First there was Homer's ancient play, THE ODYSSEY, then there was Christopher Nolan's major feature film adaption, ODYSSEY, and then there was the shared-world space opera retelling, NOT TO YIELD.
**************
NOT TO YIELD (Three Ravens Publishing)
Ten years in the making (I first conceived of the project in 2015 while attending LibertyCon and it was finally published in 2025), a massive shared-world anthology written by 18 of today's most talented sci-fi authors, the epic space opera retelling of Homer's THE ODYSSEY is here!

It is the end of a bloody and savage 10-year-long interstellar war. Earth is part of the 230 sentient races of the Polisian War Fleet on their su***de mission to destroy “The Scourge,” an unknown bellicose spacefaring species whose only purpose is to annihilate all intelligent life and colonize their sterilized worlds.
On the far side of The Milky Way Galaxy, Captain Tennyson Illiadus and her crew of The Ekaterina infiltrate the enemy’s massive, rogue Dyson sphere, and set off a devastating Singularity-Bomb, an all-devouring Dark Matter Fountain which not only extinguishes the enemy but most of the galactic space-gate network that is the travel infrastructure for the entire galaxy.
The Ekaterina is now cut off from Earth. Stranded far from home, the crew must combine cold-sleep hibernation, near-light-speed relativistic space flight, and random, unmapped, Dark Energy Arterial Tunnels in a dangerous, epic journey of Homeric proportions.
