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.

Betray your family. Save your world.

Kara Syung has always lived a life of luxury and privilege among Hokkaido’s elite. Yet beneath the glitz and glamor, she senses a looming darkness. Not until her brother’s mysterious death and his final words to her – “They’re going to burn it all. Be a soldier.” – does Kara open her eyes.

Determined to seek justice for her brother and uncover the truth behind his death, Kara must navigate against powerful forces, including her own family and those who control the planet’s food supply. With only a few allies by her side – a lifelong best friend and servant, a ruthless immortal seeking vengeance, a renegade from a fallen empire, and a snub-nosed laser pistol – Kara’s time is running out. In seven days, she will be forced to marry a man she doesn’t love.

Does Kara have the strength to go against everything she has been taught and stand up for what is right? Will she be able to uncover the dark conspiracy that threatens not only Hokkaido, but the entire galactic sector? Join Kara on a wild journey through unexpected worlds as she faces desperate odds in the first installment of the galaxy-spanning nine-book series, Beyond the Impossible.

Expect insane twists and turns in a complex saga where nothing is what it seems, and the laws of time and space are flexible. For readers who love intricate mysteries, space opera on a grand scale, and the rise and fall of galactic empires.

Featured Science Fiction: Red Dust (Gods & Assassins Book 1) by Frank Kennedy

Fallen gods with a taste for murder. A criminal syndicate. A secretive desert town.

Ex-god Royal has a bone to pick with the human race. In his previous form, charismatic Royal and his surly partner Moon all but saved the forty worlds of the Collectorate from destruction. Their reward? Desert exile on Azteca to live as humans. No public gratitude. History rewritten.

Seriously. Doesn’t anyone respect a god?

Royal and Moon intend to leave their meager existence behind someday and recapture the old glory (random galactic chaos), but building an interstellar criminal network requires millions of credits. Assassinating the enemies of the Collectorate’s paranoid President pays well, yet the jobs are few.

Circumstance brings them to the tiny town of Desperido, where life – and a world of secrets – plays out beneath the desert’s red dust. Royal, ever the shape-shifting visionary (narcissist, some might say) conjures an exciting new path forward. First, the former deities will have to deal with enemies in their midst as well as the Horax, one of the planet’s most powerful criminal syndicates.

Prepare for a wild ride with a healthy dose of snark in the opening stanza of a five-book serial, “Gods and Assassins.” Pistols draw, rifles blast, traitors abound, conspiracies arise, wormholes open, and whiskey flows.

Fragile peace. Murder at the heart of an empire.

Deputy Trevor Stallion survived an interstellar war, found love, a good job, and a chance to overcome a tarnished family legacy. For what? To pass down a crippling genetic disease to his little girl, to see his wife turn to another man, to almost lose the only job that ever mattered.

At 35, the so-called “Forever Deputy’ tries to salvage his crumbling life aboard the massive Amity Station, heart of the forty-world People’s Collectorate. This three-sector city in space houses the Interstellar Congress and leads the way in scientific and technological advances. Built in the wake of war to unify humanity, Amity Station provides a beacon of hope as dark tidings spread across the galaxy.

When a school-age resident with a brilliant mind dies from an overdose of the deadly drug Motif, which is ravaging member worlds, Trevor and his reluctant partner investigate. The mystery sends Trevor into dangerous territory which may unearth a presence no one on Amity foresaw.

Will Trevor bend his principles in search of the truth, all while dealing with his beloved daughter’s struggling health, his brother’s wayward behavior, and the resistance of his superiors? How will fate steal his joy this time? And is anyone on Amity safe?

Quiet War is the opening stanza in the five-book saga of an empire on the brink, threatened by rising enemies – seen and unseen. Fans of Babylon 5 and anyone who loves solving a mystery will be captivated by this series.
