Genres: Romance, Science Fiction, Mystery,
Over thirty million years have passed since the fall of the mostly forgotten Human Empire.
What has replaced it is a universe of conflicting empires and other factions, all vying for dominance and power.
In the midst of this cosmopolitical landscape, Xueri, a young and seemingly insignificant prince on Planet Rualaj, an isolated snowy planet on the fringes of the universe, finds his destiny to be tied up in great cosmic events.
The Rualajese, unlike any other alien race, possess immortality, a trait that seizes the attention of the Empire of Durosia and catapults them to invade Xueri's world.
Xueri and his people try their best to resist, but are hopeless against the mighty alien empire. He is separated from his best friend and now girlfriend, Sapphire, to be put in a ten thousand-year coma while in a lab on another planet.
After awakening, Xueri finds himself in an unfamiliar universe as he slowly recovers his memories.
Meanwhile, the new Durosian Emperor, Vielodesi, is desperate for immortality, which Durosia has still failed to extract, as he finds himself in his seventies and with no heir. Vielodesi decides he must finish what his ancestors started and capture Xueri to extract his immortality.
A struggle that will determine the fate of the universe and the supernatural realm awaits Xueri.
The question is, can he even save himself?

“The Milo Mystery” – An Eco-Adventure Filled with Laughter and Lessons
The Sorgho Squad is back on the trail, but this time their journey is deeper—literally and figuratively. "The Milo Mystery" unravels the story of Milo, a guardian of biodiversity who has been dormant for centuries. This chapter isn’t just about finding a lost friend; it’s about rediscovering the balance between humans, nature, and the land that sustains us.
The Quest for Milo
The journey begins with the Squad decoding historical records that point to Milo’s last known location in Nebraska. What seems like a straightforward journey takes a turn when they meet a fourth-generation farmer wrestling with the modern-day challenges of agriculture. His struggle to balance profitability with stewardship of the land strikes a chord with the Squad—and sets the stage for a grander mission.
Secrets Beneath the Surface
The trail leads to a hidden Masonic temple, an architectural marvel from Benjamin Franklin’s era. Overgrown with vines and teeming with wildlife, the temple is both haunting and beautiful. As they explore, the Squad discovers riddles etched in stone, each one nudging them closer to Milo’s resting place.
Every room reveals something extraordinary—flocks of birds, an underground stream, and flora that seem to thrive as if nurtured by Milo himself. The setting bursts with life, symbolizing the very mission Milo has been on: fostering biodiversity.
Milo Awakens
When the Squad finally finds Milo, his entrance is as dramatic as it is delightful. Emerging with an explosion of light and surrounded by swirling birds, Milo immediately charms everyone with his quick wit and unwavering passion for nature. His first words? A humorous complaint about the lack of rhymes for “biodiversity.”
Milo doesn’t just rejoin the Squad; he rejuvenates their purpose. His words remind them that the power of biodiversity lies in its ability to heal and sustain the planet. He speaks not just as a character, but as a messenger for everyone—urging readers to consider how their everyday actions impact the environment.
Laughter, Learning, and Legacy
One of the highlights of this chapter is the blend of humor and heartfelt lessons. Whether it’s Milo joking about his “cool catchphrase” or Professor Sorgho’s mishap with a bell (resulting in hilarious consequences), the story balances light moments with deep reflections.
Readers will find themselves laughing, learning, and thinking about their role in protecting the planet. From discussions about sorghum’s regenerative farming benefits to the importance of biodiversity, the narrative weaves knowledge into every scene.
The Takeaway
Chapter 3 isn’t just another adventure—it’s a reminder of the profound connection between people and the planet. With Milo’s revival, the Sorgho Squad is more united than ever, ready to take on the world’s challenges. From rebuilding communities to teaching sustainable practices, their mission is clear: nurture the earth, one step at a time.
Why This Chapter Matters
Readers are left with a sense of urgency to make environmentally conscious choices. The artwork paints a vivid picture of biodiversity, from the temple’s vibrant ecosystem to the lively farmlands. Milo’s humor and wisdom add a fresh dynamic to the team, making this chapter a pivotal moment in the series.
With their team finally whole, the Squad is ready to embark on their next mission. But where will their journey take them next? What challenges will they face as they spread the message of sustainability?
Stay tuned for the next installment of the Sorgho Squad—a story that keeps inspiring and reminding us that we all have a part to play in nurturing our planet.
