Book Description
Exploring the universe at the helm of a flashy ship was supposed to be the dream, but now it’s an ongoing nightmare for Noa. All but exiled from his loved ones, he’s too far away when they need him most. The guilt and stress has finally broken him, though, and he’s abandoned his mission to go home. But running from one horror sends him crashing into a new one. And this time, he can’t escape. It’s Noa Matene’s impeccable flight record which earns him the toughest missions the FGIA has to offer. But it’s also what keeps him confined to the farthest reaches of the known universe, separated from everyone he loves for months and years at a time. He’s well equipped to handle the solitude—until he has to watch from a distance while he nearly loses what’s most important to him. Broken by fear, he goes rogue to take back control of his life. He’s determined to make a change, no matter the consequences, to keep the promises he’s made, even if it means giving up a lifetime of work. There are more important things than missions and acclaim. Like the one he almost lost, the one who’s waiting for him. Everything he’s dreamed of is nearly in his grasp. Until his hopes and dreams come crashing down, along with his incapacitated ship. No longer a member of the Explorer corps, Skylar Chambers is happy as a navigation officer on the SB Eltanin. Spared the rigors and crushing loneliness of uncharted space, he prefers the more predictable routine of life on a base, with his daily expensive coffee habit and his small group of friends. His days aren’t exciting anymore, but he likes it that way. The only thing that would make life better would be having his best friend back in it, but Noa’s doing important work and Skylar would never ask him to give it up. When his happy mundane bubble bursts with the arrival of a couple of horrifying maydays, though, Skylar’s flung back into the chaotic whirlwind of space travel. Accepting the rescue mission which puts him back in the pilot’s seat, he hopes he can vanquish the mental demons which drove him out in the first place. This time, it’s more than his life on the line. Not even countless light years of space can keep these two souls apart. Noa and Skylar were always meant to be together, and neither of them is willing to succumb to the wild whims of fate. Despite their determination, though, circumstances beyond their control are sending them down the same fraught path their friends already trod. If history repeats itself, two more friends might go missing. They might never get home again. This work is intended for a mature audience and contains mature content.

Once the Greeks forced their male gods upon the world, the belief in the power of women was severed.

Meanwhile, she's just reconnected with the first and only love of her life, Argan—but Joshua, a dangerous, irresistible stranger, threatens to ruin everything she's trying to build. Amidst unraveling family secrets that shatter her views of the world and call into question everything she's ever known, Skylar must fight off Joshua's maddening pull and get a handle on her own budding powers—before it's too late.

Pages : 596
Book Description
The mission was simple—race to the mayday coordinates, rescue his best friend, and bring him home. But, like so much in Ethan’s life, simplicity is a luxury beyond his reach. He’s long been used to the untethered insanity of life as an Explorer, but never has he failed this badly. Never has the soulless void taken his credibility and someone he loved. Space had never broken him. Until now. At twenty-two with a promising career, an enviable piloting record, and the freedom to go anywhere in the universe, Ethan Ryker should have everything he could possibly want. Except he’s just lost the one person who grounded him and made the unbearable loneliness of endless space tolerable. More alone than he’s ever been, he’s now trapped on the starbase Eltanin, suffering through the grief and mental trauma that’s robbed him of the authorization to pilot a starcruiser. Even worse, he’s been assigned a partner he doesn’t like, can’t relate to, and doesn’t want invading his personal life. The LIAM program is supposed to help pilots just like him cope with loss and stress, but all Ethan wants to do is get back in his cruiser and leave all his issues behind. Too bad running away from his problems isn’t an option. LIAM-622 is the promising first production model of a groundbreaking new type of autonomous metahuman. After centuries of research in artificial intelligence, he’s the culmination of the latest advances in humanoid technology, built as a sympathetic companion for a human partner. His purpose is to address the deteriorating mental health of traumatized Galactic Explorers, enabling them to heal and return to their missions. He’s supposed to be as lifelike as possible, but not everyone appreciates his efforts to learn from and emulate humans—including the man he’s been partnered with. Liam wants to help Ethan. He has all the resources he needs. But what he doesn’t have is the understanding required to empathize with his partner’s plight. To Ethan, Liam is nothing more than a fancy computer, and it’ll take more than pretty words and an even prettier face to change his mind. Ethan and Liam are opposing forces, thrust together in an endeavor neither of them could have navigated on their own. If they learn to understand each other, they could build the foundation for the new frontier of human advancement. And if they fail, it could mean more than the loss of a project. It could set humanity back hundreds of years. Because it’s not only AI the detractors are trying to oppress. They’re coming for the FGIA itself. This work is intended for a mature audience and contains mature content. For a more comprehensive list of content tags, please see this book’s information page at the author’s website.
