Before science fiction became about empires, wars, and dystopias, it was about wonder. In the tradition of Arthur C. Clarke and early Isaac Asimov, Hayden’s World offers carefully crafted visions of what might await us when we cross the next frontier. From daring voyages across the solar system to aerostat rides in the skies of Uranus, these stories capture the optimism and sense of discovery that once defined the genre. Every page embraces the “what if?” that drew generations to the stars, echoing the legacy of the 60s, 70s, and 80s science fiction era that gave us explorers instead of conquerors, questions instead of easy answers, and hope instead of despair. For readers who long for the thrill of charting the unknown, this anthology is your boarding pass to the frontier.

FIRST CONTACT is a series of stand-alone novels that explore humanity's first interaction with extraterrestrial life.

Ashley Kelly is your typical American teenager—or she would be if it wasn’t for the cluster bomb that crippled her. Seven years after the invasion, over a hundred million Americans have been displaced by the war, with millions more dead. Ash has spent seven years learning to walk again, and she’ll be damned if she’s going to lie down for anyone, human or otherwise.

FIRST CONTACT is similar to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE in that the series is based on a common theme rather than common characters. This allows these books to be read in any order. Technically, they're all first as they all deal with how we might initially respond to contact with aliens, exploring the social, political, religious, and scientific aspects of First Contact.

A mage's fate is worse than death...

Lucian dreams of a new life outside the cesspool of Earth. Unfortunately, his wish comes true when the government identifies him as a mage.

No one knows why the mages are being born. No one knows why their powers lead to madness and death. The only solution is to train them at the Academies, for them to serve the League of Worlds that subjugated them fifty years ago.

When Lucian is exiled from Earth, he must travel to the distant world of Volsung to receive training. During the long passage, he meets a mysterious mage. She prophesies he is marked by the Manifold, the reality that is the source of all magic. It is a destiny that requires him to master abilities he never imagined he possessed.

Trouble is brewing in the galaxy. An ancient alien menace has awoken, somehow connected with the return of magic to the stars. Lucian faces a terrible choice. To accept his new reality as a mage. Or, to try and outrun destiny...

OVERTAKEN ONLINE. The world's first FPS VR-MMORPG with 100% immersion. Reminiscent of classics like Doom and Dead Space, but with RPG-elements that enable players to level up and develop skills – and sprinkled with a pinch of magic.

After Dex Walsh rescued the Warrior-Medic Frida and the Battle-Marine Hiko, and they together saved a community of mutated beings from a sudden daemonorg attack, they’re now finally able to escape the filthy Prison-Lab.

Having felt the daemonorgs’ macabre ingenuity and brutal power on their own bleeding bodies, Dex and his companions see only one solution to stopping these horrific beasts from devouring the entire planet:
The Godmadrigan Army has to join forces with the highly advanced alien race known as the Celestials.

But how to create an alliance where only distrust and even hate exist?

During a nightly meeting around the campfire, they suddenly get violent visitors - and Dex seizes an opportunity that will hopefully lead him on the right path to one day become a Cyber-Mage...

Keep your weapons loaded and senses sharpened as Dex, Frida and Hiko traverse the Dead-Rock Highlands while killing demonic aliens, rescuing innocents and leveling up.

Beware! This story contains:
- Blood and guts
- Foul language!

There is a time for everything under the heavens. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to love and a time to hate. But when it's a time war you're looking at, it's Ryan Time. Jon is called back two billion years to save the Earth from an unprecedented threat. A alien clan is stealing time. It uses that time energy to power its quest to amass even more time. Soon, there will be no time for any race but them. No civilization has yet been able to even bloody the clan, let alone stop them. But that irresistable force is about to run smack into an immovable object, one pissed off Jon Ryan. As the very real possibility of never having existed closes in on humanity, Jon must rally his ragtag forces to do the impossible, yet again. But how can you defeat an enemy who can cause you to never have lived to face them in battle? A brilliant young scientist, Sachiko Jones, has foreseen the aliens' advance. Then she is thrust into a pivotal role in the defense of our planet. But though she commands unlimited power, she's a graduate student, not a warrior. If she can't learn quickly, the very worst outcome will be inevitable. Even a seasoned veteran like Jon is thrust out of his comfort zone. Time war is completely new to him, mind-blowing, and his enemy is a master of the skill. Battling -- surviving -- throughout all of time and space simultaneously defies common sense. One false move, one faulty assumption, and you're not dead. You will have never existed. And that which never was cannot be resurrected. It can't even be remembered. But, then again, impossible odds and cataclysmic consequences are what Jon does. It is possible, however, that just this once, Jon will find himself out of time.
