Thrive Earth Rematch, Thrive Colony Corps Space Adventures Book 2.

Are the boat nations Earth’s last hope?

Stranded without her starship, Captain Sass Collier takes refuge in Earth’s criminal underworld. Her sole sponsor, Northern League agent Melkor, shelters them with family among the vibrant floating cities and cruise ship hulks of drowned Florida.

But lively hurricanes at sea postpone pursuit only briefly.

Because League ruler Voronin desires Sass’s pint-sized but powerful digital sentient, her robotic pet mink. The Russian controls his own weapon AI, a relic of dire wars.

And he offers rich bounties to tempt Melkor’s gangster relatives.

Yet Melkor believes in Sass. His dying world can be revived using Colony Corps tech. He connects her with renegade gene splicers striving to restore habitat.

Meanwhile her ride off-planet is stymied by sabotage on Mars.

Can Sass get the goods and escape Earth to the Corps? Or trapped between AIs and League factions, might one of her own companions betray her?

Sentient Thrive, book 9 of the Thrive Space Colony Adventures.

Can Ben tame the monster AI?

Evacuating the planet Denali brings Ben Acosta to his knees. Thrive Spaceways is bankrupt. His marriage is on the rocks. And his homeworld Mahina is in chaos from the deluge of offworld refugees. Pushy arrogant refugees.

He’s disgraced. Fair enough — he blames himself.

But another 40,000 will die on Denali if he can’t turn this around.

Ben hatches a plan. The AI Loki is like a genie who grants wishes. A hostile, insane, ugly genie, with a track record for enslaving humans and building starships with asteroid-slicing guns.

If he can harness Loki, Spaceways can still save Denali.

Instead he’s trapped inside an airless rock with Remi. Can they survive?
