I’m delighted to be part of Titan Books‘ blog tour for Re-Coil by J.T. Nicholas, which sounds like a thrilling space opera mystery, with reanimated corpses! Courtesy of Titan Books, I have two finished copies of Re-Coil up for grabs (giveaway is open to UK, Europe, U.S. & Canada) at the end of this post! I’m really excited to check this out. Here’s more about the book:
Out on a salvage mission with a skeleton crew, Carter Langston is murdered by animated corpses left behind on this ship. Yet in this future, everyone’s consciousness backup can be safely downloaded into a brand-new body, and all you’d lose are the memories of what happened between your last backup and your death. But when Langston wakes up in his new body, he is immediately attacked in the medbay and has to fight once again for his life—and his immortality. Because this assassin aims to destroy his core forever.
Determined to find his shipmates and solve this evolving mystery, Langston locates their tech whiz Shay Chan, but two members are missing and perhaps permanently killed. Langston and Chan are soon running for their lives with the assassin and the corporation behind him in hot pursuit.
What Langston and Chan ultimately find would signal the end of humanity. What started as a salvage mission just might end up saving the world.
About the author:
J.T. NICHOLAS is the author of the upcoming science fiction novel ReCoil (February 2020 from Titan Books) and the neo-noire science fiction series, The New Lyons Sequence (available now from Rebel Base Books).
J.T. was born in Lexington, Virginia, though within six months he moved (or was moved, rather) to Stuttgart, Germany. Thus began the long journey of the military brat, hopping from state to state and country to country until, at present, he has accumulated nearly thirty relocations. This experience taught him that, regardless of where one found oneself, people were largely the same.
When not writing, J.T. spends his time practicing a variety of martial arts, playing games (video, tabletop, and otherwise), and reading everything he can get his hands on.
J.T. currently resides in Wilmington, North Carolina with his wife, a pair of indifferent cats, and two Australian Shepherd puppies intent on destroying anything and everything that fits in their mouths.
This sound interesting! I was curious because I am thinking about starting to read some space opera, but then you wrote “reanimated corpse” and now I know I have to try this one out!!
Ooo… this one sounds like a really cool premise. You do manage to find the most fascinating books, Tammy!
I don’t know if I’ve seen this around before- but this sounds awesome. Kind of pulling in a lot of elements I love from other SciFi stories. Thanks for sharing!
The cover on this is so well-designed and I love the colors! All of it pulls your eyes right in!
What an intriguing plot. I personally love the mystery and sci-fi genre so after reading the summary I am dying to find out more.
this is the first i’ve heard of this, but the cover and description makes it look like a good read.
This book looks so cool, I can’t wait to read it!
I love the cover for this one so much!
Love Science Fiction books! Been awhile since I’ve read a good book. This one sounds like a good one!
It scares me to think that someone somewhere might be trying to do this. That makes for an intense read.

This does have a great premise – I can’t wait to read your thoughts on it.

This book sounds really interesting! I’m always for reanimated corpses. I normally would say I don’t do space operas, but I’ve been loving them lately and really trying to read more of them! I think I’m finally coming around.
