Retcontinuum pulls you down the rabbit hole of its narrative and doesn’t let go until it has finished explaining to you just how precious time is, and how ultimately the decisions we make are the most important things we have, no matter how much time we think we have.

Combining old school noir with the best of magical realism, J.T. Robertson gives his readers a tight, gritty crime novella about a man on the edge willing to do anything to get free.

Inspired by the work of a real scientist, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM is a fantastical piece of juvenile fiction about a little mouse and her connection to a society of highly intelligent rats.

if you haven’t heard of Brandon Sanderson, or you have but haven’t picked up any of his books, do yourself a favor and start with Mistborn. It’s the beginning of a trilogy (with another trilogy following it), the magic system is fantastically unique, and his writing will keep you turning the pages. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Turbulence is a superhero story without any explanation of how these people became superheroes, which is kind of a fun twist on the story. It opens on a scene where a young Indian Air Force Flight Lieutenant is flying around Indian airspace on a mission; and no, he isn’t in an airplane. He’s supposed to find a military base and destroy it–but something happens. His communication systems are intercepted by an unnamed man who tells him what he’s doing is stupid, and that he knows that someone is killing or kidnapping superheroes, and that he should join their fight to save the superhumans.
