Ancient secrets may be the way forward…

Tarans have reached a tentative peace with the Erebus. While politicians on Tararia address the political ramifications of the new alliance, Jason and the rest of the TSS refocus their efforts on defense.

The Erebus are after something. It’s unclear what, but Jason is convinced they can’t be trusted. The Aesir’s data archive may hold the key to an effective defense, except keeping anything from the Erebus and their seemingly omnipotent abilities will put the fragile Taran Empire in even greater danger.

Fearing for the Empire’s security, the TSS implements a covert plan to upgrade the fortifications across the Taran worlds using ancient technology that has long been buried. Only, those secrets were locked away for a reason, and reopening the archives will initiate a conflict no one is prepared to fight.

Empire Uprising is the second installment of the Taran Empire Saga set in the Cadicle Universe, perfect for fans of epic sci-fi featuring sprawling galactic empires, drama, intrigue, and psionic abilities. Continue the adventure today!

Break the treaty, be destroyed.
We forgot.
Now we pay the price.

Jason Sietinen lives in the shadow of greatness. He’s worked hard to become a TSS officer in his own right, but having war heroes for parents is hard to top.

With the future of the Empire hanging in the balance, Jason must find a way to unite the Taran worlds, including the lost colony of Earth, against the mounting threat. There’s just one problem: how do you fight an enemy you can’t see or touch?

Freedom comes at a price…

After one too many run-ins with his superiors, TSS Agent Joe Anderson is relegated to the Taran Empire’s outer colonies to run undercover surveillance. The assignment seems tedious until Joe makes his way onto a newly leased cargo ship with Captain Iza Sundari.

Unfortunately for Iza, Joe, and the rest of the crew, the ship’s former owner wants it back. As they try to stay one step ahead, the crew is forced to walk the fine line between survival and legality, with Joe torn between maintaining his cover and staying true to his oaths as a TSS Agent.

Joe soon learns that life in the outer colonies isn’t what he’d been told in the TSS, and powerful players could threaten everything that the Taran Empire holds dear. An ancient, mysterious artifact seems to be at the center of their plans, and it’s on board Iza’s ship. With dangerous forces closing in, Joe puts his career on the line to protect Iza and her crew in their fight for freedom.

Sometimes the past is best left buried.

Breaking the rules got Joe Anderson kicked out of the TSS and shipped back to his primitive home planet, Earth. Captain Iza Sundari is left on the Verity, struggling to keep the crew together.
