The Cronian Incident
A disgraced investigator who once worked the Martian beat, Jeremiah Ward now serves his sentence in a mining colony on Mercury.
His golden opportunity arises when a member of a powerful faction on Titan vanishes and Ward is promised, in exchange for investigating this man’s disappearance, a clean slate and a second chance.
Unwittingly, Ward becomes embroiled in a conspiracy centuries in the making and begins to realise his one shot at redemption may cost him his life.

The Jovian Manifesto
Months have passed since the incident on Titan. For Emile and the Formists, life is returning to normal now that their enemies have been dealt with. Or so they thought.
On the Jovian world of Europa, a mysterious document has been released that threatens to reveal everything. The Jovian Manifesto, as it’s called, has the Outer Worlds up in arms and the Inner Worlds fearing a civil war.
The Solar System is on the verge of ignition, and all that is needed is a spark.
Praise for The Jovian Manifesto:
- “Exciting plot with a good foundation in science. This is not surprising given the author’s expertise as an excellent science writer for Universe Today. Inspiring ending. Highly recommended!” – Prof. Abraham Loeb, Harvard University
- “Excellent and fascinating story. For those of us readers who have joined the Interplanetary Accord, the second book in The Formist Series doesn’t disappoint! More action, more planets and moons, all interspersed with a valid political story.” – Heather Archuletta
- Charles W. Gregory
- “Lots of action, character development, plot twists… I also really love the whole premise of the book(s), colonization of our solar system. Realistic science fiction rather than fairly tail stories based on unrealistic advances in technology that would make Albert Einstein do multiple palm to foreheads . Although there is some very cool tech in these stories!” – Cameron Woodbridge

The Frost Line Fracture
The Outer Worlds are engulfed in conflict. The Solar Assembly are preparing to send troops to intervene, a move which threatens to thrust the entire Solar System into civil war.
On Mars, Emile Chandraskher and his Formist Faction, are preparing the final stages of their decades-long plan for ultimate control. In the midst of this, an unlikely group of dissenters and misfits emerge. And they have a score to settle!
Praise for The Forst Line Fracture:
“Having read the first two books, I wondered how the series would end and wrap up all its loose threads. Glad to say, not only did the author wrap up all the loose ends, but he did it in a way that I felt satisfied. There’s a whole cast of fun characters, some awesome battles, intrigue and more for folks to enjoy in a sci-fi tale. If you enjoyed Cronian Incident and Jovian Manifesto, it’s likely you’ll enjoy Frost Line Fracture as well.” –Rami Ungar the Writer

Short Stories
Turncoats
In the distant future, humanity has become fractured by a war of secession. On all sides, loyalty is the highest virtue, and betrayal is the greatest crime. It is a time made for people like Franz Capra, a man who specializes in eliminating people who break faith with their side.
His latest job: pose as an enemy recruiter, infiltrate a group of traitors, and eliminate them. The mission is straightforward enough and will take him from one corner of known space to the other. A simple job and nothing he can’t handle.
The closer Capra gets to completing the mission, the more things don’t seem to add up. In this time of divided loyalties, everyone is forced to choose a side. But as the lines that divide them become more and more blurred, Capra will have a hard time figuring out which side he’s really on.
In these twelve shorts, science communicator and science fiction author Matt Williams takes readers on a ride that explores several possible futures. From machine learning and nanotechnology to interstellar exploration, readers are treated to stories that explore the rapidly accelerating pace of change and how it will affect our lives.
Stories in this volume include AZ-286, Quota, Repute, Upgrade, Boltzmann’s Brainchild, Masquerade, Chetana, PHILLMVTT, Organics, In Bello Proditio, Gravitation, and Apotheosis.
