When military bioscientist Capt. Warren’s hidden research installation gets attacked, he joins forces with armored assault Sgt. Von Radach. They become entangled in a deadly fight to stop the theft of classified military secrets by a lethal female villain, whose devious plans to use enemy cyborgs posing as humans and altering unsuspecting military personnel’s neural implants to accept her commands have every chance of succeeding.

Struggling with newfound sentience and desperately trying to repair itself, The Indescribable Joy of Destruction is a ship trying to find a new home. In a galaxy torn apart by generations of civil war, that isn't an easy task. Tired of being used as a killing machine, it has a huge decision to make: hide and save itself, or help other artificial intelligences achieve freedom. Unable to make the decision alone, it revives the sole human aboard - the enemy officer who crippled it.
Commander Olivia Johnson wakes to find herself in the infirmary of a strange vessel. Her nightmares deepen when she discovers it is the ship that attacked her destroyer. Even as she recovers from her physical injuries, she can't get past her survivor's guilt. She might have failed to protect her crew, but she vows to take revenge on their killer.
When the ship uncovers a genocidal plot by the commander's own admirals, Johnson realises just what is at stake. Together, the AI ship and the human officer must recruit outsiders from both sides. Training the misfits in battle to prevent the atrocity may be an impossible task, but running and hiding is no longer an option.

Deadly creatures, hostile climate, and that is just the scenery.
For many years, mysterious things have happened on the ice world of Tamer, but when a scientist goes missing from Barresh thought to be on Tamer, Cory is forced to take the issue by the horns.
Problem is, he is dealing with unexpected side effects of his fertility treatment, and, like his Coldi companions, he's lost much of his night vision, and has trouble tolerating low temperatures.
Trouble is, a recent addition to his team has sent shockwaves through his group of loyal companions and things are still sorting themselves out.
Not his healthy self, under-resourced, frozen and half-blind, that's not the best preparation to visit a world where humans are not at the top of the food chain, let alone dealing with enemies who will go to any lengths to hide their activities.

In the far future, two major factions are locked in a galactic cold war. As tensions mount between the technocratic Union and the genome-harnessing Concordance, both sides anxiously watch for a chance to conquer the other.
The Nepenthe is a pirate vessel, loyal to neither. Led by the enigmatic Captain Dangard, her rough and ready crew includes the cat-like alien Commander Creull, Zeno the immortal synthetic, the dashing Garrett Strand, and Duncan Hauk, a promising young recruit.
Hired by a cryptic employer, the crew waylays a transport ship carrying a mysterious passenger. In due time, this incident sparks the beginnings of an interstellar conflict that could threaten the state of known space.

John Rees is a brilliant, but deeply troubled, space engineer. He lied his way into the astronaut corps. He was due to fly on the starship Atlas--the next mission to the star Constantine--until the crew of the first ship, the Hercules, vanished.
John watches from the sidelines as the Atlas is rushed into service--and he is cut from the crew. Desperate to redeem himself for his treacherous past, he must watch from the sidelines as the ship--and any chance to help--slips away. Is there any hope for either John or the lost colonists?

Human-explored space lies between two alien races that are either openly aggressive or covertly hostile. 7th Fleet discovers that one of those races is moving to attack. In a moment of panic, the commanding admiral orders the fleet to attempt a risky jump through hyperspace. They miss hitting their target star’s gravity well and end up deep in unexplored space with a shockingly long trip home and not nearly enough food to last that long. With war now raging in their home systems, the officers of 7th Fleet must find a way to put aside their egos, ambitions and fears in order to make it back, and they know that not all of them will.

Nox is a wanted man.
While searching for a criminal, the fabled Coilhunter wanders into a tribal village massacre. He didn’t do it, but that doesn’t matter. The clues point to him, and he’s made a lot of enemies over the years. Many would happily see the tables turned.
His pleas of innocence fall on deaf ears. No sooner does he try to find the real killers than posters go up across the Wild North—posters with his face and his name. He isn’t the only bounty hunter out there. Dozens assemble to cash him in.
Tasked with finding out who’s framed him, Nox must also survive the constant onslaught of frontier law. He’s used to hunting others. He’s not so used to life on the run.

