Captain Ethan Adam Greene of the Federation starship U.S.S. Andromeda had faced many adversaries during his half-century in Starfleet. Alien species bearing down upon his vessels and his person with some of the most lethal and sophisticated weaponry ever encountered. Spatial and temporal phenomena that could destroy entire star systems and rip apart the very fabric of space itself. Tyrants, autocrats, killers and con artists who thought they'd found an easy mark in this mild-mannered Terran starship commander. Even Starfleet admirals who saw him as a misfit and troublemaker who flouted the rules at his convenience and got away with it. But his greatest adversary was his past.
  
  The painful memories of a young wife lost to tragedy before they could fully explore and experience their love and live life together. Of two small children raised to honorable adulthood in the wake of that loss. And the insecurities and pain those experiences still caused him so many decades later. Captain Ethan Greene was a hero to many in Starfleet and the Federation, but rarely one to himself.All Rights Reserved

The Heartless Void by empiresofwater

In the distant future, Earth's resources have been plundered and deep-space oil haulers have become the backbone of the solar system's many stations. Henry Starbuck is the first mate onboard such a vessel, the Pequod. He only wants to finish the season and return home to his husband and son. But the captain of the Pequod, Ahab, is a man obsessed with hunting down the vessel which took so much from him. There are legends of his quarry, Moby-Dick: talk from spacefaring astronauts that the ship, shaped like the extinct whales of old, is no longer crewed and is run entirely off a rogue AI programme. Many lives have been lost to it. Starbuck has to confront the terror of space and the awful mania of his captain, all the while dealing with a past which will never leave him alone. He wishes desperately to do what is right. The farthest galaxies are heartless, but no more cruel than the horror that exists inside man. [a sci fi adaptation novella of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick - but no previous knowledge of the book is required] [Updates every Friday from 20/09]

The Galaxy Will Never Be The Same. In the year 2832, humanity stands at the pinnacle of its achievements, having forged alliances across the Milky Way through the Space-Peace Act. However, amidst the celebration of unity, a lingering threat persists: the Foxrins, a cunning race of humanoid foxes resistant to peace.

Alongside a diverse crew of allies, each with their own motives and backgrounds, Captain Thorne embarks on a perilous journey into the uncharted depths of space. As the quest unfolds, the boundaries of reality blur, revealing the interconnectedness of civilizations and the threads that bind them to the cosmos.

Book one of the Glass Galaxy Trilogy Almost a century ago the very stars disappeared, leaving space a black void for three long hours, and when they returned, they weren't the same. The galaxy had changed. Old constellations were gone, well-known planets nowhere to be found, and new inter-galactic nations replaced the old. Only a single star system didn't change. Kalani, a now ex-naval officer, has been wandering this new and unfamiliar galaxy for most of his life, searching endlessly for both his fiancé and the solar system they called home, but he has found nothing, and he grows more disheartened with each passing day. He has nothing but himself, his ship, and his companion AI in a galaxy that grows ever more dangerous, and if he doesn't adapt soon, then he will fall prey to the harsh circumstances that have overthrown his life. It's a good thing, then, that he will do anything to find his long-lost love.
