Taemi was never meant to be understood. A world of endless ocean. A narrow band of twilight where life clings to existence. And something else - something hidden behind the storm, beyond the horizon. When a new mission arrives, it isn't exploration anymore. It's damage control. Because the first mission didn't just fail. It disappeared. A standalone story set in the Taemi universe - no prior reading required. If you're curious about what happened to the first mission, you can read the prequel named Сerulean horizon on Amazon

Facts, opportunities, and souls, all lit by the cold bright sun of 2234. Welcome to the World of 2234.

Seven years ago, a laboratory in the Cumbrian uplands was erased from the map. The official report called it a tragic accident-a gas leak that claimed eleven lives. But for those who survived, the truth is far more terrifying, and the official narrative is beginning to fracture. Now, in 2031, the Quantum Time Research Facility has been built over the ruins of the old site and was designed to contain the impossible, THE TIME CUBE. But the Cube-the anomalous heart of the facility-defies containment. It does not merely exist in space; it exerts a predatory pressure on the fabric of time itself, once again. Arhaan, a brilliant researcher, is pushed to the limit as he begins to see things that shouldn't exist: echoes of people who died, and versions of himself from lives he never lived. Alongside his colleague Kira, he uncovers a terrifying secret hidden in the facility's logs. In the silent corridors of the QTRF, reality is no longer a singular path, but a collapsing wave function. As the field strength intensifies, the boundary between the observed and the observer begins to dissolve. The scientists within the facility are no longer just studying a phenomenon-they are becoming part of its architecture. In this high-stakes game of quantum survival, identity is a fluctuating variable, and the cost of stability is higher than anyone dared to calculate. The clock is ticking. The timelines are crossing. And the Cube is always watching..

Captain Zhuo Yichen leads a high-stakes mission to the mysterious X-9 black hole, only to discover a haunting SOS signal coming from the Event Horizon. It is the Wandering Star-his father's long-lost ship-trapped in a place where time stands still. Caught between rigid protocols and a desperate rescue, Yichen must rely on Zhu Yan, a brilliant scientist whose sharp wit and unspoken loyalty are the only things keeping the Captain grounded. As the crew of the Kunlun-1 dives into the abyss, they face a terrifying reality: in the heart of a black hole, the only thing stronger than gravity is the bond between them. One impossible rescue. Two hearts against the void. Welcome to the Event Horizon. .........✦............🕳️............✦.........

Before the stars, before the galaxies, there was only the Singularity. One pulse changed everything. Follow a journey into the heart of the Big Bang, where the laws of physics are the only key to survival.

A battle rages above Greivstor, ships in constant combat. One pilot crashes to the planet's surface, and ends up joining the ground crew. He soon makes a discovery, one which changes his views of why the ruins of an ancient civilisation are the target of Celestria's newest military direction. CELESTRIA PHASE: 1

Earth has fallen. When the planet crosses its final climate tipping point, temperatures rise, crops fail, and billions are forced onto the move. Diplomacy gives way to ultimatums, then to war. From unassuming laboratories to streets drowning in heat and hunger, a fractured world stumbles toward its final reckoning. As famine and conflict spread, international order dissolves into violence and blame, and armies march north through ruins chasing a future that no longer exists. Yet amid the despair, a radical plan takes shape to move a fragment of humanity to the red sands of Mars. As Earth burns and the heavens fill with refugees, one truth becomes unavoidable: the future belongs only to those willing to sacrifice everything. In the chaos of the apocalypse, a new kind of security service is needed to enforce order where nations have failed. From the ashes of Old Earth, the Sunguard rises. Scorched Earth is a sweeping hard-science epic about collapse, survival, and the cost of choosing a future when the present is already lost.

Dr. Hiroto Ito has a terrifying theory: loneliness is physics, written into the very code of existence. Not psychological. To prove it, he builds a wormhole to the Big Bang. But the chronometric stabilizer is failing, threatening to erase the present. By sheer luck-or is it luck?-he finds a Shingon monk revealing to him the universe's original password, which permits him to travel to the dawn of creation. Ito expects a god. Instead, he finds a suicide note. Now he knows why the cosmos is silent, why we scan the stars and hear nothing. We are not abandoned. We are the reason. And the truth will consume him.

