Battlefront is available on Amazon as both an eBook and paperback. Jeff’s manuscript for Battlefront was nearly complete at the time of his death in July 2017, and the final editing and assembly was done by his father, Gus Carlson, as a tribute to Jeff and a service to his many fans.
]]>The Galaxy is a Dumpster Fire…
A hot, stinking, dumpster fire. And most days I don’t know if the legionnaires are putting out the flames, or fanning them into an inferno.
A hostile force ambushes Victory Company during a reconnaissance-in-force deep inside enemy territory. Stranded behind enemy lines, a sergeant must lead a band of survivors against merciless insurgents on a deadly alien world somewhere along the galaxy’s edge. With no room for error, the Republic’s elite fighting force must struggle to survive under siege while waiting on a rescue that might never come.
When you think you’ve surrounded the Legion… you’ve just made your last mistake.
Legionnaire is the thrilling introduction to Nick Cole & Jason Anspach’s Galaxy’s Edge series!

Fortunately, Genius Jasper knows what he is doing. Look at this!!!!
Fan mail and positive reviews are uber freaking cool. Each new book is a marathon. Every thumbs-up keeps me going.
Sometimes I agree with negative reviews, too. Day by day, I try to learn and improve, and I’m very much aware that I’m not perfect. On the other hand, on occasion a negative review is just frustrating.
Lately, FS1 has seen a steady stream of new posts on Amazon. Here is the most awesome review I’ve ever seen! Thanks, man!! “Unique, creative, fantastic”…
…followed by a one-star review by somebody who was bored before the end of the first chapter.
Dude, the first chapter is, like, five pages long????
Next here are some older reviews for Plague Year on Amazon.ca, where a Canadian fan recently pointed me to what can only be described as the World’s Greatest Negative Review EVER!!!!
Check this out…
Okay, look. It’s been a while since I read Plague Year, but I did write it. I remember there are a few sequences in which our heroes are so overcome by pain and adrenaline and grief that they stagger like drunks through the ruins post-apocalyptic California. In this extreme, Cam briefly experiences visual and auditory hallucinations. I guess those are the “dream sequences”?”
There is not a single dog (or any kind of pet) in the story. They ate the pets! There definitely isn’t a talking dog. Color me confused!!
And thank you to everyone who enjoys the books!

For a sci fi guy living in the future, I don’t get out much. I’d never heard of floating… but it is the in thing, kids! It’s also relaxing. You get into this crazy space pod by yourself, the water is warm and incredibly buoyant, the lights go out, it’s just you and the universe in near-total sensory deprivation. Suspended gravity! Silence! Healing!
Diana and I both tried it. Thumbs up.
My short story “Pressure” leads off a new sci fi anthology called At The Helm, which is for sale on Kindle today. Below is the snappy description. Here is the space battle cover art.
Interstellar journeys. Epic battles. Artificial Intelligence’s longing for meaning. Life as we know it, ending…
Sci-Fi Bridge is thrilled to present its first collection from bestselling authors and newly emerging writers. These stories span the near and far future. They transport you to worlds unknown. They examine today’s fears amid tomorrow’s technologies. From the far corners of the galaxy to the inner reaches of the human heart, the exciting stories in At the Helm will thrill, inspire, and make you wonder–do humans have what it takes to build a better future? Or are we doomed by our own failings?
