A New World Awaits... But at What Cost?
Sixteen-year-old Max has only known Earth as a history lesson-a planet devastated by war and climate collapse. Like the rest of the passengers aboard the Odyssey Ark II, his destiny is to sleep for decades in a hibernation pod, waking only for a one-year shift to keep the ship operational on its centuries-long journey to a distant star.
But when Max awakens, something feels off. As he uncovers secrets buried deep within the ship, Max begins to question everything he's been taught about the mission, the ship's purpose, and even his place in society.
With time running out and the truth more dangerous than he could have imagined, Max must decide: follow the rules, or risk everything to find out exactly what is happening on board?
Perfect for fans of science-fiction and adventure, this gripping sci-fi adventure explores hope, resilience, and the fight for a better tomorrow.

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

19 parts Complete

Seventeen-year-old Max has always felt like an outsider. When the agonizing apocalyptic visions begin, he decides suicide is his only escape. He soon finds himself in an institution under the guidance of a therapist who sees something exceptional in him. Just as he begins to leave the hallucinations behind, Max discovers the visions weren't just in his head. There are three others who have shared those same thoughts and they've been searching for Max. Like him, they are something more than human. Each of them possesses certain abilities, which they're going to need when a covert military group begins hunting them down. As the danger escalates, Max doesn't know which side to trust. But in the end, his choice will decide the fate of both species.
