Thrust into the role of accidental space pirate, reluctant hero, and pawn in an ancient galactic war, Sydney's life has become a light-speed scramble between the impossible and the apocalyptic.

In 2068, the United States was moving toward a second frontier era, a second Manifest Destiny across the solar system. Then, one day, thanks to a strange alien signal, they discovered a hidden facility on Mars. The signal was transmitted through a device considered an ancient decoration but turned out to be a portal to another world. With a series of events, the United States sent one of its most elite teams to this world to investigate, Combat Fire Team-1, also known as Comanche, and discover why the people of Alagore opened a Bridge to their world. Comanche must explore the connections of this new world and the wonders discovered on Mars, confront the darkness known as the Unity in its global conquest, and above all, protect the US and the rest of Earth from this new threat. However, will they be able to discover the secrets of this war or fall victim to all that had come before? This is a original book by PWOFalcon.

After surviving a brutal war of annihilation against a mysterious and implacable foe, Captain Dylan Cook finds the only solace is at the bottom of a bottle. With his beloved ship, Magpie, sacrificed for the ultimate victory and all his friends either dead or spread out among the Five Systems, he tries to live his life in solitary peace. Until the day an almost literal ghost arrives offering him a new life, a new but familiarly named ship and a crew of misfits and fading memories. When their first job as cargo haulers turns out to be a lot more complicated than they could ever imagine, the crew find themselves in a race to fulfil their obligation while trying to avoid a new war. Only, this time, it won't be a war against faceless enemies, but against old friends and former colleagues. A sci-fi blockbuster in the vein of Firefly/Serenity and The Expanse.

The New Republic is fracturing. The First Order is rising. Svenja Kroenke, a young officer, talented yet humble, trained in robotics and command systems, is pulled from Earth - by an ancient mysterious Order older than the Jedi - into a conflict where victory is never clean and every decision leaves a residue. Across the board stands Thrawn: brilliant, patient, and convinced that stability matters more than mercy. His enemies are gone or cornered, and the galaxy is running out of room to stop him. This is not a story of chosen ones or easy triumphs, but of strategic warfare, political friction, and the quiet weight of responsibility. For readers who enjoy competence-driven science fiction, moral complexity, and space battles where outcomes are shaped long before the first shot is fired. Svenja vs Thrawn is not a story of easy heroes or simple battles, but of intelligence under constraint, institutional pressure, and the moral weight of decisions that cannot be undone. For readers who prefer restraint over spectacle, and consequence over comfort. Note: * Will be published on RoyalRoad as well

For decades, Anissa has lived a double life: the devoted wife of Debbie Grayson and the iron-fisted "Guardian" of Earth.

Now, with the arrival of the monstrous Conquest and the impending shadow of Grand Regent Thragg, Anissa must make a final choice. Will she remain a loyal daughter of the Empire and watch the world burn? Or will she sacrifice her godhood, her people, and her very life to protect the girl who taught a soldier how to love? A high-stakes, queer reimagining of the Invincible universe, exploring the thin line between redemption and ruin.

Death was supposed to be the end. For Mark Shepherd, it was just the beginning. Run down on Earth, Mark wakes to the screaming alarms of a starship crashing onto a desolate world.

To survive, Mark must master the art of Starship Engineering, forging everything from intricate fusion reactors to cold warship hulls.

When Mark forms an unlikely family, his rising technological brilliance paints a target on his back. Greedy factions want his skills enslaved or destroyed. In a universe where freedom is enforced with railguns, a quiet life is a death sentence. To protect his own, Mark must build, expand, and rise from the unknown to challenge the titans of the galaxy. But such a task is easier said than done. He didn't ask for this second life, but he will seize it. To survive is human. But to conquer?

Milia Fallyna Jenius, a Zentraedi warrior and elite pilot, faces a conflict that goes beyond combat. Caught between irreversible decisions, tested loyalties, and silences that carry their own weight, she must discover who she is when war no longer dictates the path forward. A story of humanity, war, love, identity, and choice.

A thousand years ago, Earth vanished. Ripped from its orbit by unknown forces, it was dragged across the void and bound to a mysterious purple star alongside sixteen other stolen worlds. The star became known as Papuru, and fear forged what diplomacy could not, an uneasy Coalition of planets desperate to understand their captivity and reclaim their lost skies. They never escaped. Instead, they adapted. Now, one thousand years later, the Coalition celebrates its survival through spectacle. Every ten years, the galaxy turns its attention to Coalition Carnage, a year-long, planet-spanning martial arts tournament where champions clash across worlds, environments, and impossible odds. For civilians, it is celebration. For Superstars, it is fame, fortune, and legend. For winning planets, it brings something far more valuable, blessings that keep entire civilizations alive. But Coalition Carnage was never just a tournament. Beneath the cheers, sponsorships, and hero worship lie truths the Coalition has buried for centuries. Secrets woven into the rules, the powers, and the very star that binds them together. Truths that, if uncovered, could unravel the Papuru system itself and erase every stolen world in a single, final catastrophe. This is a space opera about power, survival, and the cost of entertainment. Featuring superpowered combat, planetary politics, rival champions, and the long shadow of a mystery older than human history. The 100th Coalition Carnage is about to begin. Some will win. Some will die. And some will learn what the Papuru Star truly is.

