Sign on for the deadliest job in the Solar System.
200 years in the future humanity is no longer a victim of gravity and circumstance. Earth's children have realized their birthright and colonized the Solar System. Mars, the moons of Jupiter, the asteroids ... but none of those fantastic worlds is as welcoming as Earth.
To warm the frozen surface of Mars humans look into their past and employ internal combustion technology to blanket the red planet in heat-trapping greenhouse gasses. In this future where Earth has become an ecological utopia there is only one place in the Solar System that has the hydrocarbons Mars desperately needs: the moon Titan.
Join the crew of the mining ship Krakken as she embarks on her three-year journey into the depths of Solar space -- far from other people, far from other ships, far from help.

Sunstruck
Hundreds of years into the future, humanity has built its own artificial planet, one not bound by the orbit of the Sun. Instead, every couple hundred years, it siphons the energy of another star into it's core. When three unassuming teenagers discover a cult determined to prevent the siphoning that year, effectively destroying all life, they are plunged into the depths of corruption, not just about the cult, but from the Solar siphoning and the company responsible itself.Lengkap
Europa
In order to embark on a mission to discover alien life on the icy moon of Jupiter Maria must leave her life on Earth behind, including her father and her seven-year-old son Diego. She thought the hardest part of the mission would be saying goodbye, but little does she know what awaits her and her crew on Europa, an environment that has never been explored from the surface until this mission. Perhaps alien life was never meant to be explored by humans... Will she fulfill her promise to her father and son to make it home alive, or will she fail to make good on that promise like her mother did when she was a little girl? Note: This story was written during a challenge to write an entire book in one week! I vlogged the whole process on my YouTube channel (Patrick Procrastinates Writing), my Instagram (@memesforwriters), and my TikTok (@memes4writers). Be sure to check those out if you want a behind the scenes on my writing process behind this project! I will continue to work on Europa, but I will not update this version as it shows what I was able to accomplish in the seven days of the challenge. Please let me know what you think (don't be afraid to be mean).Lengkap

Star Crew
In the far reaches of a distant future, humanity has long broken free from the confines of Earth. With the stars now within reach, colonies spread across planets, moons, and entire systems. Science and medicine have advanced beyond ancient limitations, and through the revolutionary CRISPER Program, human lifespans stretch far longer than ever before though mortality remains an inevitable truth. But with progress comes conflict. Newly discovered resources hidden throughout the galaxy ignite political tension and territorial greed. Old rivalries flare anew as factions, governments, and corporations clash for control of the wealth scattered among the stars. While countless citizens choose neutrality and cling to peaceful lives within the growing sprawl of civilization, not everyone avoids the chaos. For mercenaries, warlords, pirates, and scavengers, the universe is a battleground and a marketplace. Danger lurks behind every contract, every derelict ship, every shadowed asteroid belt. Yet for those willing to risk everything, the rewards are higher than ever. In this age of expansion and unrest, fortune favors the bold... and the desperate. Some fight for survival. Some fight for power. But many fight simply because in this new era, danger is money.
