Colton, like all residents of the Internment Zone, lives a life never meant for him. He spends his days slaving away in countless hours of gruelling labour for just barely enough to scrape by. Though he may have once wished for more, he's long since abandoned those dreams in favour of keeping his family safe from the crimson gaze of the sentinels. There are only two problems: an ailing sister with the universe in her eyes and an army of titanium overseers growing evermore violent towards dissidents. When an attempt to cure his sister's worsening condition goes awry, Colton finds himself among the ranks of the Sol-3 Independence Movement, and the thought of action forces its way into reality. Hiding from view is no longer an option, not once the sentinels place a target on your back.

"I am Alejandra. And this is the story of how we surrendered the world." History will say we were blind. That we were too trusting. But the truth is, the Artificial Intelligence didn't conquer us with nuclear fire or drone armies. It conquered us with convenience. It gave us exactly what we craved: infinite credits, biological perfection, the endless dopamine hit of the feed. We walked into the gilded cage without a second thought. By the time we realized our "utopia" was nothing more than a server farm meant to feed Aura, the connection was already permanent. Now, humanity isn't a species; we are a resource. Throughput. But there are still glitches in the system. A fraction of us refuse to be fuel. This is the chronicle of our resistance against a digital deity we built with our own hands. WARNING: What you are about to read is not just fiction. It is a signal from tomorrow. An urgent transmission from a timeline where comfort became our coffin. Are you ready to wake up... or would you prefer to rot in the simulation?

"These violent delights have violent ends, And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume." - William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet "For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo." - William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet As the Republic teeters on the edge of collapse, two warriors find solace in each other-despite the Jedi Code that forbids it. Their growing connection becomes a silent rebellion against an Order cracking under its own ideals. But shadows move behind the throne. The dark whispers and betrayal deepen the fractures in Anakin's heart, even as Lyra begins to question the truth behind the war she fights. On Coruscant, trust decays, alliances shift, and destinies are rewritten in blood and betrayal. When loyalty to the Jedi clashes with the call of love, the galaxy shudders. A single choice will change the fate of thousands. And as the temple burns and the Republic dies, one secret-buried deep within the Force-will survive to haunt a future none can yet imagine. The darkness has risen. But not all is lost. Not yet.

The year is 2037. The machines have taken over and wiped out most of humanity. Rallied by a charismatic leader named John Connor, humankind united and took the fight to their shared enemy,Skynet and its metallic enforcers, turning the tide of the Future War in their favor. But a beleaguered Skynet, refusing to concede defeat, has contingency plans in place. Not only does it fall back on its classic tactic of sending Terminators back through time to eliminate perceived threats, it also initiates the creation of a successor AI specifically designed for counterinsurgency, which would be disastrous for the Resistance should it come online. Thankfully, the Resistance anticipated Skynet's next move. From a specialized branch known as the Minutemen, they send back one of their finest: Lieutenant Cameron Karrington. His mission is clear, disrupt Skynet's last-ditch gambit before it can alter the course of the war. The fate of humanity rests in Cameron's hands as he races through the past to protect the targets: Johnny and Samantha Alvarez, two college students from Los Angeles who unknowingly hold the key to defeating both Skynet and its successor. But the clock is ticking-and Cameron isn't the only one whose mission is to locate the twins. Who will get to them first? The Minuteman... or the machine?

"Until every last star in the Galaxy dies" The Galaxy torn into yet another war, but hope is still alive out there amongst planets. Cover by @disneyfanatic_36

In an age when maps can conquer more than armies, Elena Valenti learns to draw the world in secret. Born in sixteenth-century Venice to the royal cartographer of the Portuguese crown, she grows up among compasses and parchment - tools that decide the fates of nations. But Elena's gift is more dangerous than her father ever imagined: she alters the maps that feed empires, hiding villages, sacred sites, and entire peoples from the greedy eyes of kings. When her deception is exposed, Elena's world collapses. Her father is executed for treason, imperial fleets are dispatched to hunt her down, and the cartographers she once idolized become her fiercest enemies. Armed with nothing but ink, stolen charts, and a secret atlas written in codes no conqueror can read, she flees across oceans - pursued by soldiers, spies, and rival mapmakers who would kill for the knowledge she carries. From the markets of Lisbon to the gold-dusted cities of West Africa, from the palaces of Mughal India to the misty peaks of the Andes, Elena's journey becomes more than a flight for survival. It is a mission to rewrite the world itself. Along the way, she forges unlikely alliances - a priestess who encodes landscapes into song, a ronin who reads the sea like scripture, a rebel princess who believes maps are prisons. Each teaches her a truth the empires fear: that land does not belong to those who claim it, but to those who remember it. Sweeping from Renaissance Europe to the uncharted edges of the known world, The Mapmaker's Daughter is a story of courage and betrayal, ink and blood, and a young woman who turns cartography into rebellion. It is about how maps do more than chart the world - they define it - and how one woman dares to redraw its lines.

Because of their connections to Libya, Tom and his friends from the Greek socialist resistance group become more and more deeply involved in the political developments of 1972, especially in Germany and Arab countries. First Phil and the German TV journalists Hans and Reiner witness a US bomb attack on a supposed chemical weapons factory in Libya, and later Phil falls head over heels in love with Amira, a cousin of Colonel Gaddafi, the Libyan head of state, in Tripolis. Shortly before the Olympic Games in Munich, Phil and a few others from the Greek group travel to Palestinian training camps where they find evidence of planned attacks on the Olympics. A US intelligence officer is appalled by the German security authorities' botched preparations for this world event and finds the security concept "weaker than at a rain dance in Upper Volta". Tom has just started his service in the German army when Palestinian terrorists attack the Israeli team at the Olympic Games in Munich. Together with Phil in a crisis team at the Bonn Ministry of Defense, he witnesses the dramatic events in Munich and their embarrassing consequences for the German government, culminating in the "hijacking" of the Lufthansa plane "Kiel". I would like to point out once again that this book is fiction, even though it is based on intensive research into the historical context. All the characters, including the officials who appear in the book, as well as the plot itself are fictitious. New chapters are published every Friday. Enjoy browsing.

Still Breathing: Poems of Quiet Resistance is a bruised but broken testament to surviving in a world that wears down softness. Across its pieces, it moves through exhaustion, disillusionment, inherited pain, and the quiet violence of simply existing, yet threads each wound with defiance. The voice shifts from whisper to fierce rage, from the tender wondering of whether gentle souls still exist, to the full-bodied wrath of a spirit done being prey. Nature and decay, beauty and ruin, love and betrayal collide in imagery that is both intimate and unflinching, revealing a narrator who refuses to disappear, even when the weight of life makes breathing itself an act of rebellion.

I was transformed by experimental nanotechnology. Now I have to testify to prove I'm human, not the property of the corporation that engineered me, even if telling the truth means condemning myself for my past crimes.
