Seeking ARC readers for my upcoming near-future hard sci-fi novel, The Shadow of Arcadia, book two in the Augment Saga, due for release around the middle of 2024.
What is an ARC?
Advanced Reader Copies are books which are either ready for publication or undergoing final checks. By signing up to receive an ARC, you'll get a free digital copy of the book for you to read ahead of its release date in exchange for leaving an honest review once the book goes live. It helps to drive initial interest for the book and helps me with marketing it.
How do I get my ARC?
You'll be contacted by email when I have an ARC ready for The Shadow of Arcadia and you'll receive a Story Origin link to download your copy. You will need to verify your email address in order to download - so it'll need to be the same email address you give me here, because it will be part of my ARC mailing list. The manuscript is currently being copy edited so the dates are a little up in the air right now, but I’m anticipating sending them out by June.

SIDERA SILERE:
LET THE STARS
REMAIN SILENT.
Nestled in the shadow of a derelict alien warship, the Martian city of Arcadia Landing shines as a beacon of humanity’s golden future. There, United Nations representatives gather to sign a new international treaty; a stepping-stone towards global unity. But when a dangerous faction born of an unlikely blend of isolationists and alien-worshippers attacks the city, the hope of unity lies scattered among the ruins.
Heartbroken, Captain James Fowler must work together with Nate Rifkin, the rueful captain of the Magellan, to bring those responsible to justice. But a deadly encounter with the cabal’s enigmatic masked leader draws James into a deeper mystery stretching back nearly fifty years.
With the help of Capt. Erin Pritchard, and anachronistic force of nature, Capt. April Rose-Hartley, they investigate the links to James and Angela’s past to uncover the identity of this murderous figurehead, track him down, and put a stop to his grand plans for humanity.
