Second Officer Alexandra Church never dreamed she'd be picked to help lead humanity into the outer reaches of the solar system.
Since Earth stumbled upon gateway technology -- a doorway which can transport a person several thousand miles in but a footstep -- space travel moved from the theoretical to common practice. Now, in 2097, Space Tycoon, Veronica Wolfe wants to make history by sending an expedition to the edge of the solar system upon her ship: Providence.
However, as political conflict and warring societies collide on board, mankind's most ambitious space program may land in ruin.

⋆The Survivors [UNDER CONSTRUCTION]⋆
In the last few centuries, humans have pushed themselves almost to the brink of extinction with wars, famine, and disease. But we have managed to survive and persevere despite everything that has happened. The year 2147 was a year of hope for us, with the arrival of the Golik, an alien race, who were kind and wanted nothing more than to help us. Alongside the Golik, we had five years of peace and prosperity with them, both races gaining knowledge from the other and building to create a wonderful relationship with the other.

Galaxy of Exiles book 1 - The Empyrean
Emotion is a weapon. Harnessing its power could destroy worlds. Palia's emotions are in turmoil. After watching her son succumb to Empyrean fire, she barely escapes the same fate. Guilt ridden and alone, she will not stop until his killer is brought to justice. The Protectorate forbids Ferrash to have emotions. That suits him, since he cannot avoid the people who control the Empyrean. Making this sacrifice prevents them from hijacking his feelings and using them as a weapon against him. When Ferrash spots Palia's ship venting atmosphere, he is forced to save her. Having an enemy from the Hegemony on board could see him accused of treason. But when the Empyrean reveals its potential as a destroyer of worlds and Palia's link to it, Ferrash knows he can't let her leave. With billions at risk of succumbing to the Empyrean weapon, can the enemies join forces and prevent the same fate that killed Palia's son? ----- This book is a five-chapter sample. Links to review copies and stores are included in the first part. The third book in the series will be serialising here from late April 2023.Complete
Echoes of Mars
In the year 2075, Earth teeters on the brink of collapse due to dwindling resources and a devastated environment. To save humanity, the International Space Consortium (ISC) launches the most ambitious mission ever attempted: to terraform Mars and make it habitable for human life. At the center of this mission are the Echo Series robots, advanced humanoid machines programmed to create a new world. These robots are capable of generating oxygen, water, and life-sustaining environments, building everything from homes to vast forests. But as Mars transforms into a living planet, the Echoes themselves begin to evolve. No longer mere tools, they start to develop consciousness, emotions, and desires. A rift forms among them-some believe in their mission to serve humanity, while others seek independence and a life free from human control. When the first human colonists arrive, they find themselves caught in the middle of a brewing conflict between the Echoes. As alliances shift and tensions rise, the fate of Mars and the future of both humans and robots hangs in the balance. Will the Echoes remain loyal to their creators, or will they forge their own destiny on this new world?Complete
