Obsidian by Movieandbooknerd

Davis Russell is offered a chance to join an expedition to research a theory he has had for many years. The theory has gotten him laughed out of most circles within the scientific community, however, a stranger shows up rehashing a fury within that Davis thought was gone long ago. Reluctantly accepting an offer from the man on behalf of a conglomerate corporation that represents everything he stands against, Davis decides to use this opportunity to prove his idea that we are not alone in the solar system. In fact, if Davis is correct, he may find out that we are not currently alone on the planet. The issue is...if he can prove it, then what can he do to stop it?

Unbounded by andrew_nesser

In the future, clouds of microscopic probes are launched at near-light-speed from Earth to nearby star systems. After transmitting their findings back to Earth, a starship ferries thousands of colonists to a new world. But the manned expedition finds something very different from what the probes promised. Now, while struggling to fit in with a crew of scientists, ship's clerk Ryder Kask works to uncover the growing mysteries surrounding their mission.

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.

Twin Earth by LEccleston

Tom, a disgraced scientist forced to resign from the UK space agency, is unexpectedly invited back to help investigate an unusual anomaly that has appeared just past the moon, When the investigation is taken over and suddenly labelled top secret, Tom and his team decide to go undercover and utilise the expertise of a rogue NASA scientist and a tech billionaire with the help of his father, which leads him and fellow science student Rachel into space to investigate. What they find not only threatens the future of Earth, but also unlocks unimaginable secrets that no-one could have predicted.

Runaway World by IanReeve216

During the final decades of the twenty first century, a rogue brown dwarf star passed through the solar system and its gravity threw the Earth out of orbit around the sun. Two hundred years later, when the atmosphere has finished freezing onto the surface, explorers from the last refuge of humanity venture out to see what's become of their world. Things looks bleak. Mankind faces a future of huddling in whatever warm refuges it can make for itself until the Earth's core goes cold, but then a discovery is made. An opportunity exists for mankind to leave the planet and find its destiny among the stars, but to do so requires an all or nothing gamble and losing would mean the end of the human race. Some want to take the gamble. Others don't, and so conflict and violence breaks out as the survey teams explore a planet transformed out of all recognition...

The crew of the renamed Star Scout Ship INDEPENDENCE decide enough is enough and now it seems the whole universe wants them dead. Too bad for the universe they souped up their boat and picked up a peculiar hitchhiker along the way...
