Secrets come in all shapes and sizes

Jake has left it late, and the only summer job he can find is on the remote Scottish island of Elsay. Still, that sounds fine – the work isn’t too hard, the pay’s all right, and the scenery is great.

But he soon has second thoughts about staying. His boss, Fraser, is a bit of a rogue, while Fraser’s cute but snippy daughter, Alva, takes against him from the start. And the oddball characters in the local pub aren’t exactly welcoming.

Then Jake stumbles on an extraordinary secret that changes everything that’s known about the universe. A secret he can scarcely believe. A secret that Alva and the island recluse, Ruan Strang, have sworn to protect at all costs.

As the mystery deepens, the questions only mount – and none of the answers make any sense. Plus, Jake’s falling for Alva and she still hasn’t so much as smiled at him.

One thing’s for certain – he’s not going anywhere until the full, fantastic truth is revealed.

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.

A derelict warship, ancient but still alive. A small team of humans fighting for all humanity.

Built for a time when the races were just finding their way to the stars, finding that they could dominate others. The galactic conquests created the arms race and the ancients, the Progenitors had to protect their own. They built a ship to drive the others away.

It worked. And it didn’t. The Progenitors abandoned the galaxy to the newcomers, leaving relics behind as monuments to their failure.

Humanity spread to the stars and ran headlong into the established races. A new war begins, and no one conducts war better than humanity except for the Blaze Collective.

The two go head-to-head while humanity frantically searches for something to give them an advantage. Ancient technology. The derelicts scattered across the galaxy. Gutted and useless.

Except for one, hidden in plain sight, close to Earth. Major Declan Payne takes his team aboard to find that the ship is no derelict, and it needs him as much as humanity needs it.

Battleship: Leviathan. A Doomsday Weapon whose only goal is peace.

Experience the start of a Military Sci-Fi Series from Amazon Bestselling author Craig Martelle. It’s perfect for fans of Rick Partlow, Jay Allan, and Joshua Dalzelle.

Commander Noa Sato plans a peaceful leave on her home planet Luddeccea … but winds up interrogated and imprisoned for her involvement in the Archangel Project. A project she knows nothing about.

Professor James Sinclair wakes in the snow, not remembering the past twenty four hours, or knowing why he is being pursued. The only thing he knows is that he has to find Commander Sato, a woman he’s never met.

A military officer from the colonies and a civilian from Old Earth, they couldn’t have less in common. But they have to work together to save the lives of millions–and their own.
Every step of the way they are haunted by the final words of a secret transmission:

The archangel is down.

The Galactic Empire disappeared a lifetime ago. Jake Stewart doesn’t care, he needs to earn a living.

He fled his station in the outer Belt, enrolled in the merchant academy, and snagged a scholarship. The future looks bright. But a crooked boss, some paperwork shenanigans, and a freeloading best friend put him in a bind.

When he’s accused of a murder he didn’t commit, he goes on the run from the Planetary Militia. There’s only his wits and a suspiciously helpful pretty girl between him and jail. Can he trust her to prove his innocence? Or does she have another agenda?

Tired of books where everything that moves gets shot? How about a book where people use their brains? If you like strategy over tactics and thought before action, The Adventures of a Jump Space Accountant series is for you.
