Over and out.

Aviation Renegades | 'Forged in Silence'
In the beginning 2000s, the World would be changed forever. During a update to a Airbase's lent Aircrafts, something interesting would happen... leading to a new age, and a new experience. Join the crew, as they, along with their new allies would slowly adjust to this new occurrence, while defending what they believe in... while trying to survive in the world. (A/N: This is strictly a AU, this never happened IRL... and some names used aren't actually how the people they might be linked to have acted. Policies or Occurrences in the World should NOT be considered as secretly happening in the World right now.) (Be Warned though, as Swearing is included, along with some Adult Topics... along with PTSD... if you're easily triggered by this, please skip a few chapters if you're uncomfortable with them. I'll mark the chapters that go too far.) (If this does well, might make a second installment for other parts. This Installment will mostly focus on the beginnings.)

In the year 2085, Enoch Truss, Father of Mars, led our ancestors to the red planet in pursuit of liberty.

Today, two hundred years after the Exodus, our population is eleven million strong and growing. We stand ready to retake our homeworld. In preparation for our journey across deep space, we have sent drones to monitor Earth. To our surprise, we have discovered that human society has re-emerged from the ashes of nuclear war. These societies are in the earliest stages of development. It is as if time has been set back five thousand years. My name is Jack Hanlon, and I'll be joining the First Expedition.

Time flies by when you're sleeping
A massive alien ship and a human in a small pod, in cryogenic sleep, thousands of light-years away from earth. What could go wrong and how will he get back to earth? -------------------------------------- Notes: I felt tired one day and thought that I could use a long nap. This story is a result of that thought. I didn't use any movies or series for inspiration, the story is my original work. This is just the result of my weird imagination and brain thinking about what that character would do and telling me what to write. I hope you like it :) It's just a story, like all of my other stores. It doesn't have a deeper spiritual, moral or ethical meaning.Complete

Return to Earth
This is a completed novel that has been proofed. Editing will begin in April, 2022. Shortly after the first ships were sent to colonize Mars all communication with Earth was lost. The other ships that were supposed to arrive never did. What had started as the first of many became the only ones. Domes were built to protect the people living there, since Mars could not be conquered as the early scientists had hoped. Rather than their dreams of taming a planet, they settled for living with a place never meant for humans. Kierst is one of the descendants of those early settlers and works on the interior of one the domes. His job gives him the solitude he prefers with both work and home. He has no family and no friends, which is one of the reasons he is chosen to learn the truth about what happened to Earth and why everyone on Mars must return. He is among a small group who are entrusted with the greatest secret of his government. If his group fails, there will be no future for those living on Mars. Their secret fate lies with those who must return to Earth.Complete
