In the Crimson Veil nebula, an interstellar war rages between the democratic Unity Accord and the militaristic Conquest Pact. At its heart, StarShade station becomes a nexus of intrigue where the mysterious Red Spark holds the power to reshape or destroy the galaxy. Amidst epic space battles, drama, and covert operations, a diverse cast of over fifty characters-including telepaths, genetically enhanced humans, brilliant scientists, and cunning spies-navigate shifting alliances and personal agendas. Their intertwining stories weave a complex tapestry of human evolution and political machination that will determine the future of the galaxy.

[This space opera contains mature themes and content, including graphic violence, complex political intrigue, and adult situations. It's more akin to "Game of Thrones" in space than your traditional space adventures.]

ARC10 by LLMontez
105 parts Complete
[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

How about negotiating with them? 🔭🪐🌌What's the going rate for reality itself? And what happens when it decides to set its own price? ሠዐሠ!! Space is vast, cold, and unforgiving - unless you've got the right crew and a fast ship. Captain Sarah Chen has both in the Starcaller, making a living in the shadows between legitimate salvage and outright piracy. It's a good life, if not always a legal one. Then they find the Keystone. Hidden in the ruins of a civilization older than human memory, it's an artifact that can twist the fabric of reality itself. Some say it's a tool of creation, others a weapon of unimaginable power. To Sarah, it's the kind of trouble that gets people killed. Now the Starcaller's crew is caught between the Crimson Collective's merciless hunters, corrupt officials of the Concordat, and ancient guardians awakening from eons of slumber. Every power in known space wants the Keystone - and they'll sacrifice anything to get it. But the artifact has its own agenda. It whispers to the crew in their dreams, showing them wonders and horrors beyond imagination. As reality begins to fracture around them, Sarah realises the real question isn't who gets to keep the Keystone. It's whether anyone should.
