The Gotland Deception полностью

Thank you again for all your support over the years. It’s meant a lot to Miranda and me, and our three kids. In the meantime, we are down to the final book in our Rise of the Republic series, Into the Schism, that will end this incredible series. To our pleasant surprise, this series and the Monroe Doctrine series have both achieved Amazon KDP All-Star status for quite some time, ranking among the Top 100 most-read series in the science fiction and thriller genres for thirty-four consecutive months. If you haven’t tried this series yet, you’re missing out on one of the most-read series of the 2020s.

We also launched the start a new sci-fi spinoff series within the Rise of the Republic universe called Battles of the Republic — starting with The Intus Invasion. You can purchase your copy here. In this series, we will follow the career progression of several characters we began introducing in books ten, eleven, and twelve of the main Rise of the Republic series. Battles of the Republic will allow us to explore the untold campaigns and the stories of the men and women who fought them.

As always, we appreciate each and every one of you that take the time to read our books. We definitely couldn’t do this without you. If you’ve enjoyed The Gotland Deception, we would love it if you could take a moment and write a review on Amazon and Goodreads for us. Early reviews make a huge difference in the success or failure of a new book or series, and it’s how new readers discover our books. As full-time writers, we do live on the sales of our books. For us to continue writing full-time and bringing you the stories you love, we will need your continued support. We hope we have earned it through the years and countless books and stories we’ve given you.

All our best,

James Rosone and Miranda Watson
