M.R. Forbes is the author of a growing number of science-fiction series including Rebellion, War Eternal, Chaos of the Covenant, Stars End, and the Forgotten novels. Having spent his childhood trying to read every sci-fi novel he could find (and write his own too), play every sci-fi video game he could get his hands on, and see every sci-fi movie that made it into the theater, he has a true love of the genre across every medium. He works hard to bring that same energy to his own stories, with a continuing goal to entertain, delight, fascinate, and surprise.

He maintains a true appreciation for his readers and is always happy to hear from them.

She's also incredibly friendly and unafraid of people or dogs, but she HATES other cats. Our dog likes to play with cat toys, pounces on them like a cat, and since she's a Japanese Chin, she licks her paws and uses them to clean her face (it's a breed trait). She's also incredibly lazy and mellow. She loves cats, and HATES most dogs unless they just lay there.(less)

Hi Ann,

Thanks for asking. The reason for the delay in the rest of the series coming to audio is that the publisher of the War Eternal series, Podium, ended up in a contract dispute with Audible, and wasn't able to release any new books until everything was resolved. This resolution occurred recently, and I'm happy to say the other titles in the series will start flowing onto Audible soon.

I've been told that The End of Liberty will be released on February 2, and should be up for pre-order any day now. The other books should follow within 30-60 days successively after that.

Best,
Michael.(less)

After narrowly escaping destruction, Nicholas and his crew find themselves flung far across the universe with no way home. When a distress call from a nearby planet catches their attention, they decide to investigate with the hope the signal is somehow connected to their arrival.

It isn’t long before the truth of Foresight’s mission comes into clearer focus, and Nicholas doesn’t like what he sees.

“Pain is life, and life is pain. If it didn't hurt, you didn't care, and if you didn't care, you're already dead,”
M.R. Forbes, Dead of Night

“We don’t get to choose the universe we live in. We only get to choose how we live in it.”
M.R. Forbes, Invasion

“Love was a tricky thing, a word to describe something that for most intents was indescribable.”
M.R. Forbes, War Eternal, Books 1-3

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
Muhammad Ali
