News: SF Book Released (Update: Feb, 2015)

STARFIRE

A new Space Exploration Novel

(Free for Kindle Unlimited people)

Available at Amazon, Kobo, BN and preorder on: Audible

Two ships launch, but only one can come home with the prize—and no one suspects what they’ll find when they get out there.

On June 30, 1908 an object fell from the sky releasing more energy than a thousand Hiroshima bombs. A Siberian forest was flattened, but the strike left no significant crater. The anomaly came to be known as the Tunguska Event, and scientists have never agreed whether it was the largest meteor strike in recorded history—or something else.

Alien Artifacts have been uncovered since the 1908 event, and a new star drive is discovered. When a larger Artifact is detected orbiting Jupiter, both NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency are determined to beat all rivals to the next treasure trove of alien tech.

STARFIRE is a 400+ page action-packed Space Exploration novel.

NEWS:  About Kindle Unlimited (January, 2015)

My Grandmother had a pair of creepy drama masks like these on the guest bedroom wall. They always freaked me out as a child...

I have good news for some, bad news for others. Amazon is requiring exclusivity for my works to continue in the Kindle Unlimited program (allowing subscribers to read books for free). If you are an Amazon KU reader, this is good news, and the happy face is for you. Most of my books will be available on KU over time. The bad news is I can't put them into KU without taking them away from my readers on Barnes and Noble, and other sites. 

For now, the Undying Mercenaries Series, including Machine World, are all available on every site and are therefore NOT KU. The rest of my books are Amazon only, in KU. My apologies if you are one of those who is crying like the mask above due to this announcement, but due to contractual agreements I'm no longer able to offer you the best of both worlds.

Available at Amazon, BN, Kobo and Audible !

Lost and cut off from Earth, the crew of the starship Valiant seeks a way home.

In the eleventh book of the Star Force series Cody Riggs collides with the overwhelming power of the Ancients. They fly incomprehensible ships and consider humans to be curiosities.

Caught between ghosts of the past and demons of the present, Cody is abandoned by everyone. His girl, his crew, and even his ships change sides, exiling him in the cold depths of space.

Demonstrating the strength of any Riggs family member, Cody manages to climb back into the game, upsetting the plans of his enemies and his allies alike. The only question is whether or not he’ll live long enough to regret it.

To read the first book in this series look for SWARM by B. V. Larson.

News: MACHINE WORLD Released (January, 2015)

Available at Amazon, Kobo, BN and Audible (Audible always takes about two months).

The Galactics arrived with their Battle Fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined a vast Empire that spanned the Milky Way. Our only worthwhile trade goods are our infamous mercenary legions, elite troops we sell to the highest alien bidder.

In the fourth book of the series, James McGill is up for promotion. Not everyone is happy about that, and McGill must prove he’s worth his stripes. Deployed to a strange alien planet outside the boundaries of the Galactic Empire, he’s caught up in warfare and political intrigue. Earth expands, the Cephalopod Kingdom launches ships to stop us, and a grand conspiracy emerges among the upper ranks of the Hegemony military.

In MACHINE WORLD, McGill faces an entirely new kind of alien life, Galactic prosecution, and thousands of relentless squid troopers. He lives and dies in the falling ashes of the Empire, a man of unique honor at the dawn of humanity’s resurgence.

MACHINE WORLD is a military science fiction novel by bestselling author B. V. Larson. (To find the first book in the series, search for STEEL WORLD, by B. V. Larson.)

News: ARMY OF ONE Released (Christmas, 2014)

 Available NOW at Amazon and Audible.

Star Force is called to arms again! 

Sentient machines are invading from the skies! There’s only one man on Earth who’s nanotized but not yet a member of Star Force. Will he do his part to save the world? Or will he join the forces of darkness and doom humanity to oblivion?

As requested by many STAR FORCE readers, this story has been released as a single title at last. ARMY OF ONE is a standalone NOVELLA, which means it’s SHORTER and CHEAPER than your typical Star Force book.

Previously published in the anthology Planetary Assault, ARMY OF ONE is the tale of one dangerous man on a do-or-die mission. This is the private story of one of the series’ most influential characters, a must-read for any fan of the books, and an easy introduction for anyone who is a new recruit to STAR FORCE.

If you are new to the Star Force Series, this novella is a good cheap way to start.

News: TECH WORLD Released (August, 2014)

TECH WORLD is available at: Amazon, Audiobook CD, Audible, Kobo and BN

The Galactics arrived with their Battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined a vast Empire that spanned the Milky Way. Our only worthwhile trade goods are our infamous mercenary legions, elite troops we sell to the highest alien bidder. 

In the third book in the series, James McGill is deployed on another alien world. His third interstellar tour is different in every way. Rather than meeting up with a primitive society, this time he’s headed to an advanced world. Tau Ceti, better known as Tech World, is the central trading capital of Frontier 921. 

McGill figures he’s lucked out. The assignment looks dull but luxurious. Tau Ceti boasts a planet-wide city with a trillion inhabitants, all of whom are only interested in making a few credits. But all is not well on Tech World. The Empire is crumbling, an invasion is coming, and McGill’s easy ride through life and death has come to an end.

NOTE: This series starts off with STEEL WORLD.

Update: STEEL WORLD on Audible (December, 2013)

Available at Audible, Amazon, Kobo and BN

In the twentieth century Earth sent probes, transmissions and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed.

The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire.

Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn’t the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade. Something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service we could provide came in the form of soldiers. Someone had to do their dirty work for them, their fighting and dying.

I, James McGill, was born in 2099 on the fringe of the galaxy. When I ran out of college loans and options I turned to the stars. My first campaign involved the invasion of a mineral-rich planet called Cancri-9, better known as Steel World. The attack didn’t go well, and now Earth is in a grim struggle for survival.
