From USA Today bestselling author Robert D. Armstrong comes the complete series, A World Apart.
 
She crossed the stars to put the war behind her.

For veteran fighter pilot Captain Victoria Belic, the Kelton Wars on Earth were over. She had earned the callsign Lioness in humanity’s last stand against the machines. By the end, the enemy knew her name.

But victory left scars. Victoria tried to bury the Lioness with the ghosts of everyone she could not save.

Then came the chance to colonize a new world. A chance to leave the wreckage of Earth behind and help build something better. 

When Victoria woke, she was on a world she did not recognize, and her reputation had beaten her there. And now, the machines that destroyed Earth were coming for them next.

But the machines made one critical error:
They came for the last pride of humanity.
And woke its Lioness.

Altin Meade is a sorcerer with a curse. Seeking to avoid a looming doom, he sets his magical sights on the stars—a quest that will likely bring about the very consequence he’s seeking to escape.

Far across the galaxy, Ensign Orli Pewter of planet Earth has a looming doom of her own—one of loneliness, depression and, worse, a race of genocidal aliens known as “Hostiles” seeking to destroy humanity. Trapped aboard a spaceship she never asked to be upon, Orli is in a fight for both her life and her sanity.

Worlds apart, Altin and Orli share a destiny, but neither knows the other is alive. The Hostiles know. And they have other plans.

An action-packed military sci-fi space opera for fans of Battlestar Galactica, Galaxy’s Edge, and Star Trek: Section 31.

The Sa’Nerra were close to defeat — then everything changed. Armed with a neural weapon, the alien warriors turned humanity’s own Fleet against itself. Entire warships went rogue. Suspicion and fear spread like wildfire.

Surrender seemed like the only option.

Captain Lucas Sterling knows the truth. In the fight against the Sa’Nerra, there’s only victory or death.

Sterling is an Omega Captain, forged in a brutal trial of grit and sacrifice. Backed by an AI-powered warship and an elite crew, he’ll stop at nothing to prevent the fall of Earth — even if it means sacrificing the people he loves.

To save everything he swore to protect, he must risk his ship, his crew, and his very soul. Because against an enemy that despises mankind, only a commander as ruthless as the foe he faces can be victorious.

From Kindle Storyteller Award Winner G J Ogden, The Emissary is Book 1 of 12 in the Omega Taskforce series — a high-octane, galaxy-spanning space opera full of elite special ops, high-stakes alien warfare, devastating fleet battles, and mystery-fueled military drama.

If you love fleet warfare, ruthless alien invaders, AI warships, and high-tech combat, you’ll binge read this epic sci-fi saga.

Exoneration isn’t easy.

On her eighteenth birthday, Princess Eliana is ordered to enter the underworld—and wake a prince cursed to sleep for a hundred years.

She was raised to rule with diplomacy and magic, not to survive a realm overrun by monsters. But the curse binding the prince comes with a deadly condition: only the heir of Ymittos can break it.

If Eliana refuses, the consequences won’t stop at one life.

Because far below the surface, something far worse is stirring.

A sorcerer banished a thousand years ago has spent centuries preparing his return—gathering power, building armies, and laying a trap that begins with the curse Eliana has been sent to break.

Now, she must descend into darkness, outwit an enemy who has planned for centuries… and survive long enough to stop an invasion before it begins.

Because breaking the curse isn’t the end of the story. It’s the beginning.

A reimagined Sleeping Beauty with a deadly twist, The Girl Who Broke the Dark is the first volume of the Royal Mages series.

Editor’s Note: I loved this entire series!

Come for the coffee, stay for the supernatural adventure. There’s more than one way to catch a ghost, and it’s never been this fun!

Katy and her grandmother have always used coffee to catch ghosts. It pays the bills and keeps them in high-end beans. But after her grandmother dies and a rival ghost hunter moves to town, Katy fears things will never be the same.

She’s right.

From a beguiling and charismatic ghost whisperer to her new partner’s ghost swallowing brother and even a (short) stint behind bars, Katy navigates her new reality, uncertain her skills are equal to the tasks at hand. But are these things mere distractions–or do they hide something darker, far more sinister, something that has a long-held vendetta against Katy?

To survive, Katy must uncover an ancient secret. She must brew her very best Kona blend. She will need to rely on unexpected and unpredictable allies.

To survive, she will need to trust what’s in her heart.

Episode 1: Ghost in the Coffee Machine
Episode 2: Giving Up the Ghosts
