(Note: The e-book version of this book is available for free and open-source in many formats at: bysoundalone.net) The surface of the ocean has become a contested place. International shipping is forced undersea, carried out by submarines fitted for transporting cargo. Captain Sylvia Percy and her small crew run one such boat, the Prospect. They fight a daily battle to keep their rusting sub from dropping into the depths. It's just another grimy job until they find themselves pursued by a military submarine driven by some inexplicable violent purpose. To survive, the crew of the Prospect push the machine that is their home to the very edge of its capabilities, while still trying to make their delivery on time. With a heritage that is equal parts 1960s submarine movie and 1970s trucker movie, By Sound Alone revels in the power of confined spaces and the dangerous operations that have always been the meat of compelling submarine stories. But it also breaks new ground with a setting of a fictional world where submarines are a critical part of global logistics networks. Derived from science fiction themes but never deviating from a commitment to realistic mid-century submarine mechanics and operations, this story propels a page-turner of a plot through a cinematic environment from which you will not want to surface. How about a bulleted list to make it easier for you? • It's free. Open-source-style free. • It's a page-turner.

Veteran Defense Command corvette DCNS Sackville had come out of the Luna yards fully restored with a fresh coat of paint, and was on her way to Belt Two to be turned into a museum. Aboard was Admiral Ken Barron - the supposed 'war hero' who would cut the ribbon at the museum's opening. Five years of flying a desk had tipped him into a self-diagnosed midlife crisis, and getting back into space was supposed to help. Instead, he and Sackville proved that clichés can happen - with just days to retirement, they stumbled into a crisis that could destroy them both, and kill nearly a million people. Making an out-of-season transit to the Belt, Sackville discovered a massive rock on a collision course with the Martian colony, Asteroid Epsilon. It was 2240, and as Barron recounts in this standalone book, the Epsilon Incident was about to change the history of the solar system... again. For more, visit defensecommand.net.

Red Moon Slices of Life are fragments torn from the daily lives of side characters in the novel Red Moon's Reflection. They are not full stories; their only goal is to show the characters in more detail and serve as a teaser (if you haven't read Red Moon's Reflection) or as an extra (if you have read it). Damon's Slice of Life (1,800 words): Damon Blackdart, the leader of the Lost clan, could get anything he wanted, except one person -- Trinity, his Beloved, who died centuries ago. Now, in the 21st century, he senses his Beloved's soul on earth once more, and he is willing to do anything to reclaim it. Uriel's Slice of Life (1,600 words): Uriel, the oldest of three brothers, wishes for only two things -- his brothers' safety and freedom from the chains that bind him to Angelica, who is angelic in name only. Muriel's Slice of Life (1,500 words): Muriel has always enjoyed the company of animals, probably because a part of him is an animal too. Haniel's Slice of Life (2,700 words): Haniel never cared for rules, even though he had to abide by them as a full-fledged Lueeshareteer, Bloodeater, and member of the Damned clan. That was only because his brother would get on his case if he didn't. Actually, his brother would get on his case anyway.

Each individual will have a point in time that they consider to be the time 'before', after which their life will have irrevocably changed. General consensus suggests that by 1099 AC it was already too late. But for some, it started long before that. For some of them will live, some of them will die, and some of them will last forever.

What made you write it? What makes it special?A - There's a saying, somewhere, that if the book you want to read hasn't been written, you must write it.

I like a gripping tale that zips along quickly in the time honoured tradition of adventure and action fiction, I love misfit characters, the weirder and more colourful the better. And of course, I like genre fiction mashups; Douglas Adams meets StarTrek, Doctor Who, Terry Pratchett and James Bond. Therefore, my cunning gambit was a fantasy that was also science fiction and would surprise me. I wanted weird alien races, fly cars, car chases, static powered laser guns... you get ...
