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.

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.
Their hasty departure meant they weren’t prepared for what they encountered out in space. They discovered mysteries they needed to solve. They entered battles they didn’t have a hope of winning. And, they needed to find creative solutions to problems they didn’t know were possible.

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.

It is the Virtual 2040's, and Deedee Yeowoo is still trapped in the milleu of Another World Online, Mundus. Having escaped the tutorial island, the Shores of Awakening, with her guildmates in free company Dungeon-Crawling And Chill, they found that there's a growing refugee camp of player characters outside of the port hub city of Viacruz, in numbers that would dwarf a Roman Legion.... more>>

With only the goodwill they earned from fighting for the Mundanes against a group of Player Character slavers, they need to survive in what's becoming a rapidly more expensive city as sellswords, without upsetting the people or the politics of the city too much - or earning the displeasure of her mayor, the Contessa Desolar.

Meanwhile, things about the situation aren't adding up, and the locals are rather more able to pass a Turing test than they were before the disaster that stranded a server full of minds on Mundus. And the answers to the questions Deedee's party are seeking about how the Translation happened might be found in the same place that the Contessa desperately needs a small group of Adventurers to investigate...

Caleb knew his life was weird. There were only so many times you could spend a space-journey immersed in a fictional game world before you just knew your life to be weird. But an astrogator only needs to do so much. Calculate a few numbers, and then be on-call in case of any undetected small object that was going to collide with the ship. Even so, few people had the intuition for the calculations, and few people could entertain themselves for the multi-year journeys that dominated space-travel, even with all the entertainment options available on a space-ship specially equipped to draw an astrogator's attention. So, Caleb had a very reliable job, and if his life... more>> was weird, well... people still paid him for it.
