Anyone fancy a queer space opera?
Because I happen to have one available:
In a Galaxy ruled under the righteous, iron grip of The Kingdom, Bryant Jones is a rare breed of rebel. Born on a planet of technological wonders, his world fell to The Kingdom, and their dictates, in a travesty of justice and might. His place was usurped and his mission of medical advancements was seen as perverted. Captured, tried and convicted of heinous crimes, Jones is on his way to a Penial Colony on the far reaches of the system… a colony he never intends to reach.
Once the Heroine of the Phoenix Nebula, Captain Aurora Campos has been brought low by scandal and judgement. Her trajectory towards the highest Military position in The Kingdom has been redirected to prison transport commander, an assignment meant to humble, shame and possibly silence her. Yet none can quiet the Lioness and she is determined to see this mission through, while protecting her crew and her charges both.
Neither knows what the future holds, or how soon their destiny’s will collide, slamming truth and faith together in an epic battle that may shatter the very core of The Kingdom itself.
In the military sci-fi meets alien archaeology tradition of Stargate, this three volume epic follows a cast of bi, ace and lesbian heroes as they attempt to build a utopia on an abandoned planet. Unfortunately, the repressive religious society from which some of them come will not allow that, and the empty alien city in which they take refuge turns out to be hiding a secret that may doom mankind.
“I thoroughly enjoyed this SciFi adventure romance from Alex Beecroft. Set in a cohesive, detailed world that gradually spreads to an entire universe as you read the book, I loved the way the characters of the protagonists likewise develop and grow with each new chapter. There is a lot to say about this complex, imaginative book, but I think the fact that I will still be revolving the story and the ideas and thinking about them while I wait for the next one in the series says more than any words.” – Jan Jones, Award Winning author of The Kydd Inheritance
“Beecroft has penned an adventure-filled utopian science fiction romance, an opposites-attract love story that also interrogates issues of gender and bodies, all with intelligence and a healthy dollop of humor.” – Romance Novels for Feminists
(Lioness is a m/f love story with a bi hero and some ‘interrogation of issues of gender.’ Heart and Pride include a wlw love story and a mlm homoromantic ace one - along with lots of saving the world.)
You can try it for very little risk by buying Lioness of Cygnus Five for $0.99 here, (after which the other two volumes are 3.99 each) or you can go the whole hog and get all three books for $5.99 in the complete box set (sadly without box) here.
