Across thousands of planets in the Krey Empire, all humans have a single title… Slave.

Born to oppression, Siena is an ordinary young woman, until an act of defiance leaves her scarred and marked as a rebel. She’s sold to Ero, a fallen Krey with a desperate plan to redeem his once-powerful family. He intends to enhance slaves by altering their genetic code, increasing their value through an illegal experiment.

Reklin, a bone-armored soldier, hunts them both. His orders come from a mysterious source, but his loyalty to the Empire has no limits.

Noble, soldier, and slave, they are about to discover a dangerous truth–that humans can be augmented. But none can predict the abilities they’ll unlock, or the rebellion they’ll unleash.

Battle to save a doomed planet

When the Concordian colonists finally reached Earth after years lost in space they expected a short visit. All they needed was bio-material to reseed their world.

What they hadn’t anticipated was the arrival of the Scythians.

They learn the deadly aliens attacked the planet once before, devastating the burgeoning civilization. Now they’re here to stay.

Earth is weak. Humanity has barely begun to climb back to its previous level of development. The Concordians face a terrible choice: stick around and help in the effort to repel the invasion, or return home and save Concordia.

Each option carries its own risks, but with or without the Concordians’ help, Earth seems doomed.

Redeemer is book eight in the epic space colonization adventure, Space Colony One.

Grab all seven books in the thrilling COLONY MARS series, plus a bonus short story in this great value 1800-page sci-fi box set!

All contact is lost with the first privately funded colony on Mars during a long and destructive sandstorm. Satellite imagery of the aftermath shows extensive damage to the facility and the fifty-four colonists who called it home are presumed dead.

Three years later, a new mission sets down on the planet surface to investigate what remains of the derelict site. It’s not long before, mission biologist, Dr. Jann Malbec, discovers the truth about how the colony was funded — by conducting illegal genetic experiments using the unsuspecting colonists as guinea pigs. She also realizes that while extraordinary breakthroughs were made, they came with a terrible human price.

Nevertheless, once news of these experiments makes it back to Earth, powerful corporations begin to fight for control of this research, and start to send new missions to acquire it — by force if necessary. But Malbec fears that allowing this research to return to Earth has the potential to doom humanity to a pandemic of apocalyptic proportions. So she vows to do everything she can to prevent this from happening — even if it means destroying what remains of the colony and any chance she has of returning home.

This box set contains all six Colony Mars novels plus two short stories!
