Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Humanity has finally found the world it has been searching for. The problem is surviving it.After decades among the stars, Scottie Sanders and Dr. Naomi Reyes have learned one lesson better than most: a world does not have to look human to be alive-and survival does not automatically grant ownership.When the starships Pioneer Dawn and Starlight discover Meridian, it seems almost too good to be true.Blue oceans. Green continents. Rivers and forests. A breathable atmosphere. A familiar cycle of daylight and darkness.For the first time since humanity left Earth, they have found a planet that looks like home.But Meridian has been alive for millions of years without them.When a survey expedition ventures deep into the planet's wilderness, an approaching storm becomes only the beginning. Strange airborne spores threaten the biological members of the crew. Massive migrating animals transform the landscape without warning. Predators are drawn to human technology. Floods cut off escape routes. And beneath the mountains lies an ancient alien waystation whose builders studied Meridian thousands of years before humanity arrived-and apparently decided not to stay.Then the expedition becomes stranded.With one crew member fighting for his life and rescue increasingly uncertain, Scottie, Naomi, and their companions must survive a planet that is neither evil nor hostile.It is simply indifferent.And every hour they remain on Meridian forces them to confront a larger question: Just because humanity can live on a world, does that mean humanity should change it?Filled with planetary exploration, survival, ancient alien mysteries, interstellar adventure, and thought-provoking questions about humanity's place among the stars, The Green Horizon continues Scottie Sanders' journey into a universe where the greatest discoveries often create even greater questions.The Green Horizon is Book Three of The Far Horizons Series.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Scottie Sanders is seventy-five years old when pancreatic cancer ends his life.Five years later, he awakens inside a crude mechanical body carrying the memories, personality, humor, and fears of the man who died. Even Scottie cannot prove he is that man, and his first second life lasts only nineteen days before a catastrophic failure returns him to darkness.When Scottie awakens again five years later, the technology has improved. His new synthetic body looks thirty-five, can eat ordinary food, experience touch, and survive conditions that would kill a biological human.But the world has moved forward without him.His children are now older than he appears. His home belongs to someone else. The law considers him dead, leaving him without citizenship, property, or any certain right to control the body keeping him alive.Then billionaire technologist Dave Daniels offers Scottie a place aboard Pioneer Dawn, humanity's first interstellar colony ship.The mission will carry forty specialists across forty light-years to the TRAPPIST-1 system. For Scottie, it offers meaningful work, legal protection, and a future beyond the laboratory. It also makes him part of another dangerous experiment: no reconstructed human mind has ever survived decades of interstellar travel.As Pioneer Dawn crosses the darkness, Scottie must earn the crew's trust, confront corruption within his own memories, and receive family messages sent by people aging far faster than he is. Along the way, he begins to suspect that he may not be the only person aboard who has returned from death.When the ship finally reaches its destination, a vast artificial structure awakens near the planet below. It does not respond to the biological crew, or even to the ship's powerful artificial intelligence.It responds to Scottie. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. They returned to Xylos looking for a weapon. What they found was a queen.Prince Alexander Strong barely survived his first expedition to Xylos. Fourteen members of the mission did not.Now his father's throne is threatened, powerful military leaders are circling the monarchy, and Alexander is ordered back to the deadly alien world to recover rare minerals that could shift the balance of power on Triton III.At his side is Anna Wilde-the battle-hardened mercenary who has already saved his life and has no intention of letting royal politics, hostile soldiers, or alien predators change that.But reaching Xylos may prove just as dangerous as surviving it.A mysterious bounty has been placed on Anna. A black-ops warship follows their trail. An abandoned prospector's survey points toward a cave system marked with one terrifying warning: NESTS BELOW.Deep beneath Xylos, Alexander and Anna discover glowing crystals, ancient structures, strange creatures, and evidence of an intelligence far older and more powerful than anything humanity expected to find.Then the crystals begin calling to something in the darkness between the stars.Something enormous answers.And when the legendary Dragon Queen Kaelen finally appears, Alexander and Anna learn that the treasure they carried away from Xylos was never theirs to take.Now their survival depends on understanding a species capable of crossing space, manipulating energy, and claiming humans as easily as humans once claimed unexplored worlds.Meanwhile, the bond between Alexander and Anna is becoming harder to dismiss-and increasingly dangerous for a prince whose kingdom may be waiting for him to return.Dragon Queen of Xylos is Book Two of the Dragon's Breath and Starlight Series, a fast-moving science-fantasy adventure filled with dragons, alien planets, ancient mysteries, royal conspiracies, dangerous expeditions, and two people discovering that loyalty can become something much more powerful.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Then Dr. Elara Vess makes a discovery that changes everything.Hidden inside the crystalline samples brought back from Xylos is an artificial star map pointing far beyond explored space to a forbidden world known as Theron IX. Embedded inside the crystals is a message that has survived for generations: Do not approach.Alexander soon learns his father has known about Theron IX for twenty-three years-and that Alexander's mother died uncovering its secret. The ancient civilization responsible for the mysterious world engineered it as a weapon, creating an ecosystem in which everything that lives there was designed to kill.When Alexander refuses to abandon Anna or give up the expedition, King Theron gives his son an impossible choice. Alexander chooses the stars-and exile. Anna chooses Alexander. Together they flee Triton aboard the Kestrel, pursued by enemies determined to stop them from reaching the forbidden system.But political enemies are only the beginning.Theron IX and its moon conceal crystalline sentinels, biological hunter-killers, ancient weapons, orbital defenses, and technology left behind by a civilization powerful enough to turn an entire world into a fortress. What appears at first to be a prison may actually be something far more terrifying.Because Theron IX wasn't built simply to keep something in.It was built to keep something out.And something has been coming toward it for three hundred years.With their ship damaged, enemies closing in, and an ancient defense network awakening around them, Alexander and Anna must uncover the truth before Theron IX becomes their grave.The Death Moon of Theron IX is Book Three of the Dragon's Breath and Starlight Series, continuing the adventures of Prince Alexander Strong and Anna Wilde in a story of unexplored worlds, ancient civilizations, deadly creatures, royal betrayal, and a relationship forged in survival.Some worlds were never meant to be explored.Some warnings were meant to be obeyed.
