first-contact marines sciencefiction

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.All Rights Reserved

We Are All Mistakes by David_A_Moore

[Think of it as Star Trek: First Contact meets The US Office - one chapter per day] If your parents ever said you were a mistake, well... so were they. And so were their parents. And so on - all the way back to a failed cosmic experiment that eventually kick-started a species capable of inventing nuclear weapons, influencer culture, and reality TV. Now Earth is circling the drain, and the Galactic Union has finally noticed. Their plan? Patch things up by inducting us into the wider universe - with the help of a misfiring Steering Committee and one extremely confused human abductee: Duke Kramer. Volunteering for a NASA black-ops program was meant to give Duke a purpose - offering the magic of alien contact. Instead, he's stuck in deep space learning that humanity may not be worth saving. While back here his friends are in a race to find him - dodging Elon-esque tech moguls who believe the coming salvation is their sole divine right. A darkly funny sci-fi satire about alien bureaucracy, the mess we've made of society, and whether it's ever too late to fix ourselves.

Star Kissed by LizzyFord

When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.

Death Message by jr999986

The Enemy Unseen... In the Winter of El Niño, a violent storm shatters the tranquility of a small, uninhabited atoll south of Vanua Levu in the Fiji Islands. Amidst the chaos, death washes ashore, quietly settling on the bleached sand. A mysterious, ancient vessel, adrift for millennia, reluctantly releases its deadly secrets on this fateful February night. Maggie and Brad Montana, fledgling associate professors on a long-awaited vacation in Fiji, stumble upon the aftermath of the storm. They discover a pearl-black cone at the water's edge, unveiling two bizarre instruments that set them on a worldwide quest for discovery. The journey takes them to the alien landscape of the Devil's Marbles in the Northern Territory of Australia, guided by Backpack Bill, a charismatic local tour guide. As the Montanas unravel the secrets of the cone, their pursuit unwittingly triggers an ancient alien trap, revealing Earth's intellectual threshold to a distant star system. In a maddening environment, the couple deciphers a death message, inadvertently initiating a time-delayed sequence for the obliteration of the planet. Hope dwindles as the Montanas grapple with their spatial sepulcher, attempting to halt the countdown. Just when all seems lost, Backpack Bill stumbles upon the ancient portal, inadvertently unlocking their prison. The Montanas emerge to find themselves in a changed world, their wristwatch showing a mere fifteen minutes elapsed since their imprisonment, while the calendar declares it is now 2023. The couple, shocked by the four-year gap, must navigate a world transformed in their absence. Unsure if the sequence for termination continued after their release, the Montanas face the daunting task of reclaiming their lives amidst the echoes of time. Death Message explores ancient mysteries, the resilience of the human spirit, and the uncharted territories of a future shaped by the unintended consequences of their extraordinary journey.
