Awesome news: there&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/storybundle.com\/scifi\">new sci-fi adventure bundle<\/a> up on storybundle.com, and\u00a0<strong>Bringing Stella Home<\/strong> is one of the bonus novels! This is a big collaboration with a bunch of really great authors, and I&#8217;m thrilled to be a part of it. To explain\u00a0it a little more, here&#8217;s the curator Joseph R. Lallo:<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/storybundle.com\/scifi\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sci-Fi Adventure Bundle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0&#8211; Curated by Joseph R. Lallo<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My history with StoryBundle goes all the way back to the very beginning, literally to the Big Bang (Bundle) that started it all. Since then, both StoryBundle and I have been on a remarkable a journey. I&#8217;ve published over a dozen new titles and found my way to the top of charts around the globe. StoryBundle has worked with some of the finest authors in the world and continued to help worthwhile charities. A few things have remained constant. StoryBundle is still dedicated to gathering and distributing hand-picked indie books from talented authors, and we&#8217;ve both kept a soft spot in our hearts for the science fiction action and adventure that brought us together in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was asked to curate this bundle, we felt the history of the bundle and that initial sci-fi flavor would be a fine theme to build it around. Over the years I&#8217;ve collaborated with some of the superstars of indie publishing as well as some talented up-and-comers, and they each had exciting new projects to offer. Quick and witty dialogue, chilling and realistic settings, deep and philosophical quandaries, and good old fashioned carnage fill these pages from cover to cover. Each one embodies the intrigue and excitement that you can only get from quality science fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the biggest and best bundles we&#8217;ve ever put together.\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oasis\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by New York Times Bestseller Dima Zales will blur the line of utopia and dystopia.

We&#8217;ve got brilliant series-starters by Patty Jansen, M. Pax, and Joe Vasicek that are sure to hook you from the first page and never let you go. All told, that&#8217;s\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fifteen<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0titles from\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nine<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0authors in one colossal bundle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every title is a cunningly woven tale of sci-fi mastery. We&#8217;ve got aquatic wastelands and complex time loops. There are hard-edge military stories and tales of the struggle to survive. The triumph of the human spirit, the fall of civilizations, and everything in between can all be yours. Just name your own price and dive into the action!\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Joseph R.
