Archangel 5 is out today!

Standard

The men who ruled the galaxy are dead.
What comes next may be worse.

Captain Brent Parthet and the Archangels shattered the Consortium’s grip on humanity, killing the architects of a corrupt system that fueled war, exploitation, and genocide. The victory was real—but it left a vacuum no one is prepared for.

With the Consortium leaderless and intelligence agencies in disarray, factions across human space scramble for power. Old enemies maneuver in the shadows, new tyrants rise overnight, and the truth Parthet exposed threatens to tear civilization apart. Chaos is spreading faster than any fleet can contain it.

To stop the next catastrophe, the Archangels must move before the galaxy collapses in on itself. Hidden biolabs, secret communications hubs, and the dark science behind the Archangel program itself hold the key to preventing history from repeating—but every answer comes with a cost.

Trust is fragile. Allies are unreliable. And Parthet is forced to decide how far he’s willing to go to keep humanity from destroying itself all over again.

Book 5 in this new military science fiction series by Rick Partlow, bestselling author of Drop Trooper and Taken to the Stars.

Accidental Astronaut is here

Standard

My new series with JN Chaney of Variant Publications is out! Accidental Astronaut is available now as ebook, paperback or audiobook!

The world needed a hero. Instead, they got Jack.

Dr. Erik Manheim needed a warrior. A Navy SEAL. Someone who could help him confront the threat he uncovered in ancient ruins—evidence that a rogue planet brings devastation every time it passes Earth.

Instead, he got Jack Schafer, hung-over bush pilot in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now Jack is swept into a mission he was never meant to survive—one that stretches from Alaskan wilderness to the stars beyond. Humanity’s future hangs in the balance… and its best hope may be a reluctant pilot who wasn’t supposed to be here at all.

Accidental Astronaut is a gripping, fast-paced blend of survival thriller and epic science fiction—perfect for fans of Andy Weir, Michael Crichton, and James Rollins.
