Science Fiction Adventure War Space Opera

An advanced combat droid on the loose. Only one team to turn to. Standish and her team are long overdue for some R&R, but when a spaceship carrying enough droids to defend an entire planet vanishes, her team is brought into the fold and sent to investigate. With the fate of a whole planet hanging in the balance, the Prime team is deployed in search of the missing freighter and its deadly cargo, unsure of what caused its disappearance but aware that they could be up against a machine more lethal than any they’ve faced before.

It’s been seven years since the end of the Naxid War. Sidelined for their unorthodox tactics by a rigid, tradition-bound military establishment, Captain Gareth Martinez and Captain Lady Sula are stewing in exile, frustrated and impatient to exercise the effective and lethal skills they were born to use in fighting the enemy. Yet after the ramshackle empire left by the Shaa conquerors is shaken by a series of hammer blows that threaten the foundations of the commonwealth, the result is a war no one planned, no one expected, and no one knows how to end.

War rages in the Caradryad Sector. Worlds are falling to madness and rebellion, and the great war machine of the Imperium is moving to counter the threat. Amongst its agents is Inquisitor Covenant. Puritan, psyker, expert swordsman, he reserves an especial hatred for those of his order who would seek to harness the power of Ruin as a weapon. Summoned to an inquisitorial conclave, Covenant believes he has uncovered such a misguided agent and prepares to denounce the heretic Talicto before his fellows.

For millennia, the Weave, an alliance of species, have fought to resist the telepathic Amplitur, who strive to unite all self-aware life-forms in their great "Purpose." The Weave is slowly losing ground, but for both sides, warfare focuses more on outthinking and outmaneuvering your foe than destruction. In fact, most regard violence as hideously barbaric, and even the thought of harming another sentient being is beyond imagining.

The unprovoked war with a mysterious alien race is going badly. Minor tactical victories are offset by major strategic setbacks. The aliens know where all Human-occupied worlds are while their own worlds are still unknown. Victor Shiloh's unpredictable precognitive visions are the only thing that is slowing the alien onslaught. Not content with gradually pushing Humanity back, Shiloh's vision reveals a massive attack on Earth that will have terrible consequences.

Six hundred years in the future… Mankind has spread out in the galaxy in many different polities. And then we met the aliens. They’re not “from around here.” In fact, they’re from another universe. They don’t like humans. They don’t like competition. They have one rule: destroy. And they have. Twelve planets. Fifty-nine billion people. It’s time for payback. War Maid. Canaris Rift Book 5.

The Murkudahl come with a dire warning for humanity...

Heroic pilots must rely on their psychic gifts, archaic swordsmanship, and advanced combat training to survive deep space dogfights and bloody close quarters melee. They step up to defend the universe, and then come back to a harem of beautiful women, if they survive. Pretty good deal for a couple of top gun starfighter jocks. They've put down terrorist insurgents, gone kill for kill with mercenaries, and taken out drug dealing cartels. They even captured one of history's most notorious all female space pirate crews and added them to the harem on board Hard Rain. All of which means nothing ...

I’m 17 year-cycles old, female, feline Hoganthan and was on my journey to become an elite class space warrior. It is my life path and the one I chose. Actually, I’m thrilled with it - or, rather, was. . . I was THE princess of the monarchy, then disowned by my parents, then sentenced to death by my brother at the demand of the arrogant elites, then escaped the space pirates trying to kill me so that I could get to the Warrior Academy on Haden, just to have to deal with a really dumb invasion from space (what were the Cren thinking anyway?). But now? I’ve learned my parents and brother...