The world was melting down. North Korea had tested another nuclear missile. Terrorist attacks were happening with frightening regularity in European cities. In the United States, the FBI and CIA were investigating multiple computer hacks in which the Russians were the prime suspects. Then the news took an even more ominous tone. People began seeing UFOs and strange, alien-looking creatures with humanoid shapes, green skin and large black eyes. In places where this occurred, doctors reported the spread of a mysterious virus that scrambled people’s thoughts and caused hallucinations. Many experts believed the virus came from the aliens. The pathogen had not yet been identified; there was no known cure.
Psychology professor Dr. Cora Frost had a different theory: the bizarre symptoms were nothing more than mass hysteria, not unlike the hysteria that caused people in our not-too-distant past to see witches flying through the sky, which justified hanging them or burning them at the stake. Intense stress within societies gives rise to scapegoats. Doing field research within the compound of a cult in Roswell, New Mexico that revered the exact same kinds of aliens being reported on the news, Cora’s entire worldview is shaken and upended. In a shocking series of events, her past and future collide, forever changing her life.

In order to defend the world against an impending alien invasion, global government agencies created soldiers, clones made to be stronger, faster and loyal to the cause. They only want the best for the battle, so before the clones can fight in the war they must pass the phases. A barrage of testing zones are designed to push the clones to the max, those who fail are recycled. It's a bloody, yet necessary evil.
Alpha 9 awoke believing in the mission, but as more and more of his fellow clones die, Alpha 9 is struck with the impossible thought that maybe, maybe the phases aren't actually meant to test them-but to exterminate them.
Escaping the test zone will use every enhanced ability they have, but it is what they find on the outside that will really test what they are made of. The war for earth was lost. Now if Alpha 9 and his team want to see a future for the human race, they will need to do what the armies before them failed to: win.
Is Alpha 9 the leader the resistance needs or will the secrets of humanity's past lead them all to their ultimate destruction?

The residents of Celestica Space Station really do live on the edge (of the known universe, and next to a supermassive black hole). And everybody knows, the farther you get from the civilized universe, the closer you are to the monsters that lurk in deep space.
This story is a creepy, fun, thrill ride that has mutant rats, orc miners, a head of security that looks like the Predator, and a very cool jellyfish named Gorb. And also, an A.I. Zombie.

Destiny is all. Unless it's going the wrong way...
Time often abducts Captain Valeria Tylia and shows her about two seconds of the future. And when she sees a barbarian attack being prepared, she knows that everything she holds dear is in danger.

A Captain shielded by his mother’s rank.
An enemy determined to buy freedom with blood.
A battle no one expected to fight.
Captain Isaac Gallant is the only son of the dictator of the Confederacy, his career slowed by a dozen measures to protect his reputation and safety alike—but he has no intention of being a pampered child and is determined to do his duty.
An attempt to force his crew to acknowledge their own duties puts his ship in a unique position to intervene when an overwhelming rebel attack is launched on one of the Confederacy’s most critical facilities.
The rebels didn’t expect to fight anyone. The Confederacy didn’t expect Isaac Gallant to fight at all.
All of them were wrong.

And they’re not alone.
Now, the mysterious force that’s living on this floating graveyard is coming for Supreme’s crew and passengers. As madness starts to tear at their minds, they must fight to survive in a strange alien realm.
And there’s no way out...

We barely won the battle at Mercury's shipyards, but the war is just beginning.
The Telestines, in control of Earth, now pursue us from planet to planet, moon to moon, leaving terrible destruction in their wake. And now, the unthinkable: a new alien weapon with the power to destroy a whole world. Thousands die on Jupiter's moon Io when a bomb detonates, sending apocalyptic storms of debris that threaten millions of people on Ganymede and Callisto.
But that isn't the worst of it. The bomb was detonated by a human. A drone.
And there are thousands of them scattered across the solar system, anonymous, undetectable, and waiting for orders from their Telestine masters.
Our war becomes a race against time: find the bombs, find the drones, find our true enemy, all while under siege from within and without.
Before we all perish.

He knows that it is forbidden to love a human, but 'he' is struggling with newfound emotions that were previously nonexistent.
Androids are beneath human notice in Grace's world, little more than robots. People would see Grace as a pervert or worse, if she paid attention to Bud.

When Grace's life is threatened and the space station is about to self-destruct, Bud sacrifices himself to try and stop the station's power generators from destroying everyone he cares about.

Dallas was supposed to be a fresh start. New job. New life. Instead, it was the end.
The explosions came first. It was night, and rocks and boulders rained from the sky. I grabbed what I could, tried to find safety. All around me, the city burned.
But, after it was all over, I was alive. Things were different. Depressing. Debilitating. None of us were under any illusions that we’d have what we had before, but, after a few days, there was a kernel of hope. Life didn’t feel normal, but it started to feel livable. Like we’d find our way out of this.
Then the wailers came.
Half dead? Undead? We didn’t know. We didn’t care. These were the mangled and mutated remains of friends and neighbors, bent now on eliminating the rest of us. We did what we could to avoid them. And when that was impossible, we fought. Because fighting for survival was all we had left.
