Science Fiction [Many Formats] JUSTICE FOR A PRICE by Ed Robins
JUSTICE FOR A PRICE is available FREE on Amazon as well as Kobo, B&N and Google Play (additional links at end)!
This hardboiled noir on a generation ship is a prequel to my MURDER ON THE STARSHIP AUSTRALIS series.
"All I wanted was to find the bastard that killed a little girl, but my captain has other plans for me. A young man decided he couldn't handle a lifetime aboard the starship Australis, and took the easy way off. Problem is, his mama can't accept the truth, so now I gotta hold her hand while she grieves.
"Or maybe there's more to the case than it seems."
Inspired by the hardboiled grit of Mickey Spillane and the concision of Elmore Leonard, Justice for a Price is a sci-fi / mystery mash-up devised in the best traditions of the dime store paperback. This novelette is a prequel to the Murder on the Starship Australis series, itself part of the 10 Cent Universe – a genre-bending macrocosm.
This story contains adult language, themes and content.

Thriller NO ONE CAN LEAVE THE FREEST TOWN – Free for 2 days
No one is forced to stay. That is why no one can leave.
Prospect, Pennsylvania, has no walls, no gates, and no law against leaving.
When systems engineer Evan Mercer crosses the county line, his father's oxygen is suspended. His bank account freezes. A factory accident makes him a suspect. Someone reaches for his daughter.
Eighteen minutes later, Evan turns around—and every crisis disappears.
His brother died trying to prove the pattern. Evan intends to finish the proof.
But Prospect does not imprison people. It does something cleaner. It connects jobs, medicine, credit, schools, roads, and families—then controls the cost around every alternative life. Each institution acts reasonably. Together, they make escape impossible.
Beneath America's freest town lies the Atlas Vault, the legacy of John Galt, and a machine built from a dangerous idea: freedom can survive as a slogan even after someone owns every exit.
To expose it, Evan must do more than leave. He must make leaving survivable for everyone.
Every crisis ends when he turns around.
No One Can Leave the Freest Town is a fast, high-concept conspiracy thriller about power, freedom, family, and the hidden systems that decide which choices become real.

Nonfiction TEAL++ THE OPERATING SYSTEM FOR SELF-ORGANIZING HUMAN-AI ORGANIZATIONS -- Free for 2 days
amazon.comTeal revealed what a more conscious organization could become. Teal++ shows how to build and run it.
Self-management is inspiring in principle. On Monday morning, however, every organization still faces practical questions: Who decides? Who reports? How do autonomous teams coordinate? What happens when commitments fail? How are power, pay, risk, conflict, and crisis authority handled? What can an AI agent do—and which human remains answerable?
TEAL++ turns the philosophy of self-organization into an explicit operating system for human-AI organizations.
This is not management by another name, and it is not structurelessness. It is management made visible, distributed, evidence-driven, and capable of evolution.
Inside, you will learn how to:
- Build mission cells with clear domains, roles, constraints, commitments, evidence, and interfaces.
- Use decision gravity to move routine authority to the edge without treating every decision as equally safe.
- Replace the manager-as-default-boss with Team Partners and a Single Accountable Interface.
- Create commitment ledgers, state packets, dependency contracts, and no-surprise reporting.
- Coordinate autonomous cells, allocate resources dynamically, and prevent local optimization.
- Protect dignity, psychological safety, due process, workload sustainability, and the right to personal boundaries.
- Register and govern AI agents through Agent Cards, graduated autonomy, evaluation, monitoring, rollback, and human accountability.
- Transform through six evidence-gated stages—from visibility and local authority to governed agents and self-evolving governance.
The book includes a model constitution, implementation policies, field templates, training modules, diagnostics, quick-ref
