Cyberpunks, swordswomen, centurions, grifters, and monsters stalk through Matthew X. Gomez’s first collection of short stories. It is a grab-bag collection of fantasy and science fiction, seasoned with a dash of horror. The stories have a focus on action and conflict, designed to deliver a spike of adrenaline to the listener's cerebral cortex.

Just as Earth begins to settle into the peace created between humanity and the Acram, a new threat appears in the form of machines, immortal beings capable of annihilating entire worlds in the blink of an eye.

The aftermath of near eradication at the hands of an alien race has left humanity blanketed in fear. Fain Jegga has suffered a demotion of epic proportions. Now, instead of being captain of Sodenia, he is the captain of a small recovery boat. Only Kya and a few high-ranking ESAF officers are still fighting to have Fain and his flight crew reinstated to serve on board Sodenia. And now it is more important than ever, as a new alien ship carrying a grave message has appeared in Earth’s skies.

Doomsday approaches rapidly through space. Humanity has lived in fear since the destruction left behind by the first alien scouts, knowing they will not survive the next attack. World governments scramble to develop ESAF, a program that hopes to secure and prepare Earth against another attack. Fain Jegga was just a boy when he witnessed the devastating alien attack firsthand and lost his parents. Now fully grown, he has trained relentlessly in a top-secret facility as part of ESAF’s search for Earth’s best answer to the alien threat.

A fair fight doesn't start with hunger. That will to live drives a desperate, hungry man to find solace on a train. After all, you've got to keep moving to survive. The only problem is that blending in with the passengers may be worse than getting caught.

Yet when they decide to leave Earth to cure him, they find themselves breaking galactic law to get it. Tank has always dreamed of escaping his village and finding his father, but the only way anyone can leave the village is to win the Ceremony, a bloodthirsty competition with a sole survivor.
