The Israeli Defense Force's best SF author, Yakov Merkin, launched a crowdfunding campaign at Indiegogo today, aimed at helping him get books 4 & 5 of his Galaxy Ascendant series out the door and into your hands. Here he is, in his own words, pitching it to you. Have a listen.
You can also see that he's not starting something new, but continuing something he's been doing while on active duty in the IDF. The man's as committed to putting out fantastic Space Opera as I am, and he's killing it. If you're new to the series, you can buy copies direct from him as a Perk; this helps more than buying his work on Amazon. As for the other Perks on offer, take a good look; he's offering backers some seriously fun things for these books and how he'll make use of them is going to be entertaining in its own right.
As with Nick Cole, Brian Niemeier, Rawle Nyanzi, and myself Yakov's committed to entertaining an audience that--at least in the West--is underserved and disrepected by the former greats of the field. If you wish to do more than just buy our books, this is a clear way to show that support. Hint the link and contribute today if you can; Yakov won't be the only one who will appreciate it if you do.
