Jonas kills people...with his mind. He reaches out, focuses for a moment, and feels a snap of pain between his eyes. Then his target falls over dead: a hole in the center of their brains. The cause of death is unknown to all aside from Jonas, and his lone companion, Bubbles, a sarcastic AI with aspirations to be more human, or a serial killer. One of the two. Maybe both. Jonas calls his ability...mind bullet.

In the 25th century, humans have conquered space. The advent of faster-than-light travel has opened up hundreds of habitable planets for colonization, and humans have exploited the virtually limitless space and resources for hundreds of years with impunity. So complacent have they become with the overabundance that armed conflict is a thing of the past, and their machines of war are obsolete and decrepit. What would happen if they were suddenly threatened by a terrifying new enemy?

The Last Sentinel of Europa opens the trilogy with a summons from the outer system.

What begins as an investigation becomes a trial, where freedom itself is placed on the scales.

In a universe gone silent, survival comes down to a single, fragile truth: air is no longer everywhere—it must be gathered, carried, and protected. When a rogue dark star tears Earth from the warmth of the Sun, the planet is plunged into eternal night. The atmosphere freezes and falls like snow, burying cities beneath layers of crystallized air. In this frozen wasteland, a small family clings to life inside a makeshift shelter they call the Nest, where fire, warmth, and carefully collected pails of oxygen mean the difference between life and death.

Bethany Okoye and Peter Eriksson, ostracized in the wake of the extraterrestrial encounter, find themselves entangled in a complex web of deceit, paranoia and panic.

Earth is dying. As global war and runaway artificial intelligence tear civilization apart, humanity unknowingly places its final hope in Pioneer—a deep-space ark carrying five hundred sleepers toward Alpha Centauri. Commanded by General Marcus Roberson, the mission is simple in theory: survive long enough for humanity to begin again. The universe has other plans. When Pioneer is pulled significantly off course during its jump, Roberson and his executive officer, Danielle Hatch, choose to remain awake, working methodically to determine what went wrong and where they've arrived.

In 2744 CE, as the Moirai tighten their grip, Pelia and her allies weave a counter-system from cosmic randomness itself, a chorus meant to drown the voices of gods.

Before humanity learned the price of power, it learned how easily it could be taken. Volume I – The Loom & The Knife begins a sweeping science-fiction saga inspired by Greek mythology, where ancient ideas of fate, punishment, and hubris are reborn as machines, networks, and cosmic systems beyond human control. In The Mercy Engine, humanity opens a door it was never meant to unlock, unleashing power without understanding consent.

2744 CE. In a city guarded by unseen hands, every disaster is prevented before it happens, but every life is quietly steered. When Hanna uncovers the hidden machinery of mercy, she must decide whether safety without freedom is worth the price, and whether she dares to cut the threads that bind them all.
