Praise for Into the Real:
“The disturbing realism is balanced by dangerous monsters, clever tactics, explosive action, and a compelling twist at the end . . . immersive, highly technical near-future sf; perfect for dedicated gamers or for fans of Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One.”

—Library Journal

“I found myself enjoying the story and Raven’s relationship with the AI that’s her guide in the game, and I was invested throughout. It wasn’t so much a coming-of-age story as a growing into and appreciating one’s own skin . . . I’m really looking forward to how things will play out from here.”

—The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

“Ringo and Sherrer have created a modern day Ender’s Game using the technology of Pokémon Go . . . The characters are vivid and interesting, and the action is strong enough to carry you away.”

—Upstream Reviews

“The futuristic world of the gamers and the game itself will interest sf readers. . . . Teens will relate to Lynn, the main character, and if they are gamers, they will enjoy her gamer and VR adventures.”

—Booklist

Praise for Lydia Sherrer:
“Lydia writes with wit and charm—snappy dialogue and a warmth that makes the unreal feel familiar and close to hand. I always smile while reading her books.”

—Terry Maggert, author of Backyard Starship and The Messenger

“Lydia brings her characters to life in breathtaking fashion. Once you pick up her book, it is almost impossible to set down.”

—Jason Cordova, author and editor of Chicks in Tank Tops and
the Kin Wars series

Praise for John Ringo:
“. . . the thinking reader’s zombie novel . . . Ringo fleshes out his theme with convincing details . . . the proceedings become oddly plausible.”

—Publishers Weekly on Under a Graveyard Sky

“[Ringo’s work is] peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse.”

—Library Journal

“Explosive . . . fans . . . will appreciate Ringo’s lively narrative and flavorful characters.”

—Publishers Weekly

THE THREAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED,

THE TRANSDIMENSIONAL COUNTERFORCE ASSEMBLED.

NOW THE TRUE BATTLE BEGINS.

Lynn Raven thought she was fighting for glory and fortune. Instead, she finds she’s fighting for humanity’s very survival. But how do you defeat something you can’t see or understand?

The world’s best and brightest have come together to give humanity a fighting chance, and now Lynn has to find her place in the war effort. Boldness and competence are no longer a gaming mask to put on for the cameras, but a vital mindset shift she needs to survive. Can Lynn and her online persona, Larry, become one, and if they do, will it be enough?

The world doesn’t know the apocalypse it faces, and there are forces behind the scenes determined to re-shape society into their preferred image.

Lynn and her team will have to face enemies foreign, domestic, and alien, no matter what the cost.

The fight is at your door—what will you do?

Praise for The Redline Heist:
“[In] this nostalgic sci-fi caper . . . Mersault jauntily juggles heist and space opera conventions . . . fans of old-school science fiction will be excited to see where the series goes next.”

—Publishers Weekly

Praise for The Deep Man:
“In his first novel, The Deep Man, Mersault combines themes from Dune, Hornblower, and the Aubrey/Maturin books by the late Patrick O’Brian, to create a space adventure tale . . . Recommended to fans of Honor Harrington, Eric Flint, and Patrick O’Brian.”

—Cirsova Magazine
 

Praise for The Silent Hand:
“Fans of epic sci-fi such as Dune who eschew the length and depth of such writings, but celebrate their energy and complexity, will welcome the more succinct but equally vivid The Silent Hand. This is space adventure and world-building at its best . . . an epic story worthy of attention by any who look for vivid, immersive plots.”

—Midwest Book Review

A GENTLEMAN THIEF. A SUPERSOLDIER SURVIVOR. AN ALIEN MYSTERY.

Sophisticated, megarich thrillseekers drawn to a backwater system of the Confederated Worlds find more than they expected within the catacombs of a mysterious alien base: not only the anachronistic road warrior theme park where 20th Century “Old Earth” motor vehicles are raced for riches and glory, but an alien secret that has hidden within the asteroid for millennia. While the super-rich conduct business both licit and illicit, Warren Springer Stowe, self-professed acquisitions expert, and Cherry Aisha, veteran of the infamous Blue Light Brigade, become motorsport gladiators in a deadly series of high-speed clashes--and discover treasure beyond either’s greatest imaginings.
