A galaxy on the brink of war. A discovery that can unite humanity—or ignite its destruction.
When a lone-wolf starship pilot follows a hunch into a forbidden nebula, she discovers a secret powerful enough to rewrite humanity’s place in the cosmos – or erase it entirely.

Five foot nothing and no fear because she drives a sixty-ton mech. Enter Lieutenant Xi Bao…

Does humanity deserve to survive?

The Metal Legion, aging mechs with a lot of fight left in them. They lead the way, find the enemy’s weaknesses and exploit the hell out of them. Then they call in suborbital artillery to finish the job, even while the battle rages.

Never fight fair when fighting for your life. This is the motto of the Metal Legion.

They fight to win.

The mechs stand tall, or crawl, or run, or scamper. A dozen different designs, held together by rough welds and sheer willpower. But the bodies within, like Xi Bao, refuse to give up, refuse to give in.

Taking her Scorpion-class mech underground, she finds the enemy, in numbers far greater than she was told. Knee deep in the war, her crew gives their old mech new vigor for one last chance at glory.

Victory or death! Fight to survive.

Fire the mains and enjoy the company of the crew as they live for each other, as they fight for all humanity. Unleash the Scorpion’s fury. Join the Metal Legion today.

Perfect for fans of Mass Effect, Stargate, and epic space operas, the Ascension Gate series delivers relentless action, unforgettable characters, and a universe filled with mystery, danger, and hope.

Over 1,000 pages of Military Science Fiction action!

They struck without warning. Now, survival depends on a man who’s never led.

Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Hanson was supposed to be an engineer, not a hero. Promoted to second-in-command aboard the CSV Margaret Thatcher, Arthur hoped for a quiet tour of duty—showing strength and keeping the peace.

He never expected a coordinated terrorist onslaught that would shatter the fleet and leave tens of thousands dead.

With the Thatcher crippled and reinforcements trapped behind political red tape, Arthur is thrust into command. Haunted by doubt but driven by duty, he must rally the broken survivors and strike back against a ruthless enemy who shows no mercy.

Because in the Orion Spur, freedom isn’t given. It’s fought for.

And aboard a ship named after the Iron Lady herself, surrender is not an option.

Perfect for fans of epic space battles, gritty heroes, and heart-pounding military science-fiction.

The future of an orbiting space colony is threatened by a fugitive and the assassin on her trail in this science fiction adventure from three-time Hugo Award winner Allen Steele

Skycorp has always expected the near-Earth space colony Clarke County to serve as a cash cow, bringing the corporate behemoth a substantial return on its investment through food production and tourism. Now that the Church of Elvis is planning a major revival meeting on the colony, the execs anticipate that the devout and the curious alike will be rocketing to Clarke County in droves. Its residents, however, would prefer to be left alone, and there has even been some dangerous talk of freedom and independence from Earth.
 
It’s Sheriff John Bigthorn’s job to keep the peace on the colony, but his work may prove more difficult than usual in the upcoming days—especially following the unexpected arrival of a frightened young woman carrying money and important data she’s stolen from her gangster ex-boyfriend. With an ice-cold assassin called the Golem on the runaway’s tail, the holy “Living Elvis” stirring up the faithful, and revolution in the wind, Bigthorn will have to lay off the peyote and stay particularly sharp if he hopes to prevent total chaos and bloodshed . . . and perhaps even save his floating artificial world.

Playing bodyguard for a grandma vacationing in Artemis City should be an easy day’s work for someone with Raj Demetriou’s skill set—but as the bullets begin to fly, Raj is starting to think he picked the wrong old lady to guard today.

Lasadi Cazinho knows there are harder people to rob than the head of Artemis City’s biggest criminal organization — but probably not many. Still, she’s up the challenge—until a series of mysterious assassinations have her scrambling for her life.

Raj and Lasadi may both be down on their luck. But as a series of near misses and close calls spin their futures into a collision course, that’s about to change.
