This thrilling military science fiction story will take you on a journey beyond the stars, where anything is possible and danger lurks around every corner.

Here a short Scifi story that asks the question 'What is the line between man (or woman) and machine?'

Three years ago, on the 3rd of March 2755, humanity was thrust into war with an alien race known as the "Hachurui". They are a reptilian race that have a mental prowess like never seen before, making them a worthy foe. Their speed and knowledge have caused humans to lose a total of 57 clusters, including our mother colony, out of a meagre 129 colonies, pre-war. This has pushed the humans back, but as always, we will prevail.

Capitolul I. "...pe Tellur am fost lămurit de un prieten. Am înțeles ce a zis abia după ce mi-a încărunțit barba. Oamenii pot fi împărțiți în patru categorii. Prima categorie de oameni sunt cei care caută și își doresc să aparțină lumii. Au învățat să o exploateze și și-au optimizat viața funcție de lume. În general, aceștia sunt oamenii obișnuiți. Sub aspect militar, sunt armatele naționale care caută să protejeze interesele banale ale oamenilor obișnuiți. A doua categorie este cea a "eroilor". Ei chiar cred că lumea merită salvată, așa că fac tot ce le stă în putință să o țină așa cum este sau așa cum a fost. Oamenii ăștia sunt mediatizați. Populari. Ei răspândesc boala toleranței și slăbiciunii, dar nu știu asta. Agenți ai puterii momentului. Militar, ei sunt soldații noilor corporații de securitate. Cei mai cunoscuți sunt Gardienii. Și eu am fost unul. Apoi ar mai fi altele mai mici, Consiliul Celor 15, Ultima Cruciadă...în fine. În a treia categorie sunt cei care vor să cucerească lumea și să o reconstruiască în viziunea lor. Cuceritori pentru ei, cotropitori pentru alții. Știm exemple. De la cel mai mărunt terorist la imperii precum Triumviratul și mai nou, Vozdayn. Au intenții bune, dar nu se dedică suficient. Apoi este a patra categorie. Ăștia sunt interesanți. Sunt cei care doresc ruinarea lumii. Fără milă. Fără iertare, nu mai este nimic de salvat. Tabula rasa, o luăm de la zero și învățăm din greșeli. Pentru mine, ăștia sunt adevărații eroi, pentru că sunt dispuși să sacrifice totul. Am și cunoscut unul. -Pe Caron? Da, l-ați mai pomenit. -Și știți interesele cui le reprezintă? -Mi-ați mai spus. -Vreau să aud că ați înțeles. - Ale Supraveghetorului și Legiunii Negre. -Ale lor, da." Fragment din singurul interviu al lui Amar Antinoman, dată și loc necunoscute.

A post apocalyptic nightmare tale of adversity, survival, and war. From the Novella Killing Cthulhu.

A tortured past, a strange addiction, and a secret identity. What will it take stop the nightmares? Son of the richest man in the galaxy, Dante Opulen has a colorful past. He's an award-winning holo-film star, a war hero, a husband and a father. Despite his success, Dante struggles with the nightmares of his past. To pass the sleepless nights, he's become a masked vigilante. He stalks the streets at night looking to scrub clean the human refuse that lurk in the shadows. And to aid in his pursuit he's become addicted to expensive surgical procedures that cybernetically enhance his abilities. How many implants will it take before he feels strong enough? How many criminals must he apprehend before the nightmares end? Is such a thing even possible? There's only one way to find out.

The world fell in spring. Not because of war - but spores. As a fungal infection spreads like wildfire, a girl named Mili may hold humanity's last chance. From Delhi to Ladakh, a team of survivors must protect her from the infected... and those who created them. Inspired by science. Driven by suspense. Born in fire. Read the outbreak as it unfolds - only on TheSpore_writer09.

Being a hero isn't easy, unless you're being blackmailed. Dante has the best cybernetic and genetic modifications money can buy. The problem is, he stole them from the owner of the largest bio-enhancement company in the human controlled galaxy, his father. When one of his father's research facilities start turning locals into violent mutants, Dante is coerced to clean up the mess. Assisted by a convict, an ex-cop, and a pyromaniac, Dante must fight his way through the research facility's automated defenses, survive the horde of monstrosities within, discover what caused the outbreak, and identify the traitor in his group before any one of those things kills him. How hard could it be?

