—Midwest Book Review

The Storm is Here!

Teenage superhero Mike Edwards, aka Stone Tactical, has been working hard to prepare for the Storm, but with one major problem—no one knows what the Storm actually is.

All doubt is removed when a horde of city-sized sea creatures spontaneously appear throughout the world’s oceans to wreak death and destruction across all of the coasts.

Mike rushes into action to save as many people as possible and find some way to deal with the legions of Kraken.

But perhaps the most important battle is the one that comes after . . .

Praise for Wil McCarthy:

“McCarthy is an entertaining, intelligent, amusing writer, with Heinlein’s knack for breakneck plotting and, at the same time, Clarke’s thoughtfulness.”
—Booklist

“Imagination really is the only limit.”
—The New York Times

“The future as McCarthy sees it is a wondrous place.”
—Publishers Weekly

“A bright light on the SF horizon.”
—David Brin

“Wil McCarthy demonstrates that he has a sharp intelligence, a galaxy-spanning imagination, and the solid scientific background to make it all work.”
—Connie Willis

“In nearly every passage, we get another slice of the science of McCarthy’s construction, and a deeper sense of danger and foreboding…McCarthy develops considerable tension.”
—San Diego Union-Tribune

“An ingenious yarn with challenging ideas, well-handled technical details, and plenty of twists and turns.”
—Kirkus
 

Looking for America

You’re twenty-something and looking for the meaning of life. If you were an 18th century aristocrat, you’d take the Grand Tour. In the 1960s, you’d hop a Greyhound, or get on your motorcycle. In 22nd century America, you take a road trip across the continent on the Orbital Bombardment Victory Road. Thanks to the spacers, there is one smooth, but dangerous, road, running through communities rebuilt and rebuilding, of Mennonites and Amish, of the fierce, proud Madmacs and the joyful Burning Men, and others diverse enough to boggle any attempt at categorization.

Join with three strangers in a replica station wagon making their way from Baltnomore to San Fiasco on America’s most dangerous highway. One is a professor at a prestigious university; one is an entrepreneur whose work straddles two worlds; one is a freelance reporter seeking fame, glory, and a way off the Allotment.

Dodging impact craters and road warriors, lake monsters and Burning Men, these unlikely friends find themselves on a madcap journey of self-discovery. But how far can you really get in a world where evil AIs call the shots and the use of electric light is punishable by vaporization?

From the Stormlands to the halls of Gem City, and from sea to shining sea, the apocalypse has never been so sweet.

Is It Aliens? The Government is Here to Help . . .       

When there is chaos, there will be consequences . . . but for whom?

In Chaos and Consequences, we find out.

Ten stories within all tell a tale of a single moment of chaos, an image built within each author’s tapestry. How they spin their chaotic yarn, though, is up to each weaver. With military science fiction stories ranging from the absurd to the deadly, there is something for everyone within.

Featuring bright new lights of military SF, many of whom are military vets: Sarah A. Hoyt, Melissa Olthoff, Kevin Ikenberry, Jacob Holo, Patrick Chiles, Joelle Presby, Jason Cordova, K.B. Carlisle, Nick Steverson, and Marisa Wolf, David Shadoin & H.Y. Gregor.

Because in the end, it’s not about the chaos involved. It’s about those who give in to it, and those who choose to fight.
