Galvin Quintos has agreed to enter into a competition that will keep Aubrey Laramie’s family from going into financial ruin. The catch? Most competitors don't survive. Racing against corporate killers, bloodthirsty aliens, and mysterious competitors through deadly obstacle courses and mechanical death traps, Quintos must navigate not just the perils of space but the complex loyalties of a crew caught between duty and desperation.

The financial and economic crisis is over, and the Lunar Free State is beginning to pull out of the recession it suffered competing with the Confederated Nations over the Xanadu colonies. Now, however, the LFS is indebted to the CNE, and the new Lunar government is gradually falling under CNE’s influence. In a few years, the LFS will become just another puppet state under the CNE banner.

Captain Galvin Quintos, along with the love of his life, XO Gail Pristy, thought retirement meant a fresh start together within the Colorado wilderness—not being pulled into the latest galactic conspiracy by EUNF High Command.

The alien race Akara have a secret; they've discovered the location of a planet that is home to a primitive human civilization, another ancient “seeding" of the legendary Progenitors. But, this planet lies in the territory of the Otuka, spacefaring alien predators who consider human flesh to be a delicacy and the planet to be their private hunting preserve. Unwilling to confront the Otuka, the Akara have passed the problem on to their human allies, the Lunar Free State. Now, the LFS needs to decide what to do about it.

It’s been ten years since the Lunar Free State established itself on Earth’s moon. Since then, other Earth nations have pushed into space, but - thanks to the advantages provided by its gravity-driven spacecraft - the LFS has continued to prosper. When the research ship LFS Stephen Hawking encounters an alien probe near Saturn, though, the craft leads Hawking on a chase before vanishing into hyperspace. Now the Lunar Free State must face two facts: The humans of Earth are not the only intelligent life in the universe, and travel to other star systems is possible.

A committee of creditors hires 3J, one of whom is the leader of a White Nationalist organization on the government’s domestic terrorist list. When the member realizes he will not get paid back everything he is owed, he blames 3J, a Black attorney, and opposing counsel, a Jewish attorney.

Lorna Greenwood is back, and she’s been given a new command. Well, maybe “new” isn’t the right word. LFS Werewolf is one of the oldest ships in the Lunar Fleet.

Nonetheless, Lorna is proud of her and is determined to whip her green crew into shape for the mission ahead.

She’s looking to get some payback for her last trip there eight years ago, which didn’t end well.

Ian Stevens, director of the Deep Space Research Institute, isn’t interested in conducting research just for the sake of research. While the rest of the world - including the US Government - thinks that’s the DSRI’s sole mission, Stevens is actually interested in more - he wants manned space travel and the colonization of the moon. With NASA defunct, few scientific probes are being launched, and no one even talks about human spaceflight anymore. Stevens is out to change that.

Kansas City attorney Josephina Jillian Jones, 3J to her friends, has dealt with people perpetrating online disinformation, white supremacists, and clients hiding assets, so when a couple who heads up a company that builds inner city housing for marginalized communities comes to her for legal help because their longtime banking partner has shut off their funding, the case appears at first blush to be tame by comparison. But when the bank president disappears and his greed-driven brother seems the likely culprit, things heat up.

When she crashes a stolen car into a frigid lake, Mary is rescued from Death by a man with a gift of his own.

Eli wakes up far from Earth and is promptly thrown into the magical prison world of Lurra, with superpowered humans who don’t even know they’re inmates. If that wasn’t bad enough, the experimental implant in his head is malfunctioning, causing all sorts of problems, and the closest neurosurgeons might as well be a universe away. Thankfully, Eli has some new powers of his own, which he’ll need to defeat the many psychos, assassins, and monsters crossing his path.

Admiral Robert O’Hara once commanded the Lunar Free State’s fleet, but he’s finding that leading the nation as Chief Executive requires different skills, as well as an entirely different mindset.

At least, that’s what they tell the Lunar Free State’s contact team.
