A bad decision. An alien treasure. A mistake that could destroy the galaxy…

Hudson Powell is a freelance starship pilot with no prospects, but a hunger to prove himself. So, at thirty-eight years old, he decides to turn his life around and join the Relic Guardian Force as a rookie officer.

That was a huge mistake.

Established to police the alien hulks found on every portal world discovered in the last century, the RGF ensure relic hunters pay taxes on the priceless alien tech they scavenge.

The problem is that the RGF is corrupt, and its a-hole officers are even deadlier than the star scavengers who plunder the wrecks, seeking their fortune.

Fed up with his obnoxious training officer – the most unlikable man in the galaxy – Hudson quits and enters the exhilarating world of the relic hunters, where he meets the intoxicating and deadly mercenary Tory Bellona.

But the discovery of a mysterious crystal will set events in motion that cannot be undone. An alien power of planet-destroying force, lost and wandering for eons, is about to be awakened.

And Hudson is to blame.

People stopped asking where the alien wrecks had come from. People stopped asking who created the interstellar portals, and why.

Hudson will discover that some alien relics are best left buried.

Firefly meets Indiana Jones in this epic sci-fi action-adventure with a unique alien invasion twist. Combining Star Scavengers and Star Guardians, this epic ten-book set covers the complete voyages of relic hunter, Hudson Powell.

Humanity’s only hope is the commander they spurned.

Once, Master Commander Carter Rose was the Union’s secret weapon. An augmented, bio-engineered officer in command of the most powerful warship ever devised by human minds, Rose brought them victory against the post-human Aternien Empire.

Then they cast him aside.

A century later, living alone on a distant forest moon, feared and forsaken by the people he fought to save, Rose has grown bitter and resentful, while his superhuman body refuses to age.

When Major Carina Larsen seeks his help to save Earth from becoming the last frontier of humanity, Rose is reluctant to return to duty. Until Larsen reveals the real peril: the Aterniens are on the rise again, hell-bent on revenge.

And after a century of peace, the Union has forgotten how to fight.

But even if Rose can recover his marooned warship and assemble a crew, his allegiance is now a valuable commodity — and a secret weapon is only ever as dangerous as those who wield it…

Forsaken Commander is book #1 of the Aternien Wars series, an epic blend of space opera and militaristic sci-fi. Follow an elite crew of augmented officers as they fight a post-human enemy styled on the myths of ancient Egypt.
