Dive into an action-based short story about a group of alien Commanders. Each praised for their work in the destruction of earth. Following the death of the humans there remained Lucy. An interesting case, but a key motivator to the aliens. Whether their actions be for good... or bad. A book on war, death, revenge, politics, influence, and of course: aliens.

The Maintenance Man Book 2: Another Repair by Pars01

This takes place 6 - 7 years after the Maintenance Man.

A short story that focuses on an alien species exploring the universe to make contact with other sentient beings.

Written in the likes of H.G. Well's Time Machine, this short story follows a scientist and explorer on one of the first-ever journeys into deep space. Parker is a young man who will soon find more questions than answers as he and his crew look to establish a colony on an alien world.

A grumpy and unsociable alien finds himself caught in the gears of a terrorist plot and kidnapped by a sketchy interspecies crew of mercenaries. If he can't break a lifetime of habit and bring himself to trust them, a lot more than his own life is on the line.

This story follows a human survivor who finds himself in an unlikely relationship with an alien from a militaristic species. As they navigate the complexities of interspecies conflict, cultural differences, and personal attachment, they form a bond that challenges both of their worlds. Set against the backdrop of a universe where humans are forced into a brutal competition for survival, the narrative explores themes of love, loyalty, and the moral dilemmas of war. The protagonist's journey is one of adaptation and resilience, where the lines between ally and enemy blur, leading to unexpected consequences.

A collection of short stories which are segments of the one story I want to write. I'll add more later once I flesh out the segments. The chapters are somewhat in chronological order. Some stories overlap in their timeline because the endings are different, but they belong to the same segment of the story. It's got aliens, gods, soulmates, wars, reincarnation, time-travelling, prehistoric elements, Historical events, futuristic themes.

A simple check on a planet turns into a fight for their life for a group of marines.
