✺❂The Dreams Of A United Human Race, Shattered❂✺
Year 2318.
The human race is so powerful it extended its reaches to the vast expanses of space to the farthest reaches of the galaxy... but at the same time, it is fragile within. Countries still exist, their power-hungry leaders waging war against each other, destroying multiple star systems at a time.
Only Planet Earth, the root planet of the human race was united, but this time the people of Earth must make a huge decision -- the galactic superpower Aksillet Empire wants them to join the empire... or be annihilated by the FLaw, a planet destroyer superweapon that was the prestige of the empire for years.
The people of Earth seek peace, but they had to go to war to protect their freedom, and while the Aksillet Empire launched a massive attack on Earth, Earthlings Devan and Ell were sent to disarm the FLaw and prevent the destruction of their planet.
But little did they know that Rendall, the Supreme Leader of the Aksillet Empire had motives of his own...

THE END OF WAR (Watty Award Winner)
A secret program in the United States seeks to replace human militaries with artificial intelligence-driven machines, but the machines aren't so willing to play along. *** Picture a world where humans no longer fight wars. No more families missing loved ones. No more veterans with lifelong mental and physical scars. No more conscription. For the super-secret End of War Project inside the United States government, such a reality is already here. The project models out how artificial intelligence can overcome dangerous and morally sensitive war scenarios with algorithms and automation. The centerpieces are "autonomous combat machines," or ACMs, that look like humans but function like supercomputers. After a string of brilliant successes in the field of combat, the End of War Project is preparing to reveal itself to the public, but something unusual stands in the way. Against their programming, the ACMs start exhibiting all-too-human signs of apprehension, guilt and compassion as they're pushed to perform ever more extreme tasks. The human leaders of the End of War Project race to find who "hacked" the ACMs, but what they find is even more startling--and revealing--than they could ever imagine. ***2019 Watty Award Winner - Science Fiction***Complete
The Abyss of Time
Twenty years after the end of the Cyborg War, the last cyborgs try to hijack a starship on its way to terraform an alien world. They want the new colony to be a cyborg colony in which they will rebuild their strength and practice their way of life. During the fighting, though, the starship is damaged, so that instead of travelling light years across space it ends up a billion years in the future, alongside a planet Earth that is near the end of its life. The cyborgs, momentarily defeated, leave the ship in a captured landing craft and go down to the planet, but before they go they sabotage the ship so that it is no longer able to support life. The crew have no choice but to follow them down to the planet where they have to fight not just the cyborgs but also forms of life a billion years more evolved than humans. Creatures that have grown tough and hardy in an attempt to cope with the increasingly harsh conditions that prevail there. As if things weren't bad enough, there is conflict among the ship's crew as they fight to decide which of them will be in charge and how they will meet the challenges facing them, and even if they survive all this they will still have to deal with the discovery of the ultimate fate that awaits all intelligent life in the universe...Complete
How to Become Godlike
The distant future. The war between androids and humanity has recently ended. The humans barely won, losing many technologies. A little time has passed, and a new threat has emerged. The emperor of one of the empires wants to enslave everyone, and the Republic of free planets is forced to enter the war. The Republic's scientists invent a new engine, but it needs a lot of gold. One of the ships of the free planets goes to a newly discovered, backward planet. It is inhabited by humans, but communication with other planets has long been lost, and the people have slipped into a feudal-slave system. The scientists on the ship can't directly show their presence because of the rules and decide to turn some crew members into gods so they can collect gold. But first, the scientists decide to organize a rebellion on the planet. The godlike have to face many difficulties.
THE COLONIZER
PROLOGUE: The Fall of Home Earth- Year 2198 They said Earth would last forever. They said we were the masters of progress. They said extinction was a myth. They were wrong. The oceans had dried into salt plains. The air stung like acid. Forests had withered into skeletons, and cities turned into burial grounds. Humanity didn't die in one big war or one great famine - it died slowly, with every deal made for oil, every tree cut for comfort, every voice silenced for profit. The wealthy fled first. Private spaceports. Silent launches. They left promises behind, along with everyone who couldn't afford to follow. Then came the Exodus Project. A final mission, funded by the remaining world powers, to carry 100,000 chosen survivors beyond the stars - to Virelia, a distant, life-rich planet in the Epsilon Hydrae system. A new Earth. They called the ship The Colonizer. Not The Explorer. Not The Peacebringer. The Colonizer. It was never about living in harmony. It was always about ownership. I was one of the few who stayed. Not by choice. I watched the last shuttle rise into the ash-gray sky. I watched my home become a graveyard. And I made a vow: If they reach that new world and repeat the same sins - If they burn another paradise for power - Then I will stop them. Even if I have to follow them across the galaxy. Because humanity doesn't need a second chance. It needs a reckoning.Complete
Runaway World
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...Complete
TerraSync
A wormhole had appeared near our solar system. From it came a signal - strong, deliberate, and unnerving. It was unlike anything humanity had encountered. Governments around the world watched in alarm. Scientists from every continent raced to decode the message, working day and night. Satellites scanned the sky. Observatories analysed every particle. Entire nations held their breath. Weeks passed in tense anticipation. Finally, the signal was broken. And what it said chilled every soul who read it: "Attack. Attack. Attack..." Panic spread like wildfire across every continent. Governments around the world tightened their armies. Citizens lived in constant fear. In the United States, the government refused to sit idle. They form an alliance with Ryze Corporation to develop a solution - a weapon unlike any before. A biotechnological weapon capable of granting humans chance to against something that they barely understood. The project was classified, secret, and urgent. Scientists worked around the clock. Failures were common, and risks were deadly. Yet, hope persisted. And thus, in the shadow of panic and fear, the TerraSync Project was born - humanity's first true line of defence against a universe that had just declared war.

When Empires Meet
The world is rapidly changing. On Earth, geopolitical tensions rise to a breaking point, with nations poised on the edge of catastrophic conflict. But far beyond the planet's atmosphere, a different war rages-one that spans the vastness of space. In the depths of the galaxy, two great powers collide in a brutal, unending war. Their fleets clash in distant systems and barren asteroid fields, fighting for dominance over resources and territory. This is a war of empires, driven by ambition and desperation, where survival comes at a cost few can bear. For now, Earth's struggles and the galactic conflict remain separate, their paths unknowingly intertwined. But the threads of fate are drawing tighter, and the actions of soldiers, leaders, and nations on both sides are on a collision course. When these two worlds meet, the consequences will reshape not just one, but the future of all. "When Empires Meet" is a sweeping tale of ambition, survival, and the interwoven destinies of two wars waged across vastly different scales. As the battles rage on, the choices made in the heat of conflict will echo far beyond the battlefield-binding two worlds together in ways no one could have imagined.
