Description

In the not too distant future humans can travel to the stars. Almost instantaneously.

The Marco Polo, captained by David Catney, is the first of its kind to lead mankind to Proxima Centauri outside Earth’s Solar System. Unexpectedly the ship’s scientists detect power readings, they confirm they are artificial, obviously alien and emanate from Planet III… a wasteland that suffered a devastating nuclear bombardment many thousands of years before.

Archaeologists discover an alien library deep underground and are astonished to unlock its secrets with human DNA. They determine a race called the Saiph have left a database to guide human survival against a merciless and previously unencountered enemy called the ‘Others’. Now that humans have found the Saiph, the Others will surely find them.

The Saiph Series comes highly recommended from fans of the Honor Harrington and Lost Fleet series, the works of Jack McDevitt, John Ringo, The Mote In God’s Eye by Niven and Pournelle, Asimov and Arthur C Clark.

A Fistful of Credits: Stories from the Four Horsemen Universe

 Mercenary science fiction in the same vein as David Drake’s “Hammer’s Slammers”

Fourteen outstanding authors. Fourteen extraordinary stories. One bestselling universe.

Alongside such eminent authors as Mark Wandrey, Chris Kennedy, Chris Nuttall and a host of others, I have had the distinct pleasure of having my short story, ‘Dead or Alive’, included in the first anthology based in the Amazon bestselling Four Horsemen Universe.

‘Dead or Alive’ follows Peacemaker Sally Sinclair across multiple worlds in her single-minded hunt for a group of murderous space pirates.

I’ll say no more you’ll just have to pick up a copy and enjoy her story along with the other great tales in this anthology.

If you want to learn more about the Four Horseman Universe check out Chris Kennedy’s blog http://ift.tt/2umMR8y

  The Blurb:

It’s the Twenty-Second Century. The galaxy has opened up to humanity as a hyperactive beehive of stargates and new technologies, and we suddenly find ourselves in a vast playground of different races, environments, and cultures. There’s just one catch: we are pretty much at the bottom of the food chain.

Enter the Four Horsemen universe, where only a willingness to fight and die for money separates Humans from the majority of the other races. Enter a galaxy not only of mercenaries, but also of Peacemakers, bounty hunters, and even a strung out junkie in the way of a hired assassin.

Edited by bestselling authors and universe creators Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy, “A Fistful of Credits” includes all-new stories in the Four Horsemen universe by a variety of bestselling authors–and some you may not have heard of…yet. The fourteen authors take on various aspects of the universe, giving you additional insight into a galaxy that isn’t at war…but definitely isn’t at peace. There’s only one thing for sure–anything’s possible for a fistful of credits!

Inside you’ll find:

Foreword by Dr. Charles E. Gannon

“The Last Alpha” by Mark Wandrey

“Breach of Contract” by Terry Mixon

“Paint the Sky” by Jason Cordova

“Surf and Turf” by Jon R. Osborne

“Stand on It” by Kevin Ikenberry

“Lost and Found” by Jon Del Arroz

“Gilded Cage” by Kacey Ezell

Invasion, book 1 of The K’Tai War series.

The Carter’s enjoy life on the colony world of Agate. Then K’Tai invade. Can the Carter’s use their secret past to save Agate from K’Tai aggression?

  Allow me to introduce my new three book sci-fi series  – The K’Tai War.

Invasion, book 1, chronicles a war of aggression between the 1,000 year + K’Tai Imperium, an empire which spans hundreds of star systems, and the up-and-coming new kid on the block: humanity. Humans occupy a number worlds which are governed centrally by ‘The League’.

The K’Tai treat humans with disdain, containing human expansion by controlling access to the mineral Redlazore, the key ingredient in the construction of ‘the’ star drive.  This monopoly is destroyed by the discovery of massive reserves of Redlazore on the border planet of Agate. The K’Tai are unhappy with this power change, in addition, the K’Tai Imperium itself is threatened by a seemingly unstoppable cancer, in the form of the ‘Secessionists’.

The Secessionists demand a root and branch reform of K’Tai society, formal recognition and equality for the Valan and the Sona, two previously conquered races subjugated by the Imperium. An increasing number of planets and systems are joining the Secessionists, drawing off loyal forces of the Imperium.

In a bold move Sidal, the Devisee (or heir) to the Imperium’s throne, orders the invasion of Agate. If successful, the invasion will secure a fresh supply of Redlazore for the Imperium, containing human expansion and sending the League a signal. Do not challenge the K’Tai!

In the midst of the political maelstrom are the seemingly ordinary Carters. Dave, is a mid-level executive with Henderson Shipping. Sue, is a high school teacher, Jodee and Chris, the teenage kids, complete the family circle.

When the K’Tai invade Agate the family are separated during the fighting, however, the Carters are not what they seem and nothing, neither K’Tai pulse rifles nor stretches of booby trapped wasteland will stop Dave and Sue reuniting their family. In the course of this the Carters are drawn into bloody armed conflict with the K’Tai occupation forces.

Invasion is on special pre-order price of $2.99 which will increase to $3.99 following it’s general release on 22 July 2017.

AUTHOR BIO

Paul P Corcoran is the author of several books, including the Amazon best-selling science fiction Saiph Series: Discovery of the Saiph, Search for the Saiph, Hunt for the Saiph and the forthcoming Legacy of the Saiph.  The first three books in the Saiph series are currently available on ebook, paperback and audiobooks. ‘Legacy of the Saiph’ will follow in all of these formats in 2016.

At the beginning of 2016 Paul collaborated with three other British military science fiction best-selling authors to release a four-novel anthology entitled ‘The Empire at War’ which became an Amazon best-seller within weeks of it’s release.   He is currently working on ‘Invasion’ the first instalment of the K’Tai War trilogy.  This trilogy will be published over 2016 and early 2017 and all three books will again be available as ebooks, paperbacks and Tantor Media, the largest independent audio book publisher in the US, has already optioned the trilogy.

Most recently Retropunk have optioned the Saiph Series and will soon be publishing the ebook and paperback in Portuguese.

Paul grew up in the British Army having joined at just 17 ½ years old and spent the next twenty plus years there while devouring any and all science fiction he could get his hands on. Post army he stayed in the security and intelligence worlds and with more time on his hands put his military skills and experiences to good use by combining them with his lifetime love of sci-fi to create stories of space marines, space battles and fantastic technologies for his reader’s enjoyment (and his own).

With the success of his début Saiph series Paul has turned his one-time hobby into a career and now concentrates on writing, much to the horror of his wife who puts up with him at home on a full-time basis.
