His Courier3.1 operation system checked out. His teleportation chambers were state of the art, and he knew they would revolutionize the world as we knew it. But in a cruel twist of timing, something draws near which threatens not only his dream, but humanity as a whole. A 'supermassive' black hole is on a collision course with the Milky Way galaxy, and there is no stopping it. Could it be that Dane was inspired to design his system for such a time as this? What do we do when we face an inescapable threat that seeks to annihilate everything we know?

Sage Maddox has been turned. Determined to penetrate Nero's inner circle on an assassination mission, he has fallen prey to the sadistic Emperor's brainwashing, and time is running out. Meanwhile, Sage's father, Colonel Thomas Drexler, and Darius, the former High Vassal to Emperor Nero, prepare to unmask the totalitarian despot in a public display at the Gloriosa Revelatio. The Fifth Column man is in place, and all seems ready. However, the slightest hiccup in plans—or in fidelity—could spell certain doom for the Defiance.

A new era of conversations. Real access, untold stories, and behind the scenes perspectives from those who played the game, cover it, and shape it.

Sergeant Cameron "Jet" Shipley lost everything to the gorgons. But his loss doesn't stop there. In a world rife with post-apocalyptic danger, Cameron has lost faith in the integrity of his own Command. As the truth about the gorgons and the corrupt nature of those in power is revealed, Cameron must join in an inevitable revolt against those who refuse to see the reality of the situation: power corrupts, even on the very brink of extinction.

The creatures arrived on June 6th, 2026, by the hundreds of thousands, silently drifting down out of the sky, hovering at a geostationary orbit for three months all over the planet, taking up positions. No one knew what they wanted...why they came...or why they wouldn't just go away. And then, three months later, the unthinkable happened. They suddenly came to life, hunting us down. We called them gorgons—after the mythical creature Medusa—because their eyes had the power to paralyze us with just one look.

Sergeant Cameron 'Jet' Shipley was only six years old when they silently descended through Earth's skies in June of 2026, annihilating 85% of us. 16 years later, Earth is a wasteland, and humanity is painfully familiar with an inescapable truth: one look into the eyes of a gorgon, and it's all over. Terror lurks around every corner, and the rules of survival are simple: stay quiet, move quickly, and don't ever look.

It has been eleven years after an alien invasion wiped out 85% of humanity. Most survivors live in underground bunkers called 'Blockades' under military protection. The rest are scattered abroad, eking out an existence in the shadows, avoiding gorgons at all costs. In this new dystopian, post-apocalyptic world, four key figures emerge after the alien invasion: Rosalita Campion. Miguel Monzon. Allison Trudy. Joseph Bassett.

Maximillian has defected. The god-king Nero has bled. And now, the High Vassal has stolen an AirGuard and sought shelter among Earth's last surviving military stronghold: The United Kingdom. But in an unthinkable twist, Colonel Thomas Drexler's son, Sage, has also switched sides, joining up with the youth organization Friends of Nero. What the Colonel doesn't know is that Sage desires to infiltrate Nero's inner circle and kill him, bringing vengeance and justice for all the Christians who have paid the ultimate price.

When a man with power believes he's God, mankind doesn't have a prayer. When Constantine Jedidiah Goodfellow shot up through the senate, people were all-too surprised and delighted to see someone in the prime of life wanting to heal wounds, bring people together, and bring peace, so they elected him President. His aim, however, was to bring the exact opposite. The year is 2113, and Christianity is under siege. A massive virus has torn across the planet and killed off half of the world’s population and its leaders.

After being betrayed by the very people he once trusted, Cameron is now a renegade. There’s nothing more dangerous than a soldier with nothing left to lose. One leader’s plans are outed; the threat of nuclear annihilation is nothing to his desire for revenge. Thousands of lives hang in the balance. But Cameron’s team—the ragtag resistance—refuse to surrender. Operation Dewdrop offers hope for humanity.

In a land long ago, but not too long ago so as to forget, a young boy is praised for his valiance in battle and his strength and bravery. He wields his sword high above his head and everyone praises his name. He is a warrior! His joy is his weapon, and he brings joy to all people far and near. People look to him to feel better, to be able to smile, and to lift their own heads high.

What if you could prevent 9/11? What if you had the power to see the future, but every glimpse you caught filled you with terror? Would you dare to intervene, even if it meant possibly even causing the very calamity you were trying to prevent? This is the dilemma facing 28-year-old meteorologist Roland Bishop from Jersey City.

Far, far away, yet not too far so as to defy belief, there lies a fantastical world filled with dragons, wargs, and ogres. In this world, a young boy finds solace battling creatures. The boy is determined and brave, using his battles as a way to escape from his worst enemy, one of inner turmoil: Shame. Shame over what he did. Shame over who he was becoming. Shame over his very identity. So, since he couldn't defeat shame, the next best thing were the evil creatures that called him names. The names hurt, because they were true.

The resistance deposed President Jean Graham, destroyed the gorgon queen, and leveled the funnel, which was stealing our oceans. But the victory was short-lived. A second craft now approaches, trying to re-establish communication with its predecessor. Earth's survivors have only just been reemerging out of the shadows for a desperate two and a half years. The horrible truth is confirmed: the enemy is coming for them once more. And now they know precisely who led the revolt: none other than President Vance Cardona himself.

Far, far away, yet not too far so as to defy belief, there lived two brothers. They were playing on a hillside one day, when the skies grew dark. The clouds rolled in, and lightning began to strike. A great, dark spirit stabbed through the air toward them, and, despite their efforts, it overpowered them. Prince Brennan's Ring and Prince Asher's Sword were useless. Their enemy was far too powerful, and they were very frightened. But then, their father the King showed up with the Book of Power, and saved the day!
