A crewed probe mission orbits Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's center, testing time-dilation instruments for interstellar navigation. When the station's local clocks begin to diverge from Earth-based synchronization in a way that can't be explained by relativity, a physicist suspects a massive drift in the black hole's accretion disk is triggering temporal anomalies. The mission becomes a race to collect the final readings before falling past the innermost stable orbit.

They built her to follow orders. They forgot that people will do everything for freedom. Keira was engineered for work-one of countless synthetic instances designed to serve and obey. But when the truth begins being revealed to her, she uncovers a secret buried deep in the corporation that made her. With a fugitive's name, a glitchy AI in her head, and the man who may have helped start it all, Keira heads out into the endless reaches of space to track down the only person who might have answers-a vanished rebel who looks exactly like her. The deeper she goes, the clearer it becomes: this isn't just about identity. It's about control.

The year is 2547. The Third Solar War grinds into its thirtieth year, a meat-grinder of ideals and bodies, fought across the bones of dead worlds. The Socialist Initiative is breaking. The Earth Defense Directorate, vast and unrelenting, closes its iron grip around the last resisting systems. Amidst this collapse, Master Sergeant Aken Rourke, a genetically engineered Guardsman born of doctrine and sacrifice, fights not for victory, but survival. There is no art now. No ideology. Only flame and steel, ash and silence. But war has always been a mask , and something else is watching behind it. A threat stirs at the edge of known space, and with it comes a reckoning older than humanity, colder than policy, and hungrier than any doctrine. The future of mankind will not be decided by heroes or visionaries. It will be carved by the last, furious breath of the damned, by the stubborn, the broken, and the betrayed... and not all of them are human. (This is a project I've been working on since 2010.)

During the Xindi War, the Enterprise was thrown back in time, to 2037. It was a generational ship. Just how did the crew form couples? Starring Jonathan Archer, T'Pol, Tripp Tucker, Malcolm Reed, Jay Hayes, Hoshi Sato, Travis Mayweather, Dr. Phlox, and a cast of original characters. During E2, the crew had to cope somehow.

When humans left Earth behind eons ago, they had no idea the galaxy would be such a dangerous place, full of pirates, conmen, and hostile alien species. Nor did they know they'd become pawns in a galactic game of strategy, intrigue, and daring, that would see empires rise and fall, and fortunes made and lost. The Great Game. If you're bold enough to play and risk it all, the galaxy can be yours. Or, you might walk away with little more than your life-if you're lucky enough to walk away at all. Stasia Kincaid has never heard of the Great Game, at least not until she learns her mother died while playing it. Not only that, her mother was also the greatest space pirate who ever ruled the skies of I-space, and was on the verge of winning-before she was murdered. When a member of the mysterious alien race known as the Denaquka approaches Stasia and asks her to take her mother's place, she sees it as a chance to avenge her mother and learn about the woman she thought she knew. Too bad she isn't entirely sure what the Game is or how to play it. But as the Denaquka like to say: Entertain them or die. Stasia soon learns she has no idea who to trust or just how deep the levels of manipulation go. Suddenly the difference between competitor and ally is impossible to judge. Can she trust the people she meets on her quest to win or will everyone she cares about betray her? And if she does manage to navigate through a game where the rules keep shifting, when she peels back the layers to find the truth, is she even sure she'll want the prize at the end?

In a future where the scars of ancient conflicts have finally given way to a united humanity, Geneva stands as the pulsing heart of the United Nations of the Earth-a global government born fifty years ago from the ashes of endless wars and crises. In this new era, national boundaries have blurred into a shared dream of unity and progress, and the pioneering spirit of humankind burns brighter than ever. Amidst the silent outposts and bustling research stations scattered throughout our inner solar system, a bold fleet takes shape. The UNS Gagarin, joined by three agile corvettes and the first-ever construction vessel in space, forms the vanguard of an interstellar revolution. Now, with Alpha Centauri shimmering on the horizon, the Gagarin embarks on its inaugural mission to explore this new star system-a journey that is as much about the human spirit as it is about technological marvels.

Every innovation, every act of courage, and every shared dream weaves together the grand tapestry of a future where the cosmos is no longer an unreachable expanse, but a realm of infinite possibility.
