He's dying and he can't walk, but he can absorb a lifetime of knowledge within minutes. His friend, Ariock, is capable of smashing entire cities. But their enemies are even more formidable. Galactic leaders command trillions of telepaths who own everything in the known universe, including countless planets and alien slaves. They've launched an armada with nuclear warheads, and they're ready to enslave Earth and crush any potential rebellion fomented by Thomas and his allies. Even worse: Thomas's main enemy is the smartest person in the known universe. The Upward Governess is an obese teenager who commands armies and orchestrates galactic civilization ... and she will commit atrocities for a chance to defeat Thomas, and to reclaim the medicine they both need in order to survive to adulthood. The most brilliant, powerful, and ruthless warriors in the galaxy are about to collide. Copyright © 2018 Abby Goldsmith. All rights reserved.

This book is now combined with Book 1 and can be purchased in ebook, print, or audiobook editions: https://AbbyGoldsmith.com/majority ✴ ✴ ✴ ✴ ✴ ✴ ✴ All spacefaring civilizations are absorbed by Megacosm users, or else enslaved by them. Anyone who dares to question the elected rulers of the Megacosm--or worse, defy them--will suffer death by torture. Only Thomas escaped that fate. He severed himself from the Megacosm in order to rescue his former friends from slavery and death, and now he's hunted as a renegade super-genius. But if he's going to survive in alien wildernesses, evading ruthless galactic armies, he needs help from the gigantic prisoner whom he was forced to sentence to death. Thomas and Ariock have enough brilliance and power between them to bring freedom to the universe. They might destroy seemingly omnipotent galactic leaders ... but first, they need to figure out how to trust each other. ✴ Winner in the 2019 Majestic Awards Copyright © 2018 Abby Goldsmith.

Also in audiobook format! AbbyGoldsmith.com/majority ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ The galaxy-spanning Torth Empire just suffered an unthinkable defeat. Now the Torth Majority clamors for better leadership: a commander who can outsmart Thomas. It's time for the Upward Governess to seize absolute power, cast off the laws which constricted her, and do whatever she can to prove her superiority over rebellious runaway slaves and human hybrids. Thomas's starship is adrift and starved for water and fuel. Ariock barely clings to life amidst rioting refugees. The Torth have unlimited weapons, slaves, planets, space armadas, and plenty of super-human soldiers ... but a rebel nation is being born. The refugees are primed for war. With Thomas at the helm of their nascent civilization, even the mightiest of Torth quake in fear. For the first time in Torth history, the rulers of the galaxy cannot feel sure of victory. ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ Copyright © 2020 Abby Goldsmith. All rights reserved.

A complete fantasy book. Technically ... a weird western. Gunslingers, hex witches, dogmen, minotaur, trains that run further than you can imagine ... Mikeos Jones is a gunslinger, faster than thinking, part of the gunlaw, a man who can seldom afford the luxury of looking past the end of any given day. Jenna Crossard is a hex-witch, but her ambitions are larger than spells and charms - the need to understand the world consumes her. They say the gunlaw keeps men safe from the endless horror of the sect, but to Jenna it's a cage and she wants out. If that means breaking open the world and killing a few gods ... so be it.
