A political murder, a dangerous alien dictator, a young, inexperienced diplomat.

“I have been reading SCIFI for about 35 years. The Ambassador series is my latest new addiction. I have read the series pretty much non stop.”

Cory is the first person from Earth appointed observer at Gamra, the alien organisation that monitors the FTL travel network. He’s had years of training in alien customs and languages…

… all wiped out the instant President Sirkonen is murdered by an alien entity.

Borders close, military goes on alert, the many aliens living on Earth are considered enemies, and Cory is recalled.

Except he is stuck in the Gamra capital Barresh, and he has some information that may reveal who killed the president, information that requires him to confront the most powerful man at Gamra, from a society where merely looking into the eye of a superior can get you murdered.

Start your Ambassador adventure today.

As a phoenix, I’m used to burning hot and rising from the ashes. That’s why I chose to make my living as a world-class thief. Some say it’s dangerous. I call it fun.

Or it is until someone beats me to my latest mark, stealing the prize and killing a fae duke in the process. To add insult to injury, I get blamed for the gruesome murder.

With my freedom on the line, I’ve got three options.

One, confess my failure and spend a few centuries as the caged pet of my sadistic, bloodsucking client. Nope.

Two, take the blame and let the hotter-than-hell grim reaper take me to jail. Also a hard nope, unless he sweetens the deal with an offer to burn up the sheets.

Is it any wonder I choose door number three? I’ve got to find the real killer, steal back the goods, and remind everyone how I got my reputation as the world’s best “acquirer” in the first place.

There’s just one problem. That sexier-than-sin grim reaper I mentioned?

He’s determined to see me go down.
