atom and none had made it from the atom to a sublight stardrive in less than 5,000 standard years. Every civilization of The Web had proven that faster than light travel was impossible, so there was plenty of time to watch the Earth... The watchers were astounded with the speed of progress of human science and also horrified at the periods of violence. By 2076 nuclear fusion power was widespread on earth. By 2100 the first interplanetary fusion ships explored the Sol system. The men and women of the Anglosphere Alliance began their first missions in ships approaching 0.1c. At that velocity, manned flight to even the nearest stars would take a lifetime. What would happen if a beautiful engineer and a brilliant physicist stumbled upon an artificial gravity field which would make a faster than light drive possible...

Wherever there are mafia members, there’s usually blood involved, not to mention a good chance that corpses aren’t too far behind. One could also say the same for vampires. Like vampire clans, once you’re in the mob, there’s no way out. The brash and impatient immortal, Alexei, finds these things out the hard way when he chooses the wrong neighborhood to claim his latest victim in Carl Alves’ second novel, Blood Street (True Grit Publishing; original e-book). It’s not long before Alexei has Philadelphia mob boss Enzo Salerno on a path to find him, determined to hunt down the man who killed his associate in such gruesome style. Perplexed by the unusual nature of the murder, Salerno uncovers clues that suggest his associate’s death wasn’t a mob hit. Something far worse got to him—a bloodthirsty vampire. Because of Alexei’s careless actions, Magnus, the charismatic leader of Alexei’s vampire brood, has no choice but to use all of his resources to save them from the mafia and the FBI.

A novelization of the video game State of Decay. Marcus Campbell and Ed Jones have been best friends for nearly two decades now. They live their lives of boring office jobs, fast food, and video games in the big city, but once a year, every year, they completely isolate themselves deep in the woods for two weeks. Their goal: total relaxation. Fishing, camping, drinking. Nothing but the two of them and a lot of good times. Their choice location is Trumbull Valley, home to three small towns and a lot of beautiful countryside. As they're wrapping up the latest vacation, they run into a true anomaly: a man in ripped and bloodied clothing, apparently insane, who is intent on taking a bite out of them. Unfortunately, it seems that this man was no anomaly. Roughly ninety nine percent of all the residents in Trumbull Valley are equally insane and craving fresh human flesh. Now, with a handful of unstable and unlikely survivors, Marcus and Ed must do whatever it takes to stay alive within the valley, because it seems that the military has instituted a quarantine, and they won't be letting them out anytime soon...
