An empire on the brink. An enemy rises.
Two brothers fight the future.

Amity Station is the heartbeat of the forty-world People’s Collectorate. Three giant stations, each two miles long, connected by a train system called the Crossway. Built in the wake of war to unify humanity, it’s the center of galactic government and the most important scientific research.

It may also be the last refuge against a growing chaos.

Trevor and Connor Stallion, war survivors as children and bearers of a tarnished legacy, are thrown into a brewing conflict while enemies – seen and unseen – threaten the stability of an empire. Their story begins with a drug overdose that might signal much more and leads to subversive twists and turns in this five-book saga that will upend the shape of the galaxy.

THEIR ARENA. HIS RULES.

***FULL AND COMPLETE SERIES!***

When Captain Joel Richmond is shot down during humanity’s war against the invading Brath, he crashes on a planet where combat isn’t just a means of war – it’s entertainment.

Sentenced to the Necrodrome, a deadly arena where prisoners pilot starships in lethal aerial battles for the masses, Richmond faces a stark choice: kill his fellow inmates or die trying.

But Richmond isn’t playing by their rules.

In a world where alliances mean death, he’s building them.

Where survival means destroying others, he’s uniting them.

His captors want a bloodthirsty spectacle – instead, they’re about to get a revolution.

There’s just one problem: no one has ever escaped the Necrodrome alive.

The Arena series offers an exciting adventure of survival, loyalty, and courage in the face of overwhelming odds!

Packed with space dogfights, daring rescues, alien intrigue and a hero pushed to his breaking point and beyond, the ARENA series is an action-packed sci-fi adventure that will leave you breathless until the final page.
