After a lot of editing and creative input from my friend Katane I have been able to release Ariadoss and the Glumira Peace Initiative’s second chapter: The Executrix of Skandra X.

This chapter takes place right after the first and is told mainly from the point of view of Artificial Intellects or bots so the dialogue is mainly composed of short, declared sentences. This chapter will probably be the least lively as far as fighting sequences go but it is a respectable example of descriptive narration on my part. [...]

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. She then activated her wristband, “All DMC ships, this is Commander Knox, we are under attack! Engage the enemy but do not break formation!” [...]

I finally decided to post the first chapter of my science fiction novella online at:

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.
