From the former Amazon #1 bestselling Military Sci-Fi novel (My Other Car is a Spaceship), my *****4.3-STAR-RATED***** action/adventure thriller:

Mars is a frontier town, filled with prospectors and mining camps. It’s a place of deadly dust storms and near-vacuum atmosphere. And then there’s the terrorist.

When James McKie leaves for his first job in space, he has no idea what he’s getting himself into. Traveling to Mars is harrowing enough. Surviving once he gets there is another matter entirely. Yet there is a discovery waiting to be made, one that could open Mars to human colonization—if it doesn’t kill everyone first.

My sci-fi thriller, THE MARS IMPERATIVE (Book One of The Imperative Chronicles) is available on Amazon in 13 countries: http://smarturl.it/TheMarsImperative.

Max and the Universe - Book I by TheSpaceRings

The multiverse theory states that there is a universe for every possible scenario, a number so large it's possibly infinite. Would that mean there's a universe where my book is real. 14 year old Max Carsley finds himself hanging in the delicate balance of being a normal teenager and learning how to rule a planet. He lives in a highly advanced interstellar civilization spanning light years, sharing it with 11 different intelligent bipedal humanoid alien species, including humans, with access to flying cars, wormhole portals, and the technology to traverse the stars. How can one find balance with this chaotic lifestyle? What are royalty really like behind closed doors? And most importantly... what secrets are the members of the galactic council hiding? Find out as Max, his family, and his friends discover things that not only lead him further down his path of fate, but help him discover more about himself and the universe. This is not your typical SciFi/Fantasy Novel. It's so much more. This story is a mix of teen drama and space politics. It's kind of a mess but like, so am I. Every chapter is important, so don't skip any! Is this book mature cause I like to swear? You be the judge. IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS A DRAFT!! THIS IS NOT THE FINAL VERSION OF THIS BOOK!! THE FINAL VERSION WILL HOPEFULLY BE ON STORE SHELVES CAUSE THAT'D BE SO COOL!! (Final version will include whatever tweaks are necessary to have all 4 books sync perfectly)

Return to Earth by BobRyan874

This is a completed novel that has been proofed. Editing will begin in April, 2022. Shortly after the first ships were sent to colonize Mars all communication with Earth was lost. The other ships that were supposed to arrive never did. What had started as the first of many became the only ones. Domes were built to protect the people living there, since Mars could not be conquered as the early scientists had hoped. Rather than their dreams of taming a planet, they settled for living with a place never meant for humans. Kierst is one of the descendants of those early settlers and works on the interior of one the domes. His job gives him the solitude he prefers with both work and home. He has no family and no friends, which is one of the reasons he is chosen to learn the truth about what happened to Earth and why everyone on Mars must return. He is among a small group who are entrusted with the greatest secret of his government. If his group fails, there will be no future for those living on Mars. Their secret fate lies with those who must return to Earth.

Elaina. In search of a planet. by GenndyGaro

Civilization on the planet Almatea could disappear without a trace due to the invasion of underground creatures. Several star teams have been sent out to search for a suitable planet. An Almatian named Elaina came from the other end of the galaxy to the solar system. At this time, mankind began to explore Mars. The meeting of an alien and people was fateful for both civilizations. A novel about a long and exciting journey: to the far reaches of the galaxy that frighten with their extremeness, to unimaginable planets that David Attenborough would dream of singing about in his stories about nature, to megacities that will literally turn your imagination upside down, about mutual assistance of intelligent beings of the Milky Way, about how one small animal will amaze with its devotion and behave like a guardian angel, about the migration of creatures across the Universe and how a dream becomes a reality. If you like Jules Verne's thrilling travel stories, the mystique of the universe as described by Charles Sheffield, and the adventure novels of Vladimir Malik, then you won't regret reading this amazing story.
