In war, mistakes kill. Earth's fleet has just made the biggest one ever. The alien race's sacred relic, destroyed by a misfire.... Will humanity fall?

With zombie hordes swallowing the earth, mankind had no choice except to launch every nuke on the planet to stop them. Now, 150 years later, we live in over-crowded polluted cities, surrounded by vast radioactive wastelands. And no, we did not get all the zombies. They live among us, sometimes hiding in plain sight. Although the tattoos and piercings help them blend in, and the drugs help to contain their rage, they can never fully control their hunger. It’s endless.

Cobb wanted a simple life. He wanted excellent steaks, great coffee, friends, and a quiet place to restore his favorite ship. Working for a recovery operation turned out to be the best place to find parts cheap. She had other plans for him.

Live the lie; fight to the death; become a Handler. It's the only way.

The Hades Galaxy is so far from Earth, its light hasn’t even reached our most powerful telescopes. It’s a strange place - familiar, yet different. It’s also inhabited. Or it used to be. So how did Paul Johnson get from his grandpa’s ranch in Montana to the shores of alien waters in a distant galaxy? How did he and millions of colonists become trapped there, with no hope of ever returning home? He did what men throughout history have done: he chased after a beautiful woman. And he got her. Sort of.

The year is 2635, the people of Earth live in a tech-free utopia. Captain Alma Johnson is one of the few permitted to use technology as part of the human fleet. In a starship that has been rebuilt more than a dozen times, she faithfully protects humanity’s holdings in the solar system overpopulated with aggressive aliens and marauding pirates. Now she finds herself on a doomed mission that she’s been set up for from the very beginning.

Cloudan Coustre isn't the driving force to save humanity, the universe, or even the kitten stuck in his neighbor's tree. He isn't a father, brother, spouse, nor significant other to anyone. When it comes right down to it, Cloudan Coustre isn't even alive. What is he then? He is the embodiment of death, this day and age's version of the Grim Reaper. Mr. Coustre is fed up with life as death, but what is a deity in middle management to do to effect change? More importantly, what happens when he figures that out?

It’s finally time to end the danger. Time to take the war to the aliens. But is it a trap? Captain Anderson Cross and Commander Kate Flynn scored a win. But now it’s time to secure that victory. Naturally, the enemy has a different idea. Cross and Kate know they will be separated again. They know their dreams are on hold until they can find a solution to the aliens’ holy war. Civilians are in danger, and the human forces must make a choice. Do they defend their people, or do they strike at the homeworld of the alien force? Either way, the risks are immense.

Commander Anderson Cross can only watch as Kate departs to find something - anything - that can stem the tide of the Xroeshyn holy war before it reaches Earth. His own ship is held together by hasty repairs and good thoughts. He imagines this is the worst moment of the entire war. He has never been more wrong. The aliens are ready to strike at the soft underbelly of the human fleet. The aliens have found the way to Earth. It will take all that Cross and his crew can give to delay the enemy in hopes of Kate’s arrival.

The aliens have a new mandate: kill every human, everywhere. Commanders Anderson Cross and Kate Flynn are separated as a second front opens in the aliens’ holy war. Not content only to kill humans in space, the aliens take the battle to the surface. Cross must stay with his crew in space while Flynn takes the lead on the ground. Each knows they are weaker apart. Each knows they must do all they can to save the colonists from the war Cross’s actions sparked. They are outnumbered and outgunned on both fronts.
