Jake Hammett was selected. He didn’t volunteer. He just got the job handed to him, like it or not.

Time to get busy and do it.

A distant Star Empire ruled by ancient Amazon warriors, forgotten by Earth for 3,000 years. In the other direction, an implacable alien enemy, bent to destroy every human on Earth. A final warning from an AI starship, who just happens to like humans – and makes damn good vodka screwdrivers! All dumped into the laps of three unlikely lovers. Now they must build a space navy from scratch – forge an alliance with an ancient matriarchy who shoots first and asks questions later – and prepare to fight a cruel and unmerciful enemy!

Good luck with that!

A space colonization story about seeking independence and home rule in the face of corporate greed. Tribal women bind together in a war zone where they are discounted as not important enough to save or keep safe.

She witnesses forced labor, forced migration, and the threat of an epidemic from bad water. She sees how tribal women–often wearing burkas–find solutions for saving the children in a conflict zone, and she commits to the their cause for Home Rule.

Brianna Miller is an isolated girl–a mixed-blood orphan–among the Dolviet tribes. With the lessons from Dr. Greensboro, the abuse from soldiers, the sisterhood among victims, Brianna prepares for a future she will choose for herself. But first she must travel offworld.
