The Si-Carb Chronicles
Series description
In the late 22 century, humanity is exploring and starting to colonize the solar system but it’s slow going, with only a few orbital stations round Earth and the Moon, some explorer ships, and a bunch of mining missions in the Belt. After a series of global disasters, the Earth-based countries grouped into three major confederations, and focused on preserving their own resources, with not much left for space exploration. The only successful party, the Rebels’ Republic, an entity founded by a group of progressive scientists, engineers, inventors and rich entrepreneurs in early 21 century on Earth, has settled on a station near Neptune and are planning to expand their further out, to Kuipers Belt and beyond. The Rebels have developed a lot of cutting -edge technology and are using their inventions to influence the Old Earth players and control the space exploration.They want to make the world a better place, and they finally can do it. It’s hard to conquer the space if you don’t have the fusion engine, right?
A year earlier a PanAmerican Confederation scout ship shot down an asteroid, suspecting it was a hostile ship belonging to New Chinese Empire, but they denied any knowledge of it. The incident was silenced for the sake of the peace between the old enemies, but the pieces of the rock spread out in the solar system. One of them was caught up by a Rebels’ research station looking out for alien life. But the exploration of the traveller from afar has brought trouble to the seemingly perfect world of Rebels’ Republic and the rest of the solar system.
When Jax McCarthy, a freshly minted spaceship pilot on the first interplanetary trip, shoots a pice of rock flying by in attempt to keep her secret secret from her employers, she opens a can of worms - letting a piece of viral rogue code out, speeding the looming disaster. An undercover investigative journalist, Rutger Jansen springs to help, thinking the virus has something to do with the secret mission he’s on. There are a few more people who can help, but are they trustworthy? And can they work together to stop the disaster?
Jax has no choice but to accept the help from total strangers and for the first time work as part of a team, not a loner to save the world from a total collapse. But who is the real enemy here: an alien swarm, the rogue AI, or one of the good, ‘ol ones?

How far would you go to conceal the error of judgement that can cost the lives of millions?
Jimmy Chang was not a Chinese spy, not to his knowledge, anyway. He was young, curious, and ambitious, but he also knew his place in society. Idealistic, maybe a little naive, he truly stood for his crew’s mission. He believed the world was about to get better, with various Earth-and-beyond fractions reaching across the divides, ready to work together. Finally, after all those years of quiet fighting, humanity was exploring the solar system, just about to make the first contact with an alien entity, and all war was over.

She carried a secret with her…
…and it might ruin her life.
How could she save the only purpose to her life?
In 2170, Jax was 25 when she finished her pilot’s training. Her first job got her off the planet and away from her ex-boyfriend, pointless drifting and the politics that had poisoned society. One day she’d have her own ship, be her own boss, go where she truly wanted to go, but that wasn’t today.
Aboard her cargo ship…
…she had sick people in coma and something Jax didn’t expect.
Two perfectly healthy passengers that weren’t supposed to be there.
The distance between the Asteroid Belt and Neptune was vast and empty, but she had a fast ship. The run should have been simple and made her the money she needed, but she didn’t count on finding an alien swarm.
This wasn’t the “First Contact” she imagined.
Can a loner learn teamwork to survive?
You’ll love this first book in the The Si-Carb Chronicles space opera series, because sometimes a reluctant hero is just what the galaxy needs.

Unfortunately, the trick used by SingMa and Jax to save Segedunum networks from the rogue, swarming code, didn't get rid of the virus completely. So the crew is at it again, this time joining forces with Nicky, Rutger's ex-wife, to save the lives of Vindolanda scientists while struggling through a moral crisis.
In the meantime, a new traitor emerges, an old enemy-turned-friend turns out to be... an enemy, the alien virus appears familiar, bits of history are missing, and a new war breaks out.
Can Jax, Rutger, SingMa, and Nicky save the world again?
