- � e Speculative Herald
“[I]t’s the characters. It’s always the characters. From the

they’re all compelling. � e plot unfolded with precision but the
characters – and an interesting universe – kept me turning the
pages.”
- Nathan Lowell | Peer Reviewed Blog
In the far future, alien technology captured by the Union Earth
Privateers has fueled Earth’s tenuous expansion from a single
planet to a handful of systems across the Orion Spur.
Victoria Marin, captain of the U.E. Condor, and her crew of
Vultures have been running dry for months. In danger of losing her
command and her credibility if she can’t locate fresh salvage, she
locks onto the distress signal of an alien ship in the hopes of
finding valuable cargo. What she finds instead is First Prince
Tavram, the heir apparent to one of the largest empires in known
space. Tavram’s ship has been crippled a� er narrowly escaping an
ambush and his would-be assassin is coming to finish the job.
The Vultures launch a high-risk mission to rescue the prince and
recover every last scrap of xenotech they can before the hunter
catches up to his prey. But there are more dangers than notorious
interstellar assassins when it comes to ferrying alien princes
across the stars, and Victoria must contend with dangerous
alliances, old grudges, and even her own government if she means to
bring her crew home alive. Whether she succeeds or fails, the
consequences of her choices will a� ect the path of all
humanity.Science Fiction | Military SF

October 16, 2018 IF THIS GOES ON an anthology edited by Cat
Rambo
Our first anthology. A bold collection of political SF.
30 writers ask what today’s politics and policies will do to
shape our world a generation from now.
Thirty of today’s most visionary writers project us forward to
the world of the future; a world shaped by nationalism,
isolationism, and a growing divide between the haves and have nots.
This anthology sits at the intersection of politics, speculative
fiction, and American identity.
The choices we make today; the policies of our governments and
the values that we, as people, embrace are going to shape our world
for decades to come. Or break it.
“I can’t stop thinking about the world of Flotsam. Science-�
ction, alchemy, and airships. It’s magic.”
- Mary Robinette Kowal“Combining the best elements of steampunk
and space opera, placed in a lavishly detailed and imagined world,
Flotsam will hold you � rmly till the � nal page.”
- Cat Rambo

FALL 2018 WHERE VULTURES DARE by Scott Warren
Science Fiction | Military SF
The Vultures fly again in the third installment of the Union
Earth Privateers.
Having her vacation cut short by the news that the Union Earth
Navy lost contact with the long-distance relay Archimedes and its
Ionian colony, the Privateers are set out with a very simple
mission – find out what’s going on, help anyone you can.
Which would be easy, except for the dangerous traps two old
enemies have set for the Vultures. Not to mention that there’s some
long unsettled personal business for Vick complicating every
decision she needs to make. There’s no easy way to proceed when you
travel WHERE VULTURES DARE.

NECROPOLIS PD by Nathan Sumsion
CENTURY OF SAND by Christopher Ruz
How do you solve a murder in a city of the dead?
Jacob Green is the only living person trapped in a city where
everyone is already dead; a city concealed from the modern world,
made up of forgotten buildings, pathways and spaces. Every day is a
challenge for him to stay alive. When the city’s undead residents
forcibly dra� him into their police force, he has to prove his
value so that they will keep him around. He is faced with solving a
crime unheard of in their history. Someone, or something, is
killing those who have already defeated death.
And if he can’t figure out who is responsible, he may soon be
the next victim.
The Century of Sand broke a kingdom, shattered a family, and set
two men who once loved each other on a path to battle for the fate
of the world.
As a young soldier, Richard led a rebellion that overthrew the
King and placed his Magician on the throne. Now, a� er decades of
watching his comrades vanish into the Magician’s dungeons, Richard
has fled with his mute daughter to the desert wastes where magic
boils under the sand and demons walk the dunes in the bodies of
men.
To ensure their escape, he has stolen one of the Magician’s
greatest prizes; the calcified heart of a demon, which he hopes to
trade back to its original owner in exchange for sanctuary. What he
doesn’t know is that his daughter, Ana, is the key to all of the
Magician’s plans, and he’ll lay waste to the world to get her
back...
