Ganymede is an enormous moon, larger than any other we’ve found, including our own, and may one day be the centerpiece of wider human settlements around Jupiter.

Colonizing Ganymede

Have you ever wondered if you're still alive when the first people will be landing on Mars?

Living On Mars

The epic sequel to Song of Silver, Flame Like Night. A fast-paced, riveting YA fantasy inspired by the mythology and folklore of ancient China. 

 Years ago, the Elantian colonizers invaded Lan's homeland and killed her mother in their search to uncover the Last Kingdom's greatest the location of its legendary four Demon Gods. Lan's mother devoted her life to destroying the Demon Gods, and Lan is determined to finish her mission. Yet, there are others searching for the gods, too.

Zen knew his soul was forfeit the moment he made a deal with the Demon God known as the Black Tortoise, but he's willing to lose himself if it means saving the Kingdom–and the girl–he loves. But to crush the colonizers who have invaded his land he needs more power than even a single Demon God can provide. He needs an army. And he knows exactly where he can find it–in the undead army his great grandfather lead decades ago.

The Elantians may have stolen their throne, but the battle for the Last Kingdom has only begun.

Dark Star Burning, Ash Falls White, By Amélie Wen Zhao, Read by Annie Q

The new Alien Earth inspired this track along with the entire Alien franchise.

---

[Verse 1: The Awakening]
Cold sweat in cryo, dreams gone stale
Drifting through the void on a coffin-ship trail
Weyland said “advance,” but they sold our skin
For a profit margin soaked in sin

Motion tracker ticks like a countdown clock
Facehugger kiss, now you’re shell-shocked
They send us blind to the black unknown
But the monster’s in the mirror, grown in our own

[Pre-Chorus]
We were sent to colonize, now we die in lines
Every scream, every breath, redesigned
Synthetic smiles, bio-code rot
They own the stars—we just rot in the plot

[Chorus]
No one left to hear you cry
When the breach spills open and the shadows rise
From the egg to the host to the birth of the beast
They feast, we’re meat, and the silence speaks

[Verse 2: The Experiments]
Prometheus burned, and David played God
With black goo and lies spun from façade
Alien kings, queens, drones in the dark
Built from our bodies like it’s just a spark

Prodigy City, blood in the streets
Hybrid minds and synthetic cheats
Mother lost, no safe return
Just cold steel corridors and lessons unlearned

[Bridge: The Voice of the Corporation] (Distorted/Spoken)
“You are expendable. Property.
Observe. Retrieve. Survive if necessary.”
—Priority: Specimen integrity.

[Verse 3: The Earth Invasion]
Now they’re crawling on our home-world soil
Chests burst open, empires boil
From sulfur moons to the cradle blue
They lied to us all—and you always knew

Five companies feeding on fear
Upload your soul, delete your tears
And the android cries, but it’s not for us
Just data and dust and the end of trust

[Chorus]
No one left to hear you pray
When the hive comes calling and the lights decay
From the breach to the scream to the acid rain
No name, no grave, just corporate gain

[Outro: Whispered/Fragmented]
Xeno hiss in the vent…
Blood blooms in zero-G…
Ripley’s ghost still walks…
Wendy dreams… but she’s not free…
