A young dancer’s identity is up for sale to the highest bidder . . . but none know the secrets and dreams locked inside his head. Adrift in a sea of faces and unsure of who or what he is supposed to be, he’s on a collision course with destiny, and his time is running out.

For Jale Bercammon, on the other hand, life is comfortable, stable . . . and slipping on by. Every day is routine, and she’s good at routine. And then she meets Theta. Reeled in by forces from his homeworld, she’s set on a path that will take all of her resolve and ingenuity to survive.

The powerful and enigmatic Knoskali seems to treat the universe as his personal playground—its denizens are his toys, and his reach is limited only by his imagination. And yet the only thing he desires is the one thing that can destroy everything he’s built.

A trained chemical engineer,
paying his dues on a planet far from home, he’s adapted to a simple, professional lifestyle. Living and working inside a great factory-city, every need is met—food, socialization, entertainment and lodging . . .

In a civilized world, it’s easy to forget just how fragile life can be. It’s easy to forget the demons lurking in the shadows, and the nightmare that awaits just outside the walls.

Ephemeris—

On the industrial planet Fonaci,
survival is the language of life; everything has been sacrificed for the factory cities owned by off-world corporations, and for the locals, killing and starvation are the only means left to live. But a powerful, shadowy faction has a plan to set them free . . . one way or another.

At the tip of the spear lies a ragged array of unlikely heroes: a mercenary hacker from a socialist backwater, running from the crimes of his past, a red fox and a tawny coyote, in love and hoping only to survive, a disgraced special forces operative trying to find redemption, and company of mercenaries angling for retirement.

But behind the scenes, the strings are being pulled by people with entirely different agendas. A noble race faces its end, and another its own fragile beginning, while dark figures move against each other in the blackness of space.

Flotsam—
One fox’s tale. A short story, in serial format.

A destitute red fox is dying of an infectious disease in a society that barely merits the name. In a wasteland of death, poverty and destruction, he wants to tell his story before his end, desperate to simply leave some sort of mark on the world that will prove he existed.

But change is on the wind . . . and a unique opportunity. Perhaps, with just a bit of leverage and a modicum of will, he can do much more than that . . .

Set in the same universe as Theta and Dreams of Refugium.
