Buy a planet and disappear.... That's all Cole wanted. He spent 13 years hiding on the fringes of society, piloting freighters for criminals and building a stash to do just that. But life happens when you're busy making plans....

Alex spends his days learning to manage the family sheep ranch. He wants nothing more than to take over when his parents retire, because his family has owned and worked it since the Westward Expansion.

Jake continues to struggle with mastering his power. The secret seems elusive. But the solution is frighteningly simple. Mister Cato is a relic of the past who has adapted to the modern world. He watches a young man who must claim a place in the global society.

Claim an inheritance. It's a simple goal, right? Nothing is simple when Cole returns to Centauri, the seat of Coleson Interstellar Engineering. Challenges at every turn, with no idea who he can trust. And then...the Solar Republic gets involved....

Nothing is ever easy...Tensions rise as the Coalition pursues its war of conquest. Who will be their next target? The Provisional Parliament in the old Commonwealth sinks deeper into fascism as people flee their worlds in droves....

Lynxeen. It's one of the Confederation's younger colonies and an idyllic world... As long as its weather control system functions. When that necessary system fails without warning, the Confederation calls the Shepherd and his team to oversee the relief convoys' escorts.

Nevask Shipping handles over one-third of the Confederation’s cargoes. It is a family company dating back to the earliest days of commercial spaceflight. It has a problem. A major problem. Persons unknown routinely raid Nevask shipments. Very specific shipments.

His mind raced...as he lay in the alley. Why was he there? Gavin knew two things - his name and he was wearing a tunic and pants. From beyond the alley, hustling city sounds were unfamiliar. The warmth of the sun on his neck and its position in the sky suggests it was mid-morning....

An ancient fortress filled with undead. An old alliance, renewed but untested. A confrontation centuries in the making....

Gianna is a young novice in one of Earth's oldest secret societies. She faces a nigh-impossible task: search the Archives for references to the recent Blood Moon....

The Haven Protectorate continues to chip away at the Coalition's holdings through guile and subterfuge. Cole doesn't want an all-out war. Beta Magellan isn't ready. But when a group of unknown ships attacks the far side of the Coalition, Cole must shift priorities....

Just because Gavin's goal is simple, doesn't mean it's easy! His friend's home is Vushaar, the world's oldest monarchy and a land fractured by civil war. Slaver parties roam the countryside at will, claiming any they desire for their vile trade, and a great army lays siege to the capital.
