It takes more than truth to serve justice.

Captain James Henry is left stinging after the latest firefight. However, lost cargo and payments mean little as a disturbing message reaches into neutral space – his uncle is dying. Uncle Charlie was the one who saved his life after Jim’s disgraceful dismissal from the Coalition Defense Force. He owes the man an enormous debt for giving him renewed purpose.

But only the dead can pay the Ferryman.

Regardless of the risks, Jim and the crew of the Shadow Wolf return to New Virginia to offer final farewells. But the lies that forced him from his homeland continue to taunt, and the schemers buried in the CDF are convinced he’s returned to throw a wrench into their carefully laid plans. Plans positioned long ago like pieces on a chess board.

Ready to be played.

Jim’s resurgence triggers deception from every sector. His old CDF crew from the Laffey, who’ve never forgotten their CO’s sacrifice, are rounded up and imprisoned, while Jim is dragged from his uncle’s bedside. But deceit goes too far when the heart of the Shadow Wolf is threatened.

Now it’s a race to rescue the wrongfully accused and expose the long-hidden truth in a galactic game where there is no second place.

And the heart of the Terran Coalition lies in the balance.

If you love Babylon 5, The Expanse, and Destroyermen, you must read “Breach of Faith,” a space opera sci-fi series that will take you to the heart of duty, sacrifice, and the unseen scars of those who serve.

In the year 2020, a landslide off the English coast uncovers an alien Escape Pod that had crashed into a prehistoric swamp. The dormant AI awakens to a very different world it entered millennia previously. Now, it must utilize stored ancient patterning technology to reconstitute its Master. However, this proves no easy mission as it scours this strange new world for essential materials to rebuild its ship.

As a homeless man, Zeke has worked hard to claim a back-alley as his own territory where a restaurant’s staff leave him food scraps. As if things aren’t bad enough Zeke’s escaped a Dark Government agency. He has a partial metal skull, forged from a meteorite and hammered into shape by a Middle-Eastern blacksmith. The strange alloy has irreversibly bonded with his brain and is leaking into his DNA, changing it. Now the DARPA scientists want him back.

When the newly-revived Master discovers that the only source of an essential component for its ship is the foreign material in Zeke’s head, the alien faces a difficult moral dilemma. The Master comes from a species that reveres all biological life wherever it is found, and Zeke will die if the metal cap is removed. It’s left to the AI to find another way?

Unfortunately, her strongest ally, the cyborg Leonidas, may become a liability since the cyborgs and the Starseers have a long history of hating each other.

It doesn’t help that Leonidas and Dr. Dominguez have a mission of their own, one that could jeopardize all that Alisa is fighting for.

After spending four years fighting for the Alliance, fighter pilot Alisa Marchenko only wants one thing: to reunite with her young daughter. But this involves a journey to her former home world, which has become the last imperial stronghold. Since the imperials have a lot of reasons to loathe members of the Alliance right now, just getting down to the planet will be a challenge, and it doesn’t help that her passengers are stirring up trouble of their own…

Even if Alisa is able to land, she may find that more questions await her than answers, and that her late husband kept a startling secret from her, one that could change her life forever.

Elle was just a normal teenager enjoying her summer vacation when everything changes. After an emergency planetwide ‘reset’ on her homeworld, she instead awakens on a spaceship and is told that the fate of known civilization is in her hands.

Paired with a team of strangers, Elle embarks on an interstellar quest to protect the Hegemony by sealing the Master Archive, the backup for the crystalline network. With only vague clues to guide them, Elle and her new friends must track down ancient relics and unravel hidden secrets before their worlds and loved are lost in shadow forever.
