July releases.

Out June 30 in paperback is the release of the second installment in the MarsX series. The series began (MarsX1) with the unplanned but urgent colonization of Mars with the three leading protagonists playing critical roles. In MarsX2, the three friends decide they've had enough of the politics of Earth and powerful AIs and decide to build a space habitat to explore the Solar System. As Laura explains to her friend Harold:

“So, we have a new goal, just like Mars was our goal when we were thirteen. But this one is never ending, because once this galaxy is teeming with life, there are 200 billion others to explore. I can't imagine what those in that far time will discover, for us though, the Solar System is enough.”

MarsX1 available in print and ebook.

MarsX2 available in print, available pre-order ebook August 30.

MarsX3 available pre-order ebook, coming in print August 10.

In July the re-release of my first series (called Wormhole Series then but now called Mach Series) begins on July 10 in print and July 20 in ebook. The trilogy's protagonist, Elias Mach, must solve the dangerous side-effects of his invention of the wormhole drive before it leads to the disruption of spacetime and the end of humanity. In the second book Mach must contend with an existential threat to Earth, as must his granddaughter in the third book.

The re-release includes new edits and corrections but keeps the adventure. This series is the favorite of many readers.

Releasing July 30 in print is the first novella, Brane World (called World Brane on Amazon), in the Brane series.

The Brane series is a series of novellas which uses the scientific theory of branes to create a story of an expansive extra-dimension (the bulk) in which other world branes (spacetime universes) “float.” Much of the science is based on the book Warped Passages by physicist Lisa Randall. It also includes science from my Future Chron and Forgotten Earth universes.

At first humanity learns to visit and live in these new world branes while still in touch with the original spacetime. But when ships start to disappear in the bulk, it's discovered that spheres of frozen time are the cause. To keep the space lanes open, Professor Mark Dreyer of Pacific Tech, must find a solution.

World Brane available in print July 30 on Amazon (unfortunately, Amazon does not put up the page until the day of release, so the link will take you to my Amazon page where you should find it starting July 30).

Brane World available in print July 30 on Apple, Nook, Kobo, and others.

A special free electronic copy of Brane World is available only for newsletter subscribers. Make sure to sign-up for the next free give-away. (And if you want this one email me at d.w.patterson.writer@gmail.com).

Thank you for reading.
