Volume 1 of CANAISIS ∞ The Last Living Ship trilogy (Chronicles of Canaisis 1) Can a ship, born to sail the ocean of stars to ensure Humankind's survival, save her Captain from the void within his own heart? ∞ ∞ ∞ Canaisis is the last of her kind, a Living Ship forged with Mankind's most advanced technology and artificial intelligence. Together with her Captain, she sails the cold, dark void between stars at multiple times the speed of light-to ensure Humanity's survival. As Canaisis agrees to carry a corporation's entire personelle to their new colony planet, Captain Gareth Levant finds his solitude interrupted by a new culture and a woman whose Gift threatens to unlock the pain caged within his heart. A pain he's carried since before the day he first launched... centuries ago. As if that is not enough, something about Earth's Citizens sanctioning the corporation's relocation rings falsely with undertones that has Captain Levant on edge. He will do anything to keep his ship and passengers safe. Captain Levant loves his ship, as any good captain does since the beginning of time-whether with wind, sail and ocean waves as in the days of old, or in the vast depths of space. But if Canaisis were able to return that love, could it burn bright enough to light the way through the void within the Captain's own heart? Or does it require the Gift of human touch? ∞ ∞ ∞ By @kemorgan65 and @RavenRock2112 ∞ ∞ ∞ A prequel to the pre-story of #ShadowOfThePastTrilogy ∞ The Displaced. ∞ ∞ ∞ SEQUELS: Canaisis ∞ A Captain's Journey Canaisis ∞ A Shard Of Code ∞ ∞ ∞ REVIEW by @Ray_Of_Sunshine9 "...loved the overall themes within the story, and what it meant for me as a person - a mission of delivering hope and finding a new home. ...

2081. In a sinister world where human survival hinges on biotechnology, an oblivious sixteen-year-old possesses the one code to undo it all. Can she survive the devious world designed to eliminate anything - anyone - out of the ordinary before it's too late? Mia Love is nothing extraordinary. Just another teenager who wants to please her mother, make snide comments, and become an artist - if it's not too much to ask. But in her rigid, military world, she must do as everyone does; attend the stupid graduation camp that will assign her a boring job. One night, she wakes to a voice telling her to 'Get out. Run'. Moments later, in an eerie midnight camp gathering, she's trapped amid chaos -- bloodied and fighting for her life - when the harmless teens turns on one another; school against school, student against student. Mia survives with the help of her combat-trained best friend, Nate, only to be chased through the dangerous woods by the armed military. Her bio-nanotechnology chooses that moment to glitch, but Mia is determined to solve the mystery. Why on earth did the students turn on one another? Who warned her beforehand? How? If she can survive the night, she might find answers. *** WATTY 2021 SCI-FI WINNER. Featured on: - @action - Thriller [Content warning: This story contains themes of bullying and violence.]

In a Futurist-Victorian London, Ex-Carnie Victor Hart makes his living as a dinner party entertainer and mountebank, using the skills taught to him by his Romani mother – the Patterns. When tragedy strikes a wealthy friend, Victor Hart puts his skills to use in an alternative manner. This Steampunk London has its fair share of psychos, sickos, and sadists, and it takes a special kind of mind to hunt them. Victor sees human behaviour in a way few others can understand but only as an outsider; certain parts of his humanity are missing and that disturbs him. As he solves each seemingly unrelated case, a dark pattern slowly begins to reveal itself threatening the heart of the British Empire and even what we feel makes us human. A Steampunk-detective-noir, darker than most, the first volume features four thrilling cases; the first novel in a Duology.

Nathan Colt is not on Mars to build a new life. He's come to here for one reason only-to find his cousin Noah and bring him home. Noah travelled to Mars seeking adventure and opportunity. But two years later, he's vanished without a trace. Colt has thirty days before the planetary alignment closes the door home for the next eighteen months. Mars is a dangerous frontier, idealistic settlers mixing uneasily with ruthless opportunists. Following Noah's fading trail north along a route locals grimly call "The Widow's Road," Colt discovers unsettling truths: idealistic colonies disappearing overnight, settlers missing without explanation, and rumours of something hidden deep within the Martian wilderness. When Colt rescues desperate settlers only to be betrayed, he finds himself forced into survival mode, fighting off corporate mercenaries, bandits-and Mars itself. Time is running out. Colt must uncover the truth and find Noah-dead or alive. On Mars, everyone is a potential victim-and Colt might already be too late.

What happens when you experience something that brings into question all you know about the world in which you live? Something that eats away at the already-frayed notions many of us have about what is true and what is not true? About what is possible and what is impossible? For Alice Caitlyn (Kate Johnson what was), the past year already had delivered a healthy dose of body blows. One would have thought a chance encounter with a handsome schoolmate from years gone by would have augured well for things to come. But when was Fate ever so easy or so generous? This is a story about the world in which we live and how we come to know it and to understand it. It's a story about chance and circumstance, one that might even be a little funny. (But let's not get too carried away on that note.) Most important, it's a story about friendship and love, those two states the absence of which make life and its vagaries scarce worth pondering.
