Vengimi Carven runs away from an abusive wife, leaving behind his son, only to get beamed up onto an alien spaceship. He meets Keth Vasileniy ― the tea loving, gothic trench coat wearing captain of the Silent Whisper. 

All is well until they are captured by Mijishian pirates and taken to planet Mijishin, where the men are forced to partake in the Path of Shattered Glass and become military soldiers called illusionists. 

A war between planet Mijishin and planet Steelwick involuntarily coerces the illusionist soldiers to engage in battle. However, all Vengimi wants is to find his son. He travels the galaxy while sent on various military assignments, though his heart yearns to reunite with the son he left behind.All Rights Reserved

SWRC: Rising Resistance (Book 4) by neeran

"Twenty years ago, I lost my little brother, my parents, everything! I can never get back what I lost the night the Black Sun agents came for us." Jexxel Zaneshi, formerly known as Nadia Star-Jinn and under the guise of Esmeralda, is on a mission to the city of Paarhys, Français. Hidden amongst the highly oppressed peoples of Paarhys, Jexxel has to find the rumoured Jedi on planet before anyone else does, especially the roaming resident pirate bands and the Empire with its Inquisitors. But a certain Imperial Captain of the Guard has his eyes on Jexxel, making her job much harder, as well as more sinister forces that are always in the way of allowing her to complete her mission. Jexxel had always hoped that her past had been buried far behind her in a place where no one could ever possibly know about, but as the city begins to crumble into chaos around her, no one is who they appear to be and more than one may be aware of the past she has tried to leave so far behind her. None more so than the enigmatic Captain of the Guard, and the wayward performing and storytelling leader of the most oppressed peoples of Paarhys... "Eighteen years ago, I lost my parents to the Head of the Black Sun operation that they used to work for. I can never get back what he stole from me following their deaths."

AISLIN | I by WriterMickeyC

❝You are just a WOMAN. You can't fight in this war, you're weak. It will chew you up and spit you out, you can't keep up with us.❞ The commander scoffed with a low chuckle. A couple of men behind him chuckled as well. Evander's gaze burned into the side of my head, awaiting my reply like everyone else. ❝If I can't fight, then why did the Queen herself ask me to take over your job for the time being?❞ I asked, pulling my dagger out from its sheath, taping on Commander Leland's breastplate with the tip, ❝Careful who you call weak Commander because you clearly don't know who I am.❞ He crossed his arms defensively, ❝Oh yeah? And who are you?❞ I leaned forward lightly, ❝The name's Aislin.❞ ________________ Her name was well-known throughout the kingdoms. Some believed she was just an urban legend, while others thought she was real but some believed she didn't exist at all. She was labeled "the infamous warrior" because she was known for destroying kingdoms with her bare hands. She was a woman, but she set a strong example for tens of thousands of men. She disappeared after a horrific accident. Years had passed, and she had led a life free of violence. After all those years, she was itching to return to the battlefield. Her wish was granted when Queen Aria of Kavan herself approached her and informed her of the events unfolding in her kingdom, requesting her assistance. A sexist Commander, a caring queen, a slacker army, new friendships, and an intriguing yet hothead prince are among the challenges she faces. She's got a lot to handle. --- REVIEWS (more inside) "If you put equal portions of action, adventure, comedy, mystery, romance & feminism in a ninja blender and set it to high power, YOU 👏 GET👏 AISLIN👏.

Chromium by Crovaxlo

Corporal Dia Zephyr assumed it was just another drill, no more than a Navy tradition, a rite of passage for the recruits. She expected a spacewalk, maybe a shooting game inside an asteroid field, skimming along the Collective's border before turning back to the Empire's space. After all, this was what they knew, what everyone expected. But that's not what happened. Highest ranks: [27 in #Science Fiction - 25 in #Horror 10-01-2018]

ARC10 by LLMontez

[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles. Cover art by @FayLane Copyright © 2016 by LL Montez
