H. G. Wells, Zenith Golden Quill

Sinopsis

They came from Mars. They brought heat-rays and destruction. Humanity was not prepared.

In The War of the Worlds, H. G. Wells tells the terrifying story of a Martian invasion that devastates Earth. Through the eyes of an ordinary Englishman, we witness society's collapse as giant war machines reduce cities to ash. What begins as scientific curiosity becomes a desperate struggle for survival—and a chilling reflection on empire, technology, and human fragility.

In the Service of Luna

John E. Siers

On-the-job training can be hazardous to your health… 
Lorna Greenwood hopes the Lunar Free State’s Fleet Academy will prepare her to follow in her grandmother’s legendary footsteps. Her roommate Nova Sakura has already spent time in the LFS Marines and wants to move up to the officer ranks. 
First, though, they have to survive four years of training. Military service gets real for Lorna when the assault carrier Omaha Beach comes under fire during her first year training cruise. Nova’s first year cruise aboard the light cruiser Hydra seems pretty routine, until she’s called upon to take charge of a squad of Marines boarding a ship full of murderous pirates. 
And nothing prepares them for the challenges they face after graduation, when they’re both assigned to the same ship and find themselves facing an alien enemy in a distant star system, in what could be the start of another interstellar war. 
Two young women put their lives on the line in the service of Luna…even if that means leaving family, friends, and their hearts behind.

Journey to Torcia

Jared Woodcox

Three casters pursue their destiny. A world’s balance hangs by a thread. Can the very shadows that bind Malgar's fate also be its undoing?
In the land of Malgar, where the essence of balance once weaved through the very fabric of life, shadow casters—masters of the arcane, summoning creatures and weapons born of shadow—long stood as vanguards of harmony. But when fear sparked a purge that intended to extinguish their ancient art, the world teetered on the brink of chaos.
But turmoil brought forth reform and rising from the ashes of distrust, three young casting trainees, Kaito, Sumi, and Nigel, emerge as beacons of hope within the reinstated Legion of Shadow Casters. Together they must prove their worth in a society split by fear and prejudice, where their very existence could reignite former conflicts with those that only recently ceased to hunt them.
Caught in the crossfire of tradition and innovation, the fledgling officers face the daunting task of mending a world fractured by the Shadow Caster Purge, navigating perilous circumstances where their kind is both needed and feared. The once-hallowed art of shadow casting, now revered by some and suppressed by others, teeters on the edge of resurgence or oblivion.
With traitorous threats lurking and societal rifts deepening, the path to harmony is perilously shadowed by doubts and conspiracies. As they grapple with looming anti-caster sentiments and the insidious tendrils of a rogue's plot, the trio must learn to bear the weighty mantle of their new roles in a world far more dangerous and complex than they presumed.
Can Kaito’s unwavering confidence, Sumi’s relentless determination, and Nigel’s search for belonging withstand the crucible of their first true test?
Or will the shadow of history loom large, threatening to unravel the delicate peace they've sworn to protect?
