Replied to Knossos
Would love to, but still kinda stuck in a rut over it.
I will definitely try to get back to it in the future. But for now, this original novel :).
Thank you for appreciating and enjoying my work though.
Hey thanks! I appreciate your interest! :)
This one will have a bit of a different vibe to it, though; it is more sci-fi/fantasy-orientated. But hopefully, it'll be a good book all the same.
"We always wanted to make contact with 'extraterrestrials'...we just weren't aware of the consequences…"
First, contact. Then, conflict.
When a curious Earth sends peacekeeping forces to observe a medieval civilization on a sister-like planet called Roana, their diplomatic mission takes a startling twist with every bizarre revelation.
But when they land on Roana to verify the existence of magic and establish relations with the only other intelligent beings in a cold, lonely universe, the UN peacekeepers have no idea they’ve just opened Pandora’s box, ensnaring them in a war that will rattle all worlds. After all, this strange planet’s gods have powers that defy science—on an almighty scale.
As secrets and conspiracies abound amongst the peacekeepers and the natives, it’s up to Bravo Company to unravel the mysteries of this world and establish allies—before the situation spirals into chaos.

Above Eden: Of Science, Magic, and Gods is a bold science-fantasy blending first-contact sci-fi and medieval fantasy, featuring an alien planet home to a feudal empire, magic, and unfamiliar deities. With epic battles, military might, and extraordinary powers, join Captain Jonathan Moore on a dangerous journey across the universe to face down the divine.
Due to a mysterious transcendent being, United States Marine Corps First Lieutenant Samuel Kim from 2016 is thrown back in time to the year 1775. To make matters worse, he wakes up near Bunker Hill, mere hours before the famed Battle of Bunker Hill begins. Realizing the unique situation he finds himself in, the lieutenant takes the opportunity to change the fate of the battle and ensure an overwhelming American victory. Guided by his "patronizing" "God" and the American revolutionaries, Lieutenant Kim embarks on a journey to help America gain its independence and to ensure the nation upholds its "most promising" ideals from the very beginning.
Author's Warning: The story is very rough in the first few chapters (and as some readers pointed out, some parts are laughable, such as "American idealism"). However, the pace and quality of the story improve from chapter four and onwards. You will enjoy the story if you are interested in history, worldbuilding, and the butterfly effect (along with a few badass characters). So even if you are a bit turned off initially, I promise that the story improves quickly. Some early details were accidentally left out, as I wrote the first two chapters a year before writing the third chapter.
