Here are a few excerpts from my Ariadoss Trilogy. Ariadoss Book 1: The Advent of Darkness (from second to last chapter):
Virashti declared in warning, “Overseer, unidentified vessels approaching, they’re everywhere!”
Less than a second later, the Retribution shuddered under the onslaught of weapon’s fire, its shields fluctuating. Lorena glanced at the control chamber’s expansive view-screen to witness the horrifying tableau before her: countless streaks of gold and green weaving through the Initiative armada faster than her eyes could follow, anti-matter missiles raining down on unsuspecting fleets. Buds of flame blossomed a moment later as unshielded ships detonated, hulls torn apart by missiles, remnants of ships scattered everywhere.
“We have to get back to the ship,” Lorena ordered trying to overcome her astonishment. Lorena grabbed Kel-ten’s semi-metallic arm as the two of them raced towards the phase-shift conduits.

A reader of mine requested this information so here:
My science fiction story featuring a female protagonist is currently unnamed entitled, Project Utopia and my companion trilogy to Ariadoss is well under way. It is entitled The Comrades of the Sword and is a fantasy trilogy as opposed to a science fiction one. I think I will post chapters up about once a month for The Advent of Darkness. I’m very busy and I want to have each chapter edited a little bit before I post them online. So you may only get two chapters every three months. [...]

Please give me feedback.
The Ariadoss Chronicles is set in the year 2999 A.D., in the Glumira Star Cluster, at the brink of the greatest social revolution that intelligent life has ever witnessed. The most technologically advanced Empire in the galaxy’s history is rapidly losing its once firm control over its expansive dominion, war and bloodshed are commonplace, and the people are in need of a true hero. Ariadoss, comes as a beacon of light in these dark times as he struggles for peace at the battlefront of a conflict-engulfed star cluster where the unrest of politics, religious fanaticism, and racial injustice reign rampant. The end is certain unless he can overcome the greatest threat to peace ever to plague the verse.
