Custodian of the Cosmos Series

In the sprawling steel corridors of the Age of Discovery, a colossal interstellar cargo vessel, Kasey Lee toils in the shadows as a Custodial Technician, a title that barely masks the gritty reality of a janitor's life in space.   Amidst the stars, a relentless storm brews as the Ides, a fearsome alien race, unleashes a savage onslaught on Earth's distant outposts. The Age, once a silent giant of commerce, is now thrust into the heart of a galactic conflict, its every move critical to humanity's survival.   But within the labyrinthine depths of the ship, Kasey stumbles upon a chilling truth. A web of treachery and deceit has been spun within the Age's very walls, a conspiracy that not only guided the Ides' lethal fury to the outposts but now sets its sinister sights on Earth itself. As the stakes skyrocket, Kasey finds herself entangled in a deadly game of cosmic proportions, where the fate of her world hangs precariously in the balance.

Nearly a decade has elapsed since the cataclysmic assault by the Ides, leaving a trail of cosmic destruction in their wake. Amidst the scattered remnants and whispered legends, one name echoes through the void: Kasey Lee, the enigmatic sole survivor, vanished without a trace.   Drifting in the cold embrace of the cosmos, Kasey lies suspended in cryogenic stasis within a lone escape pod, her beacon silent until now. In a twist of fate, this beacon flickers to life, caught by the keen eyes of Casper Faulk, an unassuming engineer navigating the starry expanse.   Casper, driven by a mix of curiosity and daring, uncovers the pod, unwittingly placing himself at the center of an interstellar tug-of-war. The Ascendancy and MarsForm, two colossal powers, each hunger for Kasey Lee for reasons as mysterious as they are ominous.   As Casper steers his course through this galactic power play, he unearths secrets that could shatter the delicate balance of power. What he finds within the confines of that ancient pod is more astonishing than anyone could have imagined, a revelation with the potential to rewrite the stars themselves.
