99 CENT INDIE NEW RELEASE: Worse Than Senseless Things by J. Battle

We are happy to announce as an INDIE NEW RELEASE and BARGAIN BOOK: Worse Than Senseless Things: A Science Fiction Thriller by J. Battle (Click for UK , Australia, Canada or India purchase).  Why not grab a copy today?




BOOK DESCRIPTION
They are coming soon, to a planet near you (well, it is 12 light years from Earth, and that’s quite near, in Galactic terms, and it will be sometime in 2188, which is quite soon, in Galactic terms).

You should start preparing for their arrival, and you should do it now. It you wait until you can see the whites of their eyes, you’ll be too late.

When Dan Robinson stole the space ship and travelled to Tau Ceti E to pass it on to Andreas for a good reward, everything seemed to be going smoothly.

Then the Hru-argh attack began, and suddenly smooth was hardly the right word.

Dan ends up on the surface of the hot heavy planet, many kilometers from any human settlements without enough food, water or oxygen to reach safety. And he has to put up with Helen, even though he’s sure that she is only using him, and there's something about a knife, and diamonds, that he really doesn't want to know about.

Together, they find evidence of alien life, and set off in search of what maybe their only hope for survival, and man’s first contact with alien intelligences, unless you count a devastating attack from space by the Hru-argh as first contact.

Meanwhile, many light years from Tau Ceti E, an enormous, dragon-like creature named Heldon is doing to her best to save the Galaxy from attack from Outside, and she really doesn't want another extended war involving the belligerent and malodorous Hru-argh, so she sends Jashna to deal with their attack on Tau Ceti E. With his usual light touch, Jashna destroys the whole attack force of the Hru-argh. Unfortunately, he is not in time to save the Human settlements.

Anyone who knows the Hru-argh would hardly be surprised that their reaction to the destruction of their ships is to bring together the largest force of fighting ships in the history of the Galaxy, determined to destroy the defenseless Tau Ceti E and seek out and conquer the home system of the Humans.

Jashna has been sent off to deal with the threat from outside the Galaxy, so it is left to a diminutive blue hominid going by the name of Stave to prevent a long term, extended and bloody war.

In a Science Fiction thriller, told with a hint of humor, we find out what happens to Jashna in his intergalactic quest, how Stave achieves his ends, and how Dan finds something not only to live for, but to die for.

One thing to remember; if you ever meet a Hru-argh, you’re going to need a bucket, and a shovel, and a top of the range nuisance odor mask. You’ll probably need a very big gun as well.


If you like your Sci-Fi epic to be packed with thrills and humor; with more aliens than you can shake a stick at, then this is the one for you.
