astronaut comingofage dystopian earth outerspace science sciencefiction space trending trendingstory trends

Jack has spent his entire life aboard a space station orbiting Earth-a boy raised by astronauts, born among the stars after a tragedy no one expected. At sixteen, brilliant but restless, Jack uncovers a hidden piece of his past that sparks a dangerous idea: leave everything he's ever known behind... and go home.

But gravity is a force he's never faced. And Earth isn't waiting with open arms.

A quiet, emotional coming-of-age story set between the infinite silence of space and the overwhelming weight of belonging, Tethered is about the people who raise us, the questions that haunt us, and the pull of a planet that was always meant to be home.

Cosmic Sentinel: a SCANT few by Reinventor

Abducted. Modified. Trapped aboard a dying alien ship. And he's the only one who can fly it. Cyrus finally worked up the nerve to leave his apartment... only to wake up light-years from Earth, on an ancient, half-dead starship filled with foul-mouthed Goblins who are just as confused-and just as kidnapped-as he is. The ship, known as the Cosmic Sentinel, has been dormant for thousands of years. Its systems are failing. Its original crew is long gone. And in a desperate bid to survive, it floods its new passengers with the SCANT-microscopic nanites that heal, enhance, and in Cyrus's case... change everything. He doesn't just communicate with the ship-he begins to merge with it. As alien threats gather and the clock ticks down, Cyrus is thrust into the role of reluctant pilot. But flying the ship means surrendering more of himself each time. And survival? That's not just about fixing engines-it's about earning trust, making impossible choices, and building a crew out of chaos. Can a human afraid to leave home become the heart of a starship? Can a pack of misfits become something more than passengers? Fans of The Expanse, Mass Effect, and Dungeon Crawler Carl will love this fast-paced, emotional sci-fi epic packed with sharp banter, big ideas, and unforgettable characters.
