NEW RELEASE: FORMATION. Forgotten Space, Book Two

After narrowly escaping destruction, Nicholas and his crew find themselves flung far across the universe with no way home. When a distress call from a nearby planet catches their attention, they decide to investigate with the hope the signal is somehow connected to their arrival.

It isn’t long before the truth of Foresight’s mission comes into clearer focus, and Nicholas doesn’t like what he sees. He already knows there’s something disturbing about the circumstances of their escape.

The truth is more unsettling than he could have ever imagined.

Audiobook Update: Damnation

UPDATE: Damnation is now available for pre-order on Audible!

UPDATE 2: Contrary to the original post below, I’ve decided to delay the Sheriff audiobooks until January.

I don’t write many posts to this blog. Most of the time, I prefer to let my writing speak for itself. In this case, I wanted to give you all an update on the status of Damnation in audiobook format.

The last book in the Forgotten Vengeance trilogy was scheduled for April. Unfortunately, R.C. Bray caught COVID at the end of last year and fell way behind schedule. As a result, Damnation is delayed until DECEMBER of this year. Another long wait, I know, but we’re all doing the best we can.

The publisher has promised me a pre-order link ASAP. I will put it up here once I have it.

In the meantime, I’ve recently published Forgotten Starship 5, Evolve, which contains a couple of references to the events in Damnation (because I expected Damnation to be published this month). If you’re following that series, please use your discretion based on your tolerance of potential spoilers. You can optionally choose to read Damnation now and listen later. Click here to pick up the book if you want to go that route.

The Sheriff is also coming before December, and follows the events in Damnation. The references to the series are vague, but they do exist - especially with regard to Hayden’s characterization post-Vengeance.

I tried to time everything for the original release date. The problem now is that I’ve paid for all of these audiobooks to be produced, and I can’t recoup any of the costs until I put them up for sale. I’m not independently wealthy.

Again, we’re all doing the best we can.

Thank you for your understanding.

Cheers,
Michael.

New Release: Silent War. Cassidy, Book Two.

Cassidy joins the rebellion fighting the dark regime responsible for the suppression of the governing AI, pitting his extraordinary skills and resolve against the forces of corruption and control. While one truth has set him free, a second revelation awaits.

But will it elevate him to the next level…

...or lead to the downfall of everything?

Mindfracked. Cassidy, Book One.

I’m happy to announce the release of my newest series. My editor calls it some of the best writing I’ve ever done. Admittedly, she’s a little biased. But if you enjoy stuff like Altered Carbon, Blade Runner, Snow Crash, the Matrix, or other mind-bending, speculative sci-fi, you’ll really enjoy this one. Cheers!

In the twenty-fourth century, rising sea levels triggered by World War have forced humankind into a handful of densely populated cities surrounded by massive seawalls. Special agents known as Shades prowl the streets in bodies that aren’t their own, carrying out orders handed down from an AI created to shepherd humankind through the aftermath. Civilization clings to a tenuous thread.

When an elusive and deadly fugitive turns up in New Manhattan, Shade Cassidy is deployed to bring him in. But the job goes sideways from the start, and it isn’t long before Cassidy is neck deep in a dark conspiracy years in the making. Hunted from every side and unsure of who to trust, every move he makes will lead him one step closer to uncovering the terrifying truth.

A truth that will completely alter his understanding of his place in the world.

A truth that could alter the world itself.

New Releases. Yes, plural. Great stuff this month.

First up, the series finale of the Forgotten Starship series, Evolve

Join Joseph, Preslan, Tyson, and some familiar faces from the wider Forgotten Universe as they fight to keep the passengers of the starship Pioneer alive long enough to reach their new home.

My beta readers called this one a wild rollercoaster ride. You probably will too.

Second - The Forgotten: The Complete Trilogy, e-book and audiobook! If you haven’t read or listened to this one yet, this is an amazing deal to pick up Sheriff Duke’s origin story.
