Immortality is within reach. In 2063, a biotechnological revolution sweeps the nation. Behind this movement is Chicago-based medical giant LyfeGen. The company leads the biotech industry with their Sustain, an implantable artificial organ designed to grant its recipients near-immortality. But many of those recipients are suddenly dying. Biomedical scientist Preston Carter developed the Sustain to improve and save lives. Yet there are others that would see him fail. Extreme religious groups, radical movements, and competing corporations would prefer to see LyfeGen collapse rather than allow “the god organ” to fundamentally alter medicine and the human body. In a race against time, Carter must learn to trust resourceful journalist Audrey Cook. She may hold the key to discovering who is sabotaging the Sustain. And with the organ already implanted in his own body, Carter must uncover the truth before he’s killed by his invention. Views: 50

Her Imperial Majesty’s Army is made up of some the best fighters in the entire Shenandril Quadrant. Their training is rigorous, and most people drop out before they ever see a real fight. Silas knew from a young age that he wanted nothing more than to serve his Empress and his planet, and he has worked his way up to Captain. A gifted pilot, fighter, and hunter, Silas is on the first line of defense when the remnants of the Fremeri race think to try to overtake planet Gathra. He ends up in a fight with them, chasing them through space, and when his ship goes down, he ends up being sent through a wormhole like path and can only hope he comes out somewhere safe.
He crash lands on Earth with his communications down and no way to get back to where he’s meant to be. It’s there that he meets Katia, the bright and cheery owner of an Inn, who’s coming back from work when she finds Silas bleeding and in need of help. She’s never seen anyone who looks like him before, and when he explains who he is, she’s stunned. All the military knowledge in the universe won’t help Silas with his growing feelings for the human woman, and when the Fremeri set their sights on Earth, his heart and his duty will collide.
