Meet the Space Punks—the only ones crazy enough to challenge the Pentad’s supreme power…

David wakes up in a high-security prison on the forsaken Martian moon Deimos with no memory of his past. A chance encounter with Aztec, a deadly purple-haired cyborg, propels him into a daring jailbreak. She brings him on board a mysterious warship manned by the most notorious and badass crew of the galaxy—the Space Punks.

One hundred years ago AI waged a devastating war against its human creators. Humanity won, but barely and at a horrible price. Ever since, the solar system has been strictly controlled by the Pentad, a ruthless coalition of megacorporations.

As David tries to regain his memory, he finds himself fighting battles between mechs, cyborgs, robots and super-soldiers alongside his new brothers and sisters-in-arms.

But is there more to the Space Punks than meets the eye? Everyone on board, human and cyborg alike, seems to have their own secret agenda.

Needless to say, the Pentad sends out their best people to get rid of this unruly menace.

And in the shadows lurks the seemingly defeated enemy, a threat to all humankind, ready to strike again…

Space Punks is a sexy, adrenaline-fueled ride for fans of Firefly and Guardians of the Galaxy!

My name is Gemma Keyes. I was an ordinary, utterly forgettable young woman—until I vanished, and I mean that literally. Now I’m on the run in present-day Albuquerque, plunged into a world of cutting-edge nanotechnology, where invisibility is both a gift and a curse.

It all started with Dr. Samuel Bickel, a brilliant nanophysicist, who’s supposed to be dead, but instead is hiding in the tunnels beneath the old weapons storage facility on Kirtland Air Force Base. His creation—smart, learning nanomites—have “gifted” me with “optical invisibility” by bending light around me and have turned my life upside down! I mean, how am I supposed to live or even survive as an invisible woman without being hunted, caged, and treated like a science project?

Read my story. I dare you to.

Kickass sci-fi heroine versus deadly aliens.

Growing up as a Martian on Earth has left Jas Harrington solitary, quick-tempered, and with zero tolerance for fools. All plus points when working as chief security officer aboard prospecting starships.

Jas’s latest berth is on the Galathea, which trawls the reaches of the galaxy seeking precious minerals and rare resources. She thinks it’s a routine trip. She’s wrong.

An inspection of a far-flung planet leaves Jas suspicious that there’s more to the place than meets the eye. If only she could convince the captain of the need for caution, but she might as well wish for a tasty meal in the ship’s canteen.

All hell breaks loose, and Jas’s skills are put to the ultimate test. If she fails, the ship’s crew, the galactic empire, and humanity itself are at risk.

The fast-paced, action-packed Shadows of the Void space opera is a complete series.

The floating colony of Twilight was meant to be humanity’s future—engineered, orderly, and invincible. But its designers built a genetic monoculture destined to fail. Hana Morgenstern and John Miller fled before the collapse, seeking refuge among the North Polars, a breakaway society as devout as it is durable.

But even on the frozen side of Dawkins, danger lurks. Hana’s discovery of time gates offers both salvation and ruin. These portals can reconnect lost human colonies… or unleash extinction from across the stars.

As a deadly storm brews and old enemies close in, Hana, John, and their adopted wolf Haiiro must choose: die where they stand—or leap, once again, into the unknown.

They will wind up where no man has gone before.

They will not be welcomed.

When John Miller signs up for the rescue mission to the Proxima Centauri outpost, he expects to find his former lover, Hana, the brilliant physicist behind the invention of near light engines, dead. 

Instead he and his team find Hana missing and a large part of the outpost destroyed.

John’s team suspects suicide.  John knows Hana would never give up so easily.

John and Hana are very different people. Their relationship was a fluke born of proximity and convenience. But when he discovers her Hail Mary attempt to return to Earth with a dangerous, experimental faster-than-light vessel, he has to follow her.

But it isn’t where Hana has gone that is the real surprise. It’s when … 

Vessels damaged, fighting for survival, Hana and John struggle to rebuild the basics of civilization from scratch. They’re in a world where unboiled water or an untreated cut can result in death, and four-legged predators lurk in the trees.

But the greatest threats to Hana and John are almost human …
