By foot across the galaxy: Walkers transport starships across interstellar space, but their abilities are rare. Few people have the mental talents to control the weird quantum technology that powers a star-drive. When a mysterious force disables the two Walkers on board the Xinglong Hao, novice Walker Gillian Berry is thrust into the role before her training is complete. Several thousand passengers now depend on her. But she is becoming distracted by alien thoughts and urges that she can't understand.

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.

( discontinued to be rewritten ) Huntingtown was panicking; no one knew where the sirens were coming from. There was no electricity, and there was no way for the storm Sirens to be sounding, yet they were. The entire Town was awake; everyone had a weapon. They had grabbed guns, knives, swords, and bats if they could be wielded and used for self-defense; Renee aimed her rifle at the trees, looking desperately for an explanation. Why would a siren sound? They only sounded when they were in Danger, so where was the Danger? When the predators revealed themselves, that was where the siren noise was coming from. Renee could feel her heart jump into her throat. Her face went pale; they were here. They had found the Town. Terror and panic soon swept Huntingtown; everyone knew what those monsters could do. After all, they did conquer the planet and impose the "choosing." Huntingtown was created hoping that its isolation in a cold climate would keep the Predators away, but it didn't. A voice came over those speakers. A male voice Gruff and laced with a growl. It was almost as if whoever was speaking was annoyed and angry. "Although I have enjoyed seeing your little Town outmaneuver many hunters. I am afraid this is where your little games end. However, I will give you a chance to keep your freedom. A hunt. You will be red by your best hunter, Renee Madison." Renee felt her blood go cold as she stared wide-eyed at the ship. She was unknowingly dropping her gun at the news. " she will be your leader; she will be my prize. You have a time advantage. Go!" The ship took off, looking for a place to land, all while the news sank into the Town's residence. Renee had known she had fucked up when she fired at one of those predators and hit him. She had proven herself worthy of the hunt. Now she has to face the consequences, not only her but her entire Town had to. Renee had to win this hunt; the fate of her Town depended on it.

**Editor's Pick List, January 2022** STARSIGHT x THE DISASTERS In a future not so far from now there are a group of people known as Maji. These beings, both human and not, have been given magic-like powers. But those powers come with a price. Hunted and ostracized for their abilities, the Maji live in secret throughout the Known Universe. ~~ Seventeen-year-old TJ is a smuggler and hacker - a damn good one, too. After fleeing Earth's collapsing eco-system, she has found a new family in the crew of The Phoenix. Their way of life isn't easy but it's never boring. When a job goes wrong, TJ and her friends uncover a conspiracy within the Galactic Police Force. A new drug is on the market - Cosmic Dust - and the GPF are funding it. But that's not all. The drug is created by the exploitation of the Maji. When TJ's past comes back to haunt her, can the crew forgive her of her secrets, long enough for them to pull CD off the market? Or will one final secret pull them a part for good?
