Pegasus (Farside Saga Book Two) by greencloud79

"Are we alone?" That question has finally been answered, but the answer was much more than they expected. Testing a new form of interstellar travel called a Stardrive, the NSA Impala was sent to explore Pre-alpha, a new solar system discovered along the sight line of Alpha Centauri. A slight malfunction sent them just outside the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy into dead space. Returning home, they ran into an alien race known as the Velcronians. What started off as a comical first contact, ended up with the Impala being snatched into the Farside Galaxy. Now stuck in the middle of a galactic war on the verge of spilling into the entire universe, the Impala must find a way to stop it and make it back home....before they no longer have a home to go back to.

Shadows over Menkalinan by MLListen

Kai Randal wants nothing more than to fly quietly, stay neutral, and keep his apprentice Parri out of trouble. But when a covert job in the Menkalinan system exposes them to a deadly secret-one older than any star chart-their quiet life fractures in an instant. A catastrophic test flight leaves dozens dead and one brilliant commander, Shreya Nova, desperate for the truth behind her husband's disappearance. Pulled together by disaster and circumstance, the three uncover evidence that the tragedy was no accident, and that someone powerful is willing to kill to keep the secret buried. Hunted, cornered, and caught between rival powers, Kai must rely on instincts honed over a lifetime in the cockpit, while Parri confronts dangers far beyond any training simulation. Shreya, armed with nothing but a broken heart and razor intelligence, finds herself caught in a conspiracy that could shift the balance between empires. The shadows gathering over Menkalinan are deep, and the truth hiding within them is older and far more dangerous than anyone imagined. The mission was supposed to be simple. Instead, it awakened something no one was prepared to face.

Ethan is propelled by the thrill of discovery but haunted by sorrow, as the team inches closer to unraveling the truth behind the enigmatic clouds-an achievement that could redefine humanity's understanding of the universe. As they gear up for their historic mission, the stakes rise, and the balance of fate teeters between tragedy and triumph. Embark on this captivating journey where a man's heart yearns for resolution, and the cosmos whispers secrets yet to be unveiled.
