An Unbreakable World
A petty thief is kidnapped to take part in the heist of a lifetime in this space opera from the author of Under Fortunate Stars. If something seems too good to be real, you've got to get out of there. That's the rule that Page Found has always followed. She's a petty thief with no memory of her past, scrounging to survive on a backwater outpost - until she's kidnapped by one of her marks. Her kidnappers - the cruel, self-serving Zhak and the tough maverick Maelle - plan to pass Page off as a monk from an ancient, isolated planet to help them capture a treasure-filled ship. If Page is willing to play along, they all stand to become richer than they can imagine. Everyone is keeping secrets, and Maelle finds her loyalties conflicted as she gets closer to their captive. Page can't remember the last time she counted on anyone. But to navigate this deception, she and Maelle will have to trust each other to survive.
The Galactic Expedition
In the thrilling sequel to The Galactic Expedition, David A. Joseph returns with Book Two - Echoes of the Forgotten War, a riveting continuation that plunges the Odyssey crew deeper into interstellar mystery and moral complexity. Picking up where the first book left off, the narrative explores the aftermath of a monumental first contact event and the awakening of the ancient Caral civilization, long buried in the depths of space and time.Captain Zulu and his diverse crew, including AI assistant Aria, multidimensional beings Ninil and Ishtar, and esteemed human experts like Professor Tashia and Doctor James, find themselves navigating a precarious web of diplomacy, survival, and discovery. Their encounter with Princess Odriin-a humanoid alien leader awakened from stasis-uncovers the history of the Caraliens, a once-great civilization devastated by a brutal war with the Tot Empire. The Caraliens' mastery of exotic matter technology and their evolution into near-human forms provoke awe, suspicion, and ethical dilemmas among the Odyssey's crew.As ancient technologies are reactivated, stasis pods open, and universal translators decode alien languages, the Odyssey's crew faces wave after wave of high-stakes encounters-from psychic energy surges to revelations of an intergalactic war that has spanned eons. The stasis technology used by the Carals isn't just a suspension of time-it simulates reality, potentially distorting identity and memory. Their knowledge of human biology and culture, their ability to adapt physically and behaviorally, and their unwavering reverence for celestial beings (including Ninil and Ishtar) hint at deeper spiritual and metaphysical layers.The novel asks provocative questions: Can humanity trust an alien species that mirrors them so precisely? What are the ethical costs of cooperation with beings who have waged war across galaxies? And what secrets lie buried in their ancient languages and celestial conflicts?Tensions mount as alliances are tested, old traumas resurface, and new relationships form. From the majestic but silent Caralien mothership, to the sharp debates of Earth's command center, the story explores the very nature of diplomacy, identity, and survival in a cosmic context. This is not just a tale of exploration, but of evolution-of species, technology, and morality.Joseph's skillful blend of space opera, military science fiction, and philosophical reflection provides readers with a narrative rich in both action and introspection. Echoes of the Forgotten War is an epic journey into the heart of what it means to be human, even in a universe teeming with intelligent life. The galaxy is vast, but understanding it-and ourselves-may be the greatest adventure of all.
Red Demon
On an isolated planet where unity is as engineered as its people, Jesse seeks the truth behind the slaughter of his family-starting with the immortal who spared him. A century ago, two human lines nearly wiped each other out rather than acknowledge their shared humanity. But when Jesse's mining town is slaughtered under mysterious circumstances, it's clear ancient bigotries linger, and rebels have access to some magic or tech capable of wide-scale genocide.​The Red Demon bloodied her swords in that massacre-a bioengineered immortal left over from that century old war. Jesse expected to be upholding his empire's fragile peace, not killing her own. Jesse is too optimistic and stubborn to break. Better days are coming-and he's willing to take on an immortal to ensure they do.​Faruhar, the so-called Red Demon, is not the mastermind Jesse expects. Her fragmented mind is ravaged by guilt over crimes she cannot remember committing, and a code impressed on her by a few kind people she cannot forget.​A fast-paced science fantasy with tense fight scenes, a spicy romantic subplot, and a twisty plot that punches you in the feels. Fans of Pierce Brown's Red Rising and R.F. Kuang's Poppy War Trilogy will appreciate this book.

Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Omega gamble on a mission to help rebuild Pabu in this thrilling adventure for The Bad Batch. A good soldier knows that life is all about change--whether it's on or off the battlefield. Surviving, living, means adaptation. Hunter is well acquainted with this lesson. He's on the run from the Empire, Echo's off on a mission with Captain Rex, and Crosshair is . . . still Crosshair, but amidst all the change, Hunter still has Tech, Wrecker, and Omega. And it seems that his small family might have finally found a safe place to land, far from the increasingly vigilant eyes of the Empire: Pabu. But their potential new island home is in desperate need of resources if there is any hope for the fledgling community to recover from a devastating sea wave. That's where Phee Goena, self-proclaimed liberator of treasures, comes in, with a couple of jobs she swears will get them the funds they need. Despite Hunter's concern with Phee's precarious plans, the rest of the crew is fine following her lead. Things go wrong almost immediately, as Phee's droid blows the crew's cover at a high-stakes auction, and they barely make it out with the relic they'd been paid to acquire. Hunter insists they finish their first mission and deliver the relic before taking on more work, but Phee and the others push forward with a second job: ferrying a couple on the run, one of whom is due to give birth at any moment. Hunter worries that they're risking too much, especially when their mysterious new passengers cling to lies and secrets that trace back to an Imperial Security Bureau officer hot on their trail. As Hunter tries to get the crew back on a stable, safe path far, far away from anything to do with the Empire's watchdogs, their overlapping missions only invite more danger and chaos. On the verge of failing both their desperate passengers and their community on Pabu, the Batch must remember that the only way they succeed, the only way they survive to fight another day, is by trusting each other.
