Jewel of The Stars Earth's Remnant by Adam David Collings

The passengers and crew of the cruise ship Jewel of The Stars were expecting a two-week luxury cruise, but when Earth falls to an alien invasion they find themselves alone and on the run. Fleeing into unexplored space they must do whatever it takes to survive. They may be the last free humans in the galaxy.

First Office Rice leads a supply mission to a mysterious Earth colony that shouldn't exist. Violent looting leads security chief Banks to investigate organised crime on the ship. And a newly-wed couple realise their honeymoon has become a life sentence.

Tourists on a cruise. Stranded in an alien battleground

When their warp drive mysteriously stops working, the luxury cruise ship Jewel of The Stars becomes easy pickings for humanity’s enemy – the Dracnor. And there may be an enemy agent on board.

Before the fall of Earth, a madman made doomsday predictions on Captain Les Miller’s doorstop. How did he know the invasion was coming? Now that same man has been spotted walking the promenade. Les must stop him, but the evidence contradicts what he knows to be true.

Will the legacy of an ancient war mean the end of the galaxy’s last free humans?

This is newly-promoted Glen Price's first time as cruise director. He wants to make his mark and do something special for the passengers. But his plan to project a giant Christmas star above the ship turns disastrous when the ship suddenly loses power. Can Glen salvage what's left of the event and still make it a meaningful Christmas?

I'm just an average dad, trying to raise my son as best I can. It can be a daunting responsibility to raise any child. But my situation is special. My son has the ability to reverse time. He can wind it back and rewrite the past.
How do you raise a child with super powers? What am I supposed to teach him? How far do I let him go in using them? Kids don't come with a manual, but there's plenty of advice out there for raising them. But this? There are no rules for raising a son like mine.
My name is Ryan Porter. And I am Chronostream's Father

Flynn Porter is a teenage boy with the ability to reverse time, destined to become the superhero Chronostream. His opportunity for infinite retries in life makes him feel like a god. So when his friend and crush Carisssa dies unexpectedly, he is certain he can save her.
But life is more complicated than he has yet learned and he will soon learn there are some things even he can't fix.

Two weeks into their exile, the crew of Jewel of the Stars detect an unexplored habitable planet. Captain Les Miller seizes the chance to let the passengers walk under an open sky.

When the local inhabitants—a winged humanoid species called the Rippesh—fall critically ill in large numbers, Doctor Rashona Clarke must find a cure. Chief Engineer Sarah McLaughlan discovers a rare element in the world’s crust that could give Jewel of the Stars a fighting chance against the Dracnor, setting a deeper conflict in motion. One that could destroy their new friends.

With first officer Maya Rice distracted by tensions with her estranged daughter, Miller must weigh the lives of his crew against the lives of the Rippesh. But a dangerous faction determined to secure the element at any cost might take the choice out of his hands.

Can the crew protect this strange alien world, or will human desperation turn them into the invaders they always feared?

Perfect for fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation and character-driven space opera, Strange Alien World delivers high-stakes moral conflict, poignant family drama, and awe-filled exploration.
