The Universe of Adventure Sci-Fi Bundle - Curated by independent authors John Wilker & Dave Walsh

When it comes to science fiction, there are a lot of different flavors. Through the ages, science fiction has been many things to a great many people. It's never been just one thing. Just one type of story. There's sci-fi that's quiet and contemplative, sci-fi that sticks to our understanding of modern science, then there's sci-fi that spans different galaxies and times, or even sci-fi that warps our understanding of reality.

But when most people think of science fiction, it's hard not to think of adventure.

It doesn't always have to be grand, galaxy-hopping adventures, either. Sometimes it's smaller-scale stories, focusing instead on a few characters going up against inconceivable odds.

For this bundle, we've collected books from all across the wide world of science fiction and found adventures big and small. The kind of books that help you remember why you fell in love with science fiction in the first place.

The StoryBundle exclusive Ptolemy Lane Tales Bundle features three hard-boiled noir detective stories set on a futuristic backdrop. There's a lot more to explore when it comes to thrilling adventures, like Pyscho Electric, featuring a cyborg who finds himself in a galaxy of trouble.

What about space pirates? Oh yeah, there's Ghost Pirate Gambit, an adventure about a woman looking to loot a dead pirate's lost space station. Or Shifting Reality, an action-filled thriller set on a space station exploring humanity's quest for breeding the perfect soldier. Bypass Gemini, in a special edition exclusive to StoryBundle, features a racer-turned-freelancer who gets roped into a whole lot of trouble.

What about superheroes? The League of Independent Operatives, Books 1-3 has you covered, with three thrilling superhero books chock full of adventure.

The John Wilker Series Starter bundle is another StoryBundle exclusive, featuring the first two volumes of Wilker's Space Rogues saga, as well as the first two books of the interconnected Grand Human Empire series. In the same vein, C. Gockel's Convergence anthology packs more than a few punches, featuring space marines, aliens, scientists and even whiskery little ones getting into the mix.

For those looking for more contemplative stories, the Devon Island Mars Colony complete series explores a neurodiverse, culturally diverse, gender-bendy future Martian colony to life. CONSTELLIS VOSS Vol 1: Colour Theory tackles a future aboard a planet-sized ship, rogue AIs through an anime-inspired lens. For those interested in the contrast between art and war, the space opera Broken Ascension brings tons of action through the eye of a young artist trying to save the galaxy.

To wrap it all up, look for adventure in the 2018 Nebula Award Finalist for best novella, Fire Ant by Jonathan Brazee, where a routine exploration mission turns into an adventure with massive stakes. – John Wilker & Dave Walsh
