Marie Fontaine is one of the best assassins OutLook ever produced—precise, untraceable, unflinching. A master of deep cover and infiltration. Her new mission should be routine: eliminate a list of whistleblowers threatening powerful interests. No names. No...
Be Worth the Echo is a theology for the repairers—the ones who refuse to abandon meaning just because the machinery broke.
Across time and tradition, we’ve treated divinity as power, obedience, and mystery. But what if holiness is maintenance? What if the sacred is the system itself—law, love, and consent working in balance—and the divine act...
“Time is unraveling. The only people who can stop it already retired.”
Kendra Cassidy never expected to command a starship again. Neither did her wives—Admiral Aiyana Cassidy and Captain Minerva Cassidy. After centuries of battles, betrayals, and rebuilding civilization from the ashes of war, they were supposed to be done.
So you picked up a book and liked it. Great! But now you're wondering: where does it go from here?
That’s where this lovely, chaotic, wildly interconnected graphic comes in. This isn’t a strict “start here, then go there” reading order. This is more like a sci-fi choose-your-own-adventure map—minus the page numbers and childhood trauma.

SATIRE WARNING: NOW WITH 120 DAYS OF NONSTOP PROFANITY! This is George Carlin–style political commentary. It contains truth, vulgarity, constitutional literacy, and a deep sense of “what the actual hell?” If you believe Alina Habba should be a federal prosecutor because she once yelled at a judge on TV, please close this tab and go reread the Constitution — slowly — with adult supervision.
Ladies, gentlemen, patriots, and those desperately Googling “Can a president legally appoint his...
SATIRE DISCLAIMER (Now With Unlimited Talk, Text, and Bullshit): This is political comedy. It is loud, rude, and 5G-enabled for maximum sarcasm coverage. If you think Donald Trump is actually building a smartphone in America, you’re already in danger of dropping below 3 IQ bars. Consult your doctor before purchasing any product described as “Made in the USA” by a man whose signature business model is lying with gold trim.
Ladies and gentlemen…patriots…suckers…and people who purchased crypto...
