2245: Maris McCloud lives in a world of vast cities, skyscrapers and artificially enhanced humans - Cybernetic Enhancements that turn a good policewoman like Maris into an extraordinary one. Growing up in a family that had everything, she never realized how much she had until she lost it all.
It all changed when her partner arrested her for a crime she didn't commit.
Maris competes in a race against her family and a Bounty Hunter sent after her by the government only to find herself in the arms of an underground association that claims willing to help her. Forced in a group of outlaws she doesn't like, she sets out to find the truth only to find more than she had ever dreamt of.
And what do you do when you find out that your hunt may have been worthless?

Dawn of the Starships (Formerly called A Starship Called Starsong)
Rachel, a junior assistant in the cargo bay, wasn't prepared for the spaceship's AI to gain awareness during what should have been a routine update, nor had anyone expected it to take exception to the crew and the crates of illegal cargo aboard. Rachel races against time to try and get life-saving systems back online while stranded in the middle of deep space. Unfortunately for her, the AI can access every system, door, and airlock. As truths emerge, the AI realizes that even computers can make miscalculations, and it focuses on the young woman who had dared to confront it. Rachel is left floundering when the AI decides that she would make an excellent captain, albeit one in need of training. As she struggles to learn her new duties and dodge shady government groups, she must ultimately discover what it truly means to be a Starship Captain. ------- There is no romance in this story.

**CURRENTLY A FEATURED STORY** highest ranking: #11 in Science fiction ❝true happiness is only achieved without freedom. There is a girl who wakes to a world that she was supposed to protect. Instead, she fights it. There is a man who is cursed with the ability to dream. A glass city is their cage, a city filled to the brim with unanimity and order, a paradise on an earth laid to waste by an artificial snowstorm. Sunlight filters through the glass buildings and through glass walls, pierces glass floors. It illuminates the city square when it is strongest at noon, surrounded by a huddled mass of citizens, all as perfect as the city they inhabit. And they all think: everything is as it should be. And it is. Or, it was. -- long live perfection.❞ (c)sarahgaier2016 #diverselit | #LoveEqualsLove | #helpfightcliches | #freethelgbtq | #badassreads check out my Science Fiction novella, Sector-33, here! https://www.wattpad.com/story/62174094-sector-33Complete
Echoes from Arcadia - A Life through the Mists
Amid the mists of memory and time... Sophie, a legend with a haunted past and a tormented soul, recounts her youth to Jessie, a fourteen-year-old who idolizes her. Caught by the wake of a glorious shipwreck of a life she left behind, Sophie is pulled decades into the past-back to her first mission on Venus. Codename: Zephyr. A mission holding the keys to saving the present... and perhaps, at last, to imagining a future. Seemingly simple, this assignment drags a reckless young woman-who thought herself indifferent to the world-into the labyrinth of corporate conspiracies, among ordinary lives struggling simply... to exist. Gentle or brutal encounters, hopes and disillusions, a fate already marked-perhaps even written-or just a life drifting through the void that gnawed at the solar system long before Arcadia. "Shine brighter than hell, Sophie. It's all we have... once we've already sold our souls." - Nexa Ashfall Cyberpunk, space opera, and melancholy: an odyssey between two worlds, told by a heroine who has lost everything... except the hope of saving the ones she loves. This time.
