This is the first half of my most polished work. It took years to write, so read it slowly and deliberately.

Originally the novel was meant to be a single, 285k word story, but I broke it in half at about the midpoint. As such, I strongly recommend you read Part 1 first, or you'll be lost at the start.

This is my first foray into modern fantasy, and I had some fun coming up with the 'alien' creatures in the story. If you effectively lived forever, but could never procreate, how would it affect you?

Arguably my most important work, this one is meant to be the first of two, or perhaps a trilogy. Sci-fi has always fascinated me, and I tried to shape a story around a currently impossible-to-build device and how it would interact with us.

This is my first attempt at blending non-sci-fi elements into my stories. It's part spy thriller, part murder mystery, part character exploration. I didn't feel too comfortable about it at first, but people who've read it seemed to like it so far.

Noah is an artificial intelligence, built and programmed to create a stable human civilization on its first interplanetary colony. He can do many things, and handle many challenges, but he's yet to face the greatest one yet: parenting.

Unlike the others, this novel is being released piece by piece. As such it has no chapters, and is less well edited. Feel free to comment here, as you might even see your comments change the course the story is taking!
