The Heretic (Beyond the Wall Book 1) [Kindle Edition]

Lucas Bale (Author)

“World building is one of Bale’s strengths and he has created something which draw readers in and hooks them for the next instalment. It’s the easy familiarity of several other genre favourites, ranging from A Song of Ice and Fire to Farscape and Star Wars, alongside a wonderful Firefly vibe, and coupled with Bale’s unique and ambitious take, that makes The Heretic an enjoyable and compelling read.”

Michael Patrick Hicks, author of Convergence

“Lucas Bale’s debut novel is gripping, suspenseful science fiction. It seizes you right from the first word, and the chase scene at the climax of the story is some of the finest writing I’ve seen in the genre.”

Alex Roddie, author of The Atholl Expedition and The Only Genuine Jones

“One to watch.”

Eve Seymour, author of The Last Exile and Resolution to Kill

“An engrossing and tense post-apocalyptic adventure. Lucas Bale delivers in his exciting and brilliant debut that does justice to the Sci-fi genre.”

Nadine Matheson, author of The Sisters

Earth is gone.

Centuries have passed since the First Cataclysm ended life on the blue planet. Humanity’s survivors are now dispersed among distant colonies, thousands of light years from the barren, frozen rock that was once their home.

A new Republic has formed – one in which freedom no longer exists. In return for the protection of the Consulate Magistratus, citizens must concede their rights absolutely. The Magistratus controls interstellar travel, access to technology – even procreation. Every citizen is implanted with a device to monitor their location, health and nutrition and emotions – perhaps even more. Organised religion is forbidden. All crime is punished by banishment, or a lifetime of penal servitude aboard the Kolyma prison fleet.

Humanity’s true history survives only in whispers of a secret archive.

Yet there are those who preach a new religion and who want to be free.

A revolution is coming…

The Heretic is the first book in the Beyond the Wall series, an epic story about the future of humanity and the discovery of the truth of its past.

Lottery [Kindle Edition]

Kimberly Shursen (Author)

In this psychological thriller, nothing is what it seems. Caleb O’Toole has hit the mega lottery jackpot—but no amount of money can eradicate the malevolent force that is chasing him and threatening everything he holds dear.

With murder, suspense, and deceit at every turn, Caleb will do what it takes to hold onto the woman he’s vowed to never let go and prevent her from finding out the truth. But when he learns that someone is secretly trying to unravel his deadly past and expose him, Caleb’s mind goes to an even darker place.

From the San Francisco suburbs of Chinatown and Pacific Heights, to Shanghai, no one knows what Caleb is capable of—not even himself.

Once again, Kimberly Shursen, author of Itsy Bitsy Spider and Hush, has spun a riveting story that will keep you guessing until the surprising end.

Editorial Review: As loyal fans of Shursen know, her novels pull no punches. The same can be said for Lottery. Fast-paced, rich with intrigue and thought-provoking, this book keeps you guessing to the last page. The main character, Caleb O’Toole, is an anti-hero you can love and hate within the span of a few pages. But no matter how you feel about him, you won’t be able to put the book down until you know what he does next.
