Definition of the "Science Fiction Genre": The focus of this subgenre of fiction is science and technology, especially as they will possibly exist in a future time.  Some of the typical aspects of a Science Fiction ebook are time travel, future worlds with technology that may not even be contemplated at this point, aliens and other life forms, and travelling in space.  What separates the Science Fiction subgenre from the Fantasy subgenre of fiction is that the imagined or invented elements of a Science Fiction novel typically have more of a probability of existing.  They are based upon scientific principles, not principles of magic.

 

Some examples of bestselling ebooks in the Science Fiction genre are Frank Herbert (Dune), Isaac Asimov (Foundation), Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game) and George Orwell (1984).  

Fluorescence: Fire Starter

by P. Anastasia


In a genre all its own, Fluorescence fills a niche between audacious teen romance, urban fantasy and sci-fi.

Alice was a normal teenager until a dying race of aliens chose her and a handful of other teens to help preserve an endangered form of DNA known as Fluorescence. Now she and the others must hide their secret from the rest of the world, while trying to learn the truth behind the mysterious living light.

Each volume in the Fluorescence series is narrated by a different character, driving the story forward in a new and exciting way. Fluorescence evolves from a quiet beginning into a gritty and unabashed look at real-life limitations these teenagers face while coping with a life-changing secret.

The Planetsider: Uncover the past. Fight for the future.

by G J Ogden

 

A story of self-discovery, belonging and hope.

Several generations after The Fall - an event that caused the near annihilation of all life on the planet - the scattered pockets of civilisation that grew in its wake live in ignorance of the past. No-one wants to know what caused such devastation or why. No-one, except Ethan.

Ethan used to believe in the guardians; mysterious lights in the night sky that, according to folklore, protect the survivors and safeguard them from The Maddening. This debilitating sickness killed many of the earliest survivors, and twisted others into Roamers, dangerous nomads stripped of their humanity and conscience. But the death of Ethan’s parents when he was a boy shattered his faith and instilled within him a hunger to learn the truth.

One night as Ethan watches, a light grows brighter in the night sky and crashes to the planet’s surface near the ruins of an ancient city. Ethan volunteers to investigate and finds Maria, a descendant of the pre-Fall civilization, which is trapped on the moon, unable to return to the irradiated planet. Maria has risked everything to find a Planetsider; a man or woman born on the planet and possessing a natural resilience to the radiation. She needs Ethan’s help to save her people, and in return Ethan will finally know the truth about the planet’s past. But this truth comes at a terrible cost and Ethan finds himself at the centre of a conflict that has raged for generations, placing his own life and the lives of the people he loves in the balance.

Powerful, thought-provoking and emotionally absorbing, The Planetsider is a gripping, post-apocalyptic thriller that will keep you hooked until the very end.

One day, a party of hunters sets out to climb the mountain. To their dismay, the Seers cannot control a strange unreachable young woman who finds the passage to their protected valley. The reunion triggers a decades-long conflict between the Seers and the children of the “lost ones”—a struggle that forever changes the people of Verde Grande.

Time Trap: Red Moon trilogy Book 1

by Micah Caida


In this coming of age Red Moon trilogy, USA Today bestseller Micah Caida turns dystopian young adult fiction on its ear with a breathtakingly fresh science fiction, fantasy story that is as much a thriller as it is a romantic tale.

Rayen’s memory is blank. Her future's in question. Her power is dangerous.

I awoke in an unknown desert landscape that I felt I should recognize, yet I have no real memory of this place or…who I am. A strange ghost told me my name and that I’m seventeen, but he disappeared just as I could have used some help. I was captured along with others my age who said the land was called Albuquerque, then I was handed over to a private school where at times things are as familiar as the nearby mountain range and as alien as seeing a reflection of my face. Everyone thinks I’m a Native American runaway, whatever that is, but the school has offered me a place to stay until they learn my true identity, or my memory returns. As if things aren’t confusing enough, while stuck with a cocky computer-savvy boy and a gifted, but oddball, girl the three of us discovered a secret that threatens the existence of this world - and the future. In the middle of all this, I'm drawn to a seventeen-year-old boy who is as deadly as he is attractive and thinks I’m the enemy.

"I was totally captivated by every scene in the first book...The imagination of Micah Caida takes the reader on an exhilarating journey…TIME TRAP is originality at its best." ~~Amelia Richard, SingleTitles

The Seers (The Enlightened Series Book 1)

by Katherine Bennet

In a secretive scientific society on the brink of war, two women targeted for their abilities will show what it means to fight back.

Nora is a Seer, but she doesn't know it. Exiled from the Enlightened Society and her memories erased, she has no idea that she's a rare genetically enhanced probability expert. But the war has changed things. The people who once rejected her now see her as both a weapon and a liability. When a pair of eccentric strangers try to warn her, she's skeptical--right up until the point when futuristic soldiers storm her home with guns drawn.

On the opposing side, Annabel lives a life of privilege and prestige as a member of the ruling family. But her status can't protect her from her brother Cyrus, who will do anything to assert his dominance over both factions of the Enlightened. He subjects Annabel to a dangerous genetic modification, hoping she will become a Seer herself.

Targeted and alone, both women will have to form alliances to survive. Nora is forced to seek the help of an irascible outsider she can't remember--and yet there is something about him that hints at a forgotten past, drawing her closer. Annabel refuses to be a pawn in her brother's game and plots to take him out, but her plans are foiled by her friend, Jasper. He doesn't turn her in, but as Cyrus's right-hand man, she might not be able to trust him.

