Pax, a detective-pilot in the far future grappling with a tormented past clouded by amnesia. As she confronts the enigma of her own memories, Pax becomes entangled in a series of disasters, mysteries, and mind-bending theories revolving around time travel and its cosmic implications. The narrative unfolds as a journey of self-discovery, where Pax unravels the secrets of her past and grapples with the profound consequences of manipulating time on a cosmic scale. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The crystals shimmered and reflected the light, dancing around, and in the darkness, a fluorescent star map surrounded them. It was something she had never seen before, and the fatigue left her mind as she raced down the stone platforms to the bottom of the path to see everything closer. It was a magical spectacle. You could almost forget which way was up and which was down. "The chemical processes that created this cave were truly..." Jason started when he finally caught up with her, but she interrupted him. "Truly amazing. Yes, I know. Stop talking." And he did, although Pax was sure he was smiling under the helmet. Yes, you have done it. The inside of hers changed to a full natural view, no graphs, no sensor readings. Just what her eyes would normally see. And it was beautiful. They moved deeper into the labyrinth guided only by the lanterns and curiosity. Pax couldn't contain hers and strode from the path more than once. The crystalline structures enticed her; it was so surreal, she wanted to touch them, to make sure it's all real. Jason waited, giving her space and time she needed. Only once he mentioned the road. His argument about air supply made her laugh; they still had 10 hours. She could quite possibly stay here this long though." -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has been hundreds of thousands of years since The Void, the largest black hole the Seven Planets of Zero have encountered, has traveled back deep into the bowels of space and the Titans who used to inhabit The Seven have been gone for generations. In their place are people, humans, like you and me. Some of these humans still retain some residual magic from the sun Helios, and most are placed into positions of power once their magic is discovered. With shifting alliances and distrust, the leaders on these planets fight and war with each other as any society would when there is a desire for power. Over the last few years, the invasions from the darkness of The Void have begun to increase in both ferocity, volume, and frequency. Obsidian, the current ruler over Corvus Corax with strong Void magic flowing through his veins, has requested assistance from across the galaxy for increased defensive measures, but they've all been dealing with their own issues and threats that no amount of training could have prepared them for. Across the Zero Galaxy, the rulers and people with the most power are about to be knee-deep in troubles and issues that will alter the fate of not only their planet, but the entire galaxy. Only time can tell what The Seven Planets of Zero's fate will be. The Seven Planets of Zero is a new sci-fi odyssey of fantasy, Greek mythology, interplanetary politics, and medieval kingdoms.
