There haven't been many new SF&F titles that I've been interested in for the past several weeks so I'm starting to go through withdrawals.
I came across this
pre-order from Orbit from a new (to me, at least) author and now that
Amazon and
Kobo have dropped the pre-order price from $8.99 to $2.99, I went for it. For that price, I'm willing to take a chance.
It appears that it's also discounted to CA$2.99 and £2.99 so I'm guessing that it's a publisher discount and will likely be price-matched elsewhere eventually.
The Lazarus War: Artefact by Jamie Sawyer (The Lazarus War #1)
Orbit (March 24, 2015) $2.99, CA$2.99 and £2.99
Quote:
Artefact is book one of The Lazarus War - an explosive new space adventure series from one of the brightest new stars in science fiction.
Mankind has spread to the stars, only to become locked in warfare with an insidious alien race. All that stands against the alien menace are the soldiers of the Simulant Operation Program, an elite military team remotely operating avatars in the most dangerous theatres of war.
Captain Conrad Harris has died hundreds of times - running suicide missions in simulant bodies. Known as Lazarus, he is a man addicted to death. So when a secret research station deep in alien territory suddenly goes dark, there is no other man who could possibly lead a rescue mission.
But Harris hasn't been trained for what he's about to find. And this time, he may not be coming back . . .
For fans of The Edge of Tomorrow, Alien and James S. A. Corey's Expanse series comes this brand new action novel set in space that will thrill science fiction fans worldwide.
Jack Campbell, author of the Lost Fleet novels calls it: "a gripping read that moves at warp speed."
