Death isn’t the end. It’s a reset.Aristotle “Ari” Zurr-McIntyre is trapped in an impossible cycle. When he dies—whether by accident, suicide, or murder—he doesn't stay dead. He reappears, often younger, always naked, somewhere entirely new, the memories of his past life dissolving like smoke. He’s a Vanisher, a genetic anomaly hunted by those who crave the secret to his regeneration.From the rain-slicked streets of Cleveland to the sun-drenched beaches of St. Thomas, from the shadowy corners of New York’s Murdock's Café to the halls of Emory University, Ari leaves behind fragments of lives he can barely recall. He’s pursued by ruthless agents working for the powerful Schillersdorf family and the brilliant Dr. Bonn, who believe his unique DNA holds the key to cheating death itself.Just when existence feels like an endless loop of trauma, he meets Lilyanne Beloshinski. She’s intelligent, captivating, and unknowingly linked to the very people hunting him. Their connection is electric, a potential haven, but loving her means dragging her into his deadly reality.Caught in a web of genetic destiny, corporate espionage, and fragmented identities, Ari must fight not only for survival but for the very memories that define him. Can love anchor a soul adrift across lifetimes, or will the next vanish tear them apart for good?Dive into Vanishing Bodies, a mind-bending journey through science, conspiracy, and the desperate search for self in a world where death is just a doorway.“A twisty, satisfyingly unpredictable SF action tale. Even die-hard SF readers won’t see some of the turns coming”—Kirkus Reviews“[An] engrossing ride … [that’s] a meaningful metaphor for all the people one person becomes throughout life: how everyone grows, reinvents, and regenerates, even without special DNA. Mikheyev presents a narrative as malleable as its protagonist: changing genres from chapter to chapter, but always clinging to its core heartfelt message”—IndieReaderFor fans of ‘Hyperion’ by Dan Simmons, Isaac Asimov, Blake Crouch, Robert Heinlein, and Michael Crichton.

When an alien spacecraft four times the size of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier enters the solar system, tensions run hot within the UN, but the alien vessel doesn't approach Earth. Instead, it sits off at L4, over a hundred million miles from Earth, baffling scientists from around the world. Chris 'Crash' Williams leads an international crew to investigate the appearance of this ghost ship, but he quickly learns that the spacecraft isn't as dead as it seems. Ghosts was inspired by Arthur C. Clarke’s 1973 novel Rendezvous with Rama , which went on to win the Nebula Award for Best Novel, the Hugo Award for Best Novel, and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award. Rendezvous with Rama is a classic. It examined a plausible, realistic alien encounter, considering not only the physics involved but also the inevitable politics and religious implications. FIRST CONTACT is a series of stand-alone novels that explore humanity's first interaction with extraterrestrial life. This series 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.

Buckle up, it's gonna be a smooth ride.Howdy, friend. I'm Rusty, and so is my big-rig's engine. When the old girl finally gave up the ghost in the middle of nowhere, I wasn't expecting to get a tow from an alien mothership. But the next thing I knew, me and my buddy Mike were halfway across the galaxy in an oversized hubcap full of the weirdest space creatures you ever did see.Turns out aliens are mighty friendly folks, but they can't fix their tech to save their lives. Didn't take long for us to put our know-how to good use, fix a bunch of gizmos, and make a load of friends, but I was still eagerly countin' the days 'til they'd drop us back in sweet home Alabama. That is until I met Piper Skyflare—a pretty little green-skinned lieutenant in the Martian Sky Force, with knockout curves and a right hook to match.With Piper to hold my hand and Mike to hold my beer, I'm making the most of this cosmic road trip. It's a wild ride, but one thing's for sure—a sense of humor and a roll of duct tape can get you through darn near anything. That and coffee. Lots of coffee.No Stress Space Express is a story about finding your true family, told with the common-sense wisdom of Jerry Boyd's Bob and Nikki series (Bob's Saucer Repair), and the low-stakes world building of Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes. Join Rusty and his crew for a heart-warming, laugh-out-loud adventure with no tension, and no drama. Just good clean fun, great friendships, and a little romance too.
