In a year's time, Ada's memory will be gone. It's a small price she's willing to pay for the chance to change the Terran's world that's connected to hers. Although they share many things, like tree to tree, and the minerals inside the earth both utilize. However, that balance is not always respected. Like the oils that form the seas and lakes of Gaia are drilled and used by Terra. Exponential growth for resources in Terra drive countless changes to her world. Most are ignored. Gaia's politics believe in peace and understanding, and believe that all things will eventually return to the normal..... Unless it's lost in the void between their worlds. When a tragedy caused by Terra befalls Ada, it brings her to the point of facing the void itself. With nothing to lose, she sets her eyes on the Terran world. A year might not be enough time to change their minds, but it's all she's granted and she's determined to make a difference. One way, or another. Highest ranking: #665 in science Fiction 12/17/17 #30 in satire 5/31/2018 Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Although its form is a satire of modern society, the events that transpire are fictional and the imagination of the author. As far as the author knows, there are no beings that live in the center of the earth, and so the opinions expressed by the characters should not be confused with those of the author's. Certain long-standing institutions, business, and public figures may be named, but their interactions and context are entirely fictional.

Nobody said Rock Hauling would be easy. Throughout settled space, terraforming is the fuel that drives the interstellar economy. For some worlds, this is easy. For others, lacking resources, or on the periphery, this is an unattainable dream. Through the eyes of workers, astronauts and intellectuals, Sunlight's Edge follows an attempt to revitalize the crumbled terraforming project of the barren, poverty-stricken and resource-poor planet of Tylo. To carry this out, the beggared planetary government has commissioned the crew of the aging, if powerful asteroid-cracker Caroline Rowland to make the three-month journey to a distant asteroid belt and tug a selected asteroid back into orbit for conversion into a space station. This is difficult enough by itself, but located in a strategic demilitarized zone between two rival interstellar hegemons, Tylo and it's project may be the flashpoint for a conflict of apocalyptic proportions, with the Caroline Rowland and her crew as the spark that lights the tinder. This is the debut novella for the world of Starpiercer, a planned series of novels set in the 200-world region of Solace with accompanying illustrations, sketches, maps, technical details and more. Read along to meet alien species, experience real and speculative technologies, and follow a sprawling interconnected narrative over multiple novels and multiple series, with fully realized histories, culture groups, physics, biology, anthropology and thousands of pages of worldbuilding. This story has been fully written, and more sections will be published daily, hourly, or in other chunks.
