He arrives home from a routine business trip to find dead members of an ancient human cult called The Maxists littering his moon. Vaughn goes on a quest to find out what happened.

There was a boy, in a cave...crystals were involved...it inspired me to start writing Crystal Guardian (then called Space Pirates - changed to avoid comparison to the children's show!) I'm a slow writer...I stop and start, and reedit. This novel looks nothing like the Space Pirates it came from! I didn't finish until I was 19. Before I started university to study writing...so it is flawed, but I look back on it fondly. Probably heavily inspired by Star Wars...oops.Complete

AN ADVENTURE OF AN NPC(Book 1 "Side Characters's Mission")
Behold! A new genre is coming: The stories of the technological downgrade. In the year 2041, an all-powerful alien civilization punished humankind for breaking Galactic Union law with a "downgrade." Human civilization was reset to the technological level of 1939, for a reason they never explained. "We live on a retro-Earth, technologically speaking. We ride vintage cars, fly vintage planes, work in vintage factories with vintage machines, and die from diseases that weren't curable back in 1939. And the damn Aliens, called the First Ones, never bothered to explain to Earthlings why they had been punished. Why? Because it's a part of the atonement to find out for ourselves!" This story follows Timm Thaler. His adoptive father from Japan named him after the protagonist of a well-known fantasy book and trained him for one single purpose: to solve this mystery and get human civilization progressing again. He is meant to break the chains that have held humanity back for two hundred years, locked in an endless 1939. But now his father has passed away, and Timm stands in a cemetery looking at his grave. On a distant planet, the mystery begins to unravel. The aliens have recreated a world from a famous human virtual game, populating it with the game's once-digital characters. They have given these synthetic beings-created by humans for entertainment-free will and real lives in the physical world. Despite his immense hatred for the aliens, who were responsible for the death of his parents as consequences of the regression, Timm Thaler agrees to take on a mission that might finally reveal the truth.

Max is just one of thousands of unwilling cyborgs sent home after the interstellar war. With the threat of recycling haunting her every move, she can't even touch the only bright spot in her life: strong, handsome Ethan. Love means nothing to a cyborg - they're not even human. The robotics makes them incapable of love. They can not marry. They cannot raise children. So why does Max's heart race when she meets Ethan again on the long journey home? Why does his forbidden touch feel so good, and set her blood burning? And why are so many cyborgs recycled when they are otherwise healthy and able to perform their work? With the strange alien Authorities watching every move, Max uncovers a conspiracy bigger than the war than enslaved her in the first place. To find an escape from the horrific nightmare that her transport spaceship home has become, Max must race to find the answers and save the people she cares about, before her world and everything she knows is lost to darkness. The Edge of Darkness was first published in 2011 and is available in complete e-book form and paperback on both Smashwords and Amazon.

Repopulating Uvis
Our planet had been on the way to destruction same as many others. However, we were able to turn it around but not without major irreversible genetic damage. It had been many years since a new female has been born on Uvis. We had set out and tried many other planets to find suitable breedable females. After much testing only one planet would work. Gaia or as the inhabitants called it Earth. We had been testing certain ones quietly. Working with their planet's leaders for a few years and have gotten the okay to reach out to the females of this planet. Everything was fine one day the next we kept losing power and then the announcements form the leaders and from an actual freaking alien! The offer was a good one for some, but could they be trusted? What would happen to the women who went to Uvis would they be treated well? Was it just a way to reduce the Earth's population so it was easier to take over? This is the same universe as Owned by them. New characters and a newer more civilized way of acquiring new females. This one is a bit more mature. I was writing this at the same time as the other. I have 23 chapters I am editingComplete
First to Rise (Excerpt)
The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react. (Book 2 LTF series) (CAN be read as a stand alone, but not recommended for nostalgia reasons~) (ps this is UNEDITED, grammar and spelling mistakes will ensue!)
