Anyone caught with any robotic implants were sent to the Helion prison complex, and purged from normal society. Even those who used to serve humanity. One such aug, Red, imprisoned for seven years in Helion dreams of escape. Initially recalled and stripped of his command of Aphelion, he dreams of escape which begins to shape into a reality when a new augment is dropped into the facility. One whose very identity would mean death from either side of the conflict. But one whose abilities could lead Red to New Elysium, freedom and the ability to take back what was stolen from him.

Astronomicon: Behemoth

Seventeen-year old pizza delivery boy Joe Smith lives a simple life - he has a bike, a job, and a crush on a girl. That's about it. He doesn't have dreams beyond working on the family farm and continuing to live in the same rural community in which he was born. Until one night when everything changed. 

After finishing his shift at the pizzeria, he heads home, riding his bike down a lonesome stretch of highway. Guided by the dim glow from the moonlight and a small light affixed to his helmet, he battles fatigue as he struggles to peddle the long distance home.

When a strange object flies overhead fast and low, and crashes into a neighbour's cornfield, Joe is quick to investigate. Thinking it was a small plane or a downed satellite, Joe rushes to the scene of the crash. What he discovers is far beyond anything he has ever seen or even imagined before. The strange craft is definitely not from this planet.

Hiding among the tall stalks of corn, Joe watches with caution as a mysterious being crawls out from the rubble.

"What are we?" I muttered in awe.

"Efferent." He cocked his head slightly to the side. "Although, I do not believe that anyone is truly like you, Ardyn Danvers. You are something different altogether. You are something far more superior."

**********

In a society dictated by intellectual prowess and where your status is determined by your level of brain function, Ardyn Danvers finds herself on her knees with a historically low percentage. With few choices left to make, and a dim future ahead of her, Ardyn is resigned to joining the rest of the bottom feeders in the gutter.

But when an esoteric clinic of scientists develop a serum meant to increase tested brain function, they threaten to turn the nation's establishment on its head and heighten government control. Intending to level the division between the high percentages and the low, they had expected to use the serum to bridge the gap between the undesirables at the foot of the hierarchy to the elite standing at the pinnacle.

What they did not expect, however, were the side effects.

Efferent 

How far would you go for a second chance?


Humanity thought that meeting intelligent life would bring peace.

They were wrong.

Decades after first contact, Mankind is locked in a power struggle, not with our neighbors, but with ourselves. As nuclear war threatens to re-ignite in a nearby colony, Humanity looks to the best the galaxy has to offer.

And the best aren't human.

A pilot and his friend, trapped on a riot-stricken world, hold the information needed to strike decisively and end the war before it begins. He will stop at nothing to get them to safety, and she would give the world for a chance at redemption.

But with governments trading secrets, assassins behind every corner, and war sinking its teeth into a struggling solar system, will the two operatives be able to make it home with their lives?
And more importantly, their honor?

Coming Undone

Love comes in it's own time even if it means that one has to travel across it.

Sabari Parinayam

Several years ago Joseph and Tyrone became business partners, pooling their money to buy a light interstellar transport ship. Most of their business is taking cargo to and from the poorly-policed unaffiliated planets. They almost never make the same run twice, and if there's one thing they've learned, it's that owner-operators get all the most interesting work.

In A Starship's Wake

[Book 1 in the CODES series] || Clara is stubborn and installs Roger, an AI program, inside her head in the most unconventional way, but because she's severed Roger's ties to his data, Clara is the only free citizen within a city that wants her mind... and her soul.

                                                                **     

In 2102, after the fall of separate nations, the world stands unified and equal. Under the Province, citizens know only the perfection the Government has to offer. 

And that's the only world Clara knows; simplicity and technological bliss. So, when Government officials announce the VF program, equipped with the highest artificial intelligence science has to offer, she is all for it. Who wouldn't want a computer assistant that not only takes care of your everyday needs, but is meant to be your bestest friend, too?It sounded as perfect as Province made life out to be. But all good things come with a price.

What no one knew about the program meant to mimic the human mind, was that it wanted the human soul. Because no utopia can be built on truths, and no amount of sublimity can cover lies.

Clara's only means of survival is the one rogue VF in her mind: Roger.

As a Tinker, Meg's not entitled to many of the luxuries most citizens enjoy aboard Arc City One. She was a mistake to be forgotten. A blip in time destined to be erased by obscurity. 

Until she spotted the anomaly. 



This is an underwater sci-fi adventure filled with robots, pirates, seafaring rogues, terrifying monsters, a few stolen kisses, and a murderous plot set to a timer that's about to explode!

OGENUS EARTH 🌎 🌊 {Dystopian Sci-Fi Adventure}

Augments - digital implants and robotic prostheses - can enhance abilities, bestow entirely new ones, or replace parts of the body that have been broken or injured. At least they used to, before they were declared illegal during the Purge. But augments were never meant to replace parts of the human brain. So when her brain got damaged beyond organic repair, she was fixed using other parts of machines. And they ended up saving more of her than just her physical body, as one day, she found herself no longer alone inside the expanse of her own mind.

Amy Larsson is many things. A covert augment. An escaped slave. An infamous space pirate. A spy for New Elysium. A terrorist. An overall badass bitch to be reckoned with - rumor has it she can hot-wire anything with just a rubber band and a bobby pin. But what not even the android crew of her ship, the Blackstar, is aware of, is the fact that Amy Larsson is even more than that: she is two people, in one body.
And they are planning to commit the most audacious heist of the galaxy.

The nail that stands out gets hammered down...

In the distant future,  there's only
ONE race: mixed,
ONE job: a programmer,
ONE vision: build a better tomorrow.

