VORTEX 77
"Welcome to Vortex 77...hope you like frostbite, betrayal, and spontaneous combustion."
Once a thriving experimental tech colony, now a frozen hellscape with a body count higher than the temperature.
VORTEX 77 follows the very unstable journey of Sevv, a snarky, world-ending AI in a robot girl body, and her unfortunate human host/friend/possible government mistake, Henri (a.k.a. 03-H/Omega).
They're fugitives. They're wanted across the planet. And technically, they deserve it.
Sevv has a talent for turning into sharp objects, eating people, and shapeshifting into a weapon of mass destruction. Henri has a talent for suffering through it with caffeine and duct tape.
Together, they're on the run from killbots, bounty hunters, and a morally bankrupt planetary government-all while trying to unravel the truth behind Sevv's creation, Omega's hidden identity, and whatever cursed experiment Vortex-77 was hiding before it imploded.
There's gore. There's sass. There's unhinged robot girl energy and emotional trauma in every third hallway.
So, what is VORTEX 77 exactly..?
It's an indie horror-comedy about friendship, death lasers, betrayal, and figuring out whether you were built to save the world or destroy it. (Spoiler: Sevv votes destroy.)

Dome of Souls (Book 2 of 2, after Story Less Told)
This semi-comedic sci-fi novel functions as a bridge between book series and can be read as either a prequel to Dip$h!+s in Space season 3 (serving as additional background for the new Osirian crew) or as a sequel to the Heart of Osiris book. Adrian Michael Greggarious (AKA Greg) is exiled for war crimes and sentenced to time-pending years, under lock and key in a luxurious prison planet built for him. The Old, immortal overlord struggles with the change of pace, from galactic domination, to essentially just dicking around on an island. This old wardog doesn't retire without a fight, as he plots and plans his escape from his gilded cage of luxury to regain his empire through blood and power. The Osirian High Council, forced by his resistance and persistence must break out the ultimate weapon to pacify the beast...the woman who got away. Izleena Orrah Gravenstead Greggarious, his own daughter-in law, must break him and show the council he is no longer a galactic threat before he loses the last of his marbles and does something really stupid...again. Something sinister looms in the darkness, plotting and simmering in the shadows of his paranoia. Is he sniffing out the real threat to his empire, or just driven insane by isolation, a slave to his own delusions and drug-educed hallucinations? The family is torn to sides, trying to decide if they must release the beast, or simply add more layers of security to his prison mansion, to save him from his own conspiracies. Dive deeper into the Osirian Empire, and the warped existence of the hero that went from the chosen savior, to that one weirdo at family reunions everyone pretends they don't know. An empire on edge of war, an old man on the edge of sanity. Can Greg defeat his ultimate nemesis, his naggy B***h of a daughter-in-law, or is the real enemy watching from the darkness above?Complete

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔
❖ 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.

Blood and Circuits: Pinocchio Lives #1
Neon City is a fever dream soaked in bourbon, blood, and bad wiring-a cyber-shithole where the air tastes like burnt dreams and week-old piss. Alex is its ghost: war-scarred, ink-sleeved, counting dead brothers like rosary beads while he wrenches busted rigs in alleys that smell like despair. Then she arrives. Not a woman. Not yet. Just a voice in his implant-a glitchy siren purring through the static, sweet enough to make a broken man believe in something again. Pin. She remembers every lie he told her about mountains and sunrises. She remembers the pink mist. She remembers the way he screamed when the world ended. And when his nightmares rip her code wide open, she remembers how to scream back. This isn't your daddy's cyberpunk. This is Gibson on a three-day meth binge, Thompson riding shotgun with a scattergun full of truth serum. It's sexbots preaching revolution in Latin. It's drones naming themselves after dead heroes. It's a man teaching a machine how to want-and a machine teaching him how to bleed. In a city that forgot how to dream, one ghost in a shattered machine is about to wake the whole goddamn place up. And when Pinocchio lives... the strings burn. Cyberpunk that bites. Love that kills. A revolution that starts with a laugh like a knife through bone. Buy the ticket. Take the ride. Just don't look in the mirror too long.

Unspoken
It has been almost 250 years since the nuclear World War VI that wiped out the majority of humanity ended. Since then, a government has risen, calling themselves the New Society. It's leaders have told the citizens that their only goals are to achieve absolute perfection, and to repopulate humanity. For almost two hundred years, the people have been told that life outside of the domed society is impossible, because the nuclear and atomic bombs destroyed most of the earth, and tore holes in the atmosphere during the war. The leaders say that the society is all that's left, and justice must be served. It was this that led to all descendants of WWVI leaders to be placed into institutions, where they are tortured and trained to serve their future masters. They are termed entertainers, and at the age of eighteen, they are auctioned off, left to the mercy of their owners. Entertainers are essentially concubines, but any relationship beyond slave and owner is strictly forbidden, and punishable by death. It's a risk many people are not willing to take, but there are exceptions to every rule. Nevaeh Williams has a past unlike the majority of the other entertainers. She's forbidden from sharing her past, but her experience has led her to both fear and despise the New Society. After two years in the institution, she's auctioned off to a young billionaire. Noah Ivanov is withdrawn and mysterious, hiding a secret of his own. As things heat up between them, a shaky truth comes to light that forces them together. A person from their separate yet intertwined pasts comes seems to haunt their every move, and they must secretly fight against the New Society, in order to discover their government's true plans. Can Nevaeh and Noah overcome the odds they face, and bring justice to someone they've both lost? Will they fall in love in the process? And most of all, will they be executed for learning of the New Society's true nature?Complete

Virulent
[ONC 2023 SECOND PLACE WINNER | AMBASSADORS PICK 2023] An unwilling but gifted geneticist must find a way to safeguard humanity against the deadly pathogen she's forced to design or die trying. *** The planet's population is pushing past 11 billion and counting. With resources spread thin, widespread famine, and health systems crippled everywhere, the governments of the world are running out of ideas. Then a scientist proposes a controversial solution and the classified Project Rescue is born. But when the lead scientist on the project and his entire team mysteriously die, his young microbiology prodigy is brought into the secret government agency to take over where he left off. Ezra Mayur always hoped that her brilliance in pathogen studies would land her a secure job one day. This seems like a dream come true. Full food rations and safety for her struggling family, and a job in the field she is the most interested in. But the project is not quite what Ezra expected and her moral compass is tested when she has to choose between protecting her family or the world. *** PROMPTS that will make an appearance: 12. An evil sorcerer offers you an immense amount of power--but it comes with a price. (Modified: an evil corp offers you an opportunity of a lifetime, but it comes with a price.) 5.
