Defying Gravity – Chapter One

October 1947“We have reached the moon, sir,” the pilot’s voice crackled over the radio. “Nuclear torpedo ready to launch. Destination distance, five miles.”The general’s face was a neutral mask. His hawkish eyes were sharp, and his lips were set into a firm line. “Launch.”A loud whooshing filled the audio. A second later, the torpedo appeared onContinue reading “Defying Gravity – Chapter One”

What is Earth’s Secret Alliance?

E.S.A. is kinda like Star Trek meets Star Wars meets Stargate meets The Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it’s nothing like them.
