Space Science Fiction

Seven years after the indomitable Doug Stavenger has realized his cherished dream of establishing a colony on the inhospitable lunar surface, Moonbase is a thriving community, a marvel of scientific achievement created and supported by nanotechnology: virus-sized machines that can build, cure, and destroy. But nanotechnology has been declared illegal by the home planet’s leaders, and a powerful despot is determined to lay claim to Stavenger’s peaceful city - or obliterate it, if necessary.

When I leave the colony for a day at the lively and exciting Frizian Outpost, I never expect my life to change forever. Again.

But when I see a wild and injured Madixx male, caged and tormented by his captors, all it takes is a single glance for me to know I won't rest until I free him. Should I believe this huge, wild man is capable of love, or should I ignore my heart and take what may be my last chance to return to my world?

Some believe alliances with other species can save them. Others insist humanity must fight alone. But no one has the firepower or technology to ensure victory, as the Architects loom ever closer.

Humanity's thousand-year-old interstellar empire has been rotting from the inside for over a century, thanks to venal, corrupt, and power-hungry sovereigns from a dynasty many consider illegitimate.

That rebellion quickly drags the once mighty Imperial Fleet into a devastating fratricidal conflict between factions.

The Veklocks require the Pyreans to explore the extent of the Colony's usurpation of domes. The Colony is composed of two insectoid species, the grays and the reds.

The Pyreans already lost one member of their team on their first exploration and are hesitant to meet the Colony again, unless they're better prepared.
