The age-old question has been answered: We are not alone.Now comes the more important question: Can we fight back before the Hive sends another invasion toward the Solar system? Elisabeth is on another deep space mission, this time travelling to the dwarf planet Pluto. Fifteen years ago, the scientists on Earth found better warp coils. But before they could document it, rogue Synths stole the craft, jumping to Pluto in less than a week.If Earth wants to attack the Hive, they need a better warp drive, and that is the reason for the mission. The fact that Earth only has one naval spaceship, captained by a Synth, might also be a reason.Aboard the Gunboat Elizabeth, life continues as before, but with the added extras of the Alien plants that help extend the mission and life support. Some of the Aliens who sought refuge on Earth also join the crew to help Veprim and maybe earn the right to become one of her knights. Will the Gunboat Elisabeth reach Pluto and uncover the secret of the dwarf planet before the Hive stages another invasion?

When does a girl become a woman? The AI in the computer game 'Draco Majid' would give you what you really needed. The game was a 'Dungeons and Dragons' kind of game on the surface, but beneath it, it read you and tailored its mission to what you really needed. Zest was caught between being a child and being ready to date, and what lay beyond. She was beautiful in real life and had been chased by older men before she was 12. She liked playing games because there she could just be a gamer, not a girl. She gets a quest to bring back the faith, and she thought it is the one faith that would unite the world. With a warning that she needed to act fast because the world was on the brink of a greater war. But what she really needed was the answer to the age-old question: Was she ready to become a woman? With her friends, she dove down into the deepest dungeons, searching for something. But maybe it was not the quest that was the important part of the journey. It was learning to trust others, and one of them, more deeply than the others. Could Zest save the world before it was too late and maybe even learn something about herself.?
