_________________________________________
16 year old Cassandra Radcliffe, nicknamed Cassie, is a whip smart, space loving, badass determined to find her father, or at least what happened to him. It's the year 2520, space travel is a thing of the present, rather than the future. Humans have found a way to settle on every planet, around it, or on one of it's moons. Except for Earth's sister planet, Venus. 12 years prior a mission had taken place with the intent of discovering the secrets of Venus. Cassie's father, Carson headed the mission. Things didn't go as planned. Everyone on board mysteriously disappeared as they approached the dangerous planet. The only remaining clue of what happened to them is the last transmission the team ever sent back to NASA. The odd part is that the transmission didn't show a crew in fear it actually portrayed the crew speaking of Venus's "beauty" and how what they saw was so "unexpected ". As Cassie's search for the truth intensifies, secrets are uncovered, lies are exposed, and people are for the first time seen for who they are.

INVASION: Wildest Game
Twenty years ago, the Galactic Federation saved Earth from extinction. In return, humanity gave them its loyalty. Under their guidance, civilization advanced beyond anything we thought possible. New technology. New systems. A stronger world. For most of my life, I believed they were our saviors but I was wrong. My name is Alexa Stanfield. I'm twenty years old, a college student, and one of the people chosen for a purpose the Federation kept hidden from humanity for decades. We were never simply rescued but being prepared. An intergalactic war is spreading across the universe, and the Federation is running out of soldiers. The species they sent before us were destroyed faster than expected. Now, they want humans to take their place. My friends and I were selected because we can resist psychological manipulation better than most, but there's no time for ordinary military training. So, the Federation created something else, Safira, a beautiful moon transformed into a massive survival ground where every trial is designed to push us beyond our limits. There are no exceptions. Not for the young. Not for the old. Not for the innocent. Once you're chosen, you play. And the rules are simple: Adapt, survive, and become useful. My friends and I thought our bond would be enough to carry us through. We were wrong about that, too. Because Safira doesn't just test strength. It tests loyalty, trust, far, and how far someone is willing to go when survival demands a sacrifice. I thought the worst thing waiting for us was the war beyond the stars. I should have been more afraid of the game itself. Because the moment Safira began, I realized something the Federation never told us. Not everyone who enters is meant to leave.