Space is vast, and the Hauler is alone. It is a kilometers-long train of supplies, but it has been off course for years. Its lone inhabitant used to get transmissions from Earth, but eventually, even those stopped. An occasional visitor might be nice.

Beyond Time is a series of stories which I hope to assemble into a full book once finished. A story about human nature and condition, technological progress and the future. The series includes technologies and subjects theorized by scientists and brought to life in a believable and existential fashion. Beyond Time acts as a protest against current Sci-Fi trends, signifying a return to the more classical works of writers such as Arthur C. Clarke.

Earth is a world of injustice, everybody knows that. Evil goes unpunished, good goes unrewarded, but there is an end to the torment. The moment is rare, but points of beauty do exist, and are to be treasured and cherished. The Earth is clothed in a putrescent cloud as a consequence to mankind's actions, and firestorms tear with the force of a nuclear bomb. Humanity lives in domes: bubbles blown in bedrock, and conditions are dismal. On other planets, the grass is far from greener. Society is coming back from a period of friction, kept under the thumbs of tyrannic regimes. Mars and Earth are kept under the thumb of tyrannic regimes.

A mysterious object falls to Earth. It does nothing. For a hundred years. No signals. No movement. No answers. Then... it wakes. What follows is not an invasion- but something far more unsettling. A first contact that challenges survival, trust, and what it truly means to coexist. Because the real question is not: "What is Mrock?" But- why did it wait?

Specialist astronaut Evelyn Slater encounters a small, badly damaged, ancient alien artefact on the first ever space-junk elimination mission. Where was it from? Who'd sent it?

The year is 2117. For former ASTRA Captain Ethan Holt, the brutal war on Mars was supposed to be the end of his story in the stars. Now, years later, he lives a quiet life, haunted by the ghosts of his past and the sacrifices of his elite military unit. But the silence of deep space is about to be broken. NASA, in a desperate bid to uncover the fate of its pioneering Endurance Program-humanity's first audacious step beyond Mars-reactivates Holt. Two previous missions to Saturn's enigmatic moon, Titan, have vanished without a trace. Now, Endurance-3, a high-stakes rescue operation, is being launched. The lure? A faint, inexplicable distress beacon from Titan, impossibly bearing the bio-signature of a man Ethan believed long dead: his former commander, Reyes. Pulled from his self-imposed exile, Ethan must lead a new, uneasy crew: a brilliant scientist with her own Martian secrets, a bitter rival from his ASTRA days still carrying the scars of war, and an untested rookie facing his first plunge into the void. Their journey aboard the advanced starship Dauntless will test their limits as they navigate the solar system, from the red plains of Mars to the awe-inspiring storms of Jupiter, before finally confronting the methane-choked, frozen enigma of Titan. What truly awaits them on this desolate moon, where two crews have already met their silent end? Is the beacon a genuine call for help, or something far more sinister? Dive into Endurance-3, a grounded, hard science fiction adventure set in the distant future that emphasizes emotional storytelling and a deep respect for real science. Experience a cinematic journey to the edge of the unknown, where the greatest dangers are not just the hostile environments, but the memories we carry and the choices we make when facing the impossible.

A discredited biologist joins the fight to keep Earth safe when aliens reveal the shocking origins of mankind ... and their evil intentions are uncovered. Dr Toby Jardine's much-derided theory of 'Intelligent Design' is proven correct when he takes part in a clandestine meeting with extra-terrestrials. The encounter aboard the USA's Orbital Construction Facility results in a sensational disclosure; an ancient race of highly intelligent super-rodents played God to create and exploit life on Earth as a food source. With Darwinism debunked and the world's religions undermined, the danger of worldwide upheaval is extreme. A worried US President decides the revelations, and the very existence of the aliens must be kept secret at all costs. But when Toby discovers the seemingly benign visitors have an evil ulterior motive for their visit, he and his colleagues are forced to take drastic action. The unarmed team on the facility must find a way to eliminate the threat while maintaining complete secrecy ... or risk plunging the population of Earth into chaos.
