Book four in the Carson & Roberts T-Space Archeology series, The Centauri Surprise, releases this week. To encourage those who would rather read the series from the beginning, rather than just the recap (“Previously…”), I’ve put the whole series on sale, at 99 cents each (ebook), this week only.

I think followers of this series are really going to like where this is going. Several important events take place, which set up the next few books in the series. The relationship between Hannibal Carson and Jackie Roberts takes a turn, a new talisman turns up, significant advances are made on reverse-engineering alien tech, more of the Kakuloa backstory (which plays out in the Kakuloa series), more run-ins with Velkaryans, we meet again a couple of characters from Alpha Centauri: Sawyer’s World (older, of course), and there’s a brief wargame between Earth’s Space Force and Sawyers World’s Space Guard. And more. One of my beta readers called this my best work yet, but judge for yourself.

Amazon has some restrictions on what we can do here, so Book 1, The Chara Talisman, is “permanently” on sale until the publisher manually raises the price again (at the end of the month). Books 2 and 3 (The Reticuli Deception and The Eridani Convergence) are on a price countdown, 99 cents until Thursday (8/22) night, then 1.99 Friday, 2.99 Saturday (8/24), and back to the original 3.99 Saturday midnight.

And I hate asking for favors, but reviews do help, both Amazon’s algorithms and readers looking for new books to read. Please take a moment to leave one. Thanks, and enjoy!
