Blasted Futures, Secret Histories (SciFi Smackdown) by CharlotteAshley

The Adventures of Morley and Boots: The crew of the Leapfrog travel randomly about the galaxy in search of unique lifeforms to trap & trade. Intra-galactic poaching is profitable, but risky - like when an Evil Intergalactic Empire accuses you of capturing their Goddess, and you don't even know which critter she is! End Game: In an alternate near-future Indochina, Imperial France still rules, much to the chagrin of the local Siamese. Ratana's brother is captain of a premiere league football team, and a hero to the Siamese - and when he is booted from the squad to make space for the son of a powerful nobleman, it sets off a chain of events that could result in the toppling of the Empire. Self-Assembly Required: Human civilization has been almost entirely destroyed by a catastrophic plague of nanites, but one city remains, hidden and protected by Hydra, a team of all-female nano/human hybrids. Is the arrival of a roguish, lone-wolf mercenary a sign that human civilization is recovering, or the event that could destroy the few remaining survivors? The Woman from Mars: The robotic crew of the Basilisk thought humans were gone, long gone. But when they are sucked back in space and time to Jupiter's moon Europa in 2552, they discover a Viking civilization with the technology to rebuild human civilization - assuming the woman from Mars can complete her mission. Blasted Futures is a short story collection.

The Madman's Clock by Aarondov

2245 AD It wasn't supposed to end this way. Captain Jack Mallory of the United Earth Marine Corps is wasting away on a space station in the middle of nowhere, the furthest he and his recon squad could possibly be from the fighting on Alpha Centauri. Under investigation, all he and his three men can do is wait, until an admiral appears with new orders, and the recording of a garbled transmission. "Echo-two, Echo-two..." The UES Saturnus is an experimental starship that has just set out on its maiden voyage. An enigmatic race known as the Edra has objected to the Saturnus and its experimental equipment. Earth has ignored their protests. "...this is Zulu-two-three... requesting assistance." Mallory and his men are the only ones close enough to deal with an extremely sensitive situation. "... Saturnus is compromised. Edra commandos are pushing... bridge is... secure. Captain... won't cease experiment... psychosis. Entire crew... affected." There are just two problems. First, the voice on the recording is Mallory's. Second, the transmission is time coded; it hasn't been sent yet. The Saturnus is not damaged. Not yet. Soon, it will be. The Saturnus is top secret for one very good reason, a reason which has forced the hand of the Edra. The Saturnus can travel through time.

Mars Argo & the Silver Wolf [original] by glennlusional

What remains of the human race has migrated to the planet Ceren of the Andromeda Galaxy following a nuclear war that eradicated all inhabitable places on Earth, living amongst twelve other species of aliens. Several decades into humans - adapted later into Cerens - becoming a part of their solar system, conflict arose within the thirteen planets, pitting the Titans against the rest of the galaxy in a long, violent Great War that would eventually end in the imprisonment of almost all Titans, and a new Andromedian Council to be created in order to prevent and subside future conflicts to avoid such a destructive battle from happening again. Mars Argo's father was the leading face of the Life Alliance that faced the Titans in the war, and a year after the dust had settled from the final battle, he had gone missing when she was only four years old. Fifteen years later, Mars lives with fruitless hope that her father is still alive but is unable to come back to her and her mother, who is a shell of who she once used to be with her husband presumed dead. When sneaking around the pilot school's restricted grounds, Mars finds what might be the only thing that can lead her to answers about her father: his warship, the Silver Wolf. Unbeknownst to the civilians of the Andromeda Galaxy, the Titan Army has gathered its scraps and its bearings, climbing back to its feet with revenge on the forefront, led by the tyrannical Commander Amon. Reluctant to be burdened with the responsibility of preventing a second Great War, Mars accepts the role of leading a new rendition of the Life Alliance in hopes of uniting the former members to prepare for the threat of attack by the Titans- and finding out more about her father's disappearance.
