Too bulky for a sidearm, too small for a proper rifle—behold, the Half-Spec Blaster. Too heftty for a quick draw, yet underwhelming at range—versatile, but never truly mastering any single role. But that’s just fine. Embracing this peculiar weapon, I, Narwhal—station drifter, low-rank mercenary, and certified expert in staying out of trouble—have a dream. A dream of living simply. With my powers, I could challenge warlords, take on high-risk contracts, and shape the galaxy with secret knowledge. But I won’t. Work moderately, survive well—that’s the ideal life in the void! Small-time guild jobs. The occasional space hunt. Food that doesn’t taste like recycled rations. If I can be of some use along the way? Good enough. This is the tale of a man drifting through the stars, clinging to a blaster that never excels in any one area… and an adventure that avoids too much adventure.

FURRYS IN SPACE

In a futuristic Great Britain, the last remnants of human civilization live in a massive domed city.  Here, society thrives under strict control, where no one lives beyond the age of 30, and "Commencement" promises a renewed life for all citizens.  But the reality is far darker:  those who reach their time must face death.  The Icemen, including John-6-Steed, ensure that no one escapes their fate.

Steed, once a loyal Iceman, begins to question the system. Joined by Tara-7-King, the two find themselves on the run from the very society they once protected.  Fleeing the city, they venture into the ruins of ancient London, now buried under the wastes. Pursued relentlessly by his former partner, Emma-8-Peel, who still serves as an Iceman, Steed, Tara at his side, discovers unsettling truths about their world and the true purpose of Commencement.

This story is a blend of the stylish espionage of The Avengerswith the dystopian themes of Logan's Run,as Steed and Tara race against time to find Sanctuary---if it even exists.

Koda Dragonheart, known as Truffle, is a 17-year-old orphan raised by the Mokari tribe, whose parents were killed by pirates. Despite his deep connection to the tribe, Truffle is excluded from the tribe's coming-of-age ceremony due to his tragic past. His story takes a painful turn when he learns that Kira, the princess he loves, is betrothed to ShadowClaw, a former bully. Feeling betrayed and out of place, Truffle decides to leave the tribe and sets sail with other outcasts to create a new kingdom called The Xiled, for those who, like him, are rejected by society.

Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 3025 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but Dan must endure all the pain and suffering to return home safely.

***

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3025's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times. Now, does Dan want to be the Star? Heck no, but he has loved paleontology ever since a bittersweet memory with his mom twelve years earlier.

Programmed to resemble Dan's mother's personality, PPMC vows to keep him safe on his journey, but it's difficult when the stubborn teen constantly gets in trouble, not just with himself but also with prehistoric anomalies: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and, above all, disaster.

Now nearly trapped in time, Dan and PPMC must work together to escape the geologic time scale before Dan's love for paleontology and the mighty Quetzalcoatlus prevent him from learning how to truly trust PPMC and "let go" of the burden that's weighed him down for five years.

A teen, a starship, and Becca...
