NEW RELEASES
Far Futures Book Four
Titan. The largest moon of the planet Saturn and second in size only to Jupiter’s Ganymede. Bigger than the planet Mercury, with an atmosphere, ice, and stable bodies of liquid, some have said it may be more viable for colonization than Mars. But is it? What would be the socio-economic impacts of such a colony? What about the political dynamics? The military implications? The scientific potentials?
Will it be the romanticized experience popularized in film and fandom, with state-of-the-art equipment; clean, orderly habitats; and meaningful experimentation? Self-sufficient systems? Supportive efforts and mutual cooperation for the common good?
In Far Futures Book Four, science fiction authors from around the world suggest how unlikely that is. They write of the distant future. Tales of grit and ammonia, methane rain, hard-boiled private eyes, murder, deception, social breakdown, and disastrous first contacts. Stories that stretch the imagination and test the limits of human endurance.
Tales of Titan by Zachary Taylor Branch, G.C. Byrne, Stephen W. Chappell, Isabel McKeough, James Palmer, Diana Parrilla, James Pyles, and Katrina Schroeder, with a poem by Mark Hendrickson. Edited by Robert J. Mendenhall.

A 5-star review for Big Guns: The Langston Collection
“Mendenhall, a retired police officer and military vet, brings an undeniable veracity and credibility to these stories, which have an undercurrent of continuity with recurring characters. If you like compelling stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this one’s for you. It’s a winner.” ~Michael A. Black, author of Devil’s Lair, Where Legends Lie, and Concho: Border Blood (writing as A.W. Hart).
Langston. A sprawling, midwestern metropolis teeming with corporate greed and political corruption, cold-blooded criminals and callous cops. But there are those who consider their vow to serve and protect a solemn oath.

Homicide Detective Brad Elliott. Once Pike’s partner with LPD, Elliott finds himself teaming with him in more than one case that tests friendships and loyalties.
And Detective Sergeant Beth Dolan. A supervisor with LPD’s Warrant Service Unit and Elliott’s former wife. Dolan is good at her job, but self-doubt at a critical moment puts her team, and herself, at grave risk.
