"Welcome to the Menta-Life Corporation, where your dreams mean everything."
A war has crippled the Earth and destroyed the lives of millions. From the ashes, the Menta-Life corporation has found a way to rebuild what the world has lost by allowing people to live out alternate destinies through their dreams. Yet, in the depths beneath the city, the population of brain-drained former prodigies is growing. Is the Menta-Life corporation all that they claim to be, or are they stealing ideas from the very people they claim to serve?
Fresh from an unplanned prison break, Vanessa Pheros refuses to answer to anyone or anything, except her greed. But when Van returns to her former life as a runner, it soon becomes clear that something much greater than money is at stake. She has been personally drawn into a conspiracy involving the Menta-Life corporation. Along with fellow runner, Dayio, and with the help of a few colorful friends from her past, Van must race to confront her own ideals - and her own past - in order to survive in this futuristic sci-fi adventure.

Starpiercer: Sunlight's Edge
Nobody said Rock Hauling would be easy. Throughout settled space, terraforming is the fuel that drives the interstellar economy. For some worlds, this is easy. For others, lacking resources, or on the periphery, this is an unattainable dream. Through the eyes of workers, astronauts and intellectuals, Sunlight's Edge follows an attempt to revitalize the crumbled terraforming project of the barren, poverty-stricken and resource-poor planet of Tylo. To carry this out, the beggared planetary government has commissioned the crew of the aging, if powerful asteroid-cracker Caroline Rowland to make the three-month journey to a distant asteroid belt and tug a selected asteroid back into orbit for conversion into a space station. This is difficult enough by itself, but located in a strategic demilitarized zone between two rival interstellar hegemons, Tylo and it's project may be the flashpoint for a conflict of apocalyptic proportions, with the Caroline Rowland and her crew as the spark that lights the tinder. This is the debut novella for the world of Starpiercer, a planned series of novels set in the 200-world region of Solace with accompanying illustrations, sketches, maps, technical details and more. Read along to meet alien species, experience real and speculative technologies, and follow a sprawling interconnected narrative over multiple novels and multiple series, with fully realized histories, culture groups, physics, biology, anthropology and thousands of pages of worldbuilding. This story has been fully written, and more sections will be published daily, hourly, or in other chunks.Complete
Edenfall | Book 1 of The Ash Garden Series
Centuries of war left the world in ashes. Nations fought endlessly over dwindling resources, turning families against each other and weaponizing everything-from bombs to bioweapons to genetics itself. The once-vibrant continent of Virelia, an expansive supercity, became a desert. From this devastation rose Rafri: a new nation ruled by five powerful corporations, promising to guide the survivors toward a fragile peace. Centuries later, Leandra's life seems perfect. Heiress to Virelia Biotek, betrothed to the striking Elias Kael of Nexacorp Systems, she is cared for and protected despite her medical ailments. In the city of Ephyra, she has everything a girl could dream of-until a simple DNA test shatters her world. Her parents aren't her parents; she was stolen. With her parents offering no answers or explanations, Leandra does the only thing she can: she runs. Potoo's life is simple: they steal, they fight, they eat, and then they wake up again tomorrow. In the slums of the outer ring of Ephyra, it's every man for himself, and Potoo liked it that way. That is, until someone with white hair and piercing blue eyes turned everything upside down. Suddenly, survival isn't just about the streets anymore-they're being hunted, and dragged into a mystery involving a girl whose life may change everything. As secrets unravel, Leandra and Potoo discover the truth is far bigger than a stolen child. It's a truth that could heal their shattered world-but only if they survive long enough to see it through. ------------- Status: Hiatus :(
