Hey guys. Anyone here read the Earthrise box set?

If not... now's a good time. The ebook is... wait for it... 90% off. You can grab it today for under a buck! That's six books = 2,000+ pages = $0.99.

Why did I discount it to $0.99? Because I really want you to get into this series. I love the characters in this one. Marco, Addy, Lailani, Ben-Ari... they're some of the best characters I've created, I think. And I want to make it super easy for you to meet them.

If you HAVE read the series, leave a comment. Who was your favorite character?

Earthrise is about Earth facing a devastating alien invasion. And it's about a group of friends trying to survive. I'll post a link in the comments. πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

About the series:

War rages among the stars. Can Jon Taylor survive?

Jon Taylor is an Earthling. He doesn't care much about space. At least until his brother dies on Bahay, a war-torn planet many light-years away.

After the funeral, Jon joins the army. He learns to kill. And he flies to Bahay, sworn to avenge his brother.

Centuries ago, Filipino colonists arrived on Bahay to build a utopia. But this world has become a nightmare. Jon finds himself in a dizzying dreamscape, a world of dark jungles and neon slums, of ruthless guerrillas and intoxicating bargirls, of blood-soaked battlefields and glittering brothels.

Here on Bahay, a man can lose his life in the jungle, lose his sanity in the gleaming drug dens, or lose his heart to a local girl with a sweet smile and knife behind her back.
On Bahay, nothing is as it seems. In this place of strange dreams and secrets, Jon hunts the man who killed his brother. But he learns that revenge always comes with a price...

We stood together once. United. Proud. Humanity was one. Together we colonized the stars. Together we built an empire. That was a long time ago...

I'm writing a new Earthrise book!

As you know, I recently began a new series titled A Prayer for Earthrise. It's set in the larger Earthrise universe, which includes dozens of novels spread across multiple series. I think A Prayer for Earthrise is the best Earthrise series yet. (If you haven't read the earlier Earthrise books, don't worry. You can leap in here without prior knowledge.)

You might have already grabbed the first novel in the series, titled: Hear, O Earth! If you read the book, I hope you enjoyed it. I love writing about Marco, Addy, Einav, and the other Earthrise characters, and it's a huge privilege to share these stories with you.

While you've been reading Hear, O Earth!, I've been writing the sequel, titled Earth of Gold and Light. And you can already preorder your copy.

I'd like to show off the beautiful cover. The artwork was created by Tom Edwards, the same artist who painted all the Earthrise covers. In my (not so humble) opinion, this is one of Tom's best covers yet. Take a look. What do you think?

They came from beyond. From beyond the galaxy. From beyond human understanding. They came with one mission. To kill us all.

From the shadows of despair, heroes will rise. Heroes will sound the cry of our world, the prayer of our people. "Hear, O Earth! We will live!"

In 2016, I wrote Earthrise: The Original Series. It went on to sell 600,000 copies, making it my bestselling work. A Prayer for Earthrise returns to the bestselling Earthrise universe with a brand new storyβ€”one for new fans and old readers alike.
