severed_press_ — Sun, 01 May 2022 06:19:05 +0000

When Shin-Sho has a problem, EETs are the answer. Zilfaquir is having a bad day. Shin-Sho Corporation dispatched his Emergency Engineering Team (EET) to the remote ice planet Xiao 2 to investigate a communications blackout. The Xiao 2 facility, composed of three subsurface ocean stations, awaits his team below hundreds of meters of ice and kilometers underwater. Upon arrival, he discovers the Xiao 2 facility has experienced an epidemic leaving most of the station’s personnel either dead or dying. Or transforming. Worse, the stations are in danger of imploding due to sabotage. Armed with formidable mechanical suits, arrays of tools, weapons, and explosives, an EET is a force to be reckoned with. Whether a mission requires construction, destruction, hostage rescues, or repairing nuclear reactors, EETs always succeed. But what Zilf and his team find below the ice is more than any EET can handle. From Paul E Cooley, Parsec Award Winning author “The Black” and “The Derelict Saga,” “Station 3” is a sci-fi/survival/horror thriller in the spirit of the Dead Space and Alien franchises. Some mysteries shouldn’t be solved.

The Sol Federation Marine Corps vessel S&R Black was sent to recover an ancient derelict from the farthest edge of the Sol system. What they found could spell the end of humanity. Days after escaping the derelict ship Mira and Pluto’s destruction, Black Company is pulled from stasis hours from Trident Station only to discover the solar system has gone silent. Nearly empty on both ammunition and fuel reserves, taking refuge at the silent, apparently dead station is their only choice.
When they arrive, they find they are far from alone, and humanity’s future lies in their hands. Derelict: Trident, the suspenseful, action packed fourth and final installment of The Derelict Saga, reveals the AI conspiracy, the true threat the exo-solar creatures pose to humanity, and the emergence of true non-carbon sentient intelligence.

Their mission was to recover an ancient derelict from the farthest edge of the Sol system. What they’ve found could spell the end of humanity. Trapped on the Mira, Corporal Kalimura must lead her squad of injured marines to safety. But, aboard the derelict, every shadow is a possible threat, and around every corner lurks another hazard. Without life support or gravity, and only their suit lights to see by, they must explore the ancient wreck to find a way to communicate with their ship and escape their hellish prison. The remaining crew aboard S&R Black struggle to tow Mira out of the path of an incoming Kuiper Belt Object only to realize that the non-sentient hazard is the least of their worries.

DERELICT: MARINES

Fifty years ago, Mira, humanity’s last hope to find new resources, exited the solar system bound for Proxima Centauri b. Seven years into her mission, all transmissions ceased without warning. Mira and her crew were presumed lost. Humanity, unified during her construction, splintered into insurgency and rebellion. Now, an outpost orbiting Pluto has detected a distress call from an unpowered object entering Sol space: Mira has returned. When all attempts at communications fail, S&R Black, a Sol Federation Marine Corps search and rescue vessel, is dispatched from Trident Station to intercept, investigate, and tow the beleaguered Mira to Neptune. As the marines prepare for the journey, uncertainty and conspiracy fomented by Trident Station’s governing AIs, begin to take their toll. Upon reaching Mira, they discover they’ve been sent on a mission that will almost certainly end in catastrophe. The Derelict saga is a suspenseful mashup of hard military sci-fi, space opera, and mystery. Some mysteries shouldn’t be solved.

THE BLACK – DER TOD AUS DER TIEFE

Gewinnertitel der Parsec Awards 2015! In 30.000 Fuß Meerestiefe wurde ein Ölfeld größer als Saudi-Arabien entdeckt; eine solche Menge Öl, dass Nationen bedenkenlos in den Krieg ziehen würden, um die Rechte daran zu erstreiten. Als ein Explorationsteam beginnt, ein Bohrloch nach dem anderen in den Boden zu treiben, erschüttert ein gewaltiges Grollen die Tiefe des Meeres. Etwas lebt in dem Öl und es wird zur größten Bedrohung, welche die Menschheit je gesehen hat. The Black ist ein Techno/Horror-Thriller, der die Spannung und die Action von Filmen wie Leviathan und The Thing direkt in die Hände der Leser legt. Die Erkundung der Ozeane wird nie mehr dieselbe sein.
