A dangerous new passenger. A ship full of elite women marines. A package containing a terrible secret.

Meet Kael Sidassian: disgruntled mercenary and glorified guard of doors. Forced into a life he would never have chosen as a cyborg merc, he’s lost not only his freedom but also his ability to feel anything—or appreciate the opposite sex—because of his cybernetic augmentations. That is, until last week when a renegade scientist blew the lock off his testosterone and reopened his eyes.

A chance to free himself has landed in Kael’s lap. He can run and hope his “employers” forget he was ever born. He just needs to get a ride off this backwater planet and deliver the strange capsule that’s been foisted on him. One last mission.

Unfortunately for Kael, there’s only one ride off this planet. And it’s on the starship Audacity, led by famed war veteran Commander Ellen Ryu and her elite marines. Dangerous, competent, well-trained, female marines.

Commander Ryu is not to be trifled with, and she doesn’t trust easily. And she certainly doesn’t appreciate flirting. As an enemy rises to face them both, Ryu could be Kael’s savior—or the one to finally end him.

Because these women are on a hidden mission to seek and destroy abuses of technology anywhere in the galaxy.

Abuses like the strange capsule hidden in his cabin.

For lovers of sci-fi adventure with a side of romance in the tradition of Lindsay Buroker, David Weber, Elizabeth Moon, and Lois McMaster Bujold, THE EMPRESS CAPSULE is the first volume in the Audacity Saga.

Genetic engineering. Conspiracy. An unstoppable attack.

Karin Makos lives a lie. Genetically engineered from birth and raised in a scientific compound to gain unnatural powers, she has since escaped and built another life, hidden from those who created her. For her, the chance to pilot a small-time scrounging vessel to remote corners of space is the dream. After years on the run with her sister and enduring the constant paranoia of living planet-side, going off-radar gives her exactly what she wants: freedom.

That dream is shattered. A system-wide attack decimates humanity and leaves the survivors scraping for clues. And Karin might know where to look.

But digging into her past comes with a whole new set of secrets and consequences, none of which she wants to face. Plagued by strange dreams of her sister and a sense of growing danger, Karin and the crew of the Nemina must race desperately across space to find their loved ones—and answers.

Like Firefly? Can’t get enough Killjoys? Then this series is for you. Join Karin and the crew of the Nemina in this fast-paced space opera thrill ride that contains strong leads, high-octane action, and more than its share of snark. Perfect for fans of Lindsay Buroker, Rachel Aukes, and Jennifer Foehner Wells.  99¢ on Amazon for limited time.

First they stole his identity. Now they want him dead.

Micah Case is one of the Geminate Navy’s elite Shadow Recon pilots. He’s flown into enemy space countless times. When his spacecraft disintegrates around him above an alien world, Micah awakens with no memory of his past, and with a mysterious voice inside his head.

His genetic code contains the power to destroy all life.

Hunted by his own military for reasons yet unclear, Micah embarks on a desperate journey to find the unknown voice. Together, they must stop an Akkadian assassin, bent on stealing a deadly material from a secret base and delivering it to her people.

The stakes are impossibly high, but failure is not an option. The alternative would mean the extinction of a species Micah can no longer call his own: Humanity.

The Chiral Agent is the first book in the new Biogenesis War series. The adventure continues with The Chiral Protocol.
Read all about what led up to Micah’s journey in the prequel, The Chiral Conspiracy, available now on Amazon.com, in paperback and in Kindle Unlimited.
