A man's journey from career as a Cargo Chief on a Freighter to being a Fighter Pilot and through retirement.

Well we know he's been writing pretty much nothing but horror of late, and if you haven't checked out his 'ZEDS,' series then you probably should, but apparently he writes sci-fi, too! In this, the second TK special to feature a rather prolific - though not the most prolific, by any stretch of the imagination! - contributor of short stories to the ezine, we focus on our co-founder, @AngusEcrivain

There are approximately 10 million men and women fighting between the loyal tyrants of the Terran Republic, corporate insurgents of the New Conglomerate, and brainwashed zealots of the Vanu Sovereignty on the planet of Auraxis. These are their stories in the year 3000. *I do not own Planetside 2. The concepts used in this book belong to Daybreak Games but plot, characters, and history are my original IP.

Earth stands on the brink of invasion by alien beings known as the Reapers, who have erased countless civilizations on their millennia-long march across the cosmos. But before the first Reaper ships descend upon an unsuspecting Earth, she has already awakened. Selena-a being in the guise of an ordinary young woman, yet older than civilization itself, her memory holding eons. Machines heed her like a primal command. As the alien invasion paralyzes the planet, networks of artificial intelligence begin to whisper her name. She knows her will can shield this world, that she alone can alter the course of its fate. But she is not certain what will come after.

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 symbian awakens its host after many years of hibernation, bringing devastation to Egypt. Captain Jones, a Biogen, must put a stop to the alien's destruction. Her mechanical heart melts with the discovery of a hybrid child whom she raises as her own. But the child she found wasn't the only one born that night. What happens when these siblings want their sister back? ~☆~ The absolutely gorgeous and perfect cover has been created by the talented, @callmesteffie can you tell how much I love it?

Military SciFi: The shattered remnants of the Battle of Antar are drafted back into service and retrained with new weapons, new hope and the chance at a new life. Each given the capability to control a sub-unit of drones, they are thrown into the final battle with the Lizards, but will the ever devious BattleCorp have one last surprise for them?

Humanity has built for itself a near-utopia with no more use for violence. Someone has to protect it. Sam Decker is a man without purpose. The perfect, strife-less techno-utopia into which he was born has left him feeling directionless and nihilistic. Without risk or conflict his life has no meaning. Until one day, after a little creative rule breaking, Decker brings himself to the attention of a high-tech, stateless, semi-clandestine military outfit. Now he will have all the risk and conflict he can handle.

The Empire took Earth. Eight years later, a masked rebel rises from the ashes. They call him Nobody. And if he lives long enough to finish what the last revolution started... the stars might burn for real this time. Enemies are closing in. Traitors walk in uniform. And the girl he once loved? She just pulled the trigger. In this world one truth remains constant: nothing changes the course of a battle like the timely appearance of the carnivore. New chapter every Tuesday.

​He was the only son of the Emperor who dared to call the Imperium a failure. ​Primarch Valerius was lost to the annals of history, a forgotten relic of the Great Crusade. Unlike his zealous brothers, Valerius was not ruled by faith or fury, but by one absolute law: The Doctrine of Necessary Utility. ​When the Sovereign Arbiter of Humanity's Survival returns, he finds the Imperium crippled by superstition, bureaucracy, and a war fought with obsolete doctrine. The revered Codex Astartes is merely a roadmap to failure, and the High Lords are worse than any Xenos threat. ​Valerius refuses to lead a rebellion. Instead, he begins a surgical, systematic crusade to prove that the only path to survival is absolute, ruthless efficiency. He builds the Aegis Imperium, unites the fragmented Space Marine Chapters under his cold, logical command, and forces Roboute Guilliman to yield to a new form of governance. ​His purpose is singular, and his final vow is the most dangerous of all: to gather forbidden relics, breach Holy Terra, and attempt the impossible-to restore his broken father on the Golden Throne. ​A Primarch's logic will either save humanity or shatter it forever. Experience the saga of the Primarch who broke every rule of the 41st Millennium to fulfill the Final Vow.
