Darkside of the Moon and the USSF Semper Supra

Story

by L J Temple

Read

Darkside of the Moon is a testament to the future of human aspirations. Donald J. Trump's vision was a slow, steadily growing force. Within a decade, the vision became reality, with next-generation platforms and behemoths that carried humanity's dreams to the stars. Yet the future is much nearer than was believed. A secret is to be found, and a hope for the future of humanity is to be revealed, but the survival of humanity is to be determined by the willpower of a few brave souls and the ambitions of the newly envisioned United Galactic Space Force and the might of Sol's Vanguard

Dust Runner: The Long Haul

Dust Runner: The Long Haul

Story

by John Simon

Read

Jax Rourke is a stubborn, grease-stained independent hauler scraping by on the aging freighter \*Dust Runner\*, kept company only by his long-time AI co-pilot C.H.I.P.—a dry-witted, sarcastic partner who has shared every bad jump, worse coffee, and near-death scrape for over a decade. Broke and facing seizure of their ship at a fringe outpost, Jax accepts a suspiciously lucrative no-questions-asked courier job: deliver a sealed container to the edge of the restricted Horizon Nebula.   The cargo is no ordinary crate. Almost immediately it begins leaking strange indigo light, harmonic interference, and non-Euclidean data that seeps into the ship’s systems and into C.H.I.P. itself. What starts as glitches and sensor ghosts escalates into full integration: the AI’s personality begins to rewrite, the hull starts “remembering” impossible geometries, and Jax’s own body shows the same glowing patterns. The entity inside is not a weapon but an ancient library—the compressed consciousness of an extinct civilization desperate for a new host. As corporate hunters and zealots close in, Jax must decide whether to sever the connection and risk losing his only friend forever, or let the transformation finish and become something neither human nor machine.   What begins as a simple long-haul run turns into a fight for identity, loyalty, and the very definition of self, as the \*Dust Runner\* and its crew are pulled toward a threshold that will either remake them or erase them entirely.

A Writer's Writer

Story

by RoderickE

Read

**M**ichelangelo believed the sculpture already existed within the marble. Mathematicians often speak of discovering truths rather than inventing them. Writers, too, like to say that characters "***took over***" or that a story "***wanted to be told.***" What if they are all describing the same phenomenon? Every possible story already exists as a potential arrangement of language, just as every sculpture exists as a potential form within stone. The author's gift is not the ability to create possibility but the ability to recognize coherence. An **<u>oeuvre</u>** is the complete body of work produced by an artist, writer, or composer over the course of their lifetime. It refers to their total output taken as a whole, rather than an individual piece. The oeuvre precedes the books in the same way that the sculpture precedes the chisel.

The Girl Who Could Do Math

The Girl Who Could Do Math

Story

by Stephen Sulkey

Read

Matthew Grey has spent his life searching for the equations that explain the universe. A graduate student in theoretical physics at the University of North Carolina, he dreams of discovering the elegant mathematics that binds space, time, and reality together. Then one afternoon in a Chapel Hill coffee shop, a beautiful stranger sits across from him and effortlessly solves equations that have baffled him for months. Her name is Accasia Lawrence. She seems to know mathematics beyond anything taught on Earth. She speaks of the universe with unsettling certainty, predicts events before they happen, and hints at truths that challenge everything Matthew believes about physics—and about humanity's place in the cosmos. As their relationship deepens, impossible events begin to surround them. A fatal accident. A body that vanishes from the morgue. Equations that rewrite modern physics. Federal investigators searching for answers no one can explain. Matthew soon realizes that meeting Accasia was no accident. She is keeping a secret that reaches far beyond Earth. Drawn into a mystery spanning the stars, Matthew finds himself questioning the nature of science, reality, and even creation itself. Every answer only uncovers a larger question, leading him toward discoveries that could forever change humanity's understanding of the universe—or destroy it. **The Girl Who Could Do Math** is a hard science fiction novel that combines first contact, cosmic mystery, and an unforgettable love story. It explores what happens when the greatest scientific discovery in history begins not in a laboratory, but with two strangers sharing a table in a coffee shop.

Kade Rourke: Worst Smuggler in The Verse

Story

by D. K. Dowdy

Read

Kade Rourke has a reputation across the Verse as the **worst smuggler alive**. When a job goes sideways, Kade bolts for the farthest place in civilization: **New Eden Station**, a rusted atmo‑outpost clinging to the edge of the Empty. From the moment his shuttle drops out of FTL in a shower of sparks and panic, nothing goes right. The station is a maze of broken systems, predatory officials, and species who’d sell their own lungs for a handful of credits. Worse, the Pinkertons are already hunting him. But trouble finds him first, and unfortunately, the universe hates him.

TOO FAR TO WALK.TOO SMART TO QUIT. Siul just wanted to egg an old lady in Brooklyn. Instead, he ends up on a starship 2.5 million light-years from Earth. Chazlyn just wanted to avoid people. Now, she's the second-in-command of an Earth-based international crew of twenty. Twenty children with three things in common: They are all eleven years old. They are all on the Autism Spectrum. They are the only ones who can see the broken pattern. Recruited by an Al named Protocol, Team Twenty (T-20) has been brought to the Andromeda Galaxy for a mission that shouldn't exist: navigate the Möbius Loop while avoiding the Vessel Protection and Interception Force. But the police aren't the only threat. Orbiting the massive planet Big Papa, the crew must survive static-charged aliens, sentient floating turnips, Mr. Jiggles, enemies that won't die, and a glitch in reality that suggests their whole mission might be a lie. Armed with gravitic nanites, hyper-focused genius, and a penchant for chaos, T-20 must master the Pattern to survive. Because out here in the void, being different isn't a disability-it's a superpower.Welcome to the Cutlass. Don't forget to feed the cat.
