Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny by Jeremy Clift
In the year 2068, as Earth teeters on the brink of environmental and political collapse, one woman’s act of generosity becomes the spark for humanity’s next great leap—and her own cosmic ordeal.
When Teagan Ward donates her eggs to science, she believes she’s helping to secure a future for humankind. Years later, she learns the shocking truth: seven children, born from her genetic material, were created aboard an orbital laboratory as part of a bold experiment to seed life beyond Earth. Each child has been engineered for survival in deep space—and each has been taken from her.
Determined to reunite with them, Teagan launches into a desperate odyssey across the solar frontier. Her quest pits her against powerful adversaries: a ruthless mining magnate exploiting the Moon’s riches, a morally conflicted geneticist obsessed with creation at any cost, and a fallen general seeking redemption through domination.
As Teagan navigates treacherous alliances, political manipulation, and the raw dangers of off-world survival, she uncovers a secret that could alter the course of human evolution. Her seven children—known as the Magnificent Seven—may hold the key to unlocking humanity’s destiny among the stars.
At its heart, Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny is a story of maternal love, sacrifice, and redemption. It explores what it means to be human when humanity itself is engineered and commodified.
For readers drawn to the emotional depth of Interstellar and the visionary scope of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Jeremy Clift’s novel is a riveting fusion of science, suspense, and soul—a journey through the outer reaches of space and the inner reaches of the human heart.

About The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 1): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach Us About the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace in the Very Best Star Trek Stories by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella
During the 2020-21 pandemic year, everyone in the world needs heroes in their lives. Role models represent a way to stand tall in our struggles against a deadly illness that plagues all of humanity. Star Trek, viewed through the lens of Sun Tzu and Lau Tzu’s philosophical takes on war and peace, can show us the best way to battle inner demons and problems seemingly beyond our control – ones that demands we act thoughtfully, quickly, and efficiently when confrontations with nearly unstoppable forces push us to our limits.
The Tao of Star Trek: Discovering Our Inner Selves Through Outer Space – What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace Illustrated in the Very Best Star Trek Storiesprovides parameters for each of us as we go about our daily lives in 2021 and beyond through a critical literacy approach to ninety of the best Star Trek stories in franchise history, covering the first three television series in Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Animated Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
If one understands the essence of The Tao Te Ching and The Art of War as guideposts, any individual can see the wisdom of the ideas of both Lao Tzu and Sun Tzu when applied to Trek character behavior in compelling stories that are a metaphors for daily lives in 2021 – nearly 56 years after the first Gene Roddenberry episode broadcast on NBC in October of 1965.
In The Tao of Star Trek, readers will find the ninety best stories of the first three Star Trek television series. In each one of this stories, proverbs or partial texts written by either Lao Tzu or Sun Tzu are used as guide posts to view character growth. Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, the reader will next have the opportunity to apply what they have learned in these stories in end of lesson exercises that should apply to their own life challenges.
In the section, Everyday Reflections, readers are asked to examine how their own lives have taken a peaceful or combative approach with others in a personal or professional setting. Readers are also asked to keep a journal and reflect on their actions and how they can implement effective changes to their lives by modifying their behaviors or attitudes to better coexist in society.This section may also include historical facts and display the author’s perspective on social change, war, culture, economics or other important trends shown in America or throughout the world throughout time.
The next and final section of each lesson, titled, Everyday Actions, asks the reader to take actions to make their world a better place. These acts may rest in interpersonal relations with family members or friends, co-workers, school mates, or may manifest themselves in communities or on a larger scale of state or national levels. Whatever actions the reader may or may not choose to take will be ethical in nature and only recommended to help right wrongs still happening today.
Star Trek remains today as a cultural touchstone in American culture – and one also beloved by Trekkers around the world.
By examining former and current tales in a serious fashion allows us to make serious changes in our lives that would likely be praised by either Lao Tzu or Sun Tzu if they were alive today.
What would Captains James T. Kirk or Jean-Luc Picard do if confronted in a no-win scenario?
How would Mr. Spock or Commander Riker react to protect their captains, their crew, and the galaxy against hostile forces?
It is hoped that this book will challenge and test you, not only as a fan of the Roddenberry franchise, but as a human being in search for becoming the very best you can be in the 21st century.

Alien alliances, corporate secrets, and a vault that could rewrite evolution. Will Teagan Ward protect her daughter—or lose her to a war between worlds?

When competing forces vie to control human evolution, Teagan Ward is thrust into the heart of the conflict.

Protests erupt. Alliances fracture. And Teagan, seeking refuge among the Tritans—an endangered alien species—must protect Diana at all costs.
In a battle for survival, what remains of humanity may not be who we were—but who we choose to become.
The vault is the code. The seed eclipse is the signal. The child is the key.
And the question remains: Who owns Life? The corporations trying to patent it? The AIs trying to shape it? Or the mother fighting to protect it?

About Shard Awakening
A galaxy on the brink of war.
Newborn twins enter the universe carrying something no one fully understands: the Shard, an ancient alien intelligence long mistaken for a disease. It is not a sickness. It is a power. It is a weapon. It is a sentient force that has waited nearly ninety thousand years to awaken again.
The moment the twins take their first breath, everything changes.
The hunt begins.
The Federation unleashes its full strength, willing to burn entire worlds to seize what the children carry in their blood. To their pursuers, the twins are not children at all. They are strategic assets, the key to winning a war that has smoldered for generations and the means to unlock an ancient evil force capable of consuming everything.
With nowhere left to run, the family makes one final gamble.
Their only chance of survival lies on Earth, a planet erased from all official galactic records and believed lost for centuries. But Earth is no sanctuary. Beneath its surface, something older than civilization is stirring, a dormant and ravenous presence waiting to rise again.
As the twins grow, their abilities become increasingly difficult to hide. Their only hope lies with a sworn Protector and a sarcastic AI whose motives are as mysterious as the Shard itself.
The twins are not merely the key to survival.
They are the spark of a future that could save the galaxy… or end it forever.
