Survival is a game in which every mistake can cost a life.
Astra Caelus had it all - status, influence and a future mapped out by her father, one of the most powerful generals in Atlantis. But when she fled her home planet, all of that became a distant memory.
Now, hunted by her own family and the most dangerous corporation in the galaxy, she has one goal: to reach Earth and discover the truth that they tried to hide from her.
But for that, she needs a pilot.
Alex Varneas is a man who could be a legend if he wanted to be. A former soldier, a cynical mercenary, someone who will do anything if the price is right. When Astra makes him an irresistible offer, he knows one thing: this is going to be bad.
But money is money.
Their journey quickly turns into a deadly race, where they are the prey and every system can be a trap. Someone knows who Astra is. Someone knows what her father is hiding. And if the truth comes out, it could be not only Earth that burns, but the entire galaxy.
🔥 "Astra" is an action-packed space opera where political intrigue, relentless chases and cynical humor intertwine in a story about loyalty, betrayal and boundaries that cannot be undone. 🔥
Are you ready to cross the threshold of the stars?

Super Bad (Completed 2013) by 3pointt14

Ranked #1 in Action, #1 Adventure, #2 in Sci Fi "Whatever you do, don't let your blood run cold." "And if it does?" "Run. Run like hell. Run away from everyone you ever cared about." +++++++++++++ Jessie Daniels is just like you. She uses reading as an escape from her average, bookworm life. She envies and wishes for adventure and romance from the heroes in stories. But what she doesn't realize is that her wish is already granted before birth. Her parents, known as the country's best cops, aren't who they say they are. Suddenly, a simple game turns into Earth's greatest heart-stopping battle between two of the world's most dangerous men. Both are ruthless gang leaders who each rule a dominant continent: Asia and North America, and stop at nothing to get what they want. And they want Jessie Daniels.

A Spaceman by kullman

Aliens? Check. Space soldiers? Check. Murder? Check. Life is never boring in the Cygenus galexy. Set thousands of years in the future, A Spaceman, follows the escapades of a traitor to the human race throughout his lifetime from training as a Space Cadet to ultimately attempting to rule humanity. Aligned with the alien forces, the traitor seeks to rule the humans and aliens and destroy the people he once despised, but he may ultimately destroy himself. Violent good fun , this dark comedy pulls no punches with rotating stream of conscious narrative involving a few moral characters (some of whom actually make it out of it alive). Ultimately, we know the traitor must fall and good must win out, but in the end, do we really want it to? Amoral and highly intelligent the traitor flouts the forces of good and outsmarts the human forces as they gradually inch closer to capturing him, all the while letting the reader in on the fun of unadulterated evil. An addictive guilty pleasure, A Spaceman is an unforgettable ride with a surprise ending. NOTE: If you are offended my same-sex relationships or murder please go elseware.

Heaven's Path by UraniumAM

On Earth, there exists Astra Sera. A child prodigy turned chief astronomer who wants to discover this world, who wants to escape her reality to connect with those that dwell beyond the stars. In pursuit of this, she predicts a cosmic anomaly, one that defies physics and hints at the heavens that lie beyond human comprehension. But Astra Sera isn't the most normal astronomer. In her pursuit of the heavens, she has developed an unnatural connection with it. And, in her search to resonate with the divine, she has lost touch of human connection, even for those who she cares about. Suddenly, the barriers between reality shifts! In a terrifying cosmic event, everyone on Earth gets transported to a world that is entirely supernatural! One that combines the rigid rules of science and the strange fluidity of magic. The rationale (or lack thereof) of humans and the absurd nature of the divine! It is a world that has Gods, demigods, Angels, constellations and mysterious beings all fighting for dominance! A world that has vast beauties of technology in the far future, but abundant dangers in trying to reach the higher realms! A world that has little opportunities to get more powerful but has endless ways of turning insane! Will Astra continue to reach for the heavens as the world that is touched by it is constantly riddled with madness, darkness, corruption and insanity, or will she go against her nature and try to understand the very thing that makes us human-connection?

