The Carina Reality, A History Of How Humans Became An Interstellar Species
“A plan to unleash a pandemic goes catastrophically wrong, triggering spectacular side effects that reshape humanity. Now, the future rests in the hands of the few who can control the evolved — and dangerous — new humans.”

A Note on Evolution and Re-Awakening
Initially conceived in 2014 and first published in 2015, Cold Star serves as the foundation for The Carina Reality series. The story was always meant to be more than entertainment, and what began as speculative fiction outgrew the genre. The Carina Reality is a dark exploration of pandemics, alien encounters, and the hidden motives of power. At its heart is science fiction layered with social commentary, conspiracy theories, and a healthy dose of “what if?”
An author I admire said, “Carina is not your everyday science fiction. You make the reader think about what it might be like to gain superpowers and interact with aliens.”
That positive spirit guided these stories.
Time makes demands, and the world bows to them. The pandemic, new technologies, and shifts in how we understand power became our reality. Current events made parts of the original story feel less like speculation and more like unsettling echoes of reality. Some of the lighter moments no longer fit. With that in mind, I rewrote and reimagined the series, keeping the heart of the story intact while shaping it for the world we live in now.
The result is a science fiction tale with the pulse of a thriller. Fans of conspiracy theories and spy epics will feel at home. Readers looking for romance will find sparks, and those drawn to fantasy or Ancient Alien theory will discover plenty to fuel their imagination. More than science fiction, The Carina Reality is an entertaining commentary on our existence. Who we are. How we treat each other. What it might mean to engage with aliens.
Also, for those who enjoy the hunt, pop culture Easter eggs are hidden throughout.
This is the story I first imagined. This is also the story rewritten within the world we now know.

The original plan was elegant in its cruelty: seven billion dead.
Genocide on a global scale. Billions were meant to die.
The drug didn’t kill. It re-awakened something ancient and ignited an evolution..
Ordinary people, instantly remade, now wield powers only whispered about in myth and buried in forgotten histories. Imagine receiving abilities that bend the fabric of space-time itself. Governments, corporations, and religions are terrified of the unleashed potential and will stop at nothing to control it.
How do you fight an enemy who is you?
This isn’t about saving humanity; it’s about becoming something new. Our awakened minds are the key to a reality where time is controllable. This is how humanity becomes an interstellar species.
My name is Nathan. I was there to write the eulogy for humanity and became a covert asset who knew too much. We became something new, able to bend time, bridge space, and glimpse the hidden fabric of reality itself.
History says transcendence makes gods of men. Our history has just begun.
The only thing more dangerous than a plan for genocide is the spectacle that follows.
If you crave fast-paced
science fiction that collides conspiracy thrillers with epic space opera, this
is your next read.
Terran Star takes us back to the Super Bowl that NT missed chasing ColdStar. This story isn’t about football. It’s about how ordinary people became something far beyond human.
The drug meant to kill billions reawakened abilities buried deep in human history. Telekinesis. Control of space and time. Powers so remarkable that extraordinary feels is an understatement.
Imagine moving objects with a thought, or manipulating the very fabric of space-time. This is the genesis of the Summitate’s rise, and a terrifying glimpse into abilities that defy understanding.
Power without discipline is chaos.
Governments see weapons. Corporations see profit. Fanatics see divine destiny.
A preacher’s wife falls headfirst into global terrorism and emerges a symbol. An eighteen-year-old ranch hand stumbles upon the ability to bend the fabric of reality. And NT? He knows humanity’s future lies in a new authority rising, determined to control everyone.
If they succeed, there won’t be a future left to fight for.
Caught in the middle are the few who must decide what’s right, no matter how dangerous.
Dive back into The Carina Reality and witness the moment the game changed forever.
