Earth lies in ruins after the war which truly was to end all wars.
All those who could afford it, fled the planet into the grand void.
Those who could not and were still lucky enough to survive holed up in the few somewhat habitable areas left on the planet.
One day however, salvation came from the stars, as the Asmodei descended upon the ruined earth, bearing promises of a new world for mankind to thrive on.
A fresh start, to make up for the follies of the past.
But nothing works out quite as advertised, does it?

Mother Sun
It should have heralded the dawn of a new age. A future that would see the human race reach out and then stride among the stars. But a conspiracy hundreds of years in the making comes to fruition at the beginning of humankind's greatest achievement, and its greatest failure. For the fifteen thousand occupants of the decommissioned space station, Sekai No Mirai, and its commander, Shani Akinye, the point where everything ends for humanity is the point where the fight for survival begins. Lost, stranded, millions of light years from Earth, the crew and the people of Mirai station must fight to return home against ever-increasing odds against them and, in the process, save the enemy that brought disaster to the Earth. An SF epic in the vein of Battlestar Galactica, Space:1999 and The Expanse, from Wattys 2021 winner, Jan Karlsson. (Cover created in Canva, using a stock picture manipulated using AI)Complete

I'll Be There For You
Earth is no longer the only planet inhabiting living creatures. In fact, Earth is now the weakest of the bunch. With creatures who have the world in their hands to beings who have knowledge far greater than any human, the universe is perhaps becoming too small for everyone. But who would have thought that the fate of three of the most important races will fall with a bunch of misfits. These kids face adversaries far greater than imagined in an unknown era, an unknown time and perhaps, in an unknown universe.Complete
Humanity Endures
Desperation, ideals, greed, and hope - they all have a role to play in tearing the galaxy apart. The human race finds itself at the precipice; a mysterious, monstrous force threatens everything in the cosmos, and all the while, the unity of humanity's Empire threatens to shatter just when it is needed most. Never before has extinction been so tangible a possibility, and never before has exceptional courage, intellect, and luck been more needed. This is a story about more than just people, their ambitions, and their conflicts: it is a story about crisis, set in a universe where survival, for any side, and for anyone, may be impossible. It remains to be seen if the popular patriotic saying, "Humanity endures," will remain true - even for a week. -- If you wish you purchase a paperback version of this novel, you can do so on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Humanity-Endures-Evan-Peter-Armstrong/dp/B08P8QK86H.

Samantha can't dream anymore, she is apart of the cause to save the human race. The year is B35 and the Earth is becoming overpopulated every day. The governments have combined forces to try to find a solution before Earth is too crowded.

Until scientists found a planet only couple light years away that is a sister planet to Earth. No one has ever been on this planet before and is unsure what will people find there. So on the year B18, all children born within that year were taken from their families and sent into a spaceship to be trained and prepared for the landing of this new planet. Samantha and her squad are flying through space and preparing themselves both mentally and physically for the adventures of this new planet. No one knows what is going to happen when the spaceship lands on this foreign land.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
