The Grey Mission

Blurb

In the distant future, technology has evolved by leaps and bounds. Space exploration and colonization is now the norm, Earth equipped with an agency and crew for these missions.

Major Collins is assigned to what he thinks is a routine colonization of Mars, attending a quick briefing with the Admiral before he’s to board the ship. He assumes everything is business as usual, but things take a turn when the Admiral insists on Collins signing a confidentiality agreement before the briefing has even begun…

The real reason behind the mission is far more disturbing than Collins originally wagered. His crew is not to know the details, even his pretty second in command, Illyana Petrovich, who Collins finds more than intriguing, especially as he spends more time with her.

As their journey begins, their mission is plagued with complications, though this does nothing to distract Collins from his budding desire for the redheaded Commander, the real purpose of their mission also hanging over his head.

It becomes apparent that nothing about this mission is routine and danger lurks even in the deepest corners of space.

Near the end of the eighteenth century, a ship’s captain named Robert Walton penned a series of letters to his sister. Through those letters, he told the grisly tale of an evil scientist who chose to play God—Victor Frankenstein,the fiend who created a monster.

It is anyone’s guess as to how the mewling novelist Mary Shelley came to be in possession of these letters, but she nevertheless published them as her own ‘fiction.’ In so doing, she inadvertently destroyed the life of one Agatha DeLacey.

Now Agatha is sailing the high seas, safely hidden behind the pseudonym ‘Talitha de Morte.’ Only once did she ever encounter Frankenstein’s monster, but that encounter left her forever scarred. Should she ever meet him again, well … she carries a dagger strapped to her thigh, ready, and waiting.

It’s time to rally the troops!

But ‘the troops’ are winged immortals with trust issues… and half of them are a little sus.

 

Inanna

So much for my To Do list.

The Etu Daku infestation has grown beyond anything we’d imagined as our mortal enemy experiments on Prime – humans of Earth – in order to… what?

I have no idea, but they’re targeting my Chosen.

Now I’ve got to get my cadre of over-powered and under-prepared Chosen ready to face the enemy of a lifetime.

But I can’t lose sight of my plans for Shamash. My Judge, my Chosen, and when he ascends, my kiang.

My mate for eternity… but first I have to get the rest of this shit sorted.

 

Cassandra

My life as a Chosen is starting off great!

I’ve been abducted – three times now! – and killed… Twice!

But I’m still going, tumbling toward a relationship with Ashur (abduction #2 – 10 of 10, would recommend), who brought me back from the dead.

My life has taken a turn for the surreal as I get ready to face the Etu Daku (abduction #3, dreadful, terrible… would NOT recommend). Ashur might want to side-line me, but I’ve had their cold ring around my neck, invading my brain.

This is what I was Chosen for, and I won’t let him hold me back.

 

Sabine

I’m so done with being the sad girl.

Am I ready to forgive my lovers for their lies?

No.

But I’m also not letting them go, so Inti and Menewa better get ready.

They wanted a Bloody Queen?

They’re about to get one.

 

Judged is the third book in The Nasaru of Earth, a fantasy/sci-fi romance series. It features a lot of very powerful, very sexy aliens with wings, on-going investigative shenanigans, and more than its fair share of smexy times… some of which are aerial in nature.

Also, there’s a cliffhanger.

 



 

About the Author

Adrienne isn’t from any one location, but she currently resides in sunny California. She’s lived in roughly half of the states in the Southern USA (East and West) and has seen some of the world, but not nearly enough. Travel is hard with a menagerie of one dog, three cats, and a snake, though, so she and her husband have to choose wisely. 

Writing is a new endeavor, but exciting, and she’s currently working on Book 2 of the Nasaru of Earth series, Chosen.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

The Akseli
(Aldebarian Alliance #4)
by Dianne Duvall 

Release Date: October 11th, 2022
New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall brings readers the next stand-alone novel in a thrilling new sci-fi romance series full of action and humor.

Simone has hunted and slain psychotic vampires night after night for hundreds of years and desperately needs a change. When the leader of the Immortal Guardians offers her an opportunity to guard ten mortal women who are venturing to another planet, she dives right in and finds traveling into space and meeting amazing alien races just as exciting as she’d hoped… until an enemy attacks. Simone saves everyone she can before she’s thrust into an escape pod and the ship explodes. Alone, fearing some—if not all—of her friends have been killed, she vows to seek vengeance.
Despite his fierce reputation and propensity for violating the law, Janwar has formed a friendship with strait-laced Prince Taelon of Lasara. When the prince’s ship is destroyed, Janwar joins the massive Aldebarian Alliance-wide search and rescue mission and soon locates the Gathendien ship that launched the attack. An odd thing happens, however, as he and his crew stealthily approach it. The lifeforms inside begin to perish, two or three at a time in quick succession. Much to his surprise, someone else has reached the ship first: one of the very Earth women he hoped to rescue.
Fascinatingly fierce, Simone bands together with Janwar and his crew to search for her missing friends and wreak havoc upon those who wish to harm them. She also widens eyes, drops jaws, and sparks laughter and mischief as she banishes the warriors’ world-weariness and makes each day seem like a new adventure. The friendship that grows between Janwar and Simone swiftly deepens into love. But the enemy warriors they face are tenacious and boast more weapons in their arsenal than the alliance knows. Can Janwar, Simone, and such a small crew vanquish them?

NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
A.C. James writes paranormal romance books for adults and erotica, including Eternal Ever After (rebranded as Eternal Lover), which was featured in the bestselling Spice Box anthology. Her Ever Dark Immortals series, which begins with Eternal Lover, has been described as “brimming with sensuality” and “romantic and sizzling hot.” The Isle of Horse Shifters series starts with Ride: Awakening, and is “lighthearted” that is a “joy ride from beginning to end.”
USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
Ann Gimpel is a USA Today bestselling author. A lifelong aficionado of the unusual, she began writing speculative fiction many years ago. Her short fiction has appeared in many webzines and anthologies. Her books run the gamut from urban fantasy to paranormal romance. Once upon a time, she nurtured clients. Now she nurtures dark, gritty fantasy stories that push hard against reality.
USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
Bianca Sommerland, author of the award winning Dartmouth Cobras series, was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec. After hitting the USA TODAY Bestsellers list, and being invited to teach several classes on writing in the sports and BDSM genre, they retreated to their writing cave and can still be found there, doing what they’ve always done. Which is writing whatever the characters tell them to.
When not reading neurotically or writing as though the fate of the world rests on their keyboard, they are either watching hockey or teaching their children the beauty of a classic, steel pony while reminiscing about their days in Auto Body Mechanics. Their dream is to one day own enough land to park a few junkers on so they can work on restorations in their spare time. They also wants a pony. And while we’re sharing their wishlist, owning a tank is somewhere around number 5. Not that they would use it unless there’s a zombie apocalypse, but they do like to be prepared.
Their time is balanced with utmost care between ‘normal’ family life, and being lured into the fictional realm where their characters reside. For the most part, they succeed.
USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
“I’m passionate about books and literature. The best books are intense, enthralling stories that readers can get lost in for days. Books delve into what it means to be human and connect us to each other. Books allow us to live all our possible lives. Books open us to loving each other and the world more. I write intense, deeply imagined romance novels for serious readers because the world needs more love.” ~~Blair Babylon
Blair Babylon is an award-winning, USA Today bestselling author who used to publish literary fiction. Because professional reviews of her other fiction usually included the caveat that there was too much deviant sex and too much interesting plot, she decided to abandon all literary pretensions, let her freak flag fly, and write hot, sexy, suspenseful romance.

Title: The Trial Show
Series: The Resistance Rises
Author: Konstantina P.
Genre: LBGTQ+ Romance, Sci-Fi, Speculative Fiction, Spy/Thriller Elements
Published: March 22, 20222

Forced into the shadows while waging war on an oppressive regime intent on controlling those born with unnatural powers, the Resistance feels like a family. And although all families harbour secrets, theirs are world-shattering.
 
When Ava Moore foresees the death of her sister Brooklyn and Resistance leader Parker Quinn is forced to appear in a televised trial accused of murder, the web of lies begins to unravel. For not only is Resistance’s second-in-command, Jay Frazer, fighting a guerrilla battle with deadly consequences, he’s also trying to bury his deep-seated love for Parker.
 
With Parker and Jay temporarily out of the picture, double-agent Trent Reese is left responsible for leading the Resistance. Trent is willing to adapt his moral code to any situation, but what—or whom—does he believe in? As for innocent Ava, who’s plagued by unsettling visions, it’s becoming clear that everyone she loves is in peril. Given, however, that Parker is concealing a mighty gift of his own, one that could change the entire course of the rebellion, the future of the all-seeing state is on the line too.
 
When the web of secrets is untangled, who will survive?

“Konstantina P. concocts a gripping plot in The Trial Show, her first installment in The Resistance Rises series. If you are looking for a mystery thriller laced with an unraveling tale of secrets, regrets, love, betrayal, pain, and so much more, you will absolutely love this book. Konstantina P. firmly embeds her sense of wit and sarcasm in her intense sentences. Her choice of words gives the story a professional touch. I loved how she used the first-person perspective, switching between the characters, in her exciting cast. This allowed me a wider scope of insight into the enthralling storyline. The author depicts scenes with remarkable emotional depth as well as making them impressively vivid. Konstantina P. wonderfully develops her characters, harnessing the power of introspection. Parker makes a lot of tough choices to protect his followers, but do they see things his way? I loved the book and I can’t wait to get my hands on the second installment.” – 5-star review by Readers’ Favorite
