Long fascinated by the movements of the twelve bodies in the sky, powerful statesman Liege Jyrus Syroon has tracked them for more than twenty years. 
However, he finds himself conflicted when Lennis Maifa, a young, renegade scientist, seeks refuge in his house for heresy. Maifa is eager to study Syroon's measurements in the hope of uncovering proof for his outrageous theories: that their planet is not the center of the universe. What is more, their world and sun are retreating from what Maifa calls &quot;the Sky Wheel&quot; galaxy. 
Enthralled by the young man's ideas, Syroon shelters Maifa from Eminence Aranka, an Inquisitor determined to repress the young man's discoveries. When Syroon's blind but high-spirited daughter falls in love with Maifa, Syroon cannot escape a direct confrontation with Aranka, which could result in a religious war.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.
