The time has come. The story begins again... more>>

Five thousand years ago, Amneris Topanga sealed Enliatu in the Void, the place between places where no one can return from. Though she didn't know it at the time, ten items had the magic of the spell imprinted on their forms. Once found by Amneris, they were hidden across Creation in the hope they would never be found again, they would never be used.

A new threat has risen to the Dark Throne of Terpola, causing the hunt for the ten items to begin. The stakes: Enliatu's freedom and the destruction of Creation as he brings in the Age of Darkness - the mission he failed to complete five thousand years ago.

Amneris her her Court must retrieve the items before the Terpolites can free their old Ruler, only things are never that easy when it comes to keeping the Balance. And the items aren't the only thing the Terpolites are after this time.

Will our heroes put a stop to the new threat?

Synopsis:
The lingering mystery of a destroyed planet threatens to unravel the Commonwealth. Lacking answers, the alien races of its constituency—Humanity among them—grow restless.

Captain and Fleet veteran Dash Anderton wants a crew, a contract, and to be left alone. Fate lands him in the spotlight when he accidentally saves renowned alien singers—and revolutionary covert agents—Sisters Celescia from deadly operatives of their oppressive homeworld government. The regime seeks secession from the Commonwealth against the wishes of its population. A move that risks a cascading exodus of other member states and a collapse of galactic order.

Recruited into the troupe, the singers and crew discover an insidious conspiracy to defeat the Commonwealth. With the Commonwealth’s diplomatic fleet inbound and time running out, the Z Team must battle ruthless assassins, outwit scheming officials, and confront ghosts of the past to salvage peace on the edge of collapse and save countless lives—including their own.

Blending The Expanse, Mass Effect, The Collapsing Empire, and The Fifth Element, this book is perfect for fans of science fiction and those new to the genre.

“You sure about this?” I looked dubiously up at the towering gate in front of us, surrounded by trees.... more>>

Hector shrugged. “Did you have another destination in mind?”

“Not a city?” I suggested without much hope.

Hector narrowed his eyes at me. “Where else do you suggest we find work? We’re soldiers. Besides, this one has trees. I thought you liked trees.”

I scowled up at the massive redwoods like they had personally offended me. “Cities don’t deserve trees.”

At that moment, I never would have guessed that I would still be there two years later, holding the rank of Captain and investigator, willing to lose everything for the people within its walls, and plunged into a conspiracy that threatened to take all that I loved. <<less

Is she serving her country? Or is she just a pawn in a great game?

Orivar is a web novel series set in the distant future. Humanity has all but mastered the exotic material known as omnium, the most common of which is called orivar: the original variety. That clear crystal is a transmuter of mass and energy, and the very existence of contemporary Civilized Space depends on it.

Deep Black, the first book in the series, begins a classic story of light versus darkness. A novel variety of omnium–one with the potential of sending Civilized Space crashing down–is stolen from a research station just beyond the Federation border. Atara Korrell, a retired Navy captain, is called to command the fastest starship ever made to chase the thieves and retrieve the stolen sample. Meanwhile, enemies both near and far vie for the omnium sample and the advanced technology powering her ship. Can Atara remain loyal in the face of seeming betrayal?

You ever play the game, The Long Dark?... more>>

GO play it. It is by hinterland games. It is an AWESOME game, if you like frozen, FPS survival games. The focus is on survival. It is a harsh game where you are the last surviving man or woman on a frozen earth after the sun goes crazy and destroys all technology with continuous EMP bursts. It is like wandering a beautiful watercolor painting that periodically tries to murder you.

I absolutely loved the game.

I put in over 2000 hours and survived with one character for 1000 days. I put in a mod that stopped the earth from rotating so the sun never rose again and it got down to -100 degrees Celsius. It is one of the few games where the harder you make it, the more fun it is. Well, it is for me.

So I started writing a story from the point of view of my character. There is one building that is the HARDEST base to have. The Quonset Garage. It is surrounded by violence, but if you are good with a bow, it is actually surrounded by MEAT. The saying in the game goes, The wolves want to eat you, the bears want to kill you, but the moose want you to SUFFER.

The Quonset Garage has all three.

But as I wrote the story, it evolved and changed and became sort of philosophical collection of musings. The Origin Of The Quonset Manager became a sort of Eldritch Horror story over time with all sorts of things and ideas and concepts. There is a reason the story took such a dark turn which I explain half way through, but in this version, I will move why I wrote the story to the end. It is a bit dated, but I want you to get the full effect. I won't edit the story. I am including it, errors and all, as is.

However, the story also has a number of, shall we say, Foundational Myths of the Eldritch-Verse.

When you read this I want you to look at it from the point of view as if you were a traveler. A transmigrator bouncing through life after life, traveling through a strange and bizarre cosmos, just trying to figure out what is going on in the bigger picture. Then, you find this collection of papers. They seem to be i no particular order, but what you DO know is, the local government is trying very hard to destroy every copy of this collection.

Someone doesn't want the truth known.

And so, having visited a number of shady and unusual bookstores, you find a copy of this... manuscript. he person selling it simply explains it is cursed and that you shouldn't take it. When you insist, he asks what you are willing to pay and takes it without haggling. Upon you paying the agreed upon price, he immediately pushed you out the door, turns the sign around to read, 'CLOSED', and turns off the light. You retire to the home of your most recently occupied body and find a quiet spot to consume your newly acquired prize. As you read, at first it seems to be nothing more than the ramblings of a madman, but over time, he reveals knowledge that, simply put...

He should not have. <<less
