Gregeration X Newsletter July 6, 2024-The Heat is On!

I hope everyone is having a fun Independence Day weekend. There’s no doubt that it is summer now, hence the Darkhaven graphic at the top of the newsletter this week. It’s been super hot around here and from I understand a large portion of the country. Try to stay cool and safe!

I celebrated Independence Day with my wife, kids, in-laws, and aunt and uncle. I made smash burgers and bacon-wrapped hot dogs on my Blackstone. Very yummy. My dogs were looking photogenic and being unusually cooperative, so I snapped some pics of them celebrating as well!

Featured Authors

This week’s featured authors are Tom Dell’Aringa and Richard Rimington.

Blanchland Blues: A Sci-fi Adventure (The John and Alvis Sessions Book 1)

Tom Dell’Aringa

He’s a disgraced Star Corps pilot with a robot partner fresh off the junk heap. She’s a runaway with no future. And they’re the good guys.

Since being dishonorably discharged from the Star Corps, pilot John MacAlister has struggled to make ends meet with less-than-legal cargo runs across the cosmos. He’s desperate to get his life back, but every time John thinks he’s found that “one last job,” some new disaster lands him back at square one.

After an ill-fated smuggling run ends with a disastrous crash landing on the moon (and an even more disastrous landing in the local lunar lockup), John is offered a choice: rot in a Galactic Union prison forever or locate a teenage runaway named Ril and bring her back to the authorities.

The Survivors

Richard Rimington

A flat-broke captain. A deadly cosmic device. It’s his time to save the universe.

Tredd Bounty’s life hasn’t been the same since he was kicked out of the Navy. And bouncing between shady jobs and risky missions barely keeps a roof over his head. So when he picks up a rich gig to capture a deadly device that could tear the stars apart, he keeps his incredible power at the ready: the ability to stop time itself…

With his eccentric team of misfits by his side, Tredd flies up against an old sweetheart, a vindictive former commander, and a shadowy force racing toward the same artifact. As they hunt for the extreme weapon, the captain uncovers a dangerous secret that could send them crashing into a fiery supernova. It’s a good thing Tredd isn’t the only one with hidden abilities.
