    Preview prerelease of Chapters 1 - 6 • Hard SF first-contact thriller with techno-procedural suspense. A The Martian-grade craft meets Arrival-style rule puzzles; no hand-waving, crisp stakes, humane restraint. Perfect for readers of Watts, Crouch, Tchaikovsky, Weir; viewers drawn by Netflix's 3 Body Problem. Back of Book Copy: Far from Earth, a mining ship pings a ring that should be dead. It answers with headlines: markets that will crash; storms that will land; timers that do not miss. The rules are brutal and simple: output only; no queries; clocks are sovereign. When the first anchor reaches zero, the world proves the relay right. A joint task force locks the site. Custody passes to Daedalus. Mirrors roll. Hoods go up. Every word is logged. And then the relay prints a new line that turns procedure into a countdown no checklist can hold: CASUALTY IN ORBITAL INCIDENT IDENTIFIED: DR MARA VEGA. To save a life the crew cannot ask the system a single thing. To keep humanity calm they must remain boring while private actors, politics, and the sheer weight of truth press in. The Relay is a hard-science thriller about proof, restraint, and the cost of being first to hear the future. If the artefact only speaks in headlines, what do you risk to change the story.

    When the first ever space cruise ship completes its inaugural tour of the solar system, Bellatrix 'Bella' Starr will catch a ride back home that she'll never forget. The ship docks at its final destination, a space travel corporation's half-moon beach hotel orbiting the gas giant Neptune. But a virus transforms all but the immune into bloodthirsty living zombies. On the faster return trip, Bella Starr and a group of immune passengers must navigate the dark corridors of the ship and find a way to warn port officials of the impending apocalypse before they reach Earth, and if all possible, live long enough to see the planet they call home.

    On July 16, 1969 the US government added Section 1211 to Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations. This rule was commonly referred to as the Extra-Terrestrial Exposure Law. It allowed the US government to quarantine returning astronauts and their vehicles upon arrival to Earth. In 1977 the rule was revoked by NASA and formally removed from the Code of Federal Regulations in 1991. That was their first mistake. When it comes to space exploration, we didn't understand what we were doing. It was almost too late when we understood our reality. Now it's time to change it. Cover by @ diwatera

    Transmission Recovered: Astraeus Mission Log | Reality Breach Classified - Level 4 Year 2198. The vessel Astraeus was dispatched to the outer rim under false pretenses. Their true destination: the event horizon of a supermassive black hole. The mission fractured upon arrival. Time collapsed. Memories rewrote themselves. Something unknown observed them from a dimension outside causality. The crew reported hallucinations, temporal echoes, and shadow anomalies in the ship's core. Only fragments of their experience were transmitted. They were not the only version of themselves. The ship's AI, I.O.N., reconstructed their final moments-adapted into narrative format for human interpretation. What you're reading is not a log. It is a story. What they encountered beyond the fourth wall may not have been human. And it may not have stayed in their world. Proceed with caution. Filed from Sector 7-Gamma -The Dimensional Witness

    Planet Earth secretly and successfully made contact with the people of planet Pegasus in 1974. The humans never returned back to Earth. Era IV: Konquest & Fall (KG Forever Arc) Set during the Rain Man Necromancy War, ACHOO! chronicles a bio-ether pandemic unleashed by The Kreaper, a Devouriikin whose corrupted flesh becomes the source of an interplanetary infection. The virus spreads through breath and emotion - sneezing is both symptom and signal, marking those spiritually "infected" by guilt, grief, or Ether imbalance. Kahnu the Ech'Daari becomes the unlikely hero after discovering that his feline DNA resists the pathogen's mutation. With his plasma rifle "Cough Drop" and AI companion ZeeLuna, he hunts down The Kreaper across collapsing colonies. Along the way, Kahnu uncovers evidence of President I's biological warfare experiments under the UNITY regime - confirming that the outbreak was engineered to weaken the KRO Empire's control of the Southern Galaxy. The story culminates in Kahnu's brutal showdown with The Kreaper on the irradiated world of Throat, where he ultimately kills the Devouriikin, ending the plague but dooming himself to exposure. His death earns him martyr status among the Visionaries, and the phrase "Bless you, soldier" becomes an anthem of remembrance across the colonies. Chronological Placement: Occurs after Omega's Prison Break and Yondre's Revival, but before KG's Erasure and Kanpain's Blame. Major Appearances: Kahnu, The Kreaper, Omega (cameo), Rain Man (voice transmissions), President I, Zodiakin medics. Themes: Disease as divine punishment, corruption through grief, and redemption through sacrifice.
