Insect War Chronicles is a gritty science-fiction war saga set in a shattered paradise where one-inch-tall survivors-Tinylings-fight for survival inside a sealed dome built on lies. After teenager Beau Danning accidentally cracks the dome's boundary and uncovers the truth about the world beyond, his actions trigger a catastrophic insect invasion led by intelligent, organized mantids under the ruthless General Karakis. Forced into leadership far too young, Beau and his allies-engineers, medics, pilots, and militia-must improvise weapons from scavenged human technology, wage brutal miniature warfare, and confront impossible moral choices as their safe haven collapses into open war. As the conflict escalates from survival skirmishes to full-scale military operations, the series explores leadership, sacrifice, and the cost of truth in a world where humans are no longer the apex species.

Within days, Oliver and a woman he barely knows are ripped from their lives and strapped to examination tables inside a featureless white chamber.

Together, they begin mapping the patterns of their prison, looking for cracks in a system built by something far more advanced than anything on Earth. Then a voice appears inside Oliver's mind. It calls itself Shadow. It claims to be a fragment of something their captors tried to destroy. It offers knowledge, perception, and a way out. But freedom has a price. And Shadow isn't telling him everything. Set in Central Europe, Xenoforming is a grounded first contact story about ordinary people pushed past every limit they thought they had.
