The Indie Superstars SF Bundle – Curated by Robert Jeschonek

Did you know we live in a golden age of publishing?

Indie authors—those who work outside the traditional publishing world—are free to write and publish what they want, unleashing their creative visions to their fullest potential. Thanks to online retailers with self-publishing platforms, the gatekeepers of traditional publishing can’t stop indie writers from reaching an audience.

And readers have more content to choose from than ever before.

In the realm of science fiction, this opens up vast universes of possibility, swirling with stories that could never have been told in exactly the same way until now. We, the authors, can write and publish whatever explosive and meaningful books we want, unobstructed by a hidebound establishment.

And we, the readers, have mountains of wonderfully imaginative books to get lost in as a result.

As a longtime indie author/publisher, I was inspired to bring together the leading indie lights of our day and unite them in one spectacular StoryBundle. I wanted to make it a snapshot of this amazing moment in time, nearly a decade after the start of the indie revolution, as the indie publishing industry blossoms like never before.

That’s why I put out the call to so many top guns of the indie movement. Because of their spirit of cooperation and commitment, you can enjoy this dynamite bundle of science fiction books by all-star, out-of-this-world talents who rock futuristic action and characterization like no one else working today. Here’s a taste of what you’ll get:

• Red Team Alpha: A Crimson Worlds Adventure by Jay Allan – A unit of elite Martian warriors is caught between an alien horror and the sinister intelligence forces who will stop at nothing to claim its dark power.
• The Zoo: Apocalypse Paused Boxed Set by Michael Anderle and Michael Todd – In this boxed set of four books within the bundle, a dangerous habitat for wildly mutated lifeforms with alien roots draws the best and brightest of humanity to uncover deadly secrets and fight for survival.
• Corpsman by Colonel Jonathan P. Brazee, USMC (RET) – Plunged into the fires of war, Nova Esperança, a Navy medical Corpsman, must not only care for her wounded space Marines, but fight to defend the Federation.
• The Circuit: The Complete Saga by Rhett C. Bruno – A band of unlikely saviors join forces in an all-or-nothing struggle to thwart a threat to the spaceborne colonies known as the Circuit.
• Dark Stars Trilogy Book One: Crystalline Space by A.K. DuBoff – In a universe where high technology and magic co-exist, a woman with unique powers leads a team on an interstellar quest to stop an all-consuming darkness from tearing reality asunder.
• A Captain’s Crucible Book One: Flagship by Isaac Hooke – Cut off from Central Command on the fringes of known space, a space fleet commodore must fight off a threat to all humanity.
• Juno Rising by Patty Jansen – A soldier with amnesia must protect a terrible secret from the power-hungry forces that would destroy entire worlds to get it.
• Starbarian Saga Book One: Horde’s Challenge by Robert Jeschonek – EXCLUSIVE TO THIS BUNDLE! Barbarian warriors in a postapocalyptic future are called to battle an overwhelming threat from beyond the stars.
• Janissaries by Chris Kennedy – Aliens recruit a war hero and his special forces platoon to fend off an invasion that could wipe out all life on Earth.
• Element-X by B.V. Larson – An agent with special abilities leads a crack team to claim the secrets of a crashed alien ship, only to end up at war with competing salvagers and the aliens themselves.
• Ragnarok Rising by Kevin McLaughlin – Earth itself is on the line unless a human spaceship commander and a refugee of the far-flung Cymtarran Empire join forces against the villainous Skree.
• Exile by Glynn Stewart – Exiled to the edge of the galaxy, the son of a tyrant must carve out a new home for his fellow refugees…but violence and tyranny might be the only way they can make a newfound paradise their own.
• Trevalyn Academy by James David Victor – A disgraced cadet unearths deadly conspiracies at a military academy and must stand up and fight for the cause of galactic freedom.

How’s that for a lineup? If you love action, science fiction, or just great writing, this bundle will light up your universe in all the best ways. Grab your copy during the very limited sales window, load your e-reading device or app, and launch yourself into orbit for some breathtaking, soul-stirring, and thought-provoking fall and winter reading. – Robert Jeschonek
