Christina Engela books in order

Even the most improbable of people sometimes get attacked by unworldly forces.

And whenever it happens, nobody ever believes them.

Whenever they speak, they put themselves in a position of mock and ridicule,

As if that were not enough, there are others who will blame their troubles purely on the victims themselves.

Who should they turn to? The church? A priest or pastor?

Is there anyone else?

Who would want to be a part of it?

For Tracey, it was her best friend and a tiny and an unexpected band of committed associates.

Joining forces, they’ll confront the darkness inside the house on the hill–the one infamously known as “the white house”.

A blissfully married and ambitious couple manages their deep-space prospecting company hand in hand, only to be sent on different paths after the ship ferrying Virian is lost during a prospecting voyage.

But Harald will do whatever it takes to find her.

Immediately embarking on his quest, he isn’t willing to accept any other outcome.

However, is Harald as prepared as he seems?

How will he handle the discovery that he makes?

The I.S.S. Mercury, one of the starships in the Terran Space Fleet, is on a terrible string of rotten luck.

The crew has on numerous occasions encountered the strange and downright creepy.

While undertaking a procedural deep-space assignment, they cross paths with remnants of a ship that leaves them with more questions than answers.

How could Kilgary, a cargo ship sighted light years away just four decades earlier, have drifted to that section of space before the Mercury?

Why is it that the demise of its crew is still unsolved?

What was in the log entry that was mysteriously deleted?

Captain Stuart Flane’s adventure is about to begin…

The crew has on numerous occasions encountered the strange and downright creepy.

While undertaking a procedural deep-space assignment, they cross paths with an alien in a ship wreck that leaves them with more questions than answers.

How will Stuart Flane react if he uncovers the truth?

The I.S.S. Mercury, one of the starships in the Terran Space Fleet, is on a terrible string of rotten luck.

The crew has on numerous occasions encountered the strange and downright creepy.

On a distant starbase, a ship that had vanished for more than six decades suddenly reappears out of nowhere.

Its crew members are missing, and nobody knows what happened to them.

It’s almost as though all its crew members just vanished.

A hesitant Captain Stuart Flane of the I.S.S. Mercury is brought in to help uncover the mystery.

Will Flane, or his cynical superiors, accept the outcome?

“Space can be intriguing. Venture into space, the future and beyond!”

This book is a collection of short science fiction tales about space written by South African author Christina Engela.

Complete with a recurring cycle of adventure, suspense and humor, readers will be able to find out whether space sucks too.

From tiny green men to an alien, adorning a human suit, that shows up at a radio station for a midnight talk show; from vampires kissing in a bar to an alien occupation that takes place after a long time, these are tales that will thrill you just as much as they will fascinate you!

Nothing seems to be going right for Mykl d’Angelo, captain and owner of the loderunner Pegasus.

For instance, his crew steals the ship’s only shuttle following a tiny disagreement, abandoning him and two others to look after the flawed ship.

Worse off is that Mykl’s two crewmen left behind die after the crumbling ship’s stardrive explodes.

Stranded in deep space, Mykl d’Angelo submits prayers to whichever gods who perform miracles, and quietly awaits either death or salvation.

Although he is ultimately rescued, it comes at a price.

What happens when they encounter Blachart the Bloody—a legendary and dreaded Corsair?

Trapped in deep space with seemingly no help arriving, the I.S.S. Mordrake has food that won’t last for more than six month, and air that will be out in less than two weeks.

Worse off is that a shadowy ancient dilapidated ship, with death written all over it, floats into their path.

It’s however not all doom and gloom for the castaways, as the rickety ship has the spare parts that the crew could use to repair their own.

But things are never that simple.

In order to survive, the Mordrake crew must join forces despite the fact that the ruthless man who killed their captain lives among them.

The dreaded Corsairs ruled the Human colonies with an iron fist for almost a hundred years.

