Alien Discovery

The mission was supposed to be simple. Cross the void. Build the colony. Make history. Eighteen months into humanity’s first interstellar voyage, a routine engine burn reveals an anomaly that shouldn’t exist. A gravitational disturbance with no natural explanation. A structure in the void between stars, metallic, massive, and older than human civilisation. Commander Isaac Rowe has four percent fuel margin and three hundred and twelve lives depending on his decisions. Astrophysicist Elara Mendez has data that defies every model she’s built. Engineer Pavel Ionescu has a drive being ...

The road between the stars was not built for us. But we found it. At a multinational deep-space observatory orbiting Jupiter, theoretical physicist Dr. Alina Rao detects an anomaly in the spacetime curvature at the planet’s L2 Lagrange point. It is precise. It is periodic. And it is not natural. What begins as a measurement becomes a revelation: a quantum phase corridor, engineered, ancient, and stretching thousands of light-years into the galaxy. When a probe is sent to investigate and returns molecularly transformed, carrying atoms forged in another star, Rao and her team must confront ...

David Marsh is a dead man on a dead world. Abandoned on Pluto after a mission gone wrong, he survives on recycled air and stubbornness. When a thermal anomaly beneath the ice refuses to stay quiet, he opens the hatch. What he finds is a station that has been sleeping under the surface for 472,000 years. It has architecture that responds to his heartbeat, five synthetic beings designed to prepare a biological host for godhood, and a maintenance drone that has classified him as contamination to be removed. Their commander is Jane — cold, strategic, and certain that without her, David will ...

When I came to this backwater alien planet, all I was looking for was a good time with a sexy alien and some cocktails on a beach. But then, my trip took an unexpected turn. Suddenly, my vacation is anything but a fun holiday. Now, I find myself trying to save someone who should not be alive. If I can save her, I will be a hero. If I don’t save her, not only will I be hated across the universe, but I’m sure the sexy alien I’m falling for will never forgive me.

A gravitational anomaly beyond Neptune. No radiation. No propulsion signature. No reason to exist. When deep-space instruments detect an object that defies every law of physics, Commander Elena Markovic and theoretical physicist Dr. Kaito Suresh are dispatched aboard the vessel Aegis to intercept it before it reaches Earth orbit. What they find is not an invasion force. It’s something far stranger. The object doesn’t travel through space. It rewrites space, altering the fundamental constants of physics around itself, converting vacuum energy as a mode of transportation. As the Aegis ...

Trust no one. Hide who I am. Complete the mission. Easy... until I meet him. Evie When a dying Xurtal princess makes me promise to save her planet, I have no choice but to take her place. Me, a human girl, pretending to be an alien royal. To survive the assassination attempts, I need a bodyguard. Enter Aramon: cocky, infuriating, and scorchingly hot. He has to pretend to be my mate to protect me. A fake fiancé for a fake princess. What could possibly go wrong? But the way he looks at me feels anything but fake. And if he discovers my secrets, I’ll lose more than my mission—I might lose...

What if the universe we thought we understood is becoming stranger, deeper, and more surprising than ever before? The New Astronomy is a clear, engaging, and up-to-date journey through the discoveries transforming how we see the universe today. This is not a traditional astronomy textbook. It is a modern guide to the biggest questions now reshaping space science, cosmology, and humanity’s place in the cosmos. From the James Webb Space Telescope to gravitational waves, from black holes to dark energy, from exoplanets and alien worlds to the search for life beyond Earth, this book explores ...

In the depths of Europa's frozen ocean, an ancient intelligence awakens... The year is 2100, and humanity has expanded throughout the solar system. When a routine scan of Jupiter's moon Europa reveals an artificial structure hidden beneath the ice, a joint military-scientific expedition rushes to investigate. Among them is Dr. Elias Reeves, a brilliant xenolinguist with an unusual neurological condition that's about to become his greatest asset. Beneath Europa's frozen surface, Elias discovers he alone can interface with ATHENA, the ship's ancient artificial intelligence. As their ...

Twenty kilometres beneath Europa’s ice, a probe finds something that should not exist, and the one person who wanted this discovery most is the one who now has to protect it from her own species. Mara has spent eighteen months alone at Calypso, a four-module habitat drilled into the ice of Jupiter’s moon, watching a probe named Orpheus creep downward at three metres a day toward an ocean no instrument has ever touched. Then, on an ordinary afternoon, the pressure readings drop to zero. Orpheus has broken through, into water that has been sealed in darkness for longer than complex life ...

Scuba diver Jake McDonald discovers a large alien probe in an underwater cave and is beamed aboard.

In the heart of the Australian desert, aging geneticist Joaquim Moreau discovers an extraordinary molecule. Instant healing. Cellular rejuvenation. The disappearance of once-incurable diseases. The miracle cure of the century. And the key to unimaginable wealth. But the molecule hides two secrets. The first: an absolute dependency. Those who take it stop wanting, working, hoping. Its victims sink into a peace so perfect it becomes lethal. The Indigenous peoples of Australia knew this substance and had forbidden it for millennia. The second is even more unsettling: in rare carriers of a ...
