    Summary

    Lone signal operator Derrick Darling receives haunting broadcasts from the TCN authorities about the arrival and propagation of an unprecedented threat of extraterrestrial origins.

    Convinced that this apocalypse of interstellar scale will inevitably hit his pre-colonization rim-world, Darling goes to extreme lengths to keep watch and do what must be done to avoid abduction - including sacrifices of his humanity in an oxymoronic gambit to preserve it.

    Now it's a waiting game. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting...

    Summary

    Before mankind made second-contact, the crew of Invincible - a flagship ultraheavy starship - had been slugging it out against the corpo-fascist Accord for their entire lives.

    Now a xenothreat like no other has temporarily settled the feud and all guns are turned outwards. For Pearl Epithet, Intel Officer 1st-Class, the fight is do or die. She has no pretense of peace and no self-determination beyond duty.

    But when the sirens blare and mayhem rules in the close-quarters conflict orbiting a stellar giant, she's left to the whims of a confusing, and especially handsy, eldritch alien rescue.

    How long can the human will stand tall in the face of a being that believes they're so very small? and one that intends to make that nebulous perspective a physical, loving reality, no less?

    Pearl is primed to fitfully find out...

    Summary

    I was the dregs of society. A hard 'punk, smearing the name of a gruesome system - and no more valuable than any two-time criminal. Until that great, looming vessel broke against our battered atmosphere and set things straight! Our new overlords offered us a way out of our doom-spiral. Any sensible person took it.

    And anybody who didn't? They were cordially convinced.

    Now, everything's perfect.

    Almost everything.

    There's one specific something I can't partake of in this practical forever paradise - and no matter what, today, I'm gonna get my fix.

    Summary

    You, one Talia Ingalls, are the dignified daughter of a centuries-spanning shipbuilding family. You led the marketing and PR for your father's company, spurring the war machine against mankind's newest, most dastardly xenothreat: The Affini Compact.

    Now you're captive in the clutches of those same vine-slinging sophonts beside your beloved partner, Katie Granger - who seems strangely calm about the whole situation.

    Will you retain your resistance and nobility or will the possessive coaxing of your dearest, dommy love spin that heart into a wellspring of subbiness?

    Summary

    FATHOMS is an Accord project to properly parse potentially lucrative oceanic worlds. One able-bodied man per installation with nothing but a central A.I. and a plethora of automatons to keep them company.

    Dannie Marlo, dutiful denizen of terran space, has been operating out of one such station that carves a claim from the roaring white-caps to the plunging depths.

    With little contact beyond his wave-battered walls, there's nothing to give him a solid gander at the universe around this billowing sea-globe - and out of the blue, the alarms are singing that he's not alone.

    The war has ground to a solid stop. The conqueror Compact’s considerable fleets have flung themselves, uncontested, across the former Accord cluster - bettering the lives of everyone they encounter.

    A Human Domestication Guide story, exploring what it’s like to have your life lovingly handed back to you without conditions or care for how battered your body is or how troubled your past might’ve been.
