This new story continues after the discovery that one of the latest refugees they rescued is, in fact, a Pirate Princess. Only, what exactly does that mean? They travel to the aliens’ homeworld, only to find that they are living weapons. After surviving that adventure, they head to a new location they learned about from the pirates. One that features not just one new alien species, but two. One seems to be a peaceful herbivore; the other is a planet full of werewolves with a 1900-level of technology. Are any of them what they initially seem to be? Will Chloe ever get the vacation she ...

Benjamin, Mark, and Chloe were all set to graduate college in a few weeks. Ben had ordered a strange object from eBay to use as cover art for a book he was writing. It looked really cool, like a slightly charred old military artifact from 70 years ago. It was possibly part of an engine. After cleaning it up (it was found in a cow field), he placed the strange device on his dorm room desk directly over the wireless charging port. That woke it up. Unknown to him, the disabled starship hiding on the moon could now communicate with the missing part. The ship needed two things: 1) The missing ...

For the Reptilian humanoid alien Trissii, abducting humans was all just part of her job. She had done it dozens of times before... Testing for this subject was now complete. In a few hours, he would be back home, none the wiser about his little adventure. Then her ship crashed on a nightmarish planet classified as double-red; there was no chance anyone would ever rescue them. Her badly damaged ship would never fly again, and to make matters worse, she now had a broken hand. Their survival depended on a desperate option no one had ever used. She needed to wake the human from stasis. Then ...

After leaving the medical chamber, Keith thought the long war was over. He had united two warring factions and identified the culprit behind the earlier devastating war. A xenophobic race that was out to destroy all the other races. The problem was that they didn't like that he had uncovered their deception, and they were out for revenge. Then the Earth sent their “secret weapon” out to him. Something that could possibly beat the Meduala at their own game. Unfortunately, her daughter insisted on coming out too. Much of his earlier success was based on help from the AI on his patched-up ...

On Mars, Jason had stumbled across the escape pod to a 3,500-year-old derelict spacecraft. The AI for the ship then informed Jason that due to him having some traces of alien DNA, he was now the Captain of a massive alien Starship. That 'should' have been good news. Except that most of the Mars and Earth government agencies had different ideas about the alien ship. And the ships AI, having been derelict for centuries... It now has some issues... But the real problem was that Jason's DNA had an additional trait that shouldn't be there... The last time anyone had one of the forbidden DNA ...

The Earth Space Force Military has a problem. Something so dangerous that they need the ultimate distraction. A way to keep all the news stations away from it. They need them to focus on it rather than the massive alien ‘thing’ being lowered into a pit in the desert near Area 51. They have decided that Keith and nine of his crew will be that distraction. They choose to drop off Keith, the hero starship captain, and a bunch of alien women off at Comic-Con for a surprise appearance. That is one of their problems. They also encounter several new and very dangerous alien races and must deal...

The crew chases down some unanswered questions that remained after their last adventure. This leads them to the Scavengers, who hide in places that no one wants to visit, and to another species that appears to have disappeared: the fuzzies. The more they discover about this species with a cute-sounding name, the less they like what they uncover. They encounter several new and very different aliens along the way, but the enigma of the portal remains unsolved. They finally believe they now have a safe way to send a ship back to M33 and search for answers. What they discover is that they are ...

In the first book, On Mars, Jason stumbled across the escape pod to a 3,500-year-old derelict spacecraft. The AI for the ship then informed Jason that he was now the Captain of a massive alien Starship due to him having traces of alien DNA. That 'should' have been good news. But the bad news was that Jason's DNA has an additional trait, one that shouldn't be there... The last time anyone had one of the forbidden DNA traits, it started the war that left the ship derelict. To fight the aliens that want him dead, Jason must become something from their nightmares... The second book starts with ...

In the first book, Ben had ordered a strange object from eBay. It turned out to be the missing part from an alien spacecraft. One with an AI that needed a crew so it could pass itself off as a non-AI ship. Having survived their first adventure in space, they now had a new, larger, and much faster ship. Returning to Earth should have been the easy part. They also had a wedding to plan. Unfortunately, nothing goes as planned. They are sent to a new destination in space to meet with a new alien species, with whom the other aliens' first contact didn't go very smoothly. Along the way, they ...

Ben, Chloe, Mark, and the others are off on another adventure, one in which they stumble across another war out in the depths of space. But, this time, there are no obvious good aliens and bad aliens, and things are not going their way. One encounter somehow morphs into a Cozy Alien Murder Mystery. Another involves a race composed of potentially poisonous toxic material that can shape shift. Then, they encounter even more aliens, and nothing is what it seems. The clues are there, but one wrong step, and there will be more dead aliens and possibly dead humans.

Are you eager to join the hundreds of people already profiting as insurance agents? Are you Feeling overwhelmed by the vast material, tight schedules, or fear of retakes? Well, I have something to tell you… Over the years, I’ve helped more than 200 people earn their insurance license. Most wanted the same things: a better lifestyle, more family time, or a higher income. But many saw their goals blocked by the exam—dense with technical terms and questions that felt overwhelming. From my experience, nearly 87% of the candidates I worked with had failed once or felt stuck.

Many felt blocked by the Property & Casualty exam — dense with technical definitions, policy forms, and tricky distinctions. From my experience, almost 80% of candidates who struggle do so not because of lack of effort, but because they try to memorize instead of understanding the logic behind the material. That’s the real challenge: it’s not about intelligence, it’s about structure. With the right step-by-step method, everything becomes clear, logical, and easy to retain — no more endless, confusing manuals.

Then they discover some more refugees, only some are not what they claim to be, and they land in the middle of another war, all while planning a wedding between Meera and Dylan. After that, the ship finds a derelict that looks like it came out of a 1950s campy movie, only one that someone shot full of holes.

Daniel Baker, Sue Glitch, Leon Price, and Vicki Ferdinand are embarking on a new adventure.

They need to recruit additional crew members for the mission. The trip will take months just to travel one way. They pick up some skilled mechanics and what they assume will be plenty of spare parts. Unfortunately, what they discover will require more than they brought with them. They find a war-ravaged planet, ...
