ATDrake · 12-15-2014, 04:10 AM

Burnt Ice by New Zealand-born author Steve Wheeler (ISFDB) is the 1st in his Fury of Aces series of sci-fi space operas involving conflict between humans and alien species, with political complications, this installment involving the exploration of a new planet by military engineers, which just happens to be inhabited by aggressive intelligent squid, as these things so often are, free courtesy of publisher HarperCollins Australia's Voyager imprint.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians and in the UK & AU, of course), Kobo & Google Play (both available to Canadians).

Description
Move over Star Wars! This is a superb space opera. Humans and hybrids and strange new creatures fight for survival on Earth and across the galaxies. A superb space adventure from a fresh new voice.

In our future worlds the Administration rules the Sphere of Humankind, the Games Board sanctions and funds wars and conflicts, and the Haulers' Collective roams the space routes like the caravanners of old. Marko and his crew of fellow soldier-engineers are sent to investigate an unknown planet.

When they encounter strange artefacts and an intelligent but aggressive squid species, they are forced to embark on a perilous journey far from the Sphere. They will have to survive not only other alien encounters but also their own Administration's deadly manipulations. Political factions and galactic media moguls vie for power ... and money.
