D.E.A.D.
In a world where aliens walk among us, trust is the rarest commodity. After an explosive incident at Area 51, reports of strange creature sightings in the western United States skyrocketed. In response, the U.S. government created the Department of Extraterrestrial and Alien Defense-D.E.A.D. for short. For Dr. Maeve Leander and her unusual family, this new agency spells danger. Having escaped Area 51 with her loved ones, Maeve suspects the safety net provided by the President will only be short-lived. Forced to flee, Maeve gathers new allies in the fight for her family's survival. But with each new face comes a new threat, and Maeve finds herself questioning everyone's motives. Why are these strangers risking everything to help them? What do they really want? And most importantly, can Maeve trust them with the lives of Alvie and the triplets? In all the uncertainty, Maeve is sure of only one thing: she will do everything in her power to keep her family safe. But with the full might of the government against her, the odds of survival seem impossibly slim. R.D. Brady's D.E.A.D., the second installment in The A.L.I.V.E.

AI and Us
The past is not entirely past, but is still present and alive in us. Our personal ontogenesis mirrors the general phylogenesis; the past evolution of the species continues to determine the present evolution of the individual, for to some extent he repeats in his own body, his own mental development, the past history of all mankind. Our remotest ancestors continue to live in every one of the cells of our body. We call them our cells, but they are much more theirs: we carry their programming and they call the tune.The future is also alive in us, in a more subtle way, more difficult to understand but potentially more powerful even than the past. If we look back, revel exclusively in the glories of the past, we make it difficult for the future to manifest. However 'noble' the past seems to us, it should be sufficiently suspect for us to examine it soberly and carefully.If we look forward to a better and different tomorrow, not only do we give ourselves more strength to meet the present, but by lending it a mental form and vital force in our thought and in our longing we reinforce the future. By anticipating we put our personal weight in the balance on the side of that which is to come as opposed to that which is finished, and thus accelerate the coming and going.Anticipation is our most powerful weapon in the eternal battle of the future against the past, of the coming light against the darkness, the battle of life against death.Medhananda

The Zolan Empire, once a colossus of military dominance and technological pride, lies fractured and defeated. Its ambition has turned to ash. The victors, the Appsours, carry their burdens. Their triumph has left them with an empire stretched too thin, a conquered galaxy filled with defiance, resistance, and the quiet stirrings of revenge. What follows is not peace, but a breath between battles. The galaxy holds itself together with wary truces and fragile accords. On the surface, unity appears possible, but beneath lies a storm of old grudges, emerging alliances, and the rumblings of powers long thought dormant. Rebuilding proves harder than war. Trust is scarce. Diplomacy is a language none have yet mastered. The battlefield has shifted, but the conflict remains. The 9th World is a sweeping science fiction saga that explores what happens when conquest ends and something more difficult must begin. It is a meditation on the price of empire, the weight of memory, and the fragile nature of hope in a galaxy still haunted by the ghosts of its ambition. As ancient enemies turn toward uneasy cooperation, and new forces rise from the chaos, the fate of countless worlds will be shaped not by victory, but by whether former foes can learn to build something lasting from the ruin they created. Peace may be the goal, but it will not come easily. Survival has a cost in this galaxy, and the future remains unwritten.

Hunter’s Wager - A Cyberpunk Fairy Tale

Cybergnosis
Cybergnosis is a poetic transmission from the ruins of a digital soul. Blending cyberpunk aesthetics with raw spiritual introspection, it explores identity, trauma, memory, and love in a world wired for numbness. Told through glitchy verses, corrupted prayers, and emotional code, this collection traces a journey from system failure to inner awakening, from lost signals to reclaimed truth. It's not just poetry. It's a reboot of the human spirit. A signal for the ones still flickering in the dark. From the author: I wrote Cybergnosis during a time of collapse, spiritual, emotional, and digital. This is a book for the ones who still feel too much. Who break before they bend. Who remember how to love in a world designed to numb. Thank you for receiving this transmission. - Neon Reverie
