ASTRA: GAZERS OF THE FALLEN SKY

ASTRA: GAZERS OF THE FALLEN SKY Synopsis The sky did not open with light. It fell. When celestial beings known as Angels descend upon Earth, humanity quickly learns they are not saviors—but sovereign predators. Ranked by power and governed by ancient laws older than creation itself, these entities do not conquer through chaos. They observe. They test. And when necessary, they erase. Cities burn. Nations fracture. Hope becomes a calculated risk. Humanity’s last defense lies in the Franix Program—genetically enhanced soldiers engineered to rival the lowest ranks of Angels. But even their greatest weapons struggle against Rank Ones… and something far worse watches from beyond. Kazuo was never meant to exist. An anomaly born from forbidden power, he is neither fully human nor angel. As his strength grows at an impossible rate, so does the truth: he is not becoming an Angel. He is becoming something above them. A Ruler. With each passing day, Kazuo changes—physically, mentally, spiritually. His humanity begins to thin as cosmic authority awakens within him. Angels recognize it. The Franix fear it. And somewhere in the vast silence of the heavens, another Ruler stirs—Kang, an entity whose very existence once kept Angels in submission. But Kazuo does not seek conquest. He does not seek revenge. He seeks balance. As celestial politics unfold and global powers crumble under divine pressure, the world begins to understand a terrifying reality: Angels are not the final threat. They are pieces on a board controlled by beings far older and far more absolute. Through the eyes of soldiers, side characters, commanders, and civilians alike, ASTRA: Gazers of the Fallen Sky explores the cost of divinity touching Earth. Not just through destruction—but through change. Because when the sky falls… You either kneel. Or ascend.

Fancy a Second Life?

Kade Lennox, a 25‑year‑old call‑centre worker from Glasgow, has three constants in his life: lukewarm tea, late‑night Doctor Who reruns with the ghost of his dad’s laughter in his ears, and the gnawing guilt of the night he froze while his best mate was beaten on the pavement and then walked out of his life. He has quietly decided he’s a coward, even if he’d never say the word out loud. ​ One rainy evening, hurrying to another nothing shift, Kade sees an eight‑year‑old girl step into the path of a speeding truck. This time, his body moves before his fear does. He drags her clear—and takes the impact himself. Instead of darkness, he wakes on the Edge: a strange, white nowhere perched on the lip of a bottomless cliff, face to face with an old man who calls himself a Guardian of the Edge and speaks with all the voices Kade has ever trusted, including his dad’s. ​ At the Edge, Kade learns he is dead but not yet gone. This is the threshold every mind passes in the moment of dying. Step over the cliff, and there is no return. Turn away, and—if he chooses—he can be sent back. Not to his old life, but to a new one: reborn as a Time Lord in a universe he knows only from episodes and box sets, offered a second life he’s dreamed of and never truly believed he deserved. ​ Given ten stolen minutes of borrowed time, a teapot that tastes like home, and the worst sales pitch in cosmic history, Kade must decide whether to rest at last or take on a life of impossible planets, monsters, and the constant risk of failing bigger than he ever could on Earth. The Doctor’s old creed—never be cruel, never be cowardly, hate is foolish, love is wise—suddenly stops being a quote on a screen and becomes the standard Kade will be held to across galaxies. If he chooses the second life, Kade will wake on Gallifrey not as a fan, but as one of them: a new Time Lord with a taste for 60s music, a retro TARDIS, a misbehaving bit of psychic paper, and more power to help or harm than he ever wanted. He’ll collect companions he’s afraid to love, artefacts he hides behind, and a reputation for talking his way out of trouble while quietly falling apart. Each world he visits will force him to confront the very things he tried to leave behind on that Glasgow road: guilt, cowardice, love, and the terror of letting people get close when they can be taken away. ​ Fancy a Second Life? is a character‑driven, bittersweet sci‑fi novel about a very ordinary man offered the most extraordinary escape hatch imaginable—and discovering that becoming a hero in a universe he adored from his sofa is much harder than quoting it. It’s about second chances, the cost of running, and learning that bravery isn’t a moment in front of a truck, but a choice you make every day afterward.

Dead Galaxy Chronicles

Dead Galaxy plunges into a sprawling science-fiction future set in 2852. The narrative opens in an era where Earth’s nations, ravaged and exhausted by centuries of devastating wars, were forced to surrender governance to interstellar resource-gathering corporations. This handover established a new galactic frontier defined by institutional corruption, forgotten laws, and deep moral decay. Tiberion Solegard, the head of the technology giant Evoke Systems, took command of the Supreme World Republic (SWR)—a structure founded by these corporations—and maintains absolute control over the galaxy through 12 centralized institutions. His power became unshakeable after he achieved immortality. This extreme consolidation of authority was partly necessitated by widespread colonial uprisings that erupted following the emergence of the Incompatibles. The Incompatibles first arrived in 2438: an advanced alien race that, terrifyingly, could not be processed by the human brain. Any attempt by humans to perceive these invaders often resulted in instant, irreversible blindness or catastrophic loss of consciousness. They were untouchable; no known human weapon could inflict damage. Then, just as suddenly, the Incompatibles vanished, yet the chilling traces and enduring mysteries they left behind never faded. So, what is this story about? Inspector of the Dead Galaxy and Fugitive of the Dead Galaxy The protagonist is Mehmet, an Inspector working for the Bioethical Oversight—one of the SWR's 12 governing bodies. Mehmet is violently jolted awake from a 400-year cryo-sleep due to a minor power grid failure. Because of this catastrophic interruption, Mehmet is afflicted with amnesia; he cannot recall his past, the reason for his slumber, or any crucial details of his life. His institution is barely functional, on the verge of collapse from rampant corruption and bribe-taking. Mehmet’s simple goal is to collect his 400 years of accumulated pay and retire to a peaceful life. However, he is required to complete three final assignments before retirement. As he reluctantly navigates these last duties, Mehmet will find himself tearing through the veneer of the galaxy’s darkest secrets, learning brutal truths about his own past, and struggling to comprehend a universe filled with impenetrable mysteries. Expect From This Saga: A vast, realistic sci-fi universe (featuring intricate institutions, cults, mega-corporations, and political webs) Entertaining side characters Dystopian mysteries A compelling villain R-rated humor and dark comedy A lengthy, multi-part adventure series Warning: This work contains violence, psychological tension, sexual content, and themes that may be disturbing to some readers. It is not suitable for readers under the age of 18.

The Beast Within – The Awakening of the Noctusborn (Volume 1)

A king who loved his people. A husband who swore to protect his family. A man willing to sacrifice everything—even his humanity. King Elandor of Kaelon has everything a man could desire: a realm that worships him, a wife who touches his very soul, and a future bathed in light. Yet in the shadows of his own city, strings are being pulled. Not against his realm—against his heart. When darkness strikes, Elandor faces a choice no man should ever have to make: Accept. Or become. There is a way to grow stronger than his pain. A way to crawl into the bodies of his enemies, hollow them from within, steal their strengths. A way to become immortal—yet the more he takes, the more the king dissolves into ash. And from that ash, something older awakens. The Beast Within is the story of a man caught between love and damnation—and the discovery that the greatest monster is not the enemy, but what we become to defeat him.
