Chaos Rising

In the year 2082, Earth teeters on the edge of totalitarian collapse. The Enlightened League of Nations has risen to global dominance, enforcing its rule through the brutal Compliance Army. At its helm is the psychopathic James Morstyn, who unleashes Miah — a biowired juggernaut spy — to crush the last sparks of rebellion. Enter the Freemen, a clandestine resistance led by the visionary Elias Bell, orchestrating a daring exodus that could be humanity's last chance at survival.

They escaped Earth. They survived the battle. But the greatest threat to the Exodus was never outside the ship.

Mutiny

2102. Nearly two trillion miles from Earth, the Freemen's generational ark drifts through deep space, carrying the last hope of humanity. For fifteen years, peace has reigned aboard the vessel. But peace is fragile — and rebellion is brewing. Young passengers Alan Black and Naomi Corb uncover a chilling secret that could unravel the mission and ignite civil war. A charismatic rival rises, threatening to overthrow the Ark Council and derail the exodus.

On Earth's moon, the League thought they had crushed all resistance. They were wrong.

MoonBound

2087. The Moon isn't just a cold beacon in the night sky — it's a battleground of betrayal, rebellion, and ruthless ambition. After the Freemen's daring escape, the abandoned lunar mines are repurposed into something far more sinister: a subterranean prison known only as The Hole. Enter Ying-Tai, a lethal assassin cast into the depths of Moon Mine #9 by the megalomaniac Chin-Yau, who dreams of ruling an eight-planet empire — and he's building a starship to do it.

Centuries pass. The stars outside haven't changed. But inside the ark, everything has.

BioRift

2898. After an 800-year voyage, the Freemen's colossal Ark limps to the Altair system — shattered, broken, and adrift. Thousands of passengers remain trapped in hibernation. Only a handful of enhanced Biowired warriors stand between them and annihilation at the claws of the Darklings and the twisted, mutant Wirespawn. Beneath the surreal skies of Azaa, Ying-Tai and her crew escape the wreckage of their stolen starship — only to watch it sink beneath the dunes of a world unlike any they've known.

The promised land was never promised to be safe.

2898. Welcome to Azaa — a planet of electrified deserts, alien jungles, and a brutal emperor. The Freemen's dream of freedom has shattered into chaos. Their generational Ark drifts into interstellar space in ruins, and over 200,000 survivors are imprisoned in the fortress city of Korzaan, ruled by the ruthless Emperor Chin-Yau. A failed rescue mission leaves Alan, Naomi, and the surviving Sandrider commandos fleeing back to their stronghold, haunted by the knowledge that their people are running out of time.
