Cover & Title Reveal Sign Up: Resident Evil Meets The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer (June 7th) Genre: Dystopian Sci-Fi/ Thriller – Megan Boley @RRBookTours1 #RRBookTours

May 23, 2023May 23, 2023Reads & Reels Leave a comment

This is my kind of book!

I’m organizing a cover and title reveal for author Megan Boley. The reveal will be on June 7th, and I need hosts. Get a look at these tropes!

This book is a sci-fi thriller / adventure with plot twists and foreshadowing galore.

The tropes:

Post-disaster / post-apocalyptic, dystopian, near-future world
Found family
Saving the best friend, saving the world
Heist(s)
Morally gray characters
Revenge
Redemption
Brother-sister relationships
Platonic friendships

Facing your demons is hard. It’s even harder when one of them will not stop talking.

It’s 2085 in a barren world. Feral creatures and warring factions abound. Pharmatrox controls the country and disastrous consequences wreak havoc on the remaining population.

In Stella’s case, she gets the pleasure of being annoyed by a snarky hallucination of her dead brother. But his irksome specter is the least of her worries.

She’s being hunted.

Penny, the sly leader of a dangerous gang from her past, pursues Stella with ruthless conviction. And she’s closing in.

In the chaos of the collapsing country, Stella’s best friend is captured by Pharmatrox. She must rescue him before he’s subjected to lethal experiments—or worse.

As Stella races ahead of Penny and searches for her friend, she makes an unthinkable discovery that shatters her sense of self and rocks the foundation of her world.

To topple Pharmatrox’s empire and save her friend, Stella must decide if she’s willing to team up with old and new enemies alike, and embrace all parts of herself—even if it means losing her newfound friends and dragging her darkest demons into the light.

And time is running out. Pharmatrox’s plans are nearly complete…

Resident Evil Meets The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer

Megan Boley is a science fiction and urban fantasy author. She loves writing stories with badass women, grumpy men, and a healthy dose of plot twists. If she’s not plotting the triumph (or demise) of her next set of characters, you’ll find her at jiu jitsu or reading on the beach.

Book Tour: ReInception by Sarena Straus – Genre: NA Sci-Fi “For Fans of Divergent or The Uglies” @SarenaStraus @RRBookTours1 #RRBookTours

If you enjoyed the Divergent series or The Uglies, you are going to want to read ReInception by Sarena Straus! Read on for more info and visit one of our Instagram hosts for a chance to win a fantastic giveaway!

ReInception

Publication Date: October 2022

Genre: NA Sci-Fi/ Dystopian

REINCEPTION WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND…whether you want it or not

A hundred years in the future, ReInception is used to modify the brain and eliminate unwanted behaviors–everything from overeating to the worst criminal impulses. Unmodified 20-year-old Leandrea Justus feels ordinary compared to her perfect friends who like living in a ReInception world.

Not everyone is in favor of modification–some remain quiet, while others are outwardly insubordinate. After a protest turns violent, a rogue member of the serving class known as The Prole saves Leandrea and exposes a new reality to her: The true purpose of ReInception may be far more nefarious than advertised. Now, her free will may be her greatest asset. But Leandrea’s discoveries about ReInception are putting her life at stake. Can she save society or will the secrets she uncovers start a Civil War?

ReInception is a fiction-debut, the first in a new, action-filled sci-fi trilogy with surprising twists, and a story that may be closer to reality than we think.

About the Author

I write novels for the curious and adventurous, for people who are intrigued by a “what happens if,” scenario, and who like to explore the outcomes. My characters are ordinary people who find out that they are capable of extraordinary things and discover that one person can truly make a difference.

After receiving a BA in art history and political science from Barnard, I graduated from Fordham University School of Law. I then worked for five years at the Bronx District Attorney’s Office (BXDA), where I prosecuted sex crimes and child abuse cases. After leaving BXDA, I published a true-crime memoir, Bronx DA: True Stories from the Sex Crimes and Domestic Violence unit (Barricade, 2006). In 2010, my book sold as a TV Pilot to CBS/Paramount.

I’ve gone on to publish numerous legal articles and works of poetry, and I was an editor for a legal magazine. For a few years, I was also a talking head, commenting on current criminal cases in the media on tv and radio.

Today, I live in the Hudson Valley, NY with my husband, our two children (also budding writers), two naughty Labrador retriever ladies, and two barn cat boys. I’m now working on sequels to my debut novel ReInception and will keep you posted about them on my site.

When not writing or lawyering, I love to scuba dive, take photographs, and travel off the beaten path. I’ll swap diving or courtroom stories with you all day long or happily talk to you about books–writing them or reading them!

Book Tour: The Babel Apocalypse by Vyvyan Evans (May 8 – 12) Genre: Sci-Fi/ Cyberpunk/ Dystopian @VyvEvans @RRBookTours1 #RRBookTours

May 8, 2023Reads & Reels 1 Comment

Welcome to the book tour for The Babel Apocalypse by Vyvyan Evans. Read on for more details!

The Babel Apocalypse (Songs of the Sage #1)

Expected Publication Date: May 2nd, 2023

Genre: Sci-Fi/ Cyberpunk/ Dystopian

Publisher: Nephilim Publishing

“They who control language control everything.” A dystopian, cyberpunk, sci-fi odyssey that will make you think about language in a whole new way.

Language is no longer learned, but streamed to neural implants regulated by lang-laws. Those who can’t afford language streaming services are feral, living on the fringes of society. Big tech corporations control language, the world’s most valuable commodity.

But when a massive cyberattack causes a global language outage, catastrophe looms.

Europol detective Emyr Morgan is assigned to the case. His prime suspect is Professor Ebba Black, the last native speaker of language in the automated world, and leader of the Babel cyberterrorist organization. But Emyr soon learns that in a world of corporate power, where those who control language control everything, all is not as it seems.

As he and Ebba collide, Emyr faces an existential dilemma between loyalty and betrayal, when everything he once believed in is called into question. To prevent the imminent collapse of civilization and a global war between the great federations, he must figure out friend from foe—his life depends on it. And with the odds stacked against him, he must find a way to stop the Babel Apocalypse.

“A perfect fusion of SF, thriller, and mystery—smart speculative fiction at its very best.” – Kirkus

Red Adept Publishing

Axel Rivers can’t get his head above water. Throughout his life, he’s worn many hats — orphan, musician, veteran, husband, father—but a year ago, a horrific event he now calls The Bad Day tore down everything he’d built. Grief-stricken, unemployed, and drowning in debt, Axel needs cash, however he can find it.

Enter Kindred Eternal Solutions. Founded by the world’s six wealthiest trillionaires and billionaires, Kindred promises to create eternal life through mastering the science of human resurrection. With the technology still being developed, Kindred seeks paid volunteers to undergo tests that will kill and resurrect their body—again and again—in exchange for a check.

Axel signs up willingly, but when he undergoes the procedure—and comes back, over and over—what will he find on the other side of death?
