Jabesh Grayson is a simple man trying to make a not-so-honest living in a harsh and unforgiving galaxy. He has smuggled for Boss Statham his entire life, but after a run goes bad he is given a choice: either take on a dangerous new job or lose everything. He and his crew must take a piece of precious cargo across the Damocles Gulf, a lawless sector of space filled with pirates and Imperial privateers, and deliver it to the waiting Damocles Empire, a race of aliens beyond the fringe of human space. The catch? Statham won't tell them what they're carrying. Worse yet, other entities have taken an interest in nabbing the enigmatic cargo for themselves. Can the diverse crew of the Chickadee escape the clutches of rival outlaws? And if the Human Empire gets involved, will they have any hope at all?

Devon Blake and the Starship Crash
DEVON BLAKE is a lonely boy of twelve, trapped in the lap of luxury with no one but his smart-luggage Sammy to share it with. He prepares for his summer trip, excited by the prospect of meeting new friends and sharing an adventure with them. The expedition to the lush planet Forrestal looks even more exciting to Devon when he meets some of his fellow travelers; Flim, an alien boy with chameleon-like powers, and Jacinda, a bright girl whose trip is paid for by the foundation Devon’s family owns. Becoming friends during the voyage to Forrestal, the trio learns to get along despite their diverse backgrounds. The trouble begins during the descent to the surface of Forrestal. Due to an unexplained atmospheric disturbance, the shuttle crashes, trapping all of the children and their injured guide on the surface with no way to contact the starship in orbit. Taking matters in hand, Devon, Flim, Jacinda and another new friend, Merrell, set out to investigate their situation. The unthinkable happens when a quake traps them outside of the shuttle and Flim goes missing. Setting off in search of their friend, Devon, Jacinda and Merrell encounter strange creatures that seem to be part of the forest itself. Quickly learning how to communicate with these alien, the children discover that there are bigger problems on Forrestal than a crashed shuttle. The children learn that outlaw humans are mining the planet illegally and in the process are destroying the alien ecology. Unknown to the trio, Flim has been staying hidden and following them, hoping to find a chance to help them escape for the alien creepers. While not giving up their search for Flim, Devon, Jacinda and Merrell vow to help the alien creepers. The creepers lead them to the outlaws. The three devise a plan to stop the outlaws, but encounter danger when caught by them. It is only with the last minute help of Flim and their secret weapon (even to them) Sammy that they subdue the villains. Shutting down theTerminé

FOR THE LOVE OF DAHLIA
"As you exit through that doorway, you leave from my life as well," I declared while maintaining an unwavering gaze. Love had dissipated entirely, leaving behind a void where once cherished memories had resided. In their stead, a storm of anger, hatred, and disgust now raged. He regarded me with a disbelieving expression as if my words were too incredulous to fathom. "I'm sorry, please give me the opportunity to be a father to Dah-" "Leave!" I uttered in a dangerously subdued tone. He did not merit the title of father. In truth, he did not warrant existence at all. Do you know why? Because he had robbed me of everything: my innocence, my happiness, my education, my teenage years, and my family. Everything. He was a monstrous presence, and my daughter would never address him as 'daddy.' Allow me to introduce you to Tori Donovan, a 22-year-old woman who grapples with the challenge of providing her 4-year-old daughter with the best possible life. Her past has been fraught with hardship, yet she has admirably shielded her daughter, Dahlia, from its adverse effects, diligently assuming the roles of both mother and father. Now, let me acquaint you with Ian Weizmann, the man who impregnated Tori at the tender age of 18 and subsequently absconded from his responsibilities. He is affluent, remarkably handsome, and occupies the position of CEO at Weizmann Corporation. What transpires when he unexpectedly crosses paths with a four-year-old girl in a shopping mall who bears an uncanny resemblance to his high school sweetheart? Embark on a journey with Ian, Tori, and, most certainly, the enigmatic baby Dahlia.Terminé
