When, one by one, Sethran Kada’s friends disappear — all guardians of a dangerous secret — it’s time to worry.

Joined by his partner Ciela, Seth is drawn into a desperate search stretching from rebel strongholds to the dangerous fringes of Commonwealth space. What begins as a rescue mission quickly unravels into something far larger: a breakthrough threatening to expose the secrets of Killian’s Maze, a hidden network buried deep within subspace itself.

A discovery powerful enough to reshape civilization.

Or destroy it.

As rebel factions close in and loyalties begin to fracture, Seth must decide how far he is willing to go to protect the people he cares about — and what sacrifices he is prepared to make once the Maze begins pulling them all beyond the limits of endurance and understanding.

A Marine and his mech. Partners by design; brothers by war.

After losing his arm in combat against enemy forces on the planet sk’Alen, Gunnery Sergeant John D. Ryerson is drafted into a classified program pairing elite Marines with intelligent mechs. His partner, MIMIC-01, soon nicknamed “Mike,” bears echoes of Ryerson’s dead brother’s personality matrix. Together they are sent to the Tau Ceti front to test the system in live fire.

But as the sk’Alen insurgents grow bolder, Ryerson and Mike discover the aliens aren’t acting alone. Human contractors have been supplying them with Terran weapons, and the pair uncovers a conspiracy stretching back to Earth’s corporate defense giants, leaving Ryerson with a choice.

Will Ryerson follow his orders—a Marine prerogative—or will he risk exposing the betrayal that could cost him everything?

Dropping out of sub-space into the wrong galactic sector, Sethran Kada wakes up with a headache and an extraordinary alien aboard his ship. She implores him to help stop the abductions of her people, a newly evolved species emerging from sub-space. Their dangerous potential has caught the attention of rebel factions as well as the ruling Commonwealth. When contact with her kind turns pilots into casualties, the Governors fear an imminent invasion engineered by their rebel enemies.

Pursued by Air Command, Seth heads deep into rebel-controlled territory to recover the stolen entities and keep this deadly weapon from falling into the wrong hands. Things get personal when his alien visitor begins to transform his mind and his life, turning the rescue mission into a fight for survival for all of them.

Quantum Tangle is part of Chris Reher’s Targon Tales series but does not intersect the other stories. Sethran Kada previously appeared in The Catalyst and also in Rebel Alliances.

It’s a dirty galaxy and someone has to clean it. Avoiding the wealthy inhabitants on the upper levels of Station Kelly Kornienko is bot-programmer Triana’s number one rule. Well, number two, right after “eat all the chocolate.”

But when one of her cleaning bots finds a dead body, all the rules go out the airlock. A highly connected security agent interrupts her routine with stories of missing bodies, and Triana can’t ignore him; it’s cooperate or find a new job. A girl has to pay the rent, even on a crappy studio compartment.

Working with a shiny detective beats a shuttle dirt-side, so Triana lends her programming skills to Agent O’Neill’s investigation. Together, they find more victims and evidence of a major cover-up.

It will take all Triana’s technical talents, most of O’Neill’s connections, and some really excellent croissants to stop the murders, save her job, and ultimately, her life.

The Vacuum of Space is the first book in a completed series.

This book was previously published as Murder is Messy