The problem with learning to much information is it can turn you from good to evil. It can take when you originally believed and make you question everything. An overpowering government. A gladiator forced to compete. A scribe forced to transcribe and record information. Three forces. Two paths. One outcome.

However, the best thing you can do is start over new and embrace anonymity, new horizons, more opportunity. Until, that is, the holder of the lien on your life cold calls you home -- now what? Act like you didn't get the call? Take a third shot at redemption? Or better yet -- do something bold and reclaim your life? Only if you've got the guts to own it - but you just may end up dead, for real this time.

When the Dark Phoenix chose self-sacrifice to save the X-Men, she expected the cold embrace of death. Instead, the Phoenix Force-refusing to let its host perish-tears Jean Grey through the fabric of the multiverse, dropping her into the cold, metal graveyard of a galaxy at war. Jean awakens in the brig of the Battlestar Pegasus, a ship governed by iron discipline and the ruthless will of Admiral Helena Cain. To Cain, Jean is a miracle weapon-a living goddess who can incinerate Cylon Basestars with a thought. To Jean, Cain is a mirror: a woman who has sacrificed her humanity on the altar of survival. In the claustrophobic corridors of a ship fleeing extinction, an impossible attraction ignites. As Jean struggles to keep the hunger of the Phoenix at bay, she finds herself drawn to the Admiral's unyielding strength. But Helena Cain doesn't just want an ally-she wants the fire. Between bloody raids, Cylon ambushes, and the moral decay of a desperate fleet, two of the most dangerous women in the stars must decide: Will their love be the spark that saves humanity, or the solar flare that finally consumes it?

She never asked to lead. She never wanted to be followed. Now, across countless worlds, they call her goddess. Set in a fractured galactic empire after interstellar war, this is a long-form space opera exploring transhumanism, faith, and power across multiple confirmed realities. In the wake of cataclysm, a reluctant figure rises from the ashes of war. Linuka-soldier, survivor, symbol-becomes the unexpected catalyst for something unprecedented: a belief system that spans not just worlds, but entire realities. As her image ascends, so does a movement-one that grows into the first true multiversal religion. You don't need to have read the Galacticide trilogy to begin here. But you're stepping into a universe decades in the making-rich with history, conflict, and consequence. This is a new beginning, and a bold saga in its own right: the rise, rule, and eventual unraveling of an idea powerful enough to unite, or destroy, all that remains. Goddess of the Galacticide blends space opera with psychological drama, mythology, and political warfare on a cosmic scale. Whether you're just arriving or have walked these ruined galaxies before-welcome. The next age begins now.

When the UNSC Spirit of Fire drifts through a localized Slipspace rupture, Captain James Cutter and the legendary Spartans of Red Team expect to wake up in a galaxy at war with the Covenant. Instead, they find themselves orbiting a silent, scarred Earth-two centuries after a nuclear apocalypse. In this epic crossover, the high-tech precision of the 26th-century UNSC collides with the brutal, lawless reality of the Fallout universe. From the irradiated ruins of the Capital Wasteland to the neon-soaked sands of the Mojave, Jerome-092 and his team must navigate shifting alliances with the Brotherhood of Steel, the NCR, and the mysterious Institute. But as the "Star-Fallen Angels" begin to heal the planet with terraforming technology, they awaken a threat far greater than Raiders or Super Mutants: an ancient, automated defense system and a ghost from their own future. Can a ship from the stars save a world that has already ended? Or will the Spirit of Fire become just another relic in the graveyard of history?

When Commander Jane Shepard is struck by a pulse of ancient, cosmic energy from a Prothean beacon on Eden Prime, she doesn't just receive a vision of the galaxy's destruction-she becomes the host for the Phoenix Force, a primordial entity of rebirth and absolute destruction. As the Reaper threat looms, Shepard finds herself locked in a dual war: one against Saren Arterius and his synthetic army, and a much more dangerous struggle within her own soul. The Phoenix offers the power to incinerate the Reapers and rewrite the laws of physics, but it demands a terrifying price. With every battle, the line between the disciplined N7 soldier and the "Dark Phoenix" blurs. From the volcanic ruins of Therum to the suicide mission beyond the Omega-4 Relay, Shepard must lead a crew of legends while fighting the urge to simply burn the galaxy clean. Can she remain the hearth that protects her team, or will the Reapers be the least of the galaxy's worries when the Sun finally wakes up?
