Outlawed Colonies Release Dates
I had to rearrange the titles in my Outlawed Colony series. If you’re reading the books the sequence should be Game Theory, Heirs of Avalon, then Apex Predator. It just makes more sense.
Not all authors are this picky about the sequences of the tales they’ve tied together…but I know how aggravated it makes me because one of my favorite authors has a bunch of book trilogies set in different 3 time periods and she always starts in the middle, bounces back to the Victorian era and then to the future.
It did mean I had to re-do the covers to show the correct series numbers and release dates. Fortunately, Game Theory is finished so the release date for book 1 of June 30th works fine. I might move Avalon’s release date from Sept 30th to Nov 30th, with Apex set to release just in time for Christmas. It makes it so much easier when I have lots of time for re-writes and editing

Mathias and Ivette were sent to earth to learn about Portal Technology. When they brought back the codes to reach the other outlawed colonies their bosses were ecstatic.

Not all the colonists are happy with the status quo either, and rebellion is brewing. Mathias is horrified to discover his older brother is in league with the rebels. Does he betray his brother to save his family and his colony?
The rebels are furious when Mathias and Ivette return to live in the house she inherited from her grandmother.

When their home is invaded by the rebel army, Mathias and Ivette must not only protect their new children but defeat the conspirator's as well.

DELETED SCENES
Conversation Between Ivette And Abby
Abby looked curiously at her old roommate. “Your children are so talented. But whatever made you and Mathias take on so many at once?”
“We had to; Those animals who killed everyone and the Normals who were supposed to take care of them had just left them to starve! I told Mathias those monsters weren’t getting the children back, and he agreed.”
Abby started laughing. “You mean you just took them out of that place?”
“Yes, and I’m not a bit sorry. Oh, Abby it was so pitiful. Here were these intelligent, bright, beautiful children and they could barely form sentences!”
“At three? How did they talk to them?”
“They didn’t. The children started coming out of their shells pretty fast though when they had been with us for only a few days.”

5 OUT OF 5 STARS
This is another (#5) in the Outlawed Colonies series. Gail Daley has created a unique set of worlds from which to develop her stories. Each has been very straightforward and easy to follow. This is novella - not a short story but not a full novel either. The characters are developed just enough for the reader to feel comfortable with the action and the interaction between them. There is even the hint of a wedding in the story along with hero's and heroines, villains of both sexes, fascinating creatures and exotic venues. I highly recommend this as an easy read for those interested in sci-fi that is believable and quite accurate in the possible development of physical and societal futures. I received an ARC and this is my honest appraisal of this short novel.

5 stars
Another in the Outlawed Colonies series, the story reads easily. Ms. Daley creates a complete world and interactive society that is unique yet feels very familiar. The characters are well drawn and completely believable in a style her readers will find familiar. The book has a glossary of information on all of the outlawed colonies she has created which will help the readers new to her works to understand the fantasy universe she had created but reads we.all as a standalone novel. The storyljne is easy to follow and certainly not boring. I highly recommend Alex Predator. I received an ARC and this is my honest opinion of this novel.

Deadly plants and predators, what else could Zach be exposed to. Danger everywhere. An amazing story with great characters to keep you intrigued once it’s released.

The Outlaw Colony of Lemuria has more than its share of deadly plants and animals.
These are only some of the challenges faced by Zach Tylor as he guides a group of Researchers to an isolated site on the planet. Along the way Zach uncovers a dangerous conspiracy.
Suspense has you turning the pages to see the outcomes.
GAME THEORY REVIEWS
By Laura S Reading
Instant family, loyalties tested, strong females
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2022
While this veers off from my typical reading I was intrigued by the concept.
A newly matched couple rescues cloned children and must take them to a different world to keep them safe.
Upon returning home with their new family, home doesn't turn out to be a safe spot. Lots of military intrigue. Very strong female characters.
Some sensitive topics, tastefully handed, but still made me a bit squeemish.
This is just a glimpse into this world and if you are a science fiction fan I believe you will find it intriguing.
I want to see how these characters develop.
These are my own opinions. I was gifted a copy of this book and not required to post a positive review.

Another great Science Fiction thriller from Gail Daley
A data crystal essential to the Outlawed Colonies is stolen leading to murder. Families are embroiled in the resulting fallout. But what of the crystal?
Gail Daley again weaves a wonderful futuristic story with strong characters and an intriguing storyline that leaves you wanting more.
Highly recommended if you enjoy this genre

Once more Gail Daley has given readers a fascinating view of the future in worlds similar, but differing in many ways, from Earth society and development. Action is a constant in her writing and this book does not disappoint. The characters are well-drawn, with some familiar to readers of past books in this series. However, it us a novel that stands alone as well. I highly recommend it to adults and young adults. I received an ARC and this is my honest review of this novel.

5 of 5 stars
This is an easy to read tale from one of the Outlaw Planets, Shangri-la. Ms. Daley has created a fantasy universe with multiple planets having different living conditions and governments. She has created well-drawn characters to fill these planets which are connected, through portals, to an Earth devastated by pandemics and continental shifts. I do not believe in reiterating storylines as I feel it detracts from a reader's enjoyment. However, the author has created an amazing set of stories, each of which can be a standalone, enjoyable read, but which together form an entirely believable universe that could actually come to pass in the future. I highly recommend this novella. I received an ARC and this is my honest assessment of this book
Myra McCullouch
5 of 5 stars
Another great read from Gail Daley.
The off world colonies, those that inhabit them and their stories are wonderfully entertaining.
Set on Shangri-la this sci-fi murder mystery is littered with suspects and intrigues. Corruption, greed, blackmail, and signs of political unrest make for interesting times to come for Clemintine and Mason.
Thank you for the opportunity to read your book
