THE FIRST CRADLE - BOOK ONE OF THE IRON CRADLE SAGA

The Sun is dying, and there's no saving this world. Engineering grad student Gavin Daniels volunteers for experimental brain emulation technology--humanity's last chance to gain centuries of research time while only days pass on Earth. But the untested cradle connects him to something ancient: a galaxy-spanning competition called the Ascendancy, where Earth's survival is the prize. The rules are brutal. Earth is unrecognized, unprotected, and legally open for conquest. Win, and the planet gains galactic protection. Every victory captures alien technology to fuel humanity's desperate evacuation. Lose, and everything is forfeit. In a genre built on solo heroes grinding for power, Gavin and Earth's champions choose a different path: reincarnating the souls of Earth's dead as spirit-born warriors, building armies instead of going it alone, forging alliances with alien species, and refusing to treat war as a game. But those overseeing the Ascendancy aren't safeguarding peace--they're filtering threats. Culling potential rivals before they can rise. Can Earth's champions survive alien dinosaurs, and a universe that seems to want to crush them? Our only allies, a race that died on Earth before humanity ever took its first steps... Step into the cradle, champion, and find out. THE FIRST CRADLE - THE SECOND CRADLE - A LITRPG ADVENTURE

Arachnoextinction

On an uncharted island in the middle of the Pacific, Dr. Ivory Gale arrives for a routine inspection of a secret United States government cloning facility. His mission is to verify progress on a project to resurrect the woolly mammoth. Simple job. In and out. What could possibly go wrong? Everything. Literally everything. Dr. Kale, head scientist at the cloning facility and certified lunatic, has been keeping secrets from the United States government. Not the kind of secrets they can all giggle about later. These are the kind of secrets that awaken a long-extinct and highly murderous monstrous spider species. Armed with a gun he doesn't know how to use, a crippling case of arachnophobia, and the help of a ragtag group of survivors (including one who definitely wants to kill them all to protect the government's secrets), Dr. Gale must find a way to escape the facility before nightfall. Because once the sun goes down, the giant spiders come out to hunt. All of them. Welcome to Arachnoextinction.
