Hundeerde: Part 1 —
The Arctic Incident
At a remote Arctic drilling station, a team of scientists and engineers make a discovery deep in the permafrost. What comes up with the drill should have stayed frozen.
Lead scientist James Jarvis sees the pattern first. A closed system. An infection with no source. He gets close to the truth, very close. One glove, one tear.
Not close enough.
The Arctic Incident is the story of a chain of lives, choices, and sacrifices that would echo across the stars for a generation.

Hundeerde: Part 2 —
The Great Collapse
Three years after the virus, the world that remains is not the world that was.
Red is seventeen, streetwise, and harder than he has any right to be. He leads a clan of twelve kids through the ruins of what was once London; scavenging, hiding, surviving. The basement is home. The bucket is everyone’s problem. The Marauders are never far away.
The Great Collapse is the story of one night that changes everything. A flight through the dark. Nine stations walked in the underground. A boy who looked back at the wrong moment, and a choice made in a split second that only one person saw.
What happens when the person keeping everyone alive decides to run the other way?

Hundeerde: Part 3 — Greenwatch, Proving Ground
Seven years after the night that changed everything, three young men serve aboard the HSS Chasetail, one of three capital cruisers patrolling the skies above Hundeerde.
They now have call-signs and ranks. A life built from nothing on a planet with rings.
But something is out there. Probes. Non-organic. Smart and getting closer.
Lieutenant Sebastian Jarvis flies. Lieutenant Raven Cole watches. Lieutenant Lewis Vale, the youngest officer in Greenwatch history, notices things that don’t add up. And when Lewis notices something, it’s usually already too late to ignore it.
Greenwatch: Proving Ground is the story of what the boys from Earth became and the first sign of what’s coming next.

Hundeerde: Part 4 — Greenwatch, Becoming
When twelve boys from a London basement walked down a shuttle ramp onto an alien planet they looked up at a sky with rings.
This is the story of what happened in between.
Greenwatch: Becoming follows Seb, Lewis, and Raven through seven years of growing up at Headwall Station, a working farm in the Greyfall Valley. There are chickens to feed, eggs to collect, cows to milk, and an old brass telescope in the attic that belongs to someone who isn’t there.
There is also grief. It doesn’t announce itself. It just shows up, in hands that can’t stay still, drawings in a notebook. In a stone necklace worn around a neck that conveys both memory and hope found.
Hundeerde is not Earth. But it turns out that hope doesn’t need to be from the same place as the people who need it.

Screw Pile Developments 
We have a new short story, The Arctic Incident a prequel to The Great Collapse.
On a remote high-Arctic research site known as TA-3, an international team led by General Huxley and scientist James Jarvis begins testing a new geothermal energy system beneath deep permafrost. The project is successful—but the unexpected heat output melts surrounding frozen layers, exposing ancient, well-preserved organic material. Early anomalies are subtle and dismissed as environmental contamination. Then a severe Arctic storm isolates the site, pushing systems and personnel to their limits. As conditions deteriorate, a one-shot emergency evacuation is ordered. Jake “Ice-pick” Husky and his sled team arrive to extract the eight-person crew under extreme conditions. With no capacity for a second run, difficult decisions are made. Some research material is taken. Decontamination is incomplete. The team survives. The mission appears successful. Unnoticed, something small leaves the site with them—seeding a chain of events that will, years later, lead to the Great Collapse.
This premise is insane. One small mistake, incomplete decontamination, and boom—the Great Collapse. So tense already.
The story is is here!
