Millions of years in the future, humanity has been driven out of the Milky Way and now calls the Andromeda Galaxy home. Lost in their murky past are the tales of great knights that held the line against the invasion of a dark force until the rest of humanity could escape their doom. The last and greatest of these knights was Galen Underwood.

Long after that heroic stand, a mercenary by the name of Galen Dwyn has been hired to rescue a kidnapped princess. Enticed by a healthy down payment and a chance to settle an old score, Galen accepts the job, only to find out it's a lot more than he bargained for. Soon Galen finds himself weaving and dodging through a web of political intrigue as the very forces that chase him have set in motion plans that will throw the galactic alliance into civil war. To his surprise, he also finds that the rescued princess might not be quite the spoiled brat he rescued from the clutches of her keeper.

Accompanied by the princess, his former mentor, and a snarky AI, Galen sets out to find a way to outsmart entire kingdoms, keep the princess alive, and avert the deaths of millions. Of course, he'll also learn the reasons behind his namesake's chosen path, as he realizes that the only way to win is Galen's way.

OF ALL THE GIN JOINTS IN THE UNIVERSE - Richard Paolinelli

Imagine you're a 32-year-old Master Chief in the U.S. Navy named Walter Koch, and you're not just testing any old diving suit; you're in what's essentially a high-tech, sci-fi wetsuit for Project Seadragon. This suit lets you swim deeper than a submarine's dreams, without the hassle of tanks or the fear of the bends. But, as luck would have it, your test dive goes south faster than a penguin on a ski lift. An explosion sends you rocketing towards the surface, leaving your team in a rather permanent state of "rest." When you wake up, you're not just in the suit; you are the suit, in a manner of speaking. It's fused with you, and nobody's got a clue how to get you out.
The Epsilon Wave: Enter Brad Jefferies, head of the mysterious Epsilon Project, who's got more secrets than a government file on UFOs. He convinces Koch that the accident was no accident (because why would it be simple, right?). Koch finds himself in a world where the human mind's potential, dubbed the Epsilon Wave, has created beings known as Exotic Humans. It's like if your brain could manifest your deepest fears and fantasies, and then they started hanging out with you.
Ancient Cities and Underwater Wars: Just when you thought things couldn't get weirder, Koch discovers Mu, an ancient city that sank with Atlantis but decided to keep the party going underwater. Both cities, alive and kicking at the bottom of their respective oceans, are about to kick off a war that could make the surface world's problems look like a minor squabble over who ate the last slice of pizza.
This novel marks Richard Paolinelli's return to the Seadragon universe after over 35 years. He was the writer for the first two issues of the original comic series back in '85, so he's not just revisiting; he's expanding the lore with the depth of someone who's been there, done that, and got the t-shirt fused to his skin.
"Seadragon" isn't just a tale of underwater adventure; it's a dive into a world where the supernatural and the scientific collide, with enough plot twists to make a pretzel look straight. If you're into stories where the line between man and machine blurs, where ancient cities wage war beneath the waves, and where every dive might just be into the unknown, then "Seadragon" is your kind of deep-sea adventure. Just remember, when you're in over your head, sometimes the only way out is through.

ESCAPING INFINITY - Richard Paolinelli

“I have waited for this day for many millions of your years,” the woman continued. “I feared that you would not come in time.”

“Who are you?” Matsuo asked, the first of the two men to find his voice.

“My name is Oracle Veritas,” she replied, “I am of the House of Delphi in the Caste Olympia. I have been tasked to tell you our story. There is much to tell and precious little time to tell it.”

“Why?” Buffa asked.

“Because a dark force is rising up once again,” the strange woman replied. “And I fear that this time it will destroy us once and for all.”

WHITE OPS BOOK #2

On October 8, 1956, New York Yankees pitcher Don Larsen threw the only perfect game in World Series history against the Brooklyn Dodgers. But the story you have never heard, a story that, had it not happened the way it did, might have changed the very history of baseball is the story of the man in the mask and blue umpire suit standing behind the plate and Yankees catcher Yogi Berra. That man was Ralph "Babe" Pinelli.

Had it been any other umpire that day other than Pinelli, Larsen's perfect game might never have happened, if not for how Pinelli grew up in early 20th Century San Francisco, how he overcame losing his father in the 1906 Quake, how he overcame his hot temper to become a major league baseball player and umpire.

Perfection's Arbiter looks at the amazing life and career of Ralph "Babe" Pinelli, the man fate chose to be exactly where he needed to be on one of the game's greatest days.

As a specialist in deception analysis and interrogation, Veronique de Tournay has been right where she wants to be: a profiler in the major cases bureau, Division 7.

Unfortunately, the director has reassigned her to Special Agent Carter, and neither of them are happy about it. After they stop a devastating attack on Mars, meant to kill thousands and cripple interplanetary travel, Carter and de Tournay discover evidence of other subversive attacks in the system. With time running out, the reluctant partners may be the only ones standing in the way of a conspiracy that stretches all the way from Luna to the Saturn Space Station.

PHOENIX - Lori Janeski

THE CARTER FILES BOOK #1

Revenge is a dish best served in space.

Dozens of children across the Interplanetary Commonwealth have disappeared from their homes. There are no motives, no ransom demands, no bodies, and nothing to connect the victims to each other – except the kidnapper’s signature, a single raven feather left at each scene.

With no progress on the case, it has been reassigned to Special Agent David Carter and his new team of Division 7 agents. Together with his wife, retired agent and profiler Veronique Carter, they must race against the clock--and obstacles within their own agency--to find the missing children before it’s too late.

But the closer they get to the culprit, the more it appears his real target might be them.
