On a bomb-threatened Spaceport hovering above Earth, Dorothea arrives from Mars with an expiring passport. Her credentials are bad, her memory poor, and her cat already shuttled along with her luggage. Dorothea is at a loss. Spaceport Security takes control, hauling the questionable traveler into the one interrogation stranger than the other. Without sufficient information, suspicions suddenly snowball.  Accusations blow out of proportion, and a bomb is not the only thing threatening to explode. Spaceport personnel take sides, Dorothea finds allies, and the tables of the corrupt Spaceport are suddenly turned.

The Uncitizen's Ship | a sci-fi comedy by afkopp

When a supposed flapjack destroys Jekkh's planet, she relocates to a whole new system to start a new life. But after discovering her planet's long-lost artifact, Jekkh must step into a role she feels unfit for and unite her scattered people across the system. When her assigned bodyguard and some doctor's godniece help her escape, Jekkh is thrust into a whole new world of conspiracy, space travel, and helping the ones in need. Camrun knew he'd never be accepted into the Persythian military even before he got the memo. Struggling to keep his family from being cast off into the deadly gas giant they live on, Camrun must find a way to provide for his family when his father and brother are serving over-systems for their planet. But when a rare opportunity arises to work for the planet's ruling circle, the Deins, Camrun gets thrust into a circle of secrets, espionage, and a possible rebellion. As he continues working to save his family, Camrun soon discovers that it is quite possible that his planet was on the wrong side all along. A campy adventure for all ages. Space hobbits and a quest for redemption of people and culture.

The Rebuilding {Completed} by Skier767

A trouble maker is caught doing her schemes and gets sent to jail with a 20 year sentence. One day, a man offered her a way out only if she does something in return. Travel to other galaxies to discover if there's life outside of Earth and she must do it alone. Takes place in the far future.

Displaced by cloudsriser

Chevelle Donahue thought going into work would be just like any other boring day at the mall. Sure, there was her annoying co-worker Wicken Sanders, and a promotional visit from teen heartthrob Timber Hudson, to watch and keep her entertained. But who was she kidding? Working retail was lame no matter what happened. A terrorist attack changes everything - an attack from aliens of all things. The patrons are given two options: comply or else. Complying means giving in to a new set of rules and changing her entire life. "Or else" means she has no chance of going home again. She must figure out the truth behind why the aliens are holding everyone hostage. In doing so, she risks her chance at freedom - but by the time she learns what's really happening, she might not want it.

Ezra's First by al3x4ntr4

Ezra thought his grades would get him posted to a place in the Navy that reflected his ability, something like First Fleet, the Raiding Nine, or even Home Guard. Humanity's enemy the Preshk where attacking more often and Ezra wanted to be contributing directly to the war effort. Instead he got put on a Scout ship with just one other soul and sent on a five month mission out into deep space. The mission quickly becomes more than the young commander could have ever expected and the fate of humanity lies in how fast he can return back to humanity. This short story is just over 18,000 words and contains sexual content between two men, so If that's not your cup of tea.. don't read :) This is my first attempt at something like this, so feedback is welcome, though be nice :)

Inevitable Ascension by vkmcallister

***Completed*** If you knew your world would soon be torched to carbon, would you fight to save it? ...Or light a match of your own? Violina, a girl polarized by love and loathing, finds herself thrown into a post-apocalyptic world with mankind on the brink of extinction. Discovering the means to travel back in time, she teams up with the ever-optimistic, pun-loving Lux and sets out to prevent the apocalypse from ever happening in the first place. But as her crusade advances, she becomes increasingly disturbed by humanity's apparent *lack* of humanity and comes to a frightening realization: To build a new world, she must first tear the old one down. Inevitable Ascension-The twisted jigsaw puzzle of a story with equal parts rapid-fire action, humor and charm. It's got a host of twists that will literally make your brain explode! Actually not literally, you know, because otherwise that would be really gross. Who is V.K. McAllister? We're a husband/wife duo (Andrew and Sasha McAllister) with a unique approach to writing. We work simultaneously and in secret before combining what we come up with, resulting in dramatic and unexpected twists that surprise even us! Crazy? Yes, yes it is, but it's surprisingly fun and effective. :) We pretty much live for the Inevitable Ascension series and did just about everything ourselves-the writing, the editing, the publishing, the art (well, Andrew did the art, but Sasha provided invaluable consulting when it came to eyebrows), the audio book, the trailer-everything. We're basically a one-man band, except with two people... and no music... so perhaps not the best metaphor, but we're confident you get what we mean. Check out the trailer and art at www.inevitableascension.com :)

