Human Colonies

OUT OF TIME – LAUNCH POINT (Book 1) A colony ship launches toward humanity’s hope… and arrives four centuries too late. In 2258 the Aurora leaves Saturn’s shipyards carrying hundreds of scientists, colonists, and the frozen genetic archive of an entire civilization. Their destination: Kepler-452 b, an Earth-class world 1 400 light-years away. Thanks to antimatter drives and a bleeding-edge Alcubierre warp bubble, the one-way trip will take the crew just twelve subjective months… while millennia race by back home. Captain Aveline Morrow leads a hand-picked team: John Ferris – ...

The arrangement was supposed to be simple. No feelings. No family. And definitely no permanent claiming. I’m done playing the perfect daughter. When my family’s iron grip threatened to turn my life into a corporate merger, I struck a deal with the only man as desperate as I was: Lieutenant Kael Theron. He’s an uptight, infuriatingly proper Vraxian officer whose career just hit a dead end, and he needs a fiancée to save his reputation. The plan was easy—fake the engagement, buy some breathing room, and walk away clean. Except nothing about Kael is "clean." He’s rigid. Controlled. ...

In The Last City Under Glass, Noemi Strake repairs the dome that keeps millions alive beneath a poisoned atmosphere.

You are going to love this book as it will most certainly eliminate many of the questions you are having about the Old Testament of the Bible. Unlike what you possibly were told, there are actually 12 different Genesis books written during ancient times. Some were source books for Moses writing his version, but all have been accepted in one way or another by Christian groups around the world. By Cross-comparison, instead making up missing potions, we follow the Apostle Paul's command to read "All SCRIPTURES FOR ENLIGHTENMENT". Don't push truth away truth for comfort or desire to have ...

Editorial Review A chilling, slow-burn thriller that turns environmental collapse into relentless psychological terror, Silent Extinction grips readers from the first anomaly to its haunting final line. Fans of The Happening will recognize the quiet dread of a world failing without warning — but this story pushes the concept further, grounding the fear in procedural realism and human cost. The result is a disciplined, unsettling novel that lingers long after the last page, proving that the most terrifying disasters are the ones that unfold in silence. SILENT EXTINCTION A True Documented ...

A mercenary outcast with a perversion no one cared to think about. A holy leader, who knows her people are on the verge of great upheaval - and who wants to know more about this new tribe of demons. A battle-mother, possibly the greatest battle-mother who ever lived - if the rules of her tribe don't force her into a battle even she can't win. A keeper of the secrets of history who would control the tides of fate - if only she could. A paleobiologist with a terrible sense of humor. They are all revolutionaries, but none of them expected anything like what they're about to experience.

The Colony Blueprint: A Story of Human Survival and Socioeconomic Harmony By Alexious Fiero What if nature has already solved the very problem we’re trying to figure out? What if the secret to humanity’s survival—and our thriving future—is hidden in the organizational genius of the humble ant, the neural networks of slime molds, or the harmony of coral reefs? In The Colony Blueprint, visionary thinker Alexious Fiero reimagines humanity through the lens of biology, technology, economics, and consciousness—asking the bold question: What would it look like if humans chose to become a...

We forged a utopia, not from the rough-hewn labor of our hands, but from the cold fire of algorithms and the fever of desire. Decades past, humanity had woven itself into a singular rhythm, a heartbeat thrumming through the glittering expanse of a solar system we now dared to call our own. Mars prospered under our touch, its red dust cradled into gardens that bloomed under domes where lovers whispered and children laughed. Once bound to Earth’s fragile home, our lives now danced toward the stars—an invitation we met not with fear, but with a yearning that burned brighter than starlight....
