October Roundup of Scifi Books

Well, the last month I've been doing a lot of work getting orienteering back on its feet. As the chairman of our county club, it's been heartening to see so many people continuing, and many new people joining. It is a sport that lends itself well of social distancing, unlike Parkrun which has sadly suffered badly this year.

And here are the books you want...


Celeste is the Grekk Empire's top Envoy, but she harbors a secret.
The Enigma War destroyed humanity. Now, an uneasy peace rules the galaxy headed by the Imperium Alliance with the Grekk Empire working behind the shadows to increase its influence.
On a routine first round of negotiations with the Zandrax, a new species, at the fringe of the galaxy, something is amiss. A storm is emerging with the Zandrax bent on challenging the galaxy's order.
In the midst of this crisis, Celeste encounters a mysterious being, who will challenge everything she knows about herself.
Will Celeste be able to hold onto her secret? Can the Zandrax incursion be neutralized? And, will the peace survive this incursion?

Now Nazario must end an unfamiliar war in order to save the remnants of humanity before they tear themselves apart, trapped on board The Jericho...

The fractious Primals are the ancient, all-powerful rulers of the Creatites. Their origins are shrouded in mystery although Storytellers recite their legends. Tallic has recently been granted special abilities by the Barrier Primal that most other Creatites could only dream of, although he has an unexpected encounter with an intruder that changes everything.
What secrets have the Primals kept hidden since time began?
Nurilm resides within a decaying temple. One day, she chances upon forbidden knowledge about an enigmatic entity called the ‘Collector’, and an unthinkable battle waged long ago in which the Primals were united.
What does it all mean? And how is it all connected?
One thing is for certain. Siouca is coming.


Is it love, or is it alien abduction? Things keep getting weirder when young human Antaska travels in outer space with an alien and her psychic cat. Mischievous but evil part-reptile humanoids team up with Antaska’s nemesis, a genetically enhanced fitness instructor, to take revenge on her to the ends of the universe.


The United States is hit by an EMP from an unknown source and its citizens are asked to move to New York. Without basic survival skills and being in the middle of winter, it’s more of a journey to death for most. And then there is the increasing number of kidnap cases everywhere.
4 Unlikely Heroes... Xander, Aaliyah, Stephen, and Suzanne are individuals from worlds apart and with different conflicts. However, with suspicions of foul play in the country spreading, fate must bring them together to clear the air and set things right.


Blaine - A CEO searching for an elusive dream, bringing in a talented team, sets the wheels in motion for an impossible, far-reaching adventure.
Amy - An MI6 agent assigned to a mission wrapped in so much secrecy she doesn't even know what or who the target is, but is confronted with a life-changing decision.
Elliot - A brainiac researcher, who once believed that his PhD would lay the world at his feet, is learning about the reality of the frustratingly slow-moving wheels of university grant approvals and funding. Hungry to prove his controversial theories, he stumbles into an incredibly unreal opportunity that might give him exactly what he needs.


Struggling with newfound sentience and desperately trying to repair itself, The Indescribable Joy of Destruction is a ship trying to find a new home. In a galaxy torn apart by generations of civil war, that isn't an easy task. Tired of being used as a killing machine, it has a huge decision to make: hide and save itself, or help other artificial intelligences achieve freedom. Unable to make the decision alone, it revives the sole human aboard - the enemy officer who crippled it.
Commander Olivia Johnson wakes to find herself in the infirmary of a strange vessel. Her nightmares deepen when she discovers it is the ship that attacked her destroyer. Even as she recovers from her physical injuries, she can't get past her survivor's guilt. She might have failed to protect her crew, but she vows to take revenge on their killer.
When the ship uncovers a genocidal plot by the commander's own admirals, Johnson realises just what is at stake. Together, the AI ship and the human officer must recruit outsiders from both sides. Training the misfits in battle to prevent the atrocity may be an impossible task, but running and hiding is no longer an option.

Her entrance exam just became a fight for survival.
Subria is going to be one of the few, a Rider dedicated to scouting the food and resources her people need to survive, but first she has to pass the entrance exam. Of course, it’s more than just an exam, it’s a chance to attain the one thing that a Rider needs above all others; a steed.
The bond between these genetically engineered companions and their riders is legendary, and Subria wants it almost as much as she wants to follow in her father’s footsteps as a Rider. Legends might be all she ever gets to know it as though, because as soon as the test starts, something goes terribly, terribly wrong.
Now, Subria’s no longer fighting for a dream, she’s in a battle for survival.
