Oasis: Last World

In the wake of a brutal interstellar war, the defeated survivors race out into the stars looking for a sanctuary in deep space. They head off to a distant corner of the galaxy on a desperate journey, seeking out a planet they believe sterilized of human life back in antiquity, where they can begin anew. They limp along in crippled, battle-damaged warships, short on food, fuel and spare parts, in the hope they can make it to their lonely destination without perishing along the way.
It is a nearly hopeless endeavor where the fleet struggles with starvation, impossible decisions and spirits sinking into the pits of despair.

If they are lucky, perhaps a handful of them will ultimately survive to start over again.

This book is a second edition.

Unintended Cultivator

He never intended to be a cultivator. The heavens have another plan…

Sen never dreamed of ascension. Such were the aspirations of the rich young nobles, not orphans like him, scraping together a meager living on the streets of Orchard’s Reach.

However, when destiny takes an unexpected turn, Sen finds himself thrust into the role of a cultivator’s disciple.

Yet, on the path to defying the heavens, Sen will have to make difficult choices. He needs to decide what kind of person he wants to be, and what mark he wants to leave on the world. Because when his training ends, he will have the power to shake the world. He will also have formidable enemies who will do anything to put him back in his place…
