In space, the lame don't walk, they soar.
Setting out on their maiden voyage is the first space crew with disabilities: an all-American basketball star, a celebrity streamer, a computer genius, a military hero, a walking encyclopedia, and the first human born in space. But when a massive solar flare threatens the ship and festering secrets divide the crew, is their mission crippled from the start?

Wanderers of the Solar Wind
They're not looking for glory. They're just trying to survive. In a future where Earth has drowned beneath the waves and Venus has become a fortress in the clouds, space is no longer a realm for heroes-it's an arena for those cast aside. Where the law ends, the fight for survival begins. And where the connection to home is severed, a new family is born. This is a story about those who don't fly toward the stars, but away from them-from the past, from the system, from the roles forced upon them. About those who find each other in the shadows of forgotten stations, on the ice of distant moons, aboard a battered shuttle that should've been scrapped long ago, yet somehow still flies. It's a story of loyalty, brotherhood, and friendship. Of choices that aren't debated-they're made. A message from the future, written in blood, platinum, and rust. This is space as it truly is: harsh, beautiful, merciless. Where friends are family. And a cosmonaut's word is stronger than diamond. Are you ready to launch? Buckle up. The Karakut is warming its engines. Let's go.
Testing Pandora
In the far future, genetic engineering is used to strip all sapient species of disability. But when humans have a brief fad of natural birth, disabled children start reappearing. They're quickly termed "Pandoras," the value of their very lives brought into question, and laws are put into place to prevent their births from happening ever again. Xandri Corelel is one of these Pandoras, a young autistic woman scorned by her family and fighting to eke out a living on the streets of Wraith. Then she meets Chui Shan Fung, captain of the first contact and refugee ship Carpathia. Captain Chui has been watching her, and knows about the talent for understanding alien species that Xandri has cultivated. She wants Xandri as part of her crew--but first, Xandri must pass a test to see if she'll even fit in. Wary but hopeful, Xandri joins the Carpathia at Psittaca, a newly-discovered planet peopled by parrot-like sapients. Learning to understand this new species is the easy part compared to trusting her new crew mates. As Xandri continues her diplomatic efforts with the Psittacans, it becomes apparent that the Carpathia's crew aren't the only ones to have discovered the planet, but these other visitors don't have good intentions. In order to protect this beautiful new world, Xandri must find it in herself to overcome years of abuse and neglect, and trust in her new crew.Complete
