Space Fleet Academy: Year One

Jon Del Arroz

?
Humanity chose to suffer. The alternative was extinction. When genetic engineering nearly doomed the species, humanity made a desperate choice: let harsh colony worlds and brutal selection do what nature intended. Two centuries later, the Mandate has kept humanity alive — but at a price no one is allowed to question. Cadet Constantine Ramsey questions it anyway. As a frontier colonist at Earth's Space Fleet Academy, he keeps flinching at the hard calls, outperformed by cadets who do not. Then colonies start going dark — whole worlds, no survivors, no explanation. With senior classes rushed to the frontier, Constantine is thrust onto an unprecedented first-year team at the Inter-Colonial Games. When catastrophe threatens all four colonies at once, he faces the choice the Academy trained him to make — and makes the one they never expected.

Small Unit Tactics

Alexander Romanov

?
A strange, foreign world. Mysterious judges with capricious rules. Thousands of gamers find themselves split into factions and pitted against each other at the whim of an unknown higher power, with no idea how they got there or why they were chosen. Dying hurts — but it is not the end; dead players always respawn. Echo, with his deep knowledge of fighting, armor, and weapons, has all the makings of a great leader. His ragtag unit, fighting under the less-than-threatening name 'Society of Pinprick Enthusiasts,' becomes the terror of opposing factions. But this game won't be won in straightforward skirmishes — it will require pacts, adaptability, and a strategic mind to carve a way to the top. Originally a massive hit in Russia and widely regarded as a forerunner of the LitRPG genre, this series is presented here for the first time in English.

With this new status comes access to power, magic, and skills his kind can rarely attain. In his first quest among the ancient ruins of Kavralach, Ninetoes faces danger and intrigue. Failure means the destruction of his home and people. To become their champion, he must master the magic system, advance as rapidly as possible, and find allies — for a wizard alone is vulnerable.
