  This description and this book contain spoilers for the author's Peridot Shift series. It is recommended that you read FLOTSAM and SALVAGE first! 
  A gothic horror set in the world of Peridot, Mary Shelley's influence permeates this magic-infused tale of hubris, horror, and obsession. 
  Following the events of Peridot Shift Book Two, SALVAGE, a Yu'Nyun gas released on the trade winds is tearing people's souls from them, leaving their bodies violent, anguished husks. Ada's brother, Elias, is one of many of the foul winds' victims. 
  Launching a desperate plan to bring him back, Ada hires a bounty hunter to procure an empty body for her brother's preserved quintessence. If Ada can re-bond Elias's soul to this new body, they can help the other citizens of Peridot who were similarly devastated. 
  But when the bounty hunter brings her a mermaid, one of Onaya Bone's dangerous experiments, Ada's plan for redemption spirals into a hellish nightmare. The flesh-eating mermaid may not have a soul, but she won't allow Elias to have her body without a fight.

  "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" Stevenson's famous exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil, has become synonymous with the idea of a split personality. More than a moral tale, this dark psychological fantasy is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution, criminality, and secret lives. Also in this volume are "The Body Snatcher," which charts the murky underside of Victorian medical practice, and "Olalla," a tale of vampirism and "The Beast Within" which features a beautiful woman at its center.

  A failed military training exercise. An alien incursion, desperate and on the hunt. Survival is just the beginning… 
  Finn had thought he'd seen it all...but no...he had to admit... 
  Not quite everything... 
  There was a big universe out there and it was about to land in his lap. 
  Just how bad could it be? 
  Insubordinate and on the edge, Finn is a troubled war hero racked by guilt, overseen by an unyielding Commanding Officer while dragging his ragtag group of rookies through basic training. Suddenly caught up in a major global crisis, he joins with Gunner Zuri Zuberi, leading Delta Squad in a desperate struggle for survival when an alien incursion lands slap bang in the middle of their training session—killing indiscriminately and pitting inexperienced soldiers against the power of alien technology. 
  With the modern-day world panicking after the small alien force penetrates Earth's ineffective defences, a second incursion drops into the atmosphere, revealing more of the enemy’s capabilities. As losses mount, the world’s armed forces find themselves helpless to act when the aliens reveal a weapon that could change modern warfare forever. 
  This new alien tech breeds greed and mistrust amongst opposing countries. The need to be the first to acquire it, escalating beyond political conflict as governments circle, missiles at the ready. 
  Finding themselves alone in the fight for Earth's future, Delta Squad discover the aliens are more than they seem, and that alien technology can be just as deadly in the hands of humanity when they unearth the Weapons of Choice. 
  Listen to Hostile Contact, an action-packed sci-fi survival novel–where ‘Predator’ meets ‘Full Metal Jacket’ in a pulse-pounding, non-stop thrill ride. 
  'Fantastic Military Sci-Fi thriller...masterful' B.R. Keid, author of Intrusion Protocol

  Blending in with her vast expanse of sky, Mother Nature, an immense, translucent, all-seeing-spirit looks over her Earthly realm, only to notice a random kid named Randall who is living his worst nightmare while he sleeps! His mind is overcrowded by remnants of his real life, and he is taunted from all sides by devious-shadow-creatures belonging to the world of nightmares! 
  That said, there are many dreams of one particular little girl close at hand. 
    
  Sure, this short-shadow-story is a standalone “one-off”, although, one can think of it as a “pre-prologue” to Shylow’s and Qiairah's epic “Dreamy Adventures in Bare Feet!”, where Dreams and “Dream-mares” share center stage.  
    
  	Look for the Pre-order of the full-length novel and audiobook… 
  	“Shylow, A Shadow-Story: Dreamy Adventures in Bare Feet,” 
  	 Arriving 2024.
