As if life in the outworlds wasn’t already dangerous enough, the Corporate War ended in total chaos. By then, even Union Fleet Command itself had been infiltrated by the Syndicate.

In the early 1970s, John Miller bootstrapped a tech company on a remote Native American reservation in his home state North Dakota. In the middle of a recession, out-of-control inflation, and nationwide political unrest amongst Indian American activists. He started up with no capital. His only product was soon to be replaced by the silicon chip. Thirty years later, Miller sold his company for 18 million dollars.

High expectations come with being labeled “the next Mickey Mantle.” But once the media or an organization utters that phrase, it becomes an albatross. The expectation is that the player will become one of the greatest players of all time—not a good player, not even a star—a superstar of the brightest magnitude.

In the beginning was the ship, and the ship was a light unto mankind. And the light shines into the darkness, but the darkness does not comprehend the light. And so the ship took a name unto itself—the Tesseract. It all started with an emergency call from a world at the farthest edges of explored space. “You are our only hope,” they told John Korbin and the crew of the Tesseract. A deadly virus would kill them all if the Tesseract did not get the vaccine to them right away.

In the beginning, evil humans conspired to destroy the Tesseract and kill its crew to hide the evil they had done, but I refused to give up. I would fight them to the end! In our darkest hour, indeed at the very gates of Hell, did my father find a single leaf in the wind, John Korbin. My father found John Korbin, but I chose him to save my ship. John Korbin set foot upon the decks of the Tesseract and changed everything. He not only saved my ship, but he found the crew that evil men thought was lost and gone forever. He made all the difference. He set me free.

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 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.
