June Roundup of Scifi Books

Not much to report heree this month. Chaos with work, family, and now in self-isolation awaiting someone's test result.

And here are the books you want...


Thirty-five years of peace. One vicious attack destroys it all.
Reservist Lieutenant Justin Spencer loves every minute of flying fighters through space during his annual two-week tour with the Coalition Defense Force. The job back home isn’t nearly as thrilling as blowing up asteroids with the squadron under his command, but it keeps him close to his wife and daughter. After all, joining the CDF was only for the free education. Justin never expected a battle, much less a war.
With one shot across his cockpit, peacetime fades into memory.
An unexpected enemy emerges with overwhelming force designed to obliterate the Terran Coalition. The League of Sol has a different name, but it’s the same communist regime that chased away much of Earth’s population hundreds of years ago.
Illusions of returning home are shattered in a single instant. Simulated battles become all too real, and it’s full-on engagement or permanent elimination. Death and destruction erupt across the Terran Coalition and leave Justin in a protracted war with only one truth remaining.
The battlefield will leave no one unscathed.


The Emperor of the galaxy has fallen, slain at the hands of his own son.
Forced into exile, Katrijn was tasked with a mission sent to her by her father from beyond the grave: free the people of the Andlios Republic. Her biggest hurdle? First it's the assassins sent after her by the emperor. After years alone on the fringes of the galaxy, who will be there to help her dethrone the mad emperor and reclaim the throne. Then, it's dealing with her brother...
The Mad Emperor himself.
Katrijn must carve her own path forward, forging new alliances and swallowing her pride to take whatever help she can find along the way, no matter how... unconventional that help seems, even from sworn enemies.
If dethroning her deranged brother isn't hard enough, she's not the only one gunning for the throne, making it a deadly race to save the people of Andlios.


SHOOT FIRST. GET PAID. SAVE THE GALAXY ... 2 OUT OF 3 AIN'T BAD.
When deep space bounty hunters Gunn and Salvo chase down a teenager linked to the catastrophic loss of a space station, everything about the job feels off.
They're used to greedy people lying to them. But honest people who should know better? That's new.
So they do the one thing you don't do in their line of work: Ask questions.
Before they know it, they're the ones with a galaxy-wide bounty on their heads... and the fate of humanity in their hands.


Terry Clark grew up surrounded by his parent’s life’s work, the rescue and rehabilitation of Cetaceans. Born just after first contact with the Galactic Union, he’s never known a time when aliens weren’t visiting Earth. At 10 years old, he had a normal life, until a visit from one of the aliens resulted in a ground-breaking discovery. The cetaceans have a developed and complex language…and it can be deciphered by the aliens’ translators.
When Terry’s father begins using alien implant technology to test the boundaries of the cetaceans’ language and society, though, he goes too far, and the fledgling world government becomes involved. Without warning, the scientists are labeled as criminals, and the cetaceans are scheduled for termination. In order to save the cetaceans, the researchers have to flee off-world with them.
In the Lupasha star system, Terry tries to begin a new life. While the world is ideal for the cetaceans, it’s difficult for their Human wardens. Even worse, the planet’s previous owners now want it back. As they don’t mind killing all the Humans in the process, Terry is trapped in a life or death struggle, which leads to a discovery that could change the course of humanity’s role in the galaxy.


The surprise attack within the Auriga Star System was worse than brutal, it was heinous—leaving the US-Navy's 3rd Fleet decimated. Thousands of crew are reported dead, including the ship’s Captain. Reluctantly, the young XO, Galvin Quintos, will be taking command of the fleet's crippled dreadnaught, the USS Hamilton, while doing his best to bring fleet survivors back to Earth. Going from bad to worse, there’s a murderer running loose onboard the ship. Add to that fuel levels are critically low, and the Grish are back and in fast pursuit—ready to finish what they’d started. Only by sheer luck, along with a good measure of cagey smarts, will Quintos be able to rise the challenge.


A terrible massacre was discovered... Did the same fate befall Sumer?
Captain Brian Royce brings Hadad to his home planet, which shows obvious signs of battle. Did any of his family survive?
Where are all the children... did the Zodarks take them?
Admiral Miles Hunt finds himself appointed to a new position beyond his current skillset. He now has to become more than just a ship captain and fleet commander...
He must become the Viceroy of the Milky Way Galaxy.
On Alpha Centauri, an archaeology team makes a discovery that sends shockwaves through the Republic—a discovery so profound it could cause a division and a potential split within the alliance.
The newly deployed 2nd Republic Army Group on the planet Intus finds itself the vanguard of the alliance's efforts to liberate the remaining Primord planets. As the Zodark forces are continually pushed back, the alliance edges closer to bringing the war to the enemies' core worlds.
Can Miles Hunt become the leader humanity needs him to become?
Will the 2nd Republic Army Group survive a gruesome battle on a frozen planet?


The story of the Klin has come full circle. After failing to conquer the Expansion -- again -- the aliens set their sights once again on Earth and the Human race. This time, they're bringing their deadly subcutaneous microchips to get the race to do their bidding. And their bidding involves another all-out war with the Juireans. But unlike before, this time the Humans won't have a choice. It's either fight ... or die.
Adam Cain and his team have followed the renegade Klin to the Solar System and learn of their plans. Now, it's a sad homecoming as Adam returns to Earth after a decade of being away, and even longer since he called the planet home. Now they must find the Klin surrogates, prevent the takeover of the Orion-Cygnus Union, and stop the Klin from forcing another bloody war on the unsuspecting people of Earth.
And this time, Adam is fighting Humans!
