SIREN is a novel about six people from around the world selected by the UN to investigate a strange musical transmission emanating from Neptune's orbit. They're given a spaceship with cutting edge technology, placed into an induced coma, and expected to report back in three years time. But when the awakened crew arrives at the origin of the transmission, their electronics malfunction and they're driven through the Kuiper Belt. With their engines ruined, oxygen supplies dwindling and one of the team members suffering from hypoxia, time is of the essence for the troubled squad. Their situation grows ever more tense when Tommy Fletcher discovers three alien ships watching their every move. Tommy Fletcher, the protagonist of SIREN, is the resident linguistics expert who over-thinks, second-guesses and has a habit of biting his nails. He may be in his late twenties, but Tommy's ceaseless trepidation makes the rest of the hardened crew feel like he's fragile and witless. Will the chaotic events happening around Tommy break his brittle will, or can he shed his hesitant demeanour and become a hero?

Six high school students. One impossible mission. And a power they never asked for... Kidnapped by the ruthless bio-terrorist group NEMESIS, the teens are exposed to a new element called Primonium-unlocking abilities only the rarest of humans, known as Primes, could possess. NEMESIS plans to unleash Primonium into the atmosphere, creating thousands of superhumans and reshaping society on their own twisted terms. Rescued by Atlas Corp., a private military organization dedicated to stopping NEMESIS, the six teens are thrust into a world of danger, espionage, and powers beyond their imagination. As new Primes, they must progress with their abilities, trust each other, and confront a rising threat that could kill millions. From high school parties to global battlefields, these six heroes must stop NEMESIS before the world changes forever. Evolution isn't a choice-it's a responsibility. And the clock is ticking. 🧬🧬🧬 Red Skies is a semi-grounded superhero story with some light progression elements. Think of it as Captain America meets X-Men meets Power Rangers meets My Hero Academia.

Bellerophon Zacharias Johnson, or "Z", as his friends call him, is the epitome of the word "normal". He's your typical average sixteen year-old. Well, except for the fact that he's the reincarnation of the mighty Greek god of the sky, Zeus. And when a prophecy states that a Titan and the Earth goddess are trying to destroy all of mankind, and that he's one of the only people that can stop them, his life couldn't get any crazier. But life has a way of proving people wrong, and Z is about to find out that when you're a Greek god, absolutely nothing is normal. Orion Rodriguez knows that being the sea god, Poseidon's reincarnation has its perks, and he's making the most out of his god-like abilities. He lives for things like surfing on tidal waves, swimming at freezing temperatures, and diving to bone-crushing depths, and the occasional monster that tries to kill him is merely an obstacle for him to accomplish his dreams. But when things begin to get serious and the entire world is at stake and his past comes back to haunt him, he has to protect what's most important to him, even if it costs him everything. Castor Dionne knows that he is a harbinger of death and destruction. He's the reincarnation of the feared king of death, Hades, after all. He's been an outcast for as long as he could remember. Hell, even when he was a god people avoided him like the plague. But what most people don't know is that he has lost almost everything he has ever held dear, so when Bellerophon Johnson asks Castor to join forces to save humanity, Castor sees this as his last opportunity to prove to the world-- and especially himself that he isn't cursed to kill everything he cares about. Join these teenaged heroes and their friends as they try to balance their adolescent lives, godhood, and their internal struggles while fighting against evils as old as time itself.

"His mother's screams remained etched in his mind. He promised himself that night he would never again stand by as people he cared for suffered, and he would one day kill Volcseck. He intended to keep those promises." Falcon Hyatt has a problem. For reasons unknown to him he can wield all the elements, not only basics like fire and water, but also those more advanced, like space and poison. And now the chaos element, the same one his parents' killer Shal-Volcseck wields, has awakened within him, with catastrophic results. To complicate matters, the Suteckh Empire has declared war on the capital cities of Va'siel. Now he must venture out into the world with his friends Lao, Faith, and Aya on a mission to stop the Suteckh from taking over Va'siel, and find his parents killer, as all the while he struggles to suppress his newfound abilities.

Is he truly a good person, or an even more dangerous menace than the dreaded Shal-Volcseck? Element Wielder is the story of faith, love, and a young man's struggle to continue on his quest, when surrendering to his emotions and giving up is so much easier.
