Dispatches From The Inter-Galactic is a series of loosely related satirical stories which take place in a galaxy full of various interstellar civilizations and numerous space-faring species generally described as consentients. It is set in a galaxy which is similar but not quite almost unlike the galactic setting of my other series Up in Space.... more>>

While there are numerous themes related to interstellar life, several of the stories directly relate to specific themes such as;

The pan-galactic ramifications to the use of supersymetrical energy sources (often drained from intera-located alternate and pocket realities.) the use of which by most interstellar civilizations is steadily increasing the overall amount of Dark Matter. This is increasing the mass of the galaxy and results in the occasional rips in inter-dimentional space as well as an overall increase in supernova activity. It is also speeding up the approach of the galaxy in Andromeda, which is of concern to several long lived civilizations;

The Morphoids, a race of shape-changing consentients who are capable of using the space lanes created by the use of supersymetrical sourced energy to spread throughout the galaxy. They are currently viewed as threat number one by many space-faring species;

and

Xeno and exo-sexuality, as many species try to figure out what sort of enjoyment they can have with many of the species they encounter in space (only some of which are carbon-based, or more rarely, humanoid in appearance). This also relates to the altering of species to make reproduction somewhat easier for those with rather complicated lifestyles. A major force in this area of pursuit is the galactic visiteering industry, which promotes the ‘uplifting’ of more primitive planet-bound near-consentients. <<less

To reach the peak of existence, to follow a Sentient Beings innate urge to Ascend to reach the realm of its beginning, to rule with... more>> wisdom, might, and longevity....What path must one choose? Is the path SCIENCE- innovation, research, and technology? Or is it MAGIC- to manifest phenomena, command and bend the laws of the world? Do you Kneel to the supreme beings and WORSHIP Gods and ask for enlightenment? Or do you look within and embrace the essence of your life to Will yourself to the top? Does NATURE hold the key? Will the universe pick its own path for you and give you a glimpse of the summit. This is POTESTERA!!! Where worlds and ideals of power clash, where nothing is certain except power and discord. Where only the strong survive, where only the strong LIVE! <<less

Forced into a world of unquestioned gods Faolon Jagger is snared into their schemes and ploys as a pawn destined for an unknown reason. Faolon Jagger is made to decide the fate of a universe he doesn’t even know existed. He has been deemed the savior by not only the gods of his universe, but also a harbinger of what is to come next, to the universe of another dimension.... more>>

Unluckily for Faolon, this means a lot of things he doesn’t want to do and that means he’s got to make himself do something worthwhile instead of being a lazy bum. Bound to make a choice that will shatter fate itself, he must discover the hidden blade of his dark ancestral past. The only blade capable of altering the course of time and those that were born from a grievous misdeed several thousand years prior, only to become whole again under his power, can he save all beings from the madness of one whom desires the universes to wither and die under their gaze.

That same being that destroyed the universe once before…has arisen yet again. <<less

Humanity has unlocked the stars, albeit in a strange way.

This is not that story. In fact, right now Darrius couldn't care in the least.

Darrius, who is quite literally the son of a sword, and born with great power, now seeks to make his own legacy and make him proud. To conquer those within his grasp and outside it, however, he'll need a lot more than a bit of talent and gusto.

"Death? Well, perhaps it's time to redefine it. Perhaps... a new post-mortem?"

I plan on using space exploration, hidden identity, and non-mainstream weapons in differing amounts.

Space exploration will happen, but only a bit at the beginning, and much more so later. Hidden identity will happen every now and then. What I'm most excited about is getting to use different ideas for weapons and other such things that aliens use and that humanity has adapted too! Can't wait to have fun with you guys!

Oh, and expect a lot of people's heads to get bashed in with a book. A really, really heavy book.
