The Wild & Zany Galactic Adventures of Commander Zhang & Lieutenant Simon, Soul Mates Who Incarnate on Earth and Save the World

About The Wild & Zany Galactic Adventures of Commander Zhang & Lieutenant Simon, Soul Mates Who Incarnate on Earth and Save the World:

Commander Zhang (ZhangZHXO511) and Lieutenant Simon (SimonGJXO1129) are two easygoing and fun-loving Sirian galactic officers who also happen to be soul mates assigned to the Mothership Athena. Galactic adventurers, the pair travel on various assignments around the galaxy as part of the Athena’s Science and Exploration team and manage to get themselves into all sorts of quirky situations and trouble. Prior to taking some much-needed time off at the famed Retreat and Spa in Arcturus after a particularly harrowing assignment, the duo hear Gaia’s (planet Earth) clarion call for help. Bogged down from thousands of years of low vibe human shenanigans, Gaia needs a little help ascending. Being decorated officers, the duo decides to provide assistance by incarnating as earth humans as part of Mission Everlight.
Coming in as modern day handsome and popular male models/actors/singers/brand
ambassadors, their mission is to reveal the very real and serious corruption within the performing arts industry in the world’s most populated and internet-savvy country – China. But what happens when only one soul mate wakes up and the other is still asleep?

This wildly entertaining ride through space and time is loosely based on the real-life drama of popular Chinese Actor/Singer Zhang Zhehan and his costar Actor/Model Simon Gong Jun. Chock full of spiritual wisdom, The Galactic Adventures of Commander Zhang & Lieutenant Simon is a zany, comical, M/M, BL romance, epic sci-fi adventure, and a paean song for awakening starseeds to never forget their roots and the many gifts and abilities they bring to aid Gaia with ascending.

The Adventures of Kirk Rogers

About The Adventures of Kirk Rogers:

An overconfident pilot with a stolen spaceship must fix an alien device before time runs out. The Newtonians came to Earth two thousand years ago looking for a place to call home. Earth was perfect except its Sun had a fatal flaw that needed to be corrected. Once it was fixed, they were free to abandon their ship and leave it to orbit the planet below. Earthlings commonly refer to it as The Moon.

For two thousand years, Sheldor was nothing more than a highly intelligent computer program that maintained every function of Atlantis. It was a very boring and predictable job that was the same, day in, and day out. The monotony didn’t bother him, nor was he aware that it was an utterly boring life. He didn’t long for change or wonder when it will all end, he just did his job.

It wasn’t until an asteroid slammed into the side of the ship that his life changed in a dramatic way. The damage that followed prevented him from carrying out an important task. A task that would save the Earth below. Part of his programming required him to ensure the survival of the Newtonians and the many generations that followed after them.

The asteroid caused a cave-in deep inside a cannon that was supposed to fire photon particles into the volatile sun and correcting its flaw. The cannon required fixing but his figurative hands were tied. He needed someone with enough Newtonian blood to unlock his controls so that he could make the repairs. He was forced to use the satellites in Earth’s orbit to scan the planet below for possible candidates that he could teleport to the inside of the ship. But the process was imperfect.
That’s how Laura Rogers ended up inside the moon making friends with a giant spider and a man called The Dangerous One. Kirk always looked after his little sister and he would do anything to find her. Including, steal a spaceship. If you like Star Trek and Star Wars, The Kirk Rogers Series celebrates all things scifi with some familiar themes while having a unique story of its own. Don’t worry, even if you don’t catch all the subtle hints or Easter Eggs, it doesn’t take anything away from the story. I hope you enjoy the series as much as I do, and thanks for reading!

Ruthless Positivity by Avery Blake

About Featured Book: Ruthless Positivity by Avery Blake

This book will be free from 8/28/2022 through 9/7/2022

TWO PEOPLE SEEKING ESCAPE IN A VIRTUAL WORLD

In eScape, Kam has it all — a body that works, beautiful friends, her own space, and a wealth of stolen credits. In the real world, she’s terminally ill and living in the rundowns, a place where hope goes to die.

