How do you defeat an enemy you cannot reason with, you cannot hide from, you cannot escape, you cannot kill? For they are not truly alive. 

*They are coming. They keep coming. They keep coming.*

(No they are not zombies. They were never truly alive.)

**********************
Epilogue of Hermesh
**********************
In a galaxy called Hermesh, Commodore Reemon Erra, an Amarthian by birth, is a decorated war hero. He is the best Hermesh has!

But when the Kaya, a life devouring alien species attacks Hermesh, shattering 100 years of hard-won peace, Reemon Erra has to unite the four sentient, space-faring species of the galaxy, if he has any hope of saving Hermesh. But all is not as it seemed. When faced with extinction, secrets come to light, that alters the very history of the galaxy, and threatens to unravel its future.

Caught in the crossfires of a fight between the most evolved beings in all of Creation, only Reemon Erra has what it takes to save his galaxy.  

But in this genre-bending military space opera, soaked in philosophy and existential horror, victory is not what it seems.

The Maxis sovereign by AveryJ_
12 parts Ongoing Mature
Reverse harem and bxb and bxbxgxb and more Year 2045: Nuclear war devastated the surface of earth, and the people living on it barely survived. Those who did, became a bigoted bunch, living in small collections of likeminded people spread narrowly across the globe in small government-controlled colonies. Now two hundred years after earth destroyed itself in a nuclear war, earth continues to battle a racial war between the few humans left on earth, the mutants, and the Martians. Amidst the battle, the planet is unexpectedly approached by the Maxis Sovereign. The sovereign contains an alien species of sentient human-like people hoping to exchange knowledge with earths inhabitants for a life planet side. Crown prince Kie'a of the Sovereign is a man with a moral compass that doesn't quite fit within the confined living quarters of the space vessel. He fights hard, spending over a decade of his young life forcing earth knowledge into every spare neuron assessable. Is it the drive for freedom, as the prince lives a life forced behind a suit of armor- or the drive to make something more of ones life? The United Federation is Earths globally recognized governing body that controls the existing colonies of Earth. After far too many post world war civil battles for Martian rights, Old Berling leads the U.F front with its ability for its citizens to coexist well with the mutants, the humans, and the Martians. However, bigotry is not easily solved. U.F soldiers Malakai, Hendrix, and Zed are tasked with learning more about the otherworldly Maxis Sovereign and in doing so is forced to co-exist in the alien colony. What will the men do when faced with their own personal battles of growing up in a bigoted society, but now have to handle learning about an entire new race of people that threaten the very peace the men are trying to make on earth.

The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react. (Book 2 LTF series) (CAN be read as a stand alone, but not recommended for nostalgia reasons~) (ps this is UNEDITED, grammar and spelling mistakes will ensue!) (NOTE: THIS IS ITS OWN STORY NOT A CONTINUATION. SAME CHARACTERS BUT DIFFERENT PLOT.)(Last to fall au/spin-off)
