His only guide along the way, a star map relentlessly counting down to zero.
All while a cunning rogue outlaw hunts him down.

Wanderers of the Solar Wind
They're not looking for glory. They're just trying to survive. In a future where Earth has drowned beneath the waves and Venus has become a fortress in the clouds, space is no longer a realm for heroes-it's an arena for those cast aside. Where the law ends, the fight for survival begins. And where the connection to home is severed, a new family is born. This is a story about those who don't fly toward the stars, but away from them-from the past, from the system, from the roles forced upon them. About those who find each other in the shadows of forgotten stations, on the ice of distant moons, aboard a battered shuttle that should've been scrapped long ago, yet somehow still flies. It's a story of loyalty, brotherhood, and friendship. Of choices that aren't debated-they're made. A message from the future, written in blood, platinum, and rust. This is space as it truly is: harsh, beautiful, merciless. Where friends are family. And a cosmonaut's word is stronger than diamond. Are you ready to launch? Buckle up. The Karakut is warming its engines. Let's go.

We have always been destined to rise above our already fascinating sentience; To evolve into something greater than we now are. Change is a fundamental essence of the reality we live in today, an aspect of life that has been here for centuries. A strand in our beautiful nature that we have learned to despise. As the saying goes, 'People are afraid of what they don't understand'. People tend to fight back against change and others embrace it. When the chance of evolution finally reveals itself to us, on what side will we be on? The side that chooses to let it soar the skies, or the side that chooses to use it selfishly? Humans are magnificent creatures, not because of their awareness of life. But for their capability to unite and divide themselves because they choose to do so. (This trilogy is dedicated to those oppressed by the violence and suffering that discrimination may bring upon them.) April 19th, 2020Complete
