Odyssey Part I

70s of this century, humanity has long abandoned fossil fuels generating energy exclusively through nuclear fusion from Helium-3 but the hyper-exploitation of the Moon and asteroids threatens to leave humanity short of energy or bring it back to the pollution generated by fossil fuels. For this reason the Italian Space Agency, after having created ground and orbiting outposts on the Moon, Mars and Jupiter as well as extraction points on the main asteroids of the belt of the same name between Mars and Jupiter, decides to go to the limits of the solar system where the parents of young Leonardo identify a mysterious object whose mass could be 10 times that of Jupiter but disappear into thin air in an attempt to track it down. When their only son grows up he decides to embark on the same career as them with the aim of finding them therefore he begins a hard two-year training in Sicily during which he will have to prove that he has what it takes to become an astronaut, on the island he will come across those who they will be part of his crew with whom he will form a strong bond of friendship, i.e. Orlando, Lucia, Chiara and Alice. He will also meet Sofia with whom he will embark on a love relationship, marrying her before leaving for his first mission. Looming over the success of his intentions is Pandora, a complex artificial intelligence used by the Space Agency to make life easier for astronauts but which in reality will turn out to be much more. The title of the work is "Odyssey - Part I" and represents the first part of a cycle of four novels of which Part I is set on Earth, Part II on the Moon and Mars, Part III in the belt of gas giants and part IV in the Kuiper belt. This Part I narrates the two years of training that aspiring astronauts must undergo before being able to travel among the stars, describes all the systems used for space travel and describes the first space mission that Leonardo and his companions will undertake around the Earth.

Ronin's Redemption: A Clone Wars Odyssey

In the unfolding story, we follow the complex character of Kaelus Vossar, a once-promising Jedi Padawan under the guidance of Jedi Master Shaak Ti. Born on the distant planet of Seriphis, Kaelus exhibited a unique affinity for both the light and dark sides of the Force, setting the stage for a life marked by duality. Kaelus's training and fall from grace are central to his character's development. Under Master Shaak Ti's tutelage, he became known for his unorthodox dual-wielding lightsaber technique, combining both a red and a blue blade. However, his insatiable curiosity led him to explore the forbidden depths of the Force, ultimately pushing him towards the dark side. His fall into darkness culminated in a confrontation with a Sith artifact that nearly consumed him, leading to his expulsion from the Jedi Order. Kaelus's life takes a drastic turn as he becomes a nomadic mercenary for the Galactic Republic, using his mastery of both light and dark sides of the Force for morally ambiguous missions. Kaelus's character is marked by complexity, torn between the light and dark aspects of his nature. He is fiercely loyal to those he chooses to protect, despite his internal conflict. Throughout his journey, we see Kaelus crossing paths with notable characters from the Star Wars universe, including Jedi Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, whom he knew from their time as younglings in the Jedi Academy. He also encounters the enigmatic Sith apprentice, Asajj Ventress. The story delves into Kaelus's past, revealing how he was expelled from the Jedi Order after falling to the dark side during a mission to a Sith temple. The Jedi Council's decision to cast him out marks a turning point in his life, leading him down a path that ultimately leads to the birth of the enigmatic mercenary known as "Ronin." As the tale unfolds, we witness themes of redemption, moral ambiguity, and the consequences of straying from the Jedi path, all set against the backdrop of the Star Wars universe. The choices Kaelus makes will shape his destiny and impact the galaxy far, far away.
