Ravaged by pirates, starvation looms for the crew of the submarine Alopias. Now responsibility falls on Christos Maris, second in command, to assume the mantle of leadership.
But roving bands of pirates are the least of his worries. Their submarine, built by the mysterious Shipmasons long ago, is dying. If they don’t save her, their lives will end too. Whispers of a legendary submarine, built just before the Flooding, give them hope they can save her.
But the deep doesn’t give up its secrets lightly, and Christos must use everything he’s learned to survive. His friends, family, and a shipwrecked girl, are putting their lives in his hands.
Dangers lurk in the deep that can swallow them whole, and there’s no certainty this treasure even exists. Will his gamble to protect their way of life pay off?

Our world is lost to time. Only our myths remain.

Once rain was a symbol of hope and harvest. Now it brings only death.

They leave him for dead. Unfortunately for them, he lives.

Torn between seeking justice or revenge, Galahad knows one thing for certain: that treasure is his, and he’ll do anything to reclaim it.

A totally inappropriate sci-fi comedy from the twisted minds of Russell Emmerson and Matt J Pike.
It could be worse for Captain Sarah Hart as she leads a dysfunctional crew of mercs on a dead-end mission to escort the Milky Pleasure fantasy cruiser out of the solar system. Until, that is, an alien species unleashes hell on every human settlement from the earth to Saturn’s moons. Yep, that’s definitely worse.
The race is now on to get that cruise ship full of fleshy fantasy seekers out of the solar system before our species becomes a footnote in someone else’s history.
But facing an unknown enemy with vastly superior technology, superior officers stuck together with red tape, a ship full of ignorant, high and confused patrons and a battle crew carrying more baggage than the passengers, well, perhaps she could just get a drink instead.
Either way, it’s going to be a wild ride.
