Seti, a humble civil servant at the Office of Information, is selected for an important mission to retrieve a cluster of 'fallen stars' with very special, and very secret, properties. 

But why has he -- ambitionless and without influence as he is -- been chosen? And just who wants these particular stars at all costs? 

As Seti becomes more and more involved in the machinations of shadowy figures, he realises he has his own personal mission to fulfil, and it has nothing to do with the one he was selected for. 

Distantly Falling Stars is punk genre thriller set in ancient Egypt following the 2019 Open Novella II prompt #2. (Wicked Meteors)

COVID-25 (Book 1 - The End of All Reigns) by garybedell

Covid-25. Engineered death. If the mutant virus is released as much as half the world's population may perish. All in the name of greed. ___________________ Fannie Carter, True Pharaoh and Defender of Ma'at, was the only person who stood in the way of an unfathomable global catastrophe. Her sudden assassination at the hands of the evil Consortium threatens the future of humankind. The fate of the world now rests on the shoulders of her grandson, Ryan. Only one problem. He doesn't even know she exists, anything about her remarkable powers or the enormous responsibilities that he will be asked to assume upon her death. Up until that moment, Ryan's greatest concern had been staying alive in Sullivan State Prison where he is serving a two year sentence for felony assault of a police officer. For the dedicated Servants of Ma'at, breaking their new Pharaoh out of jail is the very least of their problems. Will he accept his destiny? Can he stop the virus in time? A reluctant warrior against an evil Consortium bent on global domination at any price. An heir to a throne far more powerful than that of Saint Peter, hunted by a fanatical order of the Catholic Church determined to send him to hell. A former Assistant U.S. Attorney who must stand before the Gods and defend the human race against annihilation. A man in love who must sacrifice everything to save the world. Sometimes we ask more of our heroes than humanly possible.

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.
