About this listen
Alien life awaits humanity in the deepest of cold…
Propulsion scientist Dr. Todd Cunningham was an astronaut headed for outer space until budget cuts killed the mission—and his lifelong dream. Now, he's just an obscure expert in fusion-powered space travel, a professor buried in an ever-increasing pile of work.
But when a daring mission is approved to travel to Europa, Jupiter's frozen moon, Cunningham is thrust back into the spotlight by the very man he blames for ending his NASA career, and he finds himself joining the ranks of NASA astronauts on a groundbreaking journey to challenge humanity's understanding of life in the universe.
As the crew ventures into the unknown, their mission to uncover alien life beneath the icy surface quickly turns perilous. Battling treacherous terrain, unforeseen threats, and the ghosts of his past, Cunningham must navigate a deadly landscape where survival is anything but guaranteed.
Filled with real science and fascinating details, Chaos Terrain is that unique blend of fact and fiction that could completely change how you see life in the galaxy—and humanity's future.

The last survivors of the Ibecci race escape their doomed planet in the Barnard System after a violent flare eruption of their host star. They set for Earth, which they had visited 12,000 years earlier, arriving in the year 2062 to a near-future Earth that is in decline. The Ibecci plead with Earth to grant them shelter after 13 years of living in space. Earth fails to respond and the battle ensues pitting nations of Earth against an enlightened space faring civilization that is prepared to fight for its survival.

After the majority of his body is destroyed during a high-risk operation, Aiden Thorn is subjected to an experimental, potentially lifesaving procedure… one he never tacitly agreed to undergo. With no choice but to see the unorthodox new process through, he accepts his fate and works to adapt to his new life. But when an intergalactic corporation steps in and essentially claims ownership of Aiden and everyone like him, he is forced to do the two things he does best… survive, and fight.

All his life, Mark Fields has dreamed of joining the Defense Force to fight the vicious, alien Exlian, just like the rest of his renowned family. But so far, he’s … a dishwasher, trapped in a dead-end job with no powers, no money, and even fewer friends. But an encounter with a dying woman changes everything—granting him the abilities he needs to join the training camps—and his life finally feels like it’s turning around, faster than a movie martial-arts montage (just ignore the weird cat).

Stephanie Harrington had always expected to be a forest ranger on her homeworld of Meyerdahl until her parents relocated to the frontier planet of Sphinx in the far distant Star Kingdom of Manticore. It should have been the perfect new home - a virgin wilderness full of new species of every sort, just waiting to be discovered. But Sphinx is a far more dangerous place than ultra-civilized Meyerdahl, and Stephanie's explorations come to a sudden halt when her parents lay down the law: no trips into the bush without adult supervision!
