To defeat the alien horde, one captain must put his humanity on the line

The Sa’Nerra are merciless invaders, armed with a neural weapon that turns Fleet crew against their own. Warships go rogue. Trust evaporates. Humanity faces extinction, and surrender seems like the only option.

Captain Lucas Sterling is one of the few who’ve faced the Sa’Nerra and lived. Selected for the black-ops Omega program for his cold-hearted efficiency, he commands the advanced AI-powered warship Invictus and an elite crew, including a first officer with superhuman strength. Their mission: take the fight deep into enemy territory and eradicate the Sa’Nerran threat forever.

But Sterling must face a terrible truth. To beat an enemy without boundaries, he must abandon his own. He must fight without emotion, without rules, and without mercy.

As the line between ally and enemy blurs, Sterling must decide how much of his humanity he’s willing to sacrifice to save the species.

At what price is victory? The Omega Taskforce will soon find out.

Six books of relentless sci-fi action with more than 700 5-star ratings.

Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Old Man’s War, and Battlestar Galactica. This military space opera delivers ruthless alien warfare, devastating space combat, and impossible moral choices that will grip you from the first page and never let go.

Master Sergeant Gant Maker was a highly-decorated and well-respected Marine – until his last mission left him as the sole survivor of an encounter with a vicious race called the Vacra. Served up as a scapegoat and drummed out of the military, he has since lived a life of seclusion with only an adopted alien as a companion.

Now the Vacra have returned. As the only person to have ever faced them and survived, Maker is reinstated in the Corps and given the onerous task of finding this enemy on a world located at the edge of known space. Assisting him is an unlikely band of military rejects, including a blind sharpshooter, an unstable psychic, and a genetically-engineered killing machine who refuses to fight.

Given that the Vacra have superior weapons and technology, Maker recognizes that his team is at a distinct disadvantage. But Marines are nothing if not resourceful, and Maker has an audacious plan that just may level the playing field – if it doesn’t get them all killed.
