Artifact Space (2021)
(Arcana Imperii)
Miles Cameron
"Now I've read Artifact Space I know what it's really going to be like serving aboard an armed interstellar merchant ship, with a smart lead character as my companion. Can't wait for part two."
thumb
Ace Doubles (2021)
Eric Brown
"With Ace Doubles, Eric Brown has crafted a meticulously evocative story of an ageing author who believes he’s reached the end of his career. His eerie path to redemption is both poignant and mysterious enough to involve the reader right to the very last line."

Spec Ops Z (2021)
(Spec Ops Z, book 1)
