"No battle plan ever lasts past the first engagement" as the old soldier's saying goes, but this one has gone completely to the dogs of war. When a disabled ship comes crashing down to the planet they're fighting over and all officers are called back for rescue, leaving the soldiers to hold the line until the ship smashes down on top of them, one platoon sargeant makes a hard decision to honor his fallen soldiers.

Project Relia: Project Relia: Ashes of Ordessa
Project Relia has been completely re-written, thanks to experience I've gained over the past few years. I hope you give it another read, and let me know what you think. WARNING If this was a movie, it would be rated R for language and depictions of violence. This is a story about a military officer, who loses everything, to a enemy attack on his world. This story is a ongoing process, and edits likely will be made to earlier chapters. Please forgive the roughness of the story. I do not have a editor or a proofreader.Complete

Fire Flyers: Wings of Passion
The year is 2045. In order to train the next generation of air force pilots, countries around the world have turned air combat into a school sport, officially naming it "Fire Flight". Simply put, a fire flight is a simulated air combat scenario, be it air-to-air or air-to-surface, using dummy munitions to score hits on air/surface targets. It's been 2 decades since the sport was created and some of the best pilots in the world were molded from fire flight. The best pilots usually came from the best schools which had a lot of money to provide the best equipment possible. However, the same cannot be said about the lesser fortunate schools. All schools, rich or poor, have to pay for all the equipment (aircraft, dummy munitions, etc.) themselves. Meaning the rich schools usually were able to afford the best tech while middle and low class schools had to settle for hand-me-downs or worse. Kevin McNamara is an autistic senior in the backwater high school of Monarca High, Monarca, California. He will join the "Monarca Kestrels" fire flight squadron and fill the spot of Kristopher Kestrel, who tragically died in an aircraft collision earlier in the year. He will have to get antiquated with his teammates who are still recovering from Kristopher's death. As a flight of three jets, all of which are relics of the distant past, they will have to work together as they fight above their weight class in almost every match they enter. Kevin will have to experience grief, romance, and the harshness of gatekeeping on top of all the usual stresses of a fighter pilot if he wants his team to become the best fire flyers in the America.Complete
