What Price Would You Pay for Freedom?

The Terran Empire, the greatest empire in the history of humanity, is crumbling. Throughout the galaxy, planetary systems seek independence and freedom. Everywhere there is war.

Trying to maintain its grip, the Empire has become more ruthless, and reliant on mercenary armies. The powerful Zeta Corp fills this need with its advanced weapons, and legions of genetically engineered soldiers. These soldiers, while fiercely loyal, are nothing more than slaves.

Danny is a Zeta Corp mercenary who has known nothing but war, and service to Zeta Corp in his short life. But when a routine mission ends in disaster, he finds himself questioning everything he believed in. Pitted against the Empire, and Zeta Corp, can he gain freedom for himself, his friends, and the galaxy?

Find out in War Without End, Book 1 of Fall of the Terran Empire.

A WARRIOR DESTINED * A SISTER RISING * A WATCHER DETERMINED TO POSSESS THEM.

What if the only path to freedom is to eternally enslave yourself?
With Mirah and Gabe both prepared to sacrifice their lives, how long before the Tablet of Destinies and reality collide?

But to rid the world of the Watchers and hybrid abominations enslaving mankind, they must first overcome a worse foe, the Shadow Beast, Mastema, who, once bound, has since escaped into their realm. His goal—retribution against the Watchers who betrayed him and humanity’s ultimate destruction.

Gabe has vowed to fulfil his calling and Mirah has sworn to keep those she loves alive, but with their closest allies dispersed across the seas, and their friends and enemies switching sides, who will pay the ultimate price when immortals and humans clash?

War is here. The final battle song has begun. It’s a song that will echo through eternity regardless of who has won.

A Song That Echoes is the epic finale of The Voice that Thunders series packed with myth, magic, and bloody vengeance.

Aaron’s no super soldier. He’s just a convict—a Capital criminal.

They gave him a lifetime sentence at thirteen years old, so that he could toil his remaining days in the Empire’s distant galactic colonies. But not every planet the Empire has colonized is empty.

Aaron doesn’t need cybernetics to hear the big beasts battering away at the colony wall. These creatures dig day and night, two tons of leather and bone sending violent tremors through the dry soil. They’re coming, they’re coordinated, vicious and relentless.

Even all of the technology, weapons, and super soldiers can’t beat politics. Orders down for the colony garrison to depart, leaving them to the vengeful whims of their alien host. So the clever commander comes up with an idea. They may not be soldiers, but the Capital convicts are strong, united, and just desperate enough. They offer Aaron and his friends a devil’s bargain:

Esther and Noah Lysander are the twin children of General Ryck Lysander, Commandant of the Marine Corps, leader of the Evolution, and Chairman of the Federation. When they are told that their father and mother have been assassinated, they are both devastated. Cut adrift, they each decide to enlist in the Corps—but for different reasons. Esther feels it is her duty to carry on the family legacy, confident that she can excel and reach the top. Noah simply wants to earn his father’s pride, even if it is too late.

As children of General Lysander, they are not “normal” recruits. Seniors and peers are well aware of their background, and the twins can’t escape the public eye. From under their father’s heavy shadow, the two have to discover his or her personal path in the Corps, even when that seems to pull them apart from each other.

Corporal David Cohen thought he’d left war behind.

He was wrong.

The Terran Coalition faces repeated and brutal attacks from the repressive League of Sol. To defend his home planet, David trades his dream of becoming a rabbi for a battlefront in the far reaches of space. When particle beams fly, his courage under fire brings quick promotion. But in the lulls between battles when he must confront his soul, David finds a different enemy: the ghosts of those killed under his command.

Yet in war, it’s kill or be killed—and the enemy shows no mercy.
