Featured Release
The Union is gone. Interstellar travel is no longer safe. Enter ex-Union Navy Officer Cliff Rawlins.
More than four years after being wrongfully stripped of his rank and decorations in a court-martial stacked against him, ex-Union Navy Officer Cliff Rawlins suddenly finds himself a free man.
The galaxy to which he returns, however, is changing.
The Union of Free Planets is on the verge of dissolving. Many of the shadowy political players working behind the scenes to end the Union are the same people who sent Cliff away. Yet, in the coming political upheaval, Cliff glimpses an opportunity.
For centuries, people have relied upon the Union Navy to act as the policeman of the shipping lanes. With the end of the Union will come the end of the navy. Interstellar commerce is about to become fraught with danger.
Cliff has a way to use his expertise to provide secure transport across interstellar space. A mercenary navy to defend settled space and get rich doing it. After all, he deserves it for what he went through.
But there are enemies old and new who want him to fail. And this time, they want him dead…

AETHON BOOKS is publishing the next generation of Science Fiction & Fantasy, from hit debuts like He Who Fight’s With Monsters, to explosive Military Sci-Fi like Contact Front, to the debut novel by actor Lou Diamond Phillips. Our mission is to build a bridge between authors and their potential readers.
In Ancient greek, the word Aethon meant ‘burning’ or ‘blazing,’ and we hope to blaze a new road for publishing.
We exist for the readers, because we are readers too. We are passionate about genre fiction and are fans of it in all mediums. Movies, TV, Books—it’s all storytelling, and there is nothing we feel more strongly about. Whether it’s helping produce the next great Space Opera or Game of Thrones, or taking books from stagnant genres and breathing new life into them, we vow to only give you exciting, toe-the-line books from both established authors and up-and-comers.
For the authors we work with, we want passionate writers who feel strongly about the stories they’re telling, and go out of our way to treat our authors like family. Having a completely original book these days is nearly impossible, but we believe there is a fresh way to tell every tale. Give us your best shot. If we are rocked by it, we know our readers will be too. So all you authors who are ready to traverse the galaxies and explore the depths of unknown worlds at our side, we’re here for you.
Thanks so much for perusing our little corner of the internet. Keep checking back, there’s always something new in store at Aethon Books!
