Roughneck

Zander Corvus is a hero of an indeterminate genus once found amnesiac in the Milky Way Galaxy whom begrudgingly finds himself stuck in the middle of a galactic power struggle in the Andromeda Galaxy. During this turmoil, he continues his search for the truth of his origin, and the past he can't remember. Along with his friends, Paul (a roughneck geneticist & Captain of the starship, Ascension), Lee (resident human astrophysicist, looking for love in all the wrong places), and their newest crew member, Vranaie (a warrior woman from a mythical species of Earth's ancient past), Zander & the rest of the crew of the Ascension learn that other mythical Earth creatures are also present in the Andromeda Galaxy & they all need the help of true heroes. Is the Ascension the bastion of hope they've been waiting for? Will Zander finally find his answers in another galaxy? Will Paul grow beyond a trigger-happy, violence-hungry sociopath? Will Lee find love in another galaxy? What other heroes might they ally with in this ever-expanding world of sci-fi & mythos? Can the evil Black Angel Ascension Legion be overcome, and will they even truly survive this ordeal? These answers & more will be explored in the first installment of Ascension Chronicles: Andromeda Rebellion.Zander Corvus is a hero of an indeterminate genus once found amnesiac in the Milky Way Galaxy whom begrudgingly finds himself stuck in the middle of a galactic power struggle in the Andromeda Galaxy.

In a world where it's normal to see people shooting lasers from their eyes, shape-shifting into members of another species, or lifting a truck with just one hand, our MC struggles day-to-day trying to meet repayment deadlines for his grandma's medical bills. The Outer Lands are plagued by rabid beasts, mysterious and dangerous monsters, and roughneck bandits who survive outside of The Wall despite the low survival rate. 'Supers' make their living by venturing outside of The Wall in search of valuable metals, plant life and treasures. Not coming back through The Wall is just another daily occurrence. Our MC works as a 'Super', his power being classified as 'Accelerated Reactions', so that he can complete the lower tiered 'tickets' for the monetary rewards that go toward giving his younger sister a chance to continue her studies at the University of Heroes, as well as paying for his grandma's medical fees at the hospital where she is bedridden. Follow the story of how the other-wise mundane life of our MC turns into one of epic proportions after his encounter with a group of bandits trying top-secret stolen technology.

Hardy Cates is self-made, charming - and determined to carry out his private revenge against the Travis family. So when he crashes a Travis family wedding, the last thing he expects is to find himself kissing his adversary Haven Travis in a dark corner. Hardy has done many things in his life he's not proud of, but now he's trying to rid himself of his roughneck past, which doesn't mean falling in love with a rival - no matter how beautiful she is. Haven, likewise, vows to stay far away from Hardy. Having had her heart quite recently broken - and her body battered and bruised by the man she thought she had loved - she's through with men. That is, until she discovers that the temptation of a tender-hearted, blue-eyed devil is hard to resist. And then, when a menace from Haven's past appears, Hardy may be the only one to save her. .
