Tabitha Prime by saddletramp1956

The year is 2109. Tabitha, a devious, vengeful clone of Bill Jones’ long-dead ex-wife, has developed a powerful weapon that can destroy stars, along with their planetary systems. With it, she secured her position as a Prime Director in the Mr’rk Interstellar Corporation.

But her obsession goes far beyond absolute power or fabulous wealth. She wants revenge for the death of Bull Travers, the man the original Tabitha cuckolded Bill with years ago on the USS Armstrong. In addition to killing Bill Jones, she seeks to destroy the entire Solar System to plunder Earth.

Fast forward five years. Bill Jones is promoted and given tactical command of the task force sent to stop Tabitha and her evil plan. But he has other issues, like a drug-addicted, mentally unstable Admiral who also has an axe to grind with Bill, a starship upgraded with barely tested alien technology, and the off-chance of starting Earth’s first interstellar war.

Can Bill and the Enterprise stop Tabitha in time?

Star Trek was never this spicy…

Readers agree this is a must-read!

“Another voyage into the wonderful imagination of SaddleTramp, gather round the fire and read another wonderful journey!”

“With a powerful mix of interstellar politics, betrayal, and impending war, the stakes are sky-high.”

“It’s an action-packed and suspenseful novel that delves into the dark corners of human nature, ambition, and interstellar politics.”

About Discerning God’s Best series Book Bundle – Collection One with Bonus Content: Christmas Short Story: Christian Historical Fiction and Romance Box Set

Four Heartfelt Stories. One Unforgettable Journey.
Set against the rugged backdrop of 1800s America, these faith-filled tales follow resilient women learning to trust God’s plan through seasons of waiting, heartache, and unexpected grace.

In Discerning God’s Best: Collection One, you’ll journey through two full-length novels, a cozy Christmas novella, and an exclusive short story available only in this bundle. These aren’t just love stories. They’re stories of redemption, second chances, and the kind of strength that grows in the quiet places—through whispered prayers, sacrificial choices, and the slow work of healing.

It begins with a runaway orphan who agrees to a marriage of convenience, never expecting to find not just safety, but love rooted in obedience. Then comes a woman caught between two cultures, learning to listen to the God who sees her and loves her completely, even as the world around her questions her place. You’ll meet a quiet couple finding belonging where they least expected it—in a snow-covered frontier town where home isn’t where you’re from, but who welcomes you in. And finally, a soul worn thin by shame learns that it’s never too late to be chosen, never too late to belong, never too late for grace.

Within these pages, you’ll encounter slow-burn romance, protector heroes, strong but wounded heroines, and the beauty of found family. You’ll walk through faith in adversity and experience the deep comfort of being seen—truly seen—by a God who never wastes a moment of your story.

These stories aren’t meant to simply entertain. They’re gentle reminders that even when life feels uncertain, God is still writing something good.

I’m No Superman! Antiheroes in Popular Culture: Exploring TV Characters (Volume 1) by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

About I’m No Superman! Antiheroes in Popular Culture: Exploring TV Characters (Volume 1) by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

Who are the most interesting and popular antiheroes of television over the past 65 years?

Characters like Tony Soprano, Walter White, Don Draper, Dexter Morgan are obvious ones – men who broke the rules of society in dramatic and horrific ways. Still we followed their actions week to week, season upon season.

Yet compelling antiheroes can be ‘good’ guys and gals, too.

Remember the decent, wholesome and ‘classic’ antihero like Thomas Magnum, who upheld the law and was ethical, moral and caring towards his clients and friends alike?

What about Archie Bunker? Although he was a man whose ideology of the 1970’s reflected that of the 1950’s, he was a character that America loved to see argue with his son-in-law, his daughter, and even his wife, every Saturday night.

‘Remember the emotionally damaged antihero like Adrian Monk from Monk? A former brilliant SFPD detective suffering from over 300 phobias, but with support from his personal assistant and former superior officer, Mr. Monk still functioned well enough to solve murders.

Sheldon Cooper? A beloved antihero on The Big Bang Theory, this selfish and sarcastic antihero still brought us laughter for 12 seasons on CBS.

My book. I’m No Superman! Antiheroes in Popular Culture (Volume 1), showcases the Top 80 antiheroes of All-Time. Characters such as the fugitive, Richard Kimble, to amusing men and women like Basil Fawlty, Fred Sanford, Larry David, Fleabag,and Selena Meyer made the list too. Even antiheroes from the Game of Thrones (Tyrion and Jame Lannister plus Daenerys) are featured in this book

Take a moment and read about your favorite antiheroes and just what made them tick – many in awful ways like Ben Linus from Lost to funny ones like Maxwell Smart of, Get Smart.

Lastly, if you enjoy this book, do not forget to look at volume 2 that focuses on movie characters!

Magnificent Mansions

About Magnificent Mansions

Do you feel your life has been thrown away? If so, “Magnificent Mansions” is for you. It will make you think again. This book presents a true story and a compelling discussion about hope for seemingly wasted and unfulfilled lives. The discourse challenges some paradigms or dogmas that unnecessarily lead to frustration and disappointment among many Christians. The message intends for you to look at God, His work in us, and through us.

Matt Louis McCullough demonstrates through relatable and unique perspectives the freedom we can find in loving and being loved by God and trusting His work in us. For decades the author lay awake at night praying to sense some specific purpose and direction but experienced only long periods of silence. He withdraws to the grand arenas of nature and reflects on his outings. Whether within the mountains or oceans, he receives glimpses of the sublime nature of God. Yet Matt finds the most spectacular views are of the rooms being built in our Father’s house. Through scriptural revelations and seeing a noble presence in others, he finds new hope about His life and the room Christ can make for him. May you, too, have this hope and a good glimpse of the magnificent place and life He is preparing for you. Even out of the refuse, God is building a glorious life for His children. And it is grander than we realize!

Mercune’s Dream by C.V. Vobh

Proto thought he’d saved the world and found true love. Or at least, he’d achieved some sort of ending, happy or otherwise.

So when he wakes up in his bed, right where he’d gone to sleep before arriving at Somnus’ Palace, it’s highly disconcerting. “It really was a dream!” he muses sadly.

But, for better or for worse, things are never that simple for Proto. He finds out that what he did back at Somnus’ Palace really was quite important. Overall, he did a good job there as a visitor of dreams, with one exception.

Alas, because of that one exception, the world is going to end in a thousand years.

Proto already saved the world. Now, he needs to save the future. And the key, it turns out, is his visit to Mercune’s dream.

He didn’t get it quite right the first time. Now, he’s got another chance. Will he be able to figure out what he needs to do in Mercune’s dream, in the limited time he has…?
