Battles of Shataran is the first novel of the Millenium of Discovery franchise. 2627. Kasar Musk has found a new habitable planet where life might be thrilling, but it looks like it is still not civilized enough for human standards. Is today's humanity uncivilized? Why are our expectations so much higher than what we see today? Back in 1980, we imagined ourselves in the 21st century as a futuristic civilization that conquers planets. The reality is that we struggle to pay the electricity bills. "Just use solar panels!" Why is scientific progress so slow nowadays? We, Humans, have brilliant minds that can create so much! Why aren't we already on Mars? Economy. Why did our economy slow down in the last century? Discrimination. The USA hated the USSR, and viceversa. White people despised black people and asian people. Even though the main conflict is over, there's still tension between the former enemies. What would aliens that are just slightly more advanced than us say, if they came and saw a civilization not controlled by the smartest individuals, instead being ruled by some people who are just more convincing? If they saw that we despise each other just because an external trait is different? This book imagines us as more advanced beings, having gotten over our differences, visiting a planet where races of different color have the strongest hatred for each other and constantly fight. The Shataranjans, as they are defined by Elon Musk's successor and his colleague, are somewhat a depiction of racist beings that hate any living being which is not like them. Kasar and Eduard have made a mistake visiting the planet Shataran, as its main inhabitants aren't ready for interplanetary contact yet. Just like they can't join the United Civilization Alliance, we can't be visited by aliens to be introduced to their culture and technology, until we get over all of our differences and become a complete, solid union of a civilization from an average planet in the Milky Way Galaxy.

It consumed the sanity of an entire country... And it was not from this world. It couldn't have been. Whatever caused the incident known as "The Red Christmas" drove Venezuela into madness. Even ten years since it happened, none of the survivors of that night dare to attempt to make sense of it all, including Adam. Living ostracized to hide from the brutal way of life in Caracas, he's working tirelessly as an online writer to help his brother and sister flee the country. Now, as he's about to have enough money to take them to safety, he receives an email from his old girlfriend ... which is remarkable, considering she's been presumed dead for years. Adam tries to think nothing of the email or the broken video file attached to it. He convinces himself that it has to be a computer virus of some kind until he discovers something terrifying: the video might link his sister to the worst night of his life, the night his girlfriend went missing, the night of "The Red Christmas". Then he realizes this could be a threat; his sister's life could be in danger. As he starts to investigate who sent the video, Adam begins to uncover dark truths about his neighbors and finds evidence that there might be a larger conspiracy at play. The problem is that he's starting to suffer from hellish hallucinations that make him question what is real. Soon, the only clear thing to him is that someone doesn't want him to dig up the past. Will Adam be able to stay sane long enough to find out what really happened the night of "The Red Christmas"? Will he succeed in helping his family escape the country?

En route to an urgent humanitarian mission, the U.S.S. Enterprise D stumbles upon a strange sight; a blue, wooden box stranded in the middle of Federation territory, motionless and without power. Its occupant, a strange, seemingly British chap stranded in a universe that is not its own. The challenge to the Enterprise's crew seems straightforward enough; learn if this strange occupant is really who and what he claims to be. But for the Doctor, the questions he face are far more troubling... and, should he find the answers he seeks, he may well wish he hadn't.
