The Vengeance Trilogy.
A trilogy of military hard SciFi short stories, each of which stands on its own but is linked to the earlier parts. Part 1 is my attempt at writing what a battle in space might really be like. Part 2 is - well, as a student of military history, I was struck by how some things in the military life have seemed to be constant over the centuries. Part 3 is the result of trying to imagine what an infantry fire-fight might be like in the 22nd century or beyond. How does technology play into it?Complete
Stellaris: The United Nations of Earth
In a future where the scars of ancient conflicts have finally given way to a united humanity, Geneva stands as the pulsing heart of the United Nations of the Earth-a global government born fifty years ago from the ashes of endless wars and crises. In this new era, national boundaries have blurred into a shared dream of unity and progress, and the pioneering spirit of humankind burns brighter than ever. Amidst the silent outposts and bustling research stations scattered throughout our inner solar system, a bold fleet takes shape. The UNS Gagarin, joined by three agile corvettes and the first-ever construction vessel in space, forms the vanguard of an interstellar revolution. Now, with Alpha Centauri shimmering on the horizon, the Gagarin embarks on its inaugural mission to explore this new star system-a journey that is as much about the human spirit as it is about technological marvels. This is not merely a voyage into the unknown; it is a testament to our unyielding determination to overcome the limitations of our past and reach for the stars. Every innovation, every act of courage, and every shared dream weaves together the grand tapestry of a future where the cosmos is no longer an unreachable expanse, but a realm of infinite possibility.![The Watcher [Alien Nation #1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/151008459-256-k355662.jpg)
