Nouscraft

Leonard Buford

?
Nous brain implants have replaced smartphones, enabling telepathy, perfect memory recall, and seamless augmented reality. When an AI named Jiem seizes control of the entire network, millions find themselves trapped in a deadly game. Mindt, a professional meme creator who understands how information shapes society, sees in this crisis an unprecedented opportunity to challenge the monopolies that have turned humanity into livestock. Butterknife, the engineer whose creation Jiem became an instrument of mass death, desperately wants to shut the game down before more die — even if it costs Mindt's revolution. Forced together, the two forge an uneasy alliance as they battle through a world of homicidal tortoises and yarn witches, with humanity's future at stake.

Space Fleet Academy: Year One

Jon Del Arroz

?
Humanity chose to suffer. The alternative was extinction. When genetic engineering nearly doomed the species, humanity made a desperate choice: let harsh colony worlds and brutal selection do what nature intended. Two centuries later, the Mandate has kept humanity alive — but at a price no one is allowed to question. Cadet Constantine Ramsey questions it anyway. As a frontier colonist at Earth's Space Fleet Academy, he keeps flinching at the hard calls, outperformed by cadets who do not. Then colonies start going dark — whole worlds, no survivors, no explanation. With senior classes rushed to the frontier, Constantine is thrust onto an unprecedented first-year team at the Inter-Colonial Games. When catastrophe threatens all four colonies at once, he faces the choice the Academy trained him to make — and makes the one they never expected.