Master Sergeant Gant Maker was a highly-decorated and well-respected Marine - until his last mission left him as the sole survivor of an encounter with a vicious race called the Vacra. Served up as a scapegoat and drummed out of the military, he has since lived a life of seclusion with only an adopted alien as a companion. Now the Vacra have returned. As the only person to have ever faced them and survived, Maker is reinstated in the Corps and given the onerous task of finding this enemy on a world located at the edge of known space. Assisting him is an unlikely band of military rejects, including a blind sharpshooter, an unstable psychic, and a genetically-engineered killing machine who refuses to fight. Given that the Vacra have superior weapons and technology, Maker recognizes that his team is at a distinct disadvantage. But Marines are nothing if not resourceful, and Maker has an audacious plan that just may level the playing field - if it doesn't get them all killed.

In a galaxy ruled by the oppressive Galactic Commonwealth, Captain Kell, a genetically engineered clone, is thrust into the heart of war and rebellion. Trained to be the perfect soldier yet denied true agency, he begins to question the system that created him. As the Commonwealth tightens its grip on newly conquered worlds, Kell and his fellow clones uncover the dark truth behind their existence-an expiration date enforced by their own leaders. Amidst betrayal, political intrigue, and an unexpected romance with a mysterious naval commander, Kell must decide: remain a pawn in the Commonwealth's war machine or rise up in a movement that could change the fate of the universe.

The year is 2187. Humanity has expanded across the stars after achieving faster-than-light space travel two centuries ago. But this new age of exploration came with new threats. A hostile alien armada emerged from the fringes of the Andromeda galaxy, bent on humanity's destruction. Led by the merciless Xa'an Overlord, the insectoid Xa'an fleet began a relentless invasion of human colonies across the Orion Spur. To combat this existential threat, Earth formed the United Earth Defense Corps - a coalition space navy representing all of humankind. Armed with state-of-the-art grav-tech ships and plasma weaponry, the UEDC fleet became humanity's shield against extinction. Among the Corps' heroic ranks is the legendary pilot, Captain Elian West. Known for his daring tactics and peerless skills, West inspires hope in the weary human forces after years of brutal space warfare. Under his leadership, the UEDC begins pushing the Xa'an invaders back towards their dark domain. The Xa'ans make a last desperate attempt to turn the tide by deploying their super mothership, the Hive, to lead a final extermination assault on Earth. West spearheads the epic Battle of the Milky Way, taking the fight directly to the Hive. After fierce fighting, the tides turn in humanity's favor as West's tactical brilliance overwhelms the Xa'an onslaught. Yet just as humanity tastes victory, the Hive launches a sinister failsafe, it appears to be a void capsule designed to tear open the fabric of space-time and consume Earth in a cataclysmic rift. With no options left, West heroically intercepts the capsule in his fighter, sacrificing himself as the rift envelops his ship and pulls him into the unknown. By vanishing into the rift, West saves his species from annihilation, to be forever remembered as humanity's savior. But unbeknownst to all, West's sacrifice sent him on a journey beyond imagination where he would become a legend reborn in the fantastical realm that lay beyond the void...

She is a brilliant hunter with a unique ability to anticipate her foe's next move and a growing awareness that she can interface with their few computers simply by touching them. When Kira is not keeping her clan fed, she yearns for a better life as she reads and rereads the books they have safeguarded for 165 years. Or she enjoys her parent's stories of their coming of age and falling in love. A maturing young woman, Kira is also falling in love and dreams of having her own family. But when there is no more game in the forest, and the aliens hunt Kira and her clan, she embarks on an increasingly reckless campaign to avenge her mounting personal losses. She forgets her beloved night sky and thoughts of rescue. In her isolation and grief, preparing for the last battle, Kira no longer wonders what is swirling in the stars above her.
