A new JMG novel -- and three old ones

I'm delighted to report that a new novel of mine, The Hall of Homeless Gods, is now available for advance order -- and so are three of my four remaining backlist titles.

*****

Meet Jerry Shimizu. He's a tough, two-fisted fixer who works for the boss of Habitat Four, one of five Japanese refugee communities built on abandoned oil platforms off the coast of the United States in a hard-edged dystopian future of technological decline and climate chaos. His beat is Shoreside, the bustling, brawling, anything-goes temporary port on the beach two miles from the Habitats.

He's trying to bust a robbery ring that's preying on Shoreside gambling money when he encounters a mysterious woman with strange mental abilities. Before long he's having to dodge hoods sent after him by Shoreside's crime lord, not to mention agents of the US government and spies from its archrival, the European Union. Does all this have anything to do with rumors of a secret supercomputer project in the now-abandoned country inland from Shoreside -- a project that once left a string of corpses behind it, and now might yield a fabulous trove of old world technology? Jerry's going to find out...if he can survive long enough.

Interested? It'll be out in September.  You can preorder a copy of The Hall of Homeless Gods here.

Meanwhile, three older novels of mine are also heading into the presses, and also available for preorder. First up is my first published novel, The Fires of Shalsha, a quirky science fiction story -- one of its early reviewers described it as reading a little like The Seven Samurai rewritten by Ursula K. Le Guin -- set on a colony planet orbiting Epsilon Eridani. It features mysticism, gunfire, strange visions, and even stranger psychoactive compounds, all under the shadow of a centuries-dead tyranny that is stirring in its grave and a threat of nuclear holocaust. You can preorder a copy here. 

Its sequel, Journey Star, takes up the story twenty years later as one of the last survivors of the cannibal Outrunners, a thirteen-year-old girl named Asha, is caught up in an unexpected quest for one of the last remaining secrets of the planetary government that preceded the horrors of Shalsha -- a quest that will ultimately take her to Journey Star, the colony ship still orbiting high above Eridan's surface, and to a discovery that will change life on Eridan forever. You can preorder a copy of this one here.

Last (for now), but certainly not least, is the novel I wrote one monthly blog post at a time a decade and a half ago, the story of Trey sunna Gwen, ruinman of Meriga (we pronounce that "America" nowadays), and his search for the place out of legend where humanity might once have talked with alien intelligences -- a place called Star's Reach. It's my longest novel to date and my most extended exploration of what North America might look like four centuries or so after the end of our industrial age; you can preorder a copy here.

(Yes, in case you were wondering, my remaining novel Retrotopia is also on its way back into print, and I should have a release date and preordering information shortly. I'll keep you posted.)