The Inner Ring (gxg) by Loiosh

A hasty mission is planned to capitalize on the discovery before anyone else, but can the crew survive together for a 10 year mission? Love, anger, jealousy, anything is possible in deep space. If you're looking for more gxg books, there are several here on this profile, so by all means go check out: A Rock and a Heart Place (Mature) Full Circle (Not Mature) To Those Who Wait (Mature) Dead Men's Bells (Mature)

OBLITERATE- The Ring of fire by KenR_7

It's the end. Obliteration. It came out obvious with Martians starting to act like jerks, but what Destiny did not know was that she was involved in stopping it and causing it. Talk about double acting. There were other things she did not know before she laid foot on the school with the rickety old gate. She didn't know everything about her life was a big, fat lie. She didn't know her parents were criminals. She didn't know that her planet was crawling with tomato addicts. At least one. Most of all, she didn't know that she was going to be leaving the school because of a cannibal attack. Now, she and her sister have to set off 'into the goddamned wilderness' with the most annoying, charming blond upstart, a peppermint addicted Mars Man who's absolutely legit and a red-headed girl. But things get way more worse when her sister gets kidnapped by the Martians. With dozens of people dead and her own life in danger, will she possibly choose to take a risk with a problem involving her known family and two separate planets?

CANAISIS ∞ Chronicle One: The Last Living Ship ∞ 1: A New Mission by -NikaRave-

Volume 1 of CANAISIS ∞ The Last Living Ship trilogy (Chronicles of Canaisis 1) Can a ship, born to sail the ocean of stars to ensure Humankind's survival, save her Captain from the void within his own heart? ∞ ∞ ∞ Canaisis is the last of her kind, a Living Ship forged with Mankind's most advanced technology and artificial intelligence. Together with her Captain, she sails the cold, dark void between stars at multiple times the speed of light-to ensure Humanity's survival. As Canaisis agrees to carry a corporation's entire personelle to their new colony planet, Captain Gareth Levant finds his solitude interrupted by a new culture and a woman whose Gift threatens to unlock the pain caged within his heart. A pain he's carried since before the day he first launched... centuries ago. As if that is not enough, something about Earth's Citizens sanctioning the corporation's relocation rings falsely with undertones that has Captain Levant on edge. He will do anything to keep his ship and passengers safe. Captain Levant loves his ship, as any good captain does since the beginning of time-whether with wind, sail and ocean waves as in the days of old, or in the vast depths of space. But if Canaisis were able to return that love, could it burn bright enough to light the way through the void within the Captain's own heart? Or does it require the Gift of human touch? ∞ ∞ ∞ By @kemorgan65 and @RavenRock2112 ∞ ∞ ∞ A prequel to the pre-story of #ShadowOfThePastTrilogy ∞ The Displaced. ∞ ∞ ∞ SEQUELS: Canaisis ∞ A Captain's Journey Canaisis ∞ A Shard Of Code ∞ ∞ ∞ REVIEW by @Ray_Of_Sunshine9 "...loved the overall themes within the story, and what it meant for me as a person - a mission of delivering hope and finding a new home. ... Engineering, technology...some very detailed information, ...it's done in a way that makes it easy for me to digest...accessible and patient, which I appreciate."

Madly by TessiaEliseKirkShaw

Space Adventure Romance (violent and erotic scenes within) An attempted hijacking results in the crew of a long distance cargo spaceship being reduced to two, Max, the ships engineer and France, the ships medical officer. Coming to the realisation that the ships efforts in smuggling refugees has been discovered and that the ship is now marked, being out of a job and afraid that sooner or later the two try to work out what to do next. They have to come to terms with their new situation and discovered feelings for each other. Like imagine Red Dwarf but if they gay and space travel is long AF and everyone is bored, depressed and horny. That's really what I'm trying for here.
