The allies could sneak a fleet behind enemy lines and destroy the infrastructure the Overlords were using to push them to the brink of existence. As long as the allied fleet didn’t get trapped and obliterated, everything would be great. But they got trapped and obliterated.

Dalton Thorne never asked to be the chosen one. He was just a cargo hauler trying to make a living. Now he's stuck saving humanity whether he likes it or not. Little Earth is finally free from the Consortium's iron grip, but the celebration is short-lived. A mysterious and powerful faction called the Chi Hunters has swept in to fill the void, and they've got grand designs for the galaxy—with Dalton as their unwilling pawn. When a long-hidden fragment of Earth is discovered, Dalton and the crew of the Iron Horse are dispatched on a mission to unite it with Little Earth.

James Sutton was an average guy—he couldn’t afford college and didn’t really know what he wanted to do with his life. But when his sister Holly goes missing, he finds out he’s been living in a fantasy: An alien really did land in Roswell and the US has had a secret alliance with them ever since. They are symbiotes—capable of bonding with hosts, enhancing their strength, agility, and stamina. Now mankind finds itself in the middle of an alien civil war between two symbiote factions—those who would be our allies…and those who would subjugate us into slavery.

Kainos is not the planet Exodus Ark colonists thought it would be. It is inhabited by the Volcuri, a once-thriving race that fell victim to the First and now fights for its very survival. With the Ark unable to travel, its people have no choice but to stay and ally themselves with the Volcuri...or risk certain death. Kent and his team must return to the surface and embark on a new mission: Find a way to defeat the Turned, and stop the First from taking them all prisoner as mind-controlled slaves.

The attrition during recruit training can reach ninety percent for those who pass the initial tryout. Still on the move and in search of answers that could doom the Alliance of Planets, Benjamin Wrath and his APOP crew must scrape up candidates from the villainous, disreputable spaceports along the way.

Two framed soldiers turned Liberators, an unhinged Vice-Admiral with mass murder on his mind, and a new rebellion. After deserting the Sarkonian Empire and stealing one of their best stealth ships, Alyss Cortez and Farah Shahi knew it would be like this. Always looking over their shoulder for a far-reaching enemy. But they aren't running or hiding. Instead, the pair are accepting search and rescue jobs and planning to take down Vice-Admiral-Kaska, antimission by antimission. Except that they didn't expect things to go so wrong.

Following a bloody escape from the clutches of their corporate enslavers, and aided by their new allies, the android race who refer to themselves as the Deimers, the Genesians arrive at a temporary safe haven. Once there, they quickly begin preparations to defend themselves against a galaxy that has now branded them as outcast, abomination, and pariah. Soon after the Genesians publicly declare their rights as free and independent beings, they are viciously attacked.

After the majority of his body is destroyed during a high-risk operation, Aiden Thorn is subjected to an experimental, potentially lifesaving procedure… one he never tacitly agreed to undergo. With no choice but to see the unorthodox new process through, he accepts his fate and works to adapt to his new life. But when an intergalactic corporation steps in and essentially claims ownership of Aiden and everyone like him, he is forced to do the two things he does best… survive, and fight.

With war afoot, James Sutton and Will Johnson are tasked with chasing down the Cowlee stealth ship that has the coordinates to Earth. If the ship makes it back to the Cowlees’ home world, life as we know it will end. Meanwhile, Holly Sutton is ready to attempt the jungle warfare school on Salchan. But when it doesn’t go as planned, she’ll be lucky to escape the swamps with her life.

The Unity Marine Corps is fighting the most brutal war in human history—and they're losing. Facing an implacable enemy that will stop at nothing short of total conquest, an ugly truth comes to light in battle after battle. Without more Marines, humanity will lose the war. Cullen's plan to recruit civilians from his athletic academies, train them, equip them, and strike back at the enemy is greenlit by Unity Command.

The Sutton siblings have pulled off the unthinkable—they defeated a Cowlee force led by one of the princes and returned with more forces than Terra previously had at its disposal. But the Cowlee fleet remains in the Sirius system, unsuspecting, waiting for the return of a prince who will never be back, and the Suttons have an idea on how to make the fleet their own. With very little to lose and everything to gain, the general authorizes their plan, hoping to gain an edge they desperately need over the alien Cowlees.

Although Will Johnson and the Sutton siblings didn't gain as big an edge as they had hoped by attacking the Cowlee fleet in the Salchan system, they successfully captured an enemy cruiser and returned with a new ally in their fight against the Cowlees. They also returned with an opportunity—having destroyed most of the enemy battle station in the Shirgan system, the way was open into Cowlee territory, where a blitzkrieg attack might throw the Cowlees off balance and keep them away from Earth for a while longer.

But the Legastians don’t know fear, and they were already beating the Overlords. Will the addition of the AIs help or hinder the alliance? The fighting at Surrapsis has shown the Legastians are willing to do whatever it takes—including kamikaze attacks—when necessary to win a battle. And, with only a little head start, they can quickly get a toehold on a planet that is both hard and costly to eradicate.

Once there, he discovers that humanity has enlisted the aid of a ruthless military leader, one whose harsh and unrelenting tactics could threaten the Genesians’ very existence.

A war is coming. The Solaris Initiative is gaining ground, and more supporters join the rebellion every day, but the Sarkonian Empire has major cards left to play. Alyss Cortez, soldier turned rebel, embarks on her most dangerous mission ever: infiltrating an ultra-elite military black site that holds the key to crippling the enemy. With no backup, memory, or clothes, she’ll have to use her wits to survive and stop a madman from taking control of the government.

When Jace Hughes accepts a job to capture and transport a wanted criminal, he doesn’t expect any problems. But when a family of smugglers assassinate his mark right before his eyes, he’s left to pick up the pieces and salvage what he can of the job. Unfortunately, the real trouble has only just begun. Turns out, the mark has powerful family, and they just happen to be the galaxy’s most famous Renegade. Now, Jace is forced to face off against one of his own in a battle for his life, but our boy didn’t come this far to get gunned down and fail.

The recon by fire mission seemed like a good idea, but things immediately went sideways when the Terran fleet attacked the picket cruiser waiting for them in the first system. The advance then stalled completely when their returning fighters were captured by the Cowlees. Forced to focus on the Shirgan system rather than continuing on toward the Cowlee homeworld of Gsstow, the Terran fleet—barely—survived a string of pyrrhic victories as it sought to enforce its will.
