I need to get back on track with what I was doing before all the delays occurred, so I'm looking for readers again, I've got several books where I'm looking for first impressions, more to see if the story holds interest in the first place than anything else, most of them are nearly completed (2014 was a good year), and wouldn't take much to finish off.
What I've got is as follows
In Iron Clad -
I don’t remember the sun…
I hadn’t been born when the
lights went out, but mum used to tell me of the days when the light was free
for everyone, not rationed by the guilds and fed through failing bulbs and
dynamo’s
All I know is the darkness…
And the work…Always the work…
Alone in the world with nothing to look forwards to but the endless breaking
of ships in the dark of the Umbralux docks, Green knows she has nothing coming,
death comes for everyone, and she’s no exception, the only question is how long
she has before it comes to her. A ship
returns from the far east of the Cold dark, it’s crew missing, it’s cargo
plundered, nothing left of value on board to anyone, but a means to make a new
life on the waves for those who have nothing else to look forwards to.
With a crew consisting of a Onceman, three Milrats, a fellow docker,
and a Rat Nav, Green sets out into the darkness, there to search for the person
who owned the ship, a man she’s never known.
Her father…

Ocean of Stars -
A routine scavenging operation in the Tyrannous stars becomes a journey
to the other end of time when they encounter a derelict in space. Torn from the raiding lanes, the crew find
themselves in a world where ships roam the stars on sails of solid light, and
the universe is no longer the place they thought it to be.
Pressed into service on the pirate frigate Unbroken Dawn, the crew find themselves at the mercy of Captain
Morgan, a woman hunting the mythical treasures beyond the incandescent death
offered by Argents Breath, willing to sacrifice anyone and anything to get what
she wants. As the Unbroken
Dawn nears the object of the captains obsession, the crew have to decide if
they want to follow her to untold riches (with a side order of death), or
consider mutiny (and a side order of death) to take the ship and return to
their own time.

Regiment B -
There was a world where science had overcome all ills, where technology
had an answer to almost everything, and the dawn of a brighter tomorrow was on
the horizon…
This is not that world…
On this world, the machines rebelled against their owners, and the Cult
of the Pure rose to show mankind of the folly of making use of technology, they
promised safety and security in return for not using the technology that had
caused all the strife.
But the cult never mentioned that the machines were still out there,
and the only ones with the power to stand against them were the deviants who they
preached hate against, those who had suffered grievous injuries in battle or in
life, and only through the aid of forbidden implants did they exist from day to
day. These are the last chance of
humanity, reviled by those they protect, they form humanities last defence.
Regiment B
Struck down by the machines, Vincent Emerson is given the choice
between the restricted life his injuries will allow him, or service in the
Regiments at the cost of the life he once knew…

Let me know if any of them interest...
