Earth has made first contact with an alien race. At the historic first meeting, an ambush put peace for humanity out of reach. Colonel Kyle Martin was there that day. It was his leadership and the bravery of his marines that saved what little hope mankind had. When Earth was threatened with invasion, Martin again felt the weight of war pressing down on him.
Known as the Butcher of Hyderabad for his decisions in the Indian War, Martin seemed a poor choice to guard the peace but the perfect man to organize the forces of Earth to defend itself from the coming alien scourge.
With a select team of humans and a few allies among the alien races, Martin is tasked with not only defeating the invading armada, but with making sure that Earth is kept free from any alien domination.
Faced with impossible odds against an overwhelming foe with advanced technology, it is only a secret about Earth itself that gives Martin the glimmer of hope to succeed.
With his “lucky charm” Ramirez, his go-to girl Kitch, and an unshakable Sergeant Major, Martin rolls the die time after time in audacious gambles with the stakes being nothing less than the survival of the human race. Face-paced action awaits in this military sci-fi adventure.

Alterra: Foreign Eden
In 2038, Alterra Robotics discovers a portal to a world untouched by modern industry, rich with magic, ancient creatures, and civilizations that have never heard of a megacorporation. To conquer this untouched land and resources, they deployed hundreds of thousands of androids as they slowly entrenched themselves in the world's history, undoubtedly changing the trajectory of their future. Alongside them are android inspectors-human employee who are tasked to evaluate their robotic workforces. Kusunoki Sakuta, one of Alterra's top android inspectors, is reassigned to Vernheit: a European-inspired nation on the continent of Caelum, home to Eisen Blut, Alterra's oldest and most powerful subsidiary. His job is straightforward. Evaluate the androids. Assess their performance, their mental stability, their physical condition. File the report. Go home. Most inspectors do exactly that. But Sakuta treated them as more than walking humanoid constructs. It's a habit that's earned him a reputation-and, apparently, a reassignment to one of the most politically significant postings on the continent. Alongside his corporate duty, he will also learn that... ... Perhaps being transported to an alternate fantasy world isn't as easy as it sounds. (Content Warning: May contain strong language, suggestive content, graphic depictions of violence, and AI-generated images.)

When Worlds Collide (MxM)✔
What would you do if you met an alien? Stare, obviously. But what if the roles were reversed, and YOU were the alien? Unfortunately for Kade, stares are the least of his concerns. As the only human on Terra, he must dodge the curious hands of Terrans and Carnivores alike and prove his worth as more than a novelty to the Terran King's Royal Inventor. A typical Isekai story, only instead of being hit by Truck-Kun, he gets blown up by a portal. There will be smut, and animalistic behavior. Be wary of drama and heartfelt romance.
