Alien mastermind Faal has finally achieved his lifelong goal: the permission to eradicate an entire species. It’s not humanity. But the Rik aliens he’s targeting have been taking human bodies for years, and the lines have grown blurry. As the genocide slowly gains steam, it’s no longer safe for Basher to walk his beat without security. It’s no longer safe for Claire to watch the news feeds, dominated by executions. It’s no longer safe for humanity to remain neutral. And it’s definitely a horrible idea to infiltrate Faal’s estate to save Akemi… but that’s the plan. Don’t miss the conclusion to the Alien Cadet series, a sweeping space opera of political intrigue, romance, and sacrifice.

When orphaned siblings Andra and Grunge are abducted from the landfill site they call home, they are pressed into service on the HMS Ghandi with three teenage aliens where they form a surrogate family in an unfair universe. PARTY OF FIVE meets GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY....a love letter to space faring #ScienceFiction. Highest Science Fiction Ranking: #1 (that was a pretty awesome day!!!) I wrote STELLAR OBJECTS to explore the nature of family, through the lens of science fiction genre. It combines everything I love about scifi, drama, coming of age, and attempts to push the boundaries of (intergalactic) diversity and the very essence of inclusivity. I'm a published author and I shared this book with a handful of publishers, one of whom called it "too diverse." Somewhat in anger, and also in protest, I decided to share it with the wattpad community and I've been thrilled that it's found a global readership here. This is an unedited book, so comments are welcome, as are constructive criticisms. I hope you love reading STELLAR OBJECTS as much as I loved writing it. Namaste, Jeff

After discovering two aliens trying to milk a cow in his Grandfather's barn, fourteen year old Luke Summers is abducted. Scared out of his wits, he soon discovers that the aliens, Simon and Leonidas, aren't planning to probe him... huge relief. Instead, after injecting Luke with nano-translators so he can understand them, they tell him that his parents, both astronauts who were pronounced dead during a failed mission to Mars, are still alive... and they need his help to rescue them from an evil spider-alien dictator named Drac Moor. There's just one itsy bitsy catch. Luke will first need to be "reconditioned" so that he can withstand the harsh alien atmospheres that he'll be subjected to. Oh... and it's probably going to hurt a little. Follow along as Luke stumbles through one disaster after another, in an attempt to pull off a daring prison break and free his parents before it's too late.
