The Galactic Fringe is a deadly place. But as a fugitive from justice, Gaylen's options are limited. Now a dangerous gamble has earned him his own ship and a small crew. It's enough to survive, to stay mobile, from one trouble spot to another. Savage pirates, starport gangs and bounty hunters are dangerous enough, and now a brewing war threatens a new brand of chaos. Good thing he knows how to kick ass. Flights of the Addax is an action-packed sci-fi adventure saga. If you like Firefly, Han Solo, scrappy survivors on the edge of space, and lots of shooting and punching, you'll love this one.

Fulcrum: Season One

J.J. Vega | sci_fi | Complete

Jack loves his life. Yeah, he lives at the edge of a warzone between armies of monstrosities. You call it dangerous. Jack calls it Tuesday. Folks in town aren't too keen on a fourteen-year-old running the only bar, but Jack has it under control. Maybe his customers trash the place more than he would like, but sometimes cybernetically enhanced mercenaries need to blow off some steam. With the help of Zekefriend, mentor, monkeyJack serves drinks to anyone who comes through his door. And for the right price, he might even sell you something with a bit more kick & something magical. When Corva gets knocked through the wall of his bar, Jack decides to help her out. Sure she's being chased by a pack of bounty hunters and she's got no idea why. But she can fight. Holy hell, she can fight. Jack could use someone like that to keep a little order in the bar. That should be a win-win, but Jack's and Corva's problems are bigger than either of them can guess, big enough change the course of the war. Fulcrum is a post-Armageddon dystopian science fiction fantasy with a taste of anime. Technology, magic, and a badass monkey. The drinks aren't on the house, but you're welcome to stay until last call. Chapters are released every weekday... unless they're short. Then it'll be a couple chapters that day. The full story for Season One is complete, but still in the process of being posted here. If you like it and want to support it, you can purchase Fulcrum: Season One now and read the whole story before it's posted here.

Void Hopper

The First Million Words | sci_fi | Complete

The Progenitors are long gone, but their technology and culture live on. Trillions of beings from hundreds of species speak the Progenitor language, eat Progenitor foods, and use Progenitor technology. The backbone of this society are Hoppers - smugglers who transport goods through the dangerous dimension of the Void. The crew of the Discordant Note is on another routine job when they come across a member of a species nobody has ever seen before - a human. He has no memory of his past, his culture, or of the world he came from. What does he remember? He knows how to operate a multitool, fire a blaster, and how to kill a Sarcorian with his bare hands. Now, the crew and their newest member must steal a powerful ancient artifact, evade the clutches of the powerful Encephalon corporation, and discover the truth about the Progenitors.
