Out This Week! 8th December 2025
8th December 2025 – The Lost Battleship – Vaughn Heppner
The effort almost killed him, but Maddox temporarily closed the breach to an alien dimension, one where genetic supermen rule humanity as gods.
The trouble is the master race’s Ninth Assault Fleet is still inside Commonwealth space—and destroying worlds with hellburner missiles.
Without the hyper-spatial tubes of the smashed Nexuses, the Grand Fleet can’t jump straight to battle. To win, Star Watch must relearn maneuver warfare across light-years against super soldiers bred for war.
Lord High Admiral Haig commands the fleet—but Captain Maddox has the plan that might save them all, if he can make anyone listen. Politics, assassins, and Directive 87 threaten to shatter Star Watch just when humanity needs unity most.
The Lost Battleship is the 24th book in the Lost Starship series, a star-spanning saga of deadly space war by millions-selling author Vaughn Heppner.

Sometimes a second chance is all we need.

12th December 2025 – Among the Shadows – Frank J. Cavill
An asteroid has crashed into the moon, and its fragments are threatening to destroy life as we know it.
The only hope for mankind is Project Orpheus, an unprecedented initiative on the part of the allied governments to enable human life to continue on Kepler-442b, a planet over a thousand light years from Earth.
Two spaceships are under construction, which will leave for that remote solar system with a specialized crew to terraform the planet and make it habitable. Steven Rhodes, the director of Project Orpheus, will travel in the first of them. His daughter Emily, a specialist technician in Artificial Intelligence, will follow on the second ship, five years later.
However, the journey will be full of dangers which the ship’s crew will have to confront.
Will Emily be able to join her Father and begin a new life at the other end of the universe? Will Mankind be given a second chance far away from the Earth?
