Brief description for Bypass Gemini, Book 1:
“In a distant future, Trevor “Lex” Alexander was shaping up to be the next great race pilot until a fixed race got him banned from the sport.

This is the third book in the Flash Gold Chronicles, a fabulous steampunk series by Lindsay Buroker. Peace Maker was just released yesterday! All the books in this series are novellas, but they are absolutely worth reading.

You can find my review of Flash Gold: Book 1 — HERE
or my review of Hunted: Book 2 — HERE.

Book Description for Flash Gold, Book 1:
“Eighteen-year-old Kali McAlister enters her steam-powered “dogless sled” in a race, intending to win the thousand-dollar prize and escape remote Moose Hollow forever. The problem? Fortune seekers and airship pirates are after her for the secret to flash gold, her late father’s alchemical masterpiece.

With a hand-modified rifle and a pocketful of home-made smoke bombs, Kali wouldn’t normally hide from a confrontation, but taking on a whole airship single-handedly is a daunting task. Unfortunately, the other racers won’t assist her–they’re too busy scheming ways to sabotage her unorthodox sled.

When a sword-slinging stranger shows up, wanting to hire on as her protector, she’s sure he has ulterior motives, but he’s the only one interested in helping her. The question is…why?“

Flash Gold: Book 1 you can find it on Smashwords*FREE, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Nook Books.

If you have already begun this series, then you can find Peace Maker: Book 3, on Smashwords, Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Seeking Eden by Mehan Hart

“In a world where babies are rarer and more precious than diamonds, Tobin Winter leaves the small town that’s all he’s ever known and sets off on a quest to find a new life. Elanna is a hopemother, one of the few women in her community able to conceive and bear a child — but never allowed to raise one. Together, Elanna and Tobin set off to find a new world, one in which they both can thrive.”

 Arctic Rising by Tobias S. Buckell

Book description: 
“Global warming has transformed the Earth, and it’s about to get even hotter. The Arctic Ice Cap has all but melted, and the international community is racing desperately to claim the massive amounts of oil beneath the newly accessible ocean.

Anika Duncan is an airship pilot for the underfunded United Nations Polar Guard. She’s intent on capturing a smuggled nuclear weapon that has made it into the Polar Circle and bringing the smugglers to justice. 

Anika finds herself caught up in a plot by a cabal of military agencies and corporations who want Gaia Corporation stopped. But when Gaia Corp loses control of their superweapon, it will be Anika who has to decide the future of the world. The nuclear weapon she has risked her life to find is the only thing that can stop the floating sunshade after it falls into the wrong hands.”