Inevitable Ascension by vkmcallister

***Completed*** If you knew your world would soon be torched to carbon, would you fight to save it? ...Or light a match of your own? Violina, a girl polarized by love and loathing, finds herself thrown into a post-apocalyptic world with mankind on the brink of extinction. Discovering the means to travel back in time, she teams up with the ever-optimistic, pun-loving Lux and sets out to prevent the apocalypse from ever happening in the first place. But as her crusade advances, she becomes increasingly disturbed by humanity's apparent *lack* of humanity and comes to a frightening realization: To build a new world, she must first tear the old one down. Inevitable Ascension-The twisted jigsaw puzzle of a story with equal parts rapid-fire action, humor and charm. It's got a host of twists that will literally make your brain explode! Actually not literally, you know, because otherwise that would be really gross. Who is V.K. McAllister? We're a husband/wife duo (Andrew and Sasha McAllister) with a unique approach to writing. We work simultaneously and in secret before combining what we come up with, resulting in dramatic and unexpected twists that surprise even us! Crazy? Yes, yes it is, but it's surprisingly fun and effective. :) We pretty much live for the Inevitable Ascension series and did just about everything ourselves-the writing, the editing, the publishing, the art (well, Andrew did the art, but Sasha provided invaluable consulting when it came to eyebrows), the audio book, the trailer-everything. We're basically a one-man band, except with two people... and no music... so perhaps not the best metaphor, but we're confident you get what we mean. Check out the trailer and art at www.inevitableascension.com :)

For the Good of the World by ostromn

Via Astralis is a daughter of Chief Navigator Patria Astralis, the planetary governor of the Trappist-1E Colony in the Aquarius constellation. As the sixth person in line for the governor's seat after her mother, Via knows that she will never rule, but she has always longed to serve. A keen student of the law, she's just become one of the colony's two detectives, but with only 500 people to oversee planetwide, the job promises to be rather uneventful. When an Ancient scientist is found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning, Via sees a chance to make a name for herself as a real homicide detective. But first, she must convince her boss--dear old Ma--to let her take the case. Unfortunately, Patria doesn't see anything of concern about the death and won't let her open a formal investigation without stronger evidence of foul play. Then Via's grandmother Kaitlyn, another Ancient, dies in her sleep. Now, Via is determined to get to the bottom of who is killing Ancients, and why. To solve the murders and find justice for the victims, she must find her grandmother's consciousness in Trappist-1E's virtual reality Caeles, where the minds of the dead are uploaded at the time of death. There is only one hitch in her plan: to investigate, Via needs her mother's permission... but Via's mother is her prime suspect.

Nebula by Zaeleb

Three Weeks. That's all the time the young soldiers of the "Riptide" squad have to train, prepare, and steel themselves for the invasion of Yut-Sarrit-a desolate, fortress world ravaged by conflict. For most of them, this is their first taste of war, and they approach it with a mix of nervous excitement and naïve bravado. But the battlefield has a way of shattering illusions. Alden Nakada, the squad's quiet yet formidable warrior, is a natural-born survivor-resilient, sharp, and unrelenting. His strength inspires admiration, envy, and even fear among his teammates, but beneath his stoic exterior lies a man haunted by the cost of survival. As the countdown to the invasion ticks away, the bonds between Alden, Fumiko, Ahern, Jareth, and the rest of the squad are tested in ways they never imagined. And When the squad finally sets foot on Yut-Sarrit, the harsh realities of war will come crashing down. Loyalties will be challenged, innocence will be lost, and the squad will learn that survival comes with sacrifices-some more devastating than others. Three weeks is all they have to prepare. But will it be enough?

The Envoy of Darkness by maxanonymity

"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

Galaxy Bounty Hunter by GalaxyMatthew

In the year 2541, four centuries have passed since humanity's grand interstellar migration project triumphed. Colonies now span across the stars, and centralized government is a relic of the past, replaced by a decentralized power structure where control rests in the hands of megacorporations within the Interstellar Alliance, with the Galaxy Corporation at the helm. But the golden age was fleeting. Under lax governance, chaos and corruption began to fester, dragging society into a quasi-medieval state. The ancient profession of bounty hunting rose from the ashes, taking over the role of law enforcement in this fractured era. Enter Karl Vega, a cynical and sharp-tongued bounty hunter, and his snarky AI companion, Oscar. During a mission to capture the infamous hacker Lia Solan, their ship is unexpectedly destroyed, leaving the duo stranded on a mysterious planet littered with the wreckage of other spacecraft. Forced to cooperate, the unlikely pair embarks on a perilous journey to scavenge parts and repair their ship, navigating the planet's countless dangers. Despite constant bickering, their synergy grows, and so does an unexpected bond. Recognizing each other's skills and the necessity of partnership in this cutthroat galaxy, they set aside their differences and form a team. Now, in a universe teeming with threats and opportunities, Karl and Lia take on the wild frontier as an unconventional duo, carving their path through danger, adventure, and the occasional spark of humor.
