EARTH HAS CHANGED. The old world order collapsed following the meteor impacts of 2031 when fire rained down from the skies, instantly vaporizing millions. Billions more died during the Long Winter and resource wars that followed. Over one hundred years have passed since those devastating events and new societies have formed around the globe.

In North America, the fragile peace that exists among the continent’s independent nations and city-states is under threat. The ambitious Grand Guardian of the People’s Republic of America is mobilizing his massive war machine in order to make real his dream of reunifying a former great power. But on the eve of the offensive, a leading scientist dies under mysterious circumstances, though not before he entrusts another with the key to unlocking a secret so powerful, it could not only unravel the Grand Guardian’s designs, but also doom, or save, all of humanity.

The Warrior, The Renegade, and The Conqueror (the final book in the series), now available.

From the Shadows of the Cosmos, an Ancient Evil awakens from its ten-thousand-year slumber, its presence sending ripples through the fabric of time and space. It’s seething with anger and an unquenchable thirst for revenge. Now, it sets its sights on annihilating every galaxy with merciless Fury!

Nearly exterminated by an unimaginably powerful enemy, Chase takes the battered survivors of the Star Alliance Fleet along a random escape vector…

…Their destination? A small, uncharted planet called… Earth.
There, they hope to regroup and rebuild their forces.

Little do they know that their fate was decided eons ago, and the ancient enemy is scattering their forces throughout the cosmos to hunt them down and wipe them out… one by one, until the Star Alliance is no more.

Aboard the starship Destiny, insubordinate ace pilot Lt. Chase Athanatos has always felt different—as if a mysterious force pulses through his veins, igniting his soul with the fires of destiny.

That rare, untapped power of old may very well hold the key to the survival of the cosmos.

A cosmic showdown of mythic magnitude looms on the horizon—the most devastating war the universe has ever witnessed. With morale plummeting aboard the Destiny and with Earth’s fate now hanging by a thread, Chase must face his inner demons and rise to the challenge.

But if he cannot conquer himself, how can he ever hope to defeat an evil that has been plotting the universe’s demise for all of eternity?

A notorious outlaw enlists his niece’s assistance in a major heist, and she agrees to help him out — just this once. But when it turns out she’s meant to steal data from the Galactic Fleet, she’s not sure she’ll be allowed to walk away…

—

Secretly, Sloane Tarnish has always admired her outlaw of an uncle and his tales of not-so-legal adventures across the galaxy–but she never thought she’d be asked to help with one of his heists.

When Uncle Vin shows up on her med school campus with a plan to steal a chip full of Fleet intelligence–and the baffling idea to have her play a key role in the scheme–Sloane’s got her doubts. Uncle Vin doesn’t seem to realize that her top skills involve the kind of shots you drink, not the ones you fire.

But Vin’s convinced the Fleet’s got plans to install empirical rule across the free galaxy, and that this data could stop them before they can begin. When a bunch of rogue delivery drones start taking shots at her–and not the liquid kind–she has to figure he’s onto something.

To prove it, all she needs to do is steal the data key from the middle of a Fleet ball… and right out from under the Commander’s nose.

Too bad she’s got absolutely no idea what she’s doing…
