What would it take for you to give up everything you know and cross 500 years worth of the blackness of space to settle on a new, uninhabited planet? The search of adventure? The promise of a better life? The promise of a hefty salary right now? Or the chance to reinvent yourself completely? Earth's first colony ship, the Neo Kosmo, is set to depart with 10,000 passengers and crew: ordinary people on an extraordinary journey. Along with facing the unique challenges of settling a new planet, everyone on board must fight against their own fears in order to make sense of their new lives. This anthology explores their stories: the challenges, decisions, victories, and failures that mark the beginning of their new lives.

It is the year 2094. Earth is on the brink of collapse. Humanity's only chance of survival is to relocate to the alien planet Kentauri. When the Kentauri declared war, Earth created the Galactic Army, a military force specialized for combat in space with the sole purpose of defeating the Kentauri. Ryan wakes up the day of his recruitment test with perplexing visions filling his mind. His day only gets stranger as he recalls people he's never met and places he's never visited. On the pilot simulation, he does brilliantly, despite having close to no training. The army marks it down as talent - Ryan isn't so sure. As Ryan grows in the Galactic Army, he pieces together his visions and memories to find that he holds secrets that could unravel both worlds. Time is running out, and Ryan must walk a delicate balance between truth and lies if he is to survive and protect the ones he loves. ~ Cover by the wonderful kimunkur!

A secret war. An empire in crisis. One final hope for victory. Wil Sietinen is driven by duty. Second-in-line to a preeminent family dynasty, the young noble would rather design starships than plot political schemes or battle strategies. But when Wil is kidnapped by a mysterious alien enemy, he discovers that a brutal interstellar war has been covertly waging for centuries-and only his unique telekinetic powers can end the conflict. Learning that he's the genetic endgame of a generations-long plan to win the war, Wil grapples with his daunting responsibility to become a leader with the skills needed for a decisive military victory. But when he realizes that the enemy isn't who he's been led to believe, Wil faces an impossible moral dilemma as the fate of two civilizations hangs in the balance. Caught between ruthless adversaries and unsure who to trust, can Wil build the right alliances to secure his galactic empire's future? This timeless space opera epic with adventure, telekinetic abilities, coming-of-age, romance, and intrigue will appeal to fans of Star Wars, Anne McCaffrey, Frank Herbert's Dune, and the Lensman series by E.E. "Doc" Smith. Join three generations of the Sietinen family as they challenge destiny to win a war and lead a revolution that will change the course of an empire.
