**#1 in military Sci Fi**
Cadet Nathan Brant thought he knew who the enemy was.
In a galaxy torn apart by war, Nathan trains to pilot massive Titan Frames for the UNSC, haunted by his brother Marcus who vanished during a classified mission. When a mysterious AI named Naomi crash-lands into his life during a routine peacekeeping operation, Nathan discovers she's carrying secrets that could change everything-including the truth about Phantom, the unstoppable killing machine that's been terrorizing UNSC forces.
But in this war, nothing is what it seems. The Liberation Front fighters Nathan was sent to protect may not be the heroes they claim to be, and the Artificer pirates everyone calls criminals might not be the real villains. As Nathan and his squad uncover a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of command, they're forced to choose between following orders and doing what's right.
When Nathan finally learns the horrifying truth about Phantom's identity, he'll have to make an impossible choice-one that will turn him and his team into fugitives and set them on a collision course with the very people they once called allies.
The Acer Chronicles: Liberation's End is a gritty military sci-fi thriller about brotherhood, betrayal, and the true cost of war in the depths of space.

The Last 0-Day
The cybernetics revolution knows no compromise. Luciana Gutierrez, a police officer, works ninety-six-hour shifts with a eugeroic hangover around the corner. Her investigation into those who stole her life is sidelined as a crime syndicate turns her precinct into a war-zone. Sent for backup, she's offered experimental technology that could turn the tide, if she's willing to risk mind, body, and soul. Anton Grissom's birth was a crime, and his sentence is military service. Molded into an elite soldier, his path of atonement falls away when he's caught on the losing side of a massacre. In the aftermath, he's offered a second chance at life-if he's prepared to pay. Weaver heals the broken and disposable, and in the process makes cybernetics a reality. Superhuman strength, intelligence, and connections to one another, it could solve humanity's problems or tear society apart. But those concerns are secondary to Weaver, who just wants to see the next sunrise. All three are augmented for their own personal crusade and are on a collision course that will change the world. The Last 0-Day is an action-packed adventure about the start of the cybernetics revolution. It's Black Mirror meets Malazan Book of the Fallen with a dash of cli-fi.

Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?Complete

Adventures of General Fluffybutt
The Universe May Think You're a Joke. Prove It Wrong. They call the pilot "Chief Warrant Officer Pilot First Class Fluffybutt" and at 82 centimeters of genetically engineered "pocket-sapien," the moniker is a constant, irritating reminder that Command sees them as a mascot. They don't care. Fluffybutt only needs to fit into the cramped, high-G cockpit of the Overcompensator, a four-hundred-ton walking insult to reasonable engineering that carries enough weaponry to start a new religion. When the ruthless Combine forces descend on the colony of Juniper's Folly, civilian evacuation is the only play. Fluffybutt and their mech's AI, Mora, are assigned the impossible job: rearguard. The plan is simple: buy time. With the colony's fragile "Tin Finch" convoy trying to lift, the pilot must stand in a canyon pass and later bolt their entire mech to the hull of a transport as a fixed gun platform. They'll face down Shrike walkers, heavy infantry pods, and a charging Combine heavy cruiser, the Razorbus, by leaning on extreme measures-from surgical precision shots (Undercompensator Mode) to the all-out chaos of the eponymous Overcompensator Mode. From ground battle to desperate orbital defense, Fluffybutt must not only survive but also keep the convoy-and their own sanity-intact, even if it means resorting to manual repairs during combat, whispering heat-spirals with a Sermon-laser, and defending the line with a weapon system affectionately known as the "Gratitude Cannons". This is the story of a soldier who was built to be underestimated and chooses instead to be effective. The line must hold, the ships must escape, and the most ridiculous name in the regiment must become the last thing the enemy ever hears.