In the real world, Lyle seems to have it all. As the son of a famous self-help guru, Julia Grace, strangers envy his perfect life and perfect relationship with his mother. Nobody knows the torture she’s put him through. All Lyle wants is the escape of anonymity in eScape — where he can be himself by hiding behind an avatar.

CONNECTED BY TRAGEDY, DESPERATE FOR LOVE

When Kam and Lyle meet, they each might be the escape the other is looking for.

But Kam can never let Lyle see the REAL her or the hovel she lives in. If he realizes she’s a criminal who’s stolen everything she has, he’ll leave her.

She has no idea Lyle is lying, too – caught in a web of his mother’s manipulations. Each of them loses everything if they tell the truth – but admitting their lies could get them killed.

And not even eScape can protect them from what’s coming.

Ruthless Positivity is a new stand-alone SciFi Thriller from Avery Blake, author of Vicarious Joe, Family Royale, and Analog Heart.

EMPTY OF NOTHING by K. Leigh

EMPTY OF NOTHING by K. Leigh

A brand new adult lgbt+ sci-fi novella about Sentient AI, unjust systems and finding love in a broken world.

A man wakes up alone in a surreal world of white rooms, small plants, cube-shaped food, curious tables and electronic dictionaries that hijack into neck ports. There is nothing here but empty space, empty people and the daily on/off grind. You’re born alone, feel only what you’re programmed to, hunt for your missing piece, die after coupling, and that’s that.

Or at least, that’s how it’s supposed to play out. There’s just one problem: The unnamed protagonist Lacks nothing and feels enough for several thousand lifetimes. He’s an Error. Burdened with self-awareness and insanity, our brave/broken hero battles an absurd world with nonsensical rules until he meets someone like him. A person, a destiny, a memory, or maybe a promise, the two struggle in a closed system hell-bent on keeping them in-line. For what purpose? It’s complicated.

Let’s just say nothing is what it seems and maybe the machines really will save humanity from its ultimate enemy: Itself.

“The Revolution is Coming!”
“An Outlawed Colony Thriller!”

Newlyweds on a distant colony are thrust into a mutiny. Can Mathias and Ivette stop a colony uprising and still keep their newly adopted children safe?

Mathias and Ivette were sent to earth to learn about Portal Technology. When they brought back the codes to reach the other outlawed colonies, their bosses were ecstatic.

While their families were glad they had returned, a few members weren’t elated to learn the pair had adopted seven cloned toddlers. Not all the colonists are happy with Arcadia’s status quo either, and a rebellion is brewing. Mathias is horrified to discover his older brother is in league with the rebels. Does he betray his brother to save his family and his colony?

The rebels are furious when Mathias and Ivette move into the house she inherited from her grandmother. They have other plans for Ivette’s property, and having her, Mathias, and their new family move in isn’t part of those plans. When their home is invaded by the rebel army, Mathias and Ivette must not only protect their new children but defeat the conspirator’s as well.

The Evolution Trilogy by Todd Borho

About Featured Book: The Evolution Trilogy by Todd Borho

What could a moral and spiritual evolution away from a coercion-based society and towards a voluntary society look like? The Evolution Trilogy creates a universe where just a few individuals taking right action to evade and erode the state can have profound effects. Part one of the trilogy is a near-future, sci-fi comedy spoof of the James Bond franchise, in which James Bong and his ragtag group of anarchists, armed with The Truth, techie tricks, and a full spread of crypto currencies, attempt to wake people up to the true meaning of anarchy. This part of the trilogy is written in t.v. script form for a quick, action-packed read. Part two is a high seas adventure called “SeAgora”. This takes place about 50 years after the James Bong conclusion. A thriving anarchist seasteading agora faces increasing aggression from government mafias.

Can a young scientist unlock the secrets of faster-than-light propulsion to help the agorists escape to space? Throw in some shape-shifting artificial intellect characters, betrayal, and some power-mad A.I. dictators, and you’ve got a recipe for supreme adventure. Part three, “Agora One”, takes place 500 years after SeAgora. Anarchists from across multiple galaxies are active in a loose, voluntary agora, with jaw-dropping tech and physics-defying speeds. But what happens when the wrong tech reaches a group of statist, alien space pirates?
