Earth is gone.
Humanity has one last world.

On the distant planet DaVinci, the survivors of Earth’s fungal apocalypse try to build a future. But the alien Bloom that blankets the planet carries a devastating side effect: no child can be born.

Until one scientist breaks the rules.

Dr. Samara Makinde engineers the impossible… a daughter designed to survive the alien world. The child should save humanity.

Instead, she changes it.

Across generations, DaVinci becomes a battleground. Geneticists push the limits of human evolution. Religious zealots rise in rebellion. Hybrid outcasts blur the line between human and alien. And when a mysterious billionaire arrives with cyborg servants and technology centuries beyond anything the colony possesses, the fight for humanity’s future turns into something far more dangerous.

Because survival isn’t the only thing at stake.

Who gets to decide what humanity becomes?

The Echoes of Tomorrowbox set contains the complete four-book science fiction saga by Alexander Titus and Sean Platt, a sweeping, cinematic story of alien worlds, forbidden science, rogue machines, and the evolution of the human race.

On a routine border patrol, pilot Zane Lucas encounters a mysterious cluster of drones. When he reports it to the Scorpius head office, they quickly sweep it under the intergalactic rug and place him on leave.

That same night, Zane is contacted by an estate lawyer from the distant planet Earth and learns he’s the sole beneficiary of a person he’s never met. Determined to get answers, he finds himself thrust into a dead man’s quest, along with a resourceful colleague, Julia Rossi.

Zane’s mission is tied to an old myth based on The Forever World book.

His father used to read it at bedtime, before he went missing during a bloody war with the Gral twenty years earlier. Their alliance is on the brink of collapse and the revolution is just beginning.

Can Zane find The Forever World, if it in fact exists?

Would this fabled planet help restore the balance?

Time is running out, and the drones are multiplying.

America has fallen. The Western Allied States rose from its ashes—and it does not forgive.

Eighteen-year-old Chris never thought of himself as a traitor. He doesn’t get the chance to argue otherwise. Taken in the night, he wakes in a facility buried deep in the Californian mountains—and he isn’t alone.

Elizabeth Flores has been running her whole life, ever since the night soldiers took her parents. With a brutal winter closing in, she risks everything to reach Sacramento. The hunters find her first.

Now they’re both “volunteers” in the Praegressus Project—a government initiative to enhance the human race. Stripped of their rights, Chris and Elizabeth must work together to survive the torturous experiments. Every day is a test, and every mistake has a cost. The regime doesn’t waste resources on failures.

But only the lucky ones get to die.

When a group of artifact smugglers recruits her, she can’t pass up the chance at getting her hands on objects that could advance her life’s work. But she soon learns her expectations of excitement and riches come with serious drawbacks as she ends up fighting for her life on a mysterious alien planet.

Five decades ago, Corporal Isiah “Bull” Amato, Unity Coalition Marine Corps, was ordered to lay down his arms and became a prisoner of war of the Sirius Alliance Syndicate. When he returned to his home planet of New Cotswold, the government had had enough of galactic politics, so it withdrew from the coalition, disbanded its military, and disavowed war.

Not everyone got the memo.

Bull is the commander of his aging-out Veterans of Galactic Wars post when drop troopers land and quickly take over Bally on the Vine. He once swore he would never allow himself to be taken prisoner again, but what can one seventy-three-year-old do to resist?

A Marine’s oath doesn’t have an expiration date, and no matter what the politicians say, his duty is to protect his fellow citizens. Whatever the odds, he has no choice. Bull will fight the invaders.
