Meet Sam Brodie on January 8

The Lazarus Key: print editions and an early audio edition are here!

Dec 18, 2023

We’re only 3 weeks away from the official release of The Lazarus Key, and I’m getting excited. Are you getting excited? The early reviews are already coming in.

"The Lazarus Key is a thrilling, action packed story that will keep you on the edge of your seat!" —Alyssa at IntoTheHeartWyld

I can now confirm will include the audiobook through all major retailers! Danielle Vasinova narrated the audio (her first audiobook!), and I think she does a perfect job at conveying Sam Brodie’s voice and personality. If you use Spotify, I have some early audio copies available. If you’d like one, email me. I’ll use a random generator to select and notify the winners this Friday.

The print and hardcover formats for The Lazarus Key are out now (perfect time for holiday shopping!), so if you’d like a copy for your bookshelf, you can select from paperback, hardcover, and deluxe hardcover editions.

"Game Warden Sam Brodie finds her life is at stake as she unravels a sinister plan to clone extinct animals. Aukes does a fantastic job of creating a realistic sci-fi thriller that will have readers' eyes wide open. Fast-paced, with strong, willful characters, and plenty of science and technology references, The Lazarus Key is perfect for fans of Jurassic Park and Planet of the Apes." —Kristi Elizabeth, Chicago Book Review

Get ready to meet Sam Brodie on January 8!

In other news, Secondhand Spaceman comes out February 4 on Kindle and in paperback, with a new bite-sized novella coming out the first Monday of each month. Secondhand Starship is finished and edited, and I’m expecting to wrap up Secondhand Singularity by year-end. Here’s one of the early reviews starting to come in:

"An excellent palate cleanser in between bigger tomes and would be enjoyed by anyone into absurdist SFF or those looking for a short and fun one-sitting read!" – Lynsey is Reading, NetGalley reviewer

And finally, my buddy, Jasper Scott, has a new kindle bundle out this week. The bundle contains the entire Cade Korbin series (all 5 books) for only 99 cents (also available on Kindle Unlimited).