Even as Seers, it will take everything they have to avoid falling victim in a war where attacks are launched from hidden cities, people can be tracked by their genetic profile, soldiers can teleport, and a puff of air can be as lethal as a bullet. Cyrus must be defeated, but can they live long enough to do it?

Fans of Marissa Meyer's The Lunar Chronicles or J.C. Andrijeski's Bridge and Sword Series will love The Seers, Book 1 of the Enlightened Series.

Action Figure (88.3)

by Giles Becker


Bude Rundel is an underground leader in an intense future of rebellion and urban warfare. He fights in the hard streets of a world going to ruin.

He learned his skills in places hard to describe. His sensei was a man who lived in the cook shack. Bude Rundel is not his real name. He is as old as the hot geography of the Western Cessions themselves and as young as he wants to be. The world is ruled by the corrupt police force known as Forensics. In the vital and chaotic world of the great city-slums the underground men move like fish in water. Above it all an old satellite broadcasts the literature and music of the ancient world at 88.3 FM and nobody can shut it up. The ancient stories speak of years with numbers and open country and green rivers with men fishing from the banks in sloppy hats, free as birds, careless of spying devices, eating egg sandwiches. What a world that must have been; America of Late Antiquity. The satellite also broadcasts music that is both strange and beautiful. Interspersed with the music and stories are coded messages, being sent out from somewhere unknown by a girl named Nadia. Action-packed, character-driven, a world where courage and scavenging skills will get them through to victory.

Even in the interrogation room Bude can hear a radio playing down the hall. The message in code is Now. Now. The time for breakout is now. The great storms have broken over the world, and a lightning strike kills the electricity. The lights dim, the radio voice stops, all the electronic locks are sprung. Bude stands up. Hey, he says. It's been interesting but right now you're a dead man. I've got stuff to do.

Defiance (Rise of the Iliri Book 3)

by Auryn Hadley

 

HER ONLY CHOICE IS TO CHANGE HER WORLD…

Salryc Luxx has come a long way in just four years, from slave to conscript, to elite Black Blade assassin, rising rapidly as her extraordinary abilities are revealed. Promoted to lieutenant after capturing a valuable shipment of metals and laying waste to the invading force, she and Cyno, her partner (in war and love), have been entrusted with a dangerous mission: to assassinate the King of Anglia and the five nobles in line for the throne, leaving the path to ascension clear for their own leader.

That’s one side of the story. The other is that she and Cyno have been assigned this suicide mission as Parliament’s first pass at removing the iliri taint from the military. Either way, without the strength of allies, the Conglomerate of Free Citizens cannot turn back the invaders, whose goal is to wipe out the whole iliri species, so Sal and Cyno are the only hope of ending the continental war devastating their species. Traveling for months, they are so far away from their home base that they’re beyond the mental link that connects the pack. They remain committed to their mission—and to each other, but… unhappily disturbed. They can only hope their separation from the pack bring them closer together. But the danger is, in the absence of the pack, their bond will wither.

A kind deed, helping what they take to be a wounded animal, leads to the discovery of their true nature, to strengthening and re-energizing their pack, and to a surprising alliance that offers hope for the future. The wounded animal, they learn, is a graour wolf, a species of ferocious warriors with language and traits nearly identical to iliri. When two of them ask to join her pack, Sal recruits them as Black Blades and the iliri are no longer the only dog in the fight for iliri freedom.

But Anglia is nothing like the Conglomerate of Free Citizens. Anglians discriminate based on gender, not species. Iliri are thought to be just a myth--until Sal shows her face. To convince the king and his council that yes, a woman really can be a soldier, she's going to have to make her own rules. The enemy is moving. She doesn't have time to deal with outdated court manners.

As the defiance of an entire species rises up in her, she really has no choice—she’ll just have to change the world.

Women readers will thrill to the reverse harem idea that pushes the boundaries of epic fantasy in this second world series that may remind some of Avatar without the scary beasts; or even Game Of Thrones, but happier, with more color—and a dazzling female protagonist. Fans of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern will find Sal’s planet Ogun a thrilling destination for their next fantasy fix.

Like all the books on this series, Defiance is a complete novel, not a cliffhanger. And because the illiri have insatiable and exotic sexual instincts, the smoking hot sex may make it unsuitable for humans under 18.

Creation (Technopia Book 1)

by Greg Chase

Sam Adamson would do anything to leave the climate-ravaged wastelands of Earth… even if it means working for pirates. So when he’s offered a job repairing a derelict spaceship’s computer, he jumps at the chance to head to the Kuiper Belt, an area at the edge of the solar system reviled for its lawlessness and tenuous ability to sustain life.

But the repair proves difficult, and the pirates who hired Sam leave him to die in the computer’s core. Fortunately, the inhabitants of a utopian village rescue him and show him that human relationships can be more open and connected once Earth habits have been broken. He’s content to live the rest of his days away from Earth until he learns his work on the spaceship inadvertently created a new, all-knowing—but misguided—technology-based species. And their mistakes threaten to tear the very fabric of human interaction.

Forced to leave his Garden of Eden on the terraformed planet, he takes his wife, Jess—his link to all he holds dear—and goes back to Earth to face his responsibilities. Before Sam and Jess can ever hope to return to their village, they have to teach the next generation of the new species how to change the direction of mankind for the better.
