Shu Haize really isn’t interested, but what was supposed to be a short excursion to locate his only friend has led to something he never signed up for. He wants to escape its grasps – wherever it's confining him – so he’s walking, roaming, heading nowhere in particular but he’s moving, letting loose in the adrenaline of battle.

There’s a cemetery of stars tonight. Shu has never had any affinity to stargazing so when he looks up, he’s hollow and lost in its immensity. Then he’s finding companions, all of them unfamiliar, and one in the form of raven hair and amused amber eyes.

“Hello?” His lips curve. “What a coincidence.” <<less

Characters are named for bronze age cultures present in Italy, because I couldn't think of a better naming scheme. Cover image is just the flag of the 18th century Roman Republic. I felt a tricolour would be fitting, but France would be too blatant, and I'm already using italian-ish names. So, the flag of a Napoleonic puppet state in Italy! As with most of the stuff I publish to this site, this is terribly pretentious. You have been warned.

A group of three soldiers are tasked to scout an island which was overrun by undeads weeks ago in search of suplies. More importantly they must find out if the place is safe enough to finally settle a base of operation and repair the ship. But immediatly after landfall, the island seemed a bit too... quiet. ... more>>

(A/N) This is a small story inspired by Pr1vateLime's series on kingsmouth island challenge (made in the game project zomboid) and a "what if" about the reaction of some normal dudes in front of Claudette's insane achievement.

It is best read after having read up to at least the end of chapter 23 of the main story, though chapter 30 is more preferable. Yet, this short may also stand alone on its own merits if you wish it to.

Trillion wasn’t expecting to have her mind uploaded into a spaceship today. But it happened and now there’s no turning back for her and three others.
The four of them now travel through space, looking for new worlds to terraform - looking to build A New Eden.

Should I read this book?:
YES. If you like a good sci-fi space adventure that’s a mix of action/mystery/thriller/science. No ‘lit-RPG’ here.

_Content Warnings_
* Mind control / conditioning - which means it is essentially noncon. (Characters do mostly consent, but that doesn't mean much when you've been brainwashed).
* BDSM - particularly immobilisation by detaching artificial limbs. (I am disabled, if that affects the speed at which I go to hell.)
* General threats of torture
* Background incidental forcefem
* Depiction of future warfare - in particular utter unconcern for noncombatants. (War remains generally problematic).

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.

Content:
Consider this book to be a light-R rating. There is swearing, mostly intended for humorous effect, sci-fi violence that isn't gratuitous, and light references to sexual activity. <<less

The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

Yet, underneath this “Gemeinplatzer Dream” is a disgusting truth.

To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various magical spells.

In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started. <<less
