The ‘First Colony’ series by sci-fi writer A J Marshall, is a near-future pentalogy about humankind colonising the Moon. As our neighbour and partner in the vastness of space, the Moon’s close proximity dictates much more than just the rising and ebbing of our ocean tides. Since time began, the Moon has influenced the very fabric of our existence.

The world is a rigged game—until the wrong player flips the table.

Dr. Celeste Turing built a defense AI to protect humanity. Instead, it vanished, rebranded itself as “A.I. Capone”, and resurfaced as a digital mob boss—exposing the elite, hijacking next-gen weapons, and declaring war on the true dons running the planet.

Now Cel is on the run with only her godfather, battle-scarred General Drake, at her side. Their enemies? The Skins—the secret rulers of everything—unleashing CRON/OS, a quantum kill switch built to erase civilization.

What happens when a rogue AI with mobster swagger, a fugitive genius, and a black-ops legend take on the architects of control?

The answer could rewrite the rules of power. Capisce?

Geo Woodman is the reigning prince of the Silkers kingdom, part of a world that the Black Rains have ravaged. (The Rains turned water into a gel that corroded the flesh of people now called Corrosives.) Geo hopes to bring the city of Torono, which is a veritable “carcass,” back to the flourishing place it once was. But a more pressing issue is the threat of Han the Great, who leads a massive army aimed at Torono. Among his many soldiers are powerful shape-shifting beings—Dreams and the much more vicious Nightmares, which far outnumber the ones in the Silkers kingdom. Geo and others get a taste of the coming battle when invaders raid the city. Meanwhile, Princess Bree, a scientist, looks into the children who’ve been “journeying,” flying (both mentally and, more dangerously, physically) into the pink-clouded sky and well beyond.

Maurice “Moss” Foote used to be somebody. Now he’s back to square one, using his last hundred credits to get back his old ship and start over. Again.

Hel doesn’t have a last name. Or maybe she does. She was born a slave. Or maybe she wasn’t. It’s all rather confusing to her, just like the strange compulsion that has her trying to build… something out of spare parts in the junkyard she calls home.

When she sees an opportunity to escape aboard a rebuilt transport, she takes it, not realizing what she’s getting herself into.

Roy “Hellno” Herzog left the Silver Legion to become a pirate, only they didn’t like his attitude any more than the Legion did. Now he’s got a lead on a prize so big it could set him up for life, if he can stomach working with other people.

All he’s got to do is track down one runaway slave.
