Return of the Whirlwind

The recently-ended promotion of Hardwired turned out to be the best ever, so I’d like to thank those of you who clicked the buy button.

On the theory that one should reinforce success, I’m hoping to repeat or even top Hardwired’s sales with a 99-cent sale on Voice of the Whirlwind.

You may find VotW at Amazon, Google, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, and Kobo.

Voice of the Whirlwind takes place in the same universe as Hardwired, about eighty years later.

Here’s the pitch:

Steward is a Beta— a clone. In his memories, he’s an elite commando for an orbital policorp— but because his Alpha never did a brain-scan update, Steward’s memories are fifteen years out of date . . . and in those fifteen years, everything has changed.

An interstellar war destroyed the company that held his allegiance. His wife has divorced him, along with the second wife that he can’t even remember. Most of his comrades died in a useless battle on a world called Sheol, and those who survived are irrevocably scarred. An alien race has arrived and become the center of a complex and deadly intrigue.

And someone has murdered him.
