family lbgtq lgbt middlegrade sci-fi science sciencefiction scifi space spaceship startrek starwars teen trek wattpride wattys ya youngadult

When orphaned siblings Andra and Grunge are abducted from the landfill site they call home, they are pressed into service on the HMS Ghandi with three teenage aliens where they form a surrogate family in an unfair universe.  PARTY OF FIVE meets GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY....a love letter to space faring #ScienceFiction.

Highest Science Fiction Ranking: #1 (that was a pretty awesome day!!!)

I wrote STELLAR OBJECTS to explore the nature of family, through the lens of science fiction genre. It combines everything I love about scifi, drama, coming of age, and attempts to push the boundaries of (intergalactic) diversity and the very essence of inclusivity.

I'm a published author and I shared this book with a handful of publishers, one of whom called it "too diverse." Somewhat in anger, and also in protest, I decided to share it with the wattpad community and I've been thrilled that it's found a global readership here.

This is an unedited book, so comments are welcome, as are constructive criticisms.

I hope you love reading STELLAR OBJECTS as much as I loved writing it.

Namaste,

Build A Scientific And Technological Civilization ( Book 2 ) by Sokdavid123

In a universe where every person awakens a Planet as the foundation of their power, the strength of one's civilization determines their might. From martial worlds where warriors reign, to mystic realms teeming with magic, to ethereal domains of immortal cultivators, every awakened Planet becomes a reflection of its creator's path. But Alexander Sebastian is different. Reborn with memories from a modern, Earth-like world, he forges something never seen before: a Technological Civilization. While others summon Qi, Mana, or Spiritual Power, Sebastian builds factories, launches satellites, and commands fleets of starships. With logic as his weapon and science as his foundation, Sebastian begins to shake the very foundations of this Supernatural cosmos. When a Star Destroyer punches through planets and dimensional weapons turn worlds into nothing more than paper, even the proudest civilizations must bow before the cold, unrelenting force of progress. Witness a tale where science defies fantasy, and technology becomes the ultimate path to dominance. _____ This is a translation. The Original Title is: 人人一颗星球：开局打造科技文明 Sorry, my English as my second language is average, so forgive me if there is a mistake. The later chapter will have better quality.

He has long given up hope that any of his missions will lead to freedom. Yet, he is bound to complete each one, even though failure is imminent, much to the enjoyment of his cruel master. But just as he wonders, if it will ever end, one way or the other, something extraordinary tickles his nose. ********************************** Raban shouldn't even exist any longer.
