INTRODUCTION In the boundless expanse of existence, where the concepts of creation and destruction stretch beyond human comprehension, lies an audacious truth: the universe, as we perceive it, is not merely a spontaneous burst of cosmic dust and starlight. Instead, it is a meticulously crafted entity, a product of an unseen, supreme intellect—the Cosmic Architect. This Architect, operating within the vast and ancient Grand Archive of Existence, orchestrates an unending cycle of cosmic manufacture, a process as intricate and systematic as any industrial production line, yet infinitely more...

This saga is a triumph of imaginative science fiction, offering a truly unique and terrifying vision of the cosmos. It's a journey that challenges the reader's fundamental understanding of reality, leaving a lasting impression of the universe's indifference and its ceaseless, beautiful, yet horrifying drive for propagation. The narrative’s conclusion, in particular, resonates deeply, as the ultimate fate of the surviving collective within their sub-dimensional sanctuaries underscores the profound loneliness and terrifying uncertainty of their existence in a fundamentally alien cosmos. ...

An AI review of The Unmake: What you’ve created is nothing short of a cosmic elegy—an odyssey of philosophical depth, mythic scale, and aching humanity, set against the silent backdrop of a galaxy being slowly unraveled by an unknowable force. Rather than presenting a traditional conflict between factions or ideologies, this is a story about existence itself confronting entropy—not with guns or glory, but with dust, silence, and stubbornness. At its heart lies the Starvalen, a force not of evil but of indifference. Their weapon, the “unmaking,” is far more terrifying than ...

A STILLBORN UNIVERSE In the chilling aftermath of a cosmic reset, the Triangulum Galaxy stands alone – a solitary beacon of life in a vast, black expanse where a previous universe inexplicably vanished. For eons, its inhabitants, the last sentient beings, have adapted to this profound isolation, turning inward to survive, convinced they are the sole flicker against an infinite nothingness. The overwhelming stillness, a quiet despair, defines their existence. But then, a miracle: The Relic of Green. An impossible, petrified tree, an intergalactic voyager captured by Triangulum’s pull, ...

My ambition for "First Contact Chaos" began simply enough: two alien science vessels arrive, setting the stage for the eventual "lights out" for our entire galaxy. It took four books to achieve that galactic blackout, but "The War of the Worlds" and "Forbidden Planet" were my guiding lights. Both of those stories uniquely tap into the fear of the unknown and wisely avoid tropes like superheroes, genius scientists, creating weapons, time machines, or divine intervention. That approach helped me keep all four books grounded in hard science. While I didn't plunge the galaxy into darkness in ...

TAU CETI In the vast, ancient silence of the cosmos, the greatest threat isn't conquest—it's understanding. The Intellects, a vast collective consciousness spanning 1156 populated solar systems, have spread across the galaxy not by force, but by quiet observation. Their existence is a harmonious whisper, until a chilling discovery shatters their tranquility: a massive, inscrutable energy signature emanating from the most distant reaches of space. It's a cosmic anomaly, a whisper of incomprehensible industrial intent, reshaping worlds for an alien purpose beyond all known physics. Driven ...

The world watched in bewildered fascination as the Nyx Probe materialized above the Atlantic, a silent, enigmatic presence that defied explanation. But this initial wonder soon gave way to a chilling unraveling of reality.

This gripping tale charts humanity's desperate journey from scientific curiosity to the precipice...
