When the going gets tough, Sheriff Duke gets tougher. He’ll have to if he’s going to survive long enough to see justice done. The monsters infecting the forgotten Earth don’t sleep, and neither can he. There’s no time to rest. There’s no time to recover. The clock is ticking, the stakes are rising, and if he fails it’ll be more than his wife and child that are caught in the fallout. It’ll be the whole world.

As war rages and the enemy’s sigilships systematically trample any opposition in their path, Ben, Matt, and the crew of Head Case embark on a desperate, last-ditch effort to stop Sedaya for good. With the fate of the galaxy at stake, will they rise to the challenge…

Series finale! The universe is on the brink of disaster, and the fate of the galaxy rests on Queenie and her Rejects. Too bad they're stuck in enemy territory light years from home. Too bad their ride was stolen. Too bad Satan is the one who took it. Too bad for the bad guys, that is. All rise for the queen!

If Ben wants to prevent Duke Sedaya from gaining an iron grip on the Hegemony, his only hope lies in locating the missing Prince Hiro. Of course, it won’t be easy. And even if Ben can find him, it may already be too late.

On an Earth decimated by war, a lone gunslinger delivers justice, protecting the innocent and righting the wrongs of a broken world. Some call him lawman. Some call him madman. Some call him vigilante. Some call him killer. Some call him legend.

A menacing wasteland. A destructive new weapon. A planet on the edge of catastrophe. Sheriff Duke can’t rest. There’s no time to slow down. The threats are unending. The enemy unyielding. If he wants to stop the apocalypse, he’ll have to cross a treacherous wasteland where the cannibals and murderers are the least of his worries, and the creatures infesting the landscape aren’t the most dangerous thing in his path. The race is on, the doomsday clock is counting down, and if he fails it will be more than his wife and child that are caught in the fallout. It’ll be the world.

The Deliverance has arrived. The planet is beautiful, lush, teeming with life and perfectly suited to the colony’s needs. It should be a paradise. Instead, it’s a nightmare. Caleb knows the truth. The ship’s real mission has nothing to do with settlement. The plan is much more sinister than that. Now the race is on to prepare for the coming storm, to secure the colony, and find the enemy before the enemy finds them.

The enemy marches on. While hope is fading, all is not lost. Grayson has information that could change the outcome of the war. He's beaten but not broken and ready to rejoin the fight. Except, his failing starship is weeks away from the nearest port. Except, slowing the aliens means convincing sworn enemies to join forces in a fight they cannot win. Except, his only chance at victory may rest in a derelict ship floating beyond the edge of space.

Events on Naraka leave Grayson exhausted but hopeful. The invaders may not be as unstoppable as he thought, and the entire weight of the Alliance is about to enter the fray. Rejoining the Navy should bring closure to his ordeal and allow him to return to his life as a pilot. Except his mesh partner is still stranded on a freezing planet. Except his past refuses to let go of his future. Except the man he trusted to rally the defenses may have sabotaged them instead.

Captain Mitchell "Ares" Williams is a space marine and the hero of the Battle for Liberty whose shot heard 'round the universe saved the planet from a nearly unstoppable war machine. He's handsome, charismatic, and the perfect poster boy to help the military drive enlistment. Pulled from the war and thrown into the spotlight, he's as efficient at charming the media and bedding beautiful celebrities as he was at shooting down enemy starfighters.

Alliance Navy Commander Grayson Stone is a prisoner. His encounter with the alien invaders is behind him, a reckoning years in the making ahead. War in the galaxy is about to explode in a way he never imagined. The fate of humankind rests on a razor’s edge. He won’t remain idle. One way or another, he’s determined to escape. To send warning of the imminent assault and sound the call to this new war.

Alliance Navy Commander Grayson Stone is patrolling a nearby space station, when a mysterious starship appears. It emerges from a storm of fire, its shields impenetrable, its weapons overwhelming, attacking without provocation and annihilating everything in its path.

Suddenly trapped behind the front line of the invasion and faced with gut-wrenching choices and near-impossible odds, he'll do whatever it takes to escape the grasp of the terrifying new enemy.

Ben used to dream about being famous. He didn’t expect to wind up infamous instead. Now he’s stuck in the middle of the most grotesque contest in the galaxy, racing against time and some of the most dangerous and deranged psychopaths in the Spiral to rescue his crew from a bloody battle royale.

An ancient starship discovered... An eternal enemy revealed... An impossible mission to save humankind. The Goliath has been discovered, the first of its secrets revealed. Now the race is on for Captain Mitchell Williams and his crew to return to Liberty and recover Origin's lost memories before the enemy can complete their violent conquest. It's a mission with a near-zero chance of success. A mission that only the Riggers would be crazy enough to accept - and skilled enough to survive.

Major Katherine "Peregrine" Asher of the United Earth Alliance has never heard of the Tetron. As the pilot in charge of guiding Earth's first interstellar starship into space, she has enough to think about already. But when a standard meet-and-greet with the global elite goes sideways, Katherine finds herself front and center in a war she has never heard of and doesn't understand. A war where the enemy can be anyone, and her only hope of survival rests on finding a soldier who doesn't exist.

After barely making it out of their latest task alive, Noah, Ben, and the rest of Head Case’s crew are ready for a break. The Warden has other ideas. He orders them to another random planet to complete another random task, and while it’s easier than the one they just finished, it’s not going to get them any closer to going home. But things have changed. Armed with new capabilities, the team hatches a plan to both satisfy the Warden and make their first move to break free of his grip. When new revelations spiral into a deal with the devil, it may cost Noah much more than his soul…

Colonel Mitchell "Ares" Williams has never been one to accept failure. While the outcome on Liberty is a crushing setback to his and the Riggers' chances of salvaging the war, there's no time to waste on regret. After all, the mission wasn't a total loss, delivering an unexpected asset in the wake of their defeat - Liun Tio, aka the Knife, a notorious warlord and enemy of the Alliance whose deep-seated mistrust of artificial intelligence and control over what may be the largest free fleet in the galaxy have made him the most important man alive.

Hayley Cage never expected to find herself running jobs with one of the toughest mercenary units working the galaxy's edge. But then, life doesn't always go as planned.

A mission that's about to go straight to hell. When a bad deal leads to a worse situation, Hayley and her squad find themselves fighting to survive against the most dangerous threat they've ever encountered.