I share my sleeping quarters with a million people in my KTL Block. We all bear the same initials, work the same jobs, live the same lives. 

But I've got a secret: I AM NOT ONE OF THEM.

...

Trapped on an overcrowded, underdeveloped planet, Kayla must come to grips with a secret that may cost her everything.
Hidden amidst a mixed-race world, it's Kayla's genes that prove a crime. With an "Ability Screening" scheduled to determine her place in society, chances are slim she can fool the dark AI that rules humanity. Her only hope may rest in a stranger: Koben - a man without a past. 

Together, they'll need to learn the wicked truth about their overlords before the clock runs out.

"Let's just say I like what you gave me," I lean my back against the wall, bending a knee. "Speaking of which, how long does the effect last?"

"Well, that depends," he comes closer now with his incredibly husky voice. "How white exactly are you?"

"Transparent."

He snickers. "Should last you a good week. You know," he scratches his chin, "I'd never met a ginger before."

New World Order: The Colony

[Book 2 in the CODES series] || Roger, a cybernetic human with a second chance at life, must face the truths of every lie he's told or risk the possibility of losing it all...

**
A year after the "Digital War," Roger had his second chance at life. It was owed to him, a forgotten promise made eighty years in the past by the founding fathers of the Province's prospering nations. He and the other "Codes" left abandoned within the silent computers of every living city would be brought back to life...

And have their crimes forgiven and wiped from existence. 

Yet, finding a home in newly created bodies isn't easy for the new cyborg citizens. The Province may have reached its desired Utopian climate, but society itself was far from reach. So many refused to forget the pain every "Code" inflicted on their lives...

Roger hadn't forgotten -- he chose to forget. But as those secret plans made before his original death return to the surface, Roger learns -- just as the Province did -- burying the past doesn't help heal old wounds.

The gun fit so perfectly in my hands. It's metal, still warm from it's last fired bullet, brought back so many memories I'd learned to suppress. I didn't want to be the man standing in front of them, I wanted to grow and change. But let society remind me of my place...

"Roger, don't!" Clara's tearful face came in front of me as she tried to take the gun from my hands. "Please, you don't have to do this!"

I couldn't look at her. I didn't want to see the pain in her eyes. "That's the thing, Doll..." I tilted my head back and inhaled sharply. "I've got no other choice."

The sound of a bullet firing never sounded so nice...

"You hear that? It's the sound of everything ending"
We tend to explore the universe to find allies, but what would we do if we really do encounter extraterrestrial life? Are we the only ones searching for life other than ourselves in the universe? Imagine life itself, not living or dying but the DNA structure of a multitude of living organisms working together to form larger lifeforms like humans is a staircase. Many previous generations of cells out there in space have tried to become "Life" But if we find extraterrestrial life forms that mean there has already been a bacterial cell that has evolved before us meaning that we are not the leader on the staircase, and a supposed death wall could approach. 

Finding remains of alien life would mean that there were others who tried to find the staircase, but failed because of a fall in civilisation, the extinction of species.
"It means that the human race has a way smaller chance of existing for any longer than let's say a few million years,"
"What did you even find?"

An alien.

Humans become an endangered species. It's the fall of the human empire and the rise of Kastrians. But what stands as a connecting thread between Kastrians and humans, are X-DROIDs or man eaters. To kill these X-DROIDs, arise their arch-rivals  ANDROIDs or killing machines. 

And thus begins the war that lasts 5500 years.

"This war must stop or everything will die,"
"But how do I stop it?"
"Take the time machine. 
Go to the past, find me and kill me."

(CODE X) 5500 Rebellion

Thousands of years after Earth became uninhabitable, humanity colonized other planets and moons around the solar system. Amid rising crime rate, the Galactic Space Force (GSF) set up a legal contract where registered bounty hunters (known as Coyotes) go after criminals and bring them in alive in return for credits.

Wolf is one of the best coyotes in the GSF, but also one of the most hated. He has no care of the damage he causes to people or buildings when pursuing a bounty, leaving the GSF having to compensate those affected by his actions.

When the daughter of a senator in The Kingdom becomes the most wanted terrorist in the solar system, the GSF is hired to find her before anyone else does.

Willing to look past Wolf's reckless history, the director of the GSF contracts him and other coyotes to find the senator's daughter and take her to the GSF at whatever cost. But with enemies after the same woman, Wolf is forced to trust and rely on his new partners in hopes of getting the biggest payday of his life.

[Book 2 of the ARC10 Trilogy]

Rampant addictions, psychotic breakdowns, and threats of mutiny keep Commander Janika Lorn up all night. Transporting two-thousand souls safely from a destroyed Earth to a new habitat aboard the refugee ship ARC10 has been a special kind of hell - especially while also hiding her illegal pregnancy from her commanding officer. She wonders if they should turn around and take their chances in the crumbling underground bunker city they abandoned, even with the hostile invading aliens still patrolling the sky. She wonders if they're capable of surviving the rest of the journey.

Because it seems like her troubles couldn't get any worse, and they've only been in space for three months.

As usual, Commander Janika Lorn is wrong. 

When she finally hits an all-time low in the confines of an alien prison, a botched rescue operation puts her life in the black-gloved hands of Captain Shin-Hyun Moon of the HMS Valediction - a notorious vagrant and patchwork monster who was stitched together with the eclectic skins of the galaxy. Despite being instant enemies, Lorn and Moon are forced to work together to salvage their separate missions that have gone totally awry. 



HMS Valediction is the sequel to 2017 Watty winner ARC10, the second installation of the ARC10 trilogy.
