Attorney Shawn Rossi could have earned a fortune. He could have worked at big firms in booming cities and sunnier climes. Instead, he returned to Pittsburgh, the struggling steel town of his youth—to help regular people. And now he’s doubting his life decisions. His wife has just died, and his teenage daughters are getting piercings and staying out all night. His professional life is equally in shambles: He’s handling an unwinnable estate contest and representing the one person he vowed never to get near again: his ex-college flame, Marjorie.

Evil men flew an unmarked ship into Union Fleet space docks and marked it for destruction to hide the evil they had done. But at those very gates of hell did I find hope - a single leaf in the wind. In our darkest hour, did John Korbin first step foot upon the decks of the Tesseract and change everything. He knew nothing of the evil that was done, but he found the crew that evil men thought were lost and gone forever. And save the Tesseract? To use his own words: Damned straight, he did.

Evil men conspired to have a starship destroyed to hide the evil they had done. They intended for its crew to disappear forever. In all of that chaos at the end of the war, the Anoza somehow found me. They chose me to save the Tesseract. I didn’t know any of that when I bought a ship that was never meant for sale. I didn’t know any of that when I first stepped foot upon its decks and changed everything...but I know it now. And save the Tesseract? Damned straight, I will. I am John Korbin, outworlder to the nines. By the end of the war, I had lost everything.

The epic tale of The Tesseract Codex continues as it drops you right into the middle of the action with a gang of interplanetary mobsters hunting down a Special Forces agent in the streets of Habston, determined to kill him. It quickly became a running gun battle as John Korbin and the crew of the Tesseract tried to save him. So Special Forces formed a plan to hire the Tesseract to secretly deliver their agents to Daggan-7. Their plan would end this business with the interplanetary gangsters once and for all.

John Korbin had lost everything, but he was an outworlder to the nines. He had survived the war. He had survived the loss of his wife and daughter and his whole family, but would he survive what followed? And then there was the Tesseract. It was a ship built with alien technology, but the mystery only began there. John should have known that when something looks too good to be true that it generally is, but he bought the Tesseract anyway.

We were told that only the finest of mankind ventured forth from Earth into space. But if you ask any of the other intelligent species, they will tell you fast and quick that where mankind goes, evil grows. Evil follows us in our jump wakes like a foul stench. According to them, mankind was cast into the outer darkness because of the evil in his heart. Four millennia later, Earth had become a distant memory. Explorers sent back to find it only found a burned-out cinder, where Earth should be.

The Black Pearl was more than just the most advanced quantum technology starship in Union Fleet. Captain Jack Falco has made it the Kryonean Empire’s worst nightmare.

I am Captain Jack Falco. I am Recon flesh and Recon bone. In the fog of war, my Talon fighter was blown deep into Kryonean space. All that Jessica and I wanted to do was to work our way home as best we could. Jessica is my artificial copilot, but you would never know that looking at her. Slowly, we worked our way through uncharted enemy space, stopping only for fuel and to chart the area around us. By our own estimates, it would take us a year to get home.

I am not crazy. I told you that Elm Cove really did exist in this time stream, and I was right. When I was just a young boy, I was caught up in an alien insurrection happening right here on Earth, but I was the only human that saw anything. No one believed me. I was just a kid, they said. It was all a bad dream, but it wasn’t.... It wasn’t. Even so, my life went on, but I was never the same.

Mankind had surely been cast into the outer darkness for a reason. Fate had saved this remnant of mankind, and he was not willing that any who belonged to him were lost. So, once more, Fate tested mankind in the crucible of time to separate the gold from the slag. The crew of the Green Jinn stood in the River of Fate up to their necks as they were sent in an ironic reality inversion to Octoria-3 to save one old enemy from yet another enemy, but that was just the beginning of this mission.

I am Chon ko Gonin, Captain of the Green Jinn. They call me the Dragon Warrior for a reason - I am Evil’s worst nightmare. I am Recon, the tip of the spear. Fate sends me where angels fear to tread. I am no damned angel. Then the desperate plea came in from Kianori on a distant world beyond the farthest reaches of the Union frontier. Even worse, she couldn’t tell us where she was, but that was just the beginning of our woes. My name is Phoebe. With the help of the Council of the Crescent Moon and my time-space orb, we reached across the vastness of space to find Kianori.

As I recall, it all started with a mystical dream. I awoke from that dream only to find that we had a mission the Five Moons could not handle. Can you even believe that? The Five Moons. So it was that my father brought me over the quantum portal to a secret - a whole new ship - the Green Jinn. Everything about the Green Jinn was an illusion, and nobody even knew that she existed. Admiral Dallas Blake made me captain of the Green Jinn. I am Chon ko Gonin.

Dragon Eyes began this bold science fiction adventure. Then Sibyls' Orb dragged you inexorably into the beating heart of this mystical walk on the wild side of science fiction. But now, this twisted tale of mystical intrigue weaves your mind forever into The Ojunta Stone. On a distant anoza world, a meeting was held of Council of the Crescent Moon in the ancient Temple of Shem Kazat. Seven times they circled the sacred fire. Within the Sibyl's Orb, only a brief vision would give Toron a clue to hunt down this ancient evil.

Chon Ko Gonin, Captain of the Green Jinn, ventured into unexplored territory in search of a wanted interplanetary criminal with the best of intentions. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Right from the start, the Green Jinn found itself dragged into battle to save an ancient people from Merc invaders. Ancient forces of good, and evil fought for control of Sibyl's Orb and dragged Chon ko Gonin into the middle of it.

Before the time of man, according to the ancient legends, the gods walked the earth. The Egyptians had a name for this time. They called it "Zep Tepi" - the first time. That time is where this story began. Five Moons: Zep Tepi picks up the story 10,000 years later.... It all started with an emergency call from a world at the farthest edges of explored space. “You are our only hope,” they tell Dallas Blake and the crew of the Five Moons. A deadly virus will kill them all if the Five Moons doesn’t get the vaccine to them right away.

My own people, Anoza not humans, came in the night to kill me, to kill my unborn child, to finish an ancient evil. Only Dallas Blake, wounded and bleeding, stood against them, but he did. It was all that we could do to just fight for our very lives, but that was not the end of it. The evil ones had kidnapped my father. How much worse could this get? To rescue my father, the five moons would be pitted against unknown forces with technology a million years more advanced.

In our darkest hour, Dallas Blake first stepped foot upon the decks of the Five Moons and changed everything. He didn’t know that evil men had conspired to destroy the ship and its crew when he bought a ship that was never meant for sale. Dallas found the crew they thought was lost and gone forever. He saved the Five Moons.