As they reigned supreme over the space lanes that traversed the Terran Empire, they carefully protected the location of their base.

Nothing however lasts forever.

In just two days of ferocious battle, the Battle of Turtle led to widespread destruction: the Corsair civilization was no more.

When Adam went to war, his only hope was to return to the love of his life.

He however wasn’t a soldier in the conventional way, and Marsha wasn’t the typical spec either.

To the many that dedicated their lives to Space Fleet, they’ll stop at nothing to keep it safe.

Relieved of her duties as a C.I.A ‘Agent’ after showing up to work in a dress, Cindy-Mei Winter heads for a long vacation in the outback.

Stopping over at the planet of Deanna, which is everything but exciting, it’s just the perfect place for her to relax.

Everything however changes when a Ruminarii Hammerhead, which hasn’t been sighted by Humans in more than eight decades, arrives—signaling invasion.

As mayhem unravels in Atro City, Cindy-Mei realizes that her holiday has been short-lived.

With the Gimp back in full force, Cindy-Mei will need the help of some strange friends in order to triumph.

Time travel wasn’t for everyone, which is why the Time Saving Agency preferred hiring fresh agents.

Johnathan Scrooby was never in it for the money, but rather the thrill—although the pay was generous.

With gazillions of lives at his hands, all that Scrooby wanted was not to mess up things.

He did so once in the tiniest of ways, and it disrupted things for decades.

Events occurred in a particular way. And if they didn’t, life would never be the way we know it.

Nonetheless, something doesn’t feel right in the Anals of History.

Someone somewhere was up to no good, and it was up to Scrooby to stop them.

As a third-rate colony in the Terran Empire, Deanna was as dull as they come.

Everything however changed when Gary Beck, notoriously known as Beck the Badfeller, knocked down a dark crow with his jeepo while journeying to San Fedora.

Left without a spare tire, everything went south.

A beautiful yet ruthless executioner had descended on Atro City.

Beneath the beautiful looks, she hid a wicked thirst for blood.

However, this time round, she was after vengeance.

Beck the Badfeller, the most renowned bounty hunter in Deanna, was no more.

Will Cindy-Mei Winter and her dedicated friends be able to solve the mystery surrounding his death?

Back at the local space port after visiting some relatives in Mars City that he never knew he had, Timaset Skooch arrives only to find his latest acquisition missing.

Not long afterwards, the crew of his dilapidated loderunner “Celeste”, return from the pub, only to find themselves unemployed.

Nothing has been going as expected ever since Skoochs resigned as a P.I. and ventured into running cargo.

As things begin to implode, Skoochs finds himself in a precarious position.

Given 10,000 credits, he is instructed to ferry two passengers to an asteroid in Jupiter’s ring.

But a sinister figure won’t rest until they are all dead…

Sheriff Peggy-Ann Muller is unexpectedly caught up in a series of puzzling events, far more puzzling than usual.

A sinister force is brewing on the distant and generally peaceful Deanna—the third-rate colony in the Terran Empire.

Things are looking very bleak.

No one knows when or how it began. The only certain thing is that nothing is the same.

Out of nowhere, Deanna was suddenly full of abhorrence.

A deadly plan was about to unfold.

The eccentric locals of Deanna have never faced anything like this before.

Will they be able to stop it? Will they manage to overcome the task at hand?

Terrible times have descended on Deanna, the tiny third-rate colony in the Terran Empire.

Not even the hilarious names for its sun (Ramalama) and two moons (Ding and Dong) prevented terrible things from befalling this tiny world.

When a terrifying assassination takes place, three of the biggest cities on Deanna are overpowered by a revolutionary army.

The local government soon retreats.

The battle lines have been drawn. War is inevitable.

This eccentric and tiny world is about to be crippled by a devastating and uncivil war that will be with its fair share of heroes, villains, aliens, victims, criminals, volunteers, vampires, epic space battles, bovine torpedoes, and some time travel.
