Jovian Eclipse

 


Jovian Eclipse


In an era where Earth has become a distant painful memory, the descendants of those fortunate to have fled had taken with them more than just their lives memories and pain, war followed them. For the tragedy of Earth was but the first chapter in an ongoing struggle for dominance over the minds of Humanity. Mining bases have gone dark, squadrons of warships carry out wargames while the droning masses are fed a copious diet of propaganda. Beings beyond imagining, some pawns in this great game, are waiting for the coming collapse. As pieces move into place, whisper turns to rumor as thoughts become reality, zero hour approaches. In the chaos and mass confusion the Jupiter Sector orders the thawing of a young woman from stasis. It is her first day awake since the war. It is the year 2412, and nothing will be the same, again.

Perfect Justice: House of Lords

 

Perfect Justice: House of Lords


The Primm, an alien race from the other side of the galaxy. Both the males and females of the species are beautiful, erotic, and physically irresistible to any one in their presence. Their civilization is a hive-mind culture of queens and drones that thrive and procreate by consuming life in all its forms. Taralorians are ancient enemies of the Primm Empire. They are a coalition of various species working together as planet builders and creators of star systems. Centuries ago, Primm agents uncovered news of a lone planet in the uncharted Alpha quadrant with billions of new genetic prospects available, rich with diversity and high-grade genetic versatility. New life, ripe, and ready for harvesting. Taralorians discovered the Primm's presence on Earth and the savagery, suffering, plagues, and feedings the various hives brought with them. Taralor sent one Taran to stop the evil and conquer Earth for the Taralorian Empire. Despite his advanced technology, super intelligence, and physical skills, one lone man has no chance to take out such a daunting threat. He seeks help from the most unlikely sources imaginable and creates a powerful weapon against the most alluring evil mankind has ever encountered. A new war will be waged with the unlikeliest crew ever assembled; the evil they face is absolute, and the laws of men do not apply. Sing Iman is about to drop Omega quadrant justice on those who would feed on mankind. Hinduism and Buddhism describe karma as a force generated by a person's actions, which perpetuates transmigration that determines their destiny. Karma makes friends with no one but garners plenty of die-hard fans. Lord Iman will bring karma to Earth, and karma is the Perfect Justice.

Riley White feels like the unluckiest man on earth. Left to take care of his sister after their parents died, Riley has been beaten down by the system his entire life, working dead-end job after dead-end job, watching bills pile up and his bank account dwindle. Just when he hits rock bottom on a cold November night, Riley’s life would change forever.

Riley receives an unexpected offer to work for the mysterious Aerodyne corporation, the company where his father used to work. Though his father had warned him to stay away from the company, this job seemed to be the answer to all of Riley’s problems. But, as he would quickly learn, if something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Riley quickly learns that everything is not as it seems at Aerodyne. His new job is far stranger – and far more dangerous – than he had originally thought. As Riley digs into Aerodyne’s secrets, he learns the truth behind his father’s tragic death. He quickly realizes that he and his sister are in grave danger from the shadowy corporation, and must find a way to escape their clutches.

Can Riley protect them both from the terrifying secrets the Aerodyne corporation has been hiding from the world? Or will he fall into darkness, suffering the same fate as his father?

The Four Lives of Robinson Appleson

 


The Four Lives of Robinson Appleson


Can a killer turn a new leaf? 
Robinson Appleson is one lucky bastard!
We get only one life. He has had four so far.
And it's not like he deserved them, either. 

In his first life, he was a Porcian prince who was known to devour humans. His obsession with eternal youth and beauty made him addicted to the
taste of human flesh, much to the dismay and terror of his kingdom's subjects.

Reborn as a rich kid in Beverly Hills, California, he has no recollection of his past life and thinks of himself as a blessing to mankind. He holds no respect or feelings for women and treats them like objects. It leads to everyone avoiding him like the plague.

His third life is different, as he is born as a jaguar in the African savannah. Filled with new wisdom, he fights against his instinct to hunt while the smell of prey drives him mad with hunger. 

His last life lands him in the body of a beautiful but poverty-stricken Black woman who was also unfaithful!

Each of his lives has been different from the last, except that it looked as if he was doomed to make the same blunders. The woman he loves dies in his arms in all of his lives, because of a curse placed on his family.

Having been selfish and cruel in his previous lives, he attempts to change this forever. Using a range of tricks learned from Oscar, his mentor, he hopes to suppress and destroy the evil lurking inside him.
Would he manage to escape from his fate?
