Following the catastrophic events of the Great Cosmic Revocation, that being the return to the Teshiwahurian Homeworld of all Naval Space forces from assignments in the World-Father's far-flung galactic empire, Mune'stahr and Pylott, separated from their naval units, are wrenched from the dimensions of normal Einsteinian SpaceTime to the bizarre cosmic corridor between dimensions known as "The Ventriculum". During a dangerous time of violent internal strife within the World-Father's crumbling interplanetary empire, the two space-armored SpecOps Troop veterans become biologically-bonded with a gigantic, sentient, alien ship called "The Glide", a spherical vessel that follows the programming of its own governing artificial intelligence, known as "Neesharim", on a mysterious mission to police the interdimensional gateways against sorcerers, alien dictators and their armies, space demons and other non-human threats scheming to enslave the Multiverse. Marooned in a colossal, intelligent shiftship that traverses a seemingly endless, omnidirectional fractal metaflow between universes, Mune'stahr and Pylott fight for ultimate Justice and for the control their own fates..." ********************************************************************************* Cover Art by the legendary John Conrad Berkey, copyright © John Berkey / www. johnberkey. com

Following humanity's disastrous discovery of sentient extraterrestrial life, and with public opinion rapidly moving towards blaming the "aggressive nature" of Naval High Command as being the reason why first contact with an alien culture resulted in hundreds of deaths, the former cadets of Flight Methuselah are given shore leave while the INS Heinlein is stripped of her University Frigate designation and outfitted as the warship she was originally meant to be. Taking on a complete crew and the final phase of the Navy's long-range fighter experiment, Project Baskerville, the Heinlein's first objective as part of the active fleet is set just a day after Methuselah settles in for their vacation when another alien ship appears on the fringes of explored space and ambushes the Tiaha Migrant Fleet, birthplace of one of their own. With little time to recover from their own losses, the new marines of Flight Methuselah head back into space to escort the Tiaha fleet to the Lalande Repair Yards in Colonial territory, discovering along the way that not all of humanity was as unaware of the existence of the incursion aliens as they had once believed. INCURSION VECTOR is the sequel to CADET FLIGHT METHUSELAH. Currently updating on Mondays.

Like a phoenix, they arose. From the ashes of a world burnt by massive nuclear holocaust and frozen by a millennia of nuclear winter. They are the Fisted Races and they struggle against the tattered remnant of Humanity for what little resources are left on a battered Earth. Ryon, Tigris, Kanid and Pantor; all equally powerful in skill and cunning. And in their hatred of the human race that nearly destroyed the world with the Great Burn. But now an even greater power in the south was rising that threatened Fisted and Humans alike. Could they somehow put the bloodshed and horror of their history behind them and stand together against it? Because if they didn't, not only would Humanity and the Fisted die, but so would every living thing on the planet!

An ancient alien relic is found by an asteroid mining crew, which turns out to be much more than just a strange black opaque cube. Logan, brother to one of the miners, is whisked away along with several other specialists to work on a secret project. Under the watchful eyes of their personal Security Special Forces agents, Logan and colleagues begin to become suspicious behind the motives of the Jackson-Stone Corp. Jackson-Stone Corp. is the largest company in the world. With two space elevators, the company monopolized space trade, mining, zero-G tech development and many other facets of the worlds economy. The company even controlled the government of New Congo. When the power of the cube is harnessed, will it be used for good or will greed turn humanity down a dangerous path? This is a working rough draft of my first novel, i would appreciate any feedback that anyone is willing to give. I have not yet finished the novel, so some parts will be more polished than others. Thank you.

A small UN military force sent to settle a colony world's unrest discovers their mission is only deep cover for their true assignment: a task that will set the course of mankind's future--and might just touch off an apocalyptic world war on Earth. When Major Katherine Colston assumed command of mankind's first interstellar peacekeeping mission--leading a small UN squad on an assignment to stabilize a colony planet 's smoldering civil war--she knew it would be a career-defining event. Thirty years accumulated pay and interest just sweetened the pot. She didn't want to question the wisdom of sending a team over ten light years to intervene in a conflict that would probably be decided long before they arrived; she he just wanted the command. Badly. But when her dying intel liaison reveals to her the real reason behind the expedition, Katherine is forced to assume responsibility for the success or failure of a vastly different mission--a mission whose outcome will profoundly shape the future of the human race. "Dropzone" is a bit of a fun seat-of-the-pants writing experiment by a meticulous outliner. I love space opera, and decided to write the first draft of a military sci-fi themed space opera here on Wattpad. I'll be uploading a 2 to 4,000 word chapter about once a week; feedback, comments, suggestions, observations welcome--anything to help shape the novel into a stronger story--is greatly appreciated.
