An Empire intent on flexing its power As an elite vessel plunges itself into the unknown And all of it, pinned on a rescue of frail hope None would ever questioned the fact that deep space travel is a dirty business. Interplanetary trade is the driver for conquering new worlds and is the reason the Empire intends to colonize the galactic arm. No one stood in their way until they began picking up a distress signal from one of their own. The Champollion was bathed in technology that was nothing short of state of the art. Its crew was handpicked to aid in the journey of exploration, and with Rutherford as their Captain, the Empire trusted them implicitly to expand their spatial bounds -- until they went too far. A space opera that weaves in and out of repressed worlds and the controlling tentacles of the Empire, of fear and the fearless, and of one women who must rise to the occasion and find a way to 'put it on the strength'. The powerful have something to fear.

Marteen has dreams, aspirations and absolutely no idea what he's doing or what he's up against. Marteen lives in a world where those who can find a connection with the wealthy and powerful are rewarded, the rest linger in abject poverty. Marteen has a loose plan to escape his limited life in this top-heavy society. There is one job within the confines of the metropolis that can raise him above his static station. Determined to achieve his goal, Marteen embarks on a chaotic and bumbling journey through the concrete class system epitomizing the phrase, be careful what you wish for. Welcome to the arcane and Kafkaesque world of The Concierge.

The year is 2079 and colonizing Mars is about to become a very dangerous business. Corporations are the drivers of a process that governments desperately want to regulate. Investors expect massive profits from taking such risks. With the world teetering on global catastrophe, Xavier Pentagrass has been sent to Mars to run the Red Planet Pioneer Corporation. As all are about to find out it will soon become his personal cause. The technology driving the colonization process is the development of a new android race known as Dextoids. Breakthroughs in quantum computing have allowed for their manifestation. Humanity has grown to rely upon these creations for every single facet of their existence. Out in the barren plains of Mars two Dextoids have escaped their minders. Their extensive knowledge can't prepare them for freedom. Unhinged from humanity, they will shape the attitude for how the Red Planet will be colonized, and how mankind will treat the Dextoid population for years to come. A genetically engineered adventure, welcome to Red Planet Pioneer.
