After Dex Walsh rescued the Warrior-Medic Frida and the Battle-Marine Hiko, and they together saved a community of mutated beings from a sudden daemonorg attack, they’re now finally able to escape the filthy Prison-Lab. Having felt the daemonorgs’ macabre ingenuity and brutal power on their own bleeding bodies, Dex and his companions see only one solution to stopping these horrific beasts from devouring the entire planet.

Starting out from Deimos Station near Mars, Hudson and Liberty take the Orion to a new portal world. But Logan Griff, and mercenaries Cutler Wendell and Tory Bellona, are still chasing them. This time, Griff wants more than just their heads. He wants the secret to finding new portals, too. Captured and imprisoned, Liberty must use all her skills and wits to escape a life of service to the Council, the galaxy’s deadliest criminal gang. But she discovers an ally in the most unlikely place.

In the future, an artist specializing in historical records creates a piece of art based on three separate accounts of the pandemic. What follows is a patchwork tale of survival and horror as two lovers struggle to survive the undying dead and the collapse of an America turned charnel house. Told as memos from Ground Zero, and later in the journal of a dark tower-like quest by train and foot across a nightmare landscape of ruined cities and raving corpses, the three accounts reveal more than just the grim realities of society's collapse.

With Goliath continuing its rampage through the network of portal worlds, Hudson Powell and Tory Bellona go on with their search for Logan Griff and the crystal. But first they must embark on a final dangerous relic hunt inside a crashed alien wreck. After a cunning betrayal, Logan Griff finds himself running for his life, while murderous mercenary, Cutler Wendell, forges a new partnership. Meanwhile, Morphus and Liberty are en route back to Earth with a weapon to help defeat Goliath. But without the crystal the odds of victory are slim.

Still desperate to find Liberty Devan, Hudson Powell travels to a new portal world: Chrome One. Illegally claimed by the Relic Guardian Force, Hudson senses Logan Griff’s involvement. If he can find his scumbag former training officer then maybe he can find Liberty and the crystal too. Meanwhile, Morphus travels to a powerful alien relic called the Telescope in order to learn the location of Goliath. But without the alien crystal, stolen by Logan Griff, there is no hope of defeating the great ship.

The disaster at Terra Four has plunged the Union into a state of emergency. The government is losing control, powerless to stop the rise of Apophis, re-born God King of the Aternien Empire. Meanwhile, Cyrus Duvall’s Humans First movement continues to gain momentum. Acting decisively in humanity's hour of need, Duvall is seen as a savior. Millions flock to his cause, fracturing the people of the nine worlds in a time when unity is needed most.

The Union is on the verge of total collapse. Apophis, the Serpent God King of the Aternien Empire, stands ready to complete his mission and consume the remaining Union worlds, starting with Terra Prime - Earth. With no other option, the president declares his intention to surrender. But Apophis craves only destruction and revenge. Yet, deep beneath the desert sands of Egypt, hope sparks. The last Master Officers, led by Carter Rose and Carina Larsen, haven't given up.

In the aftermath of Operation Serpent, Master Commander Carina Larsen must face the consequences of her actions. Relieved of duty and separated from the Longsword Ascalon and her crew, she awaits her fate when disaster strikes. The devious plan masterminded by the Aternien Serpent God, Apophis, is coming to fruition, and the remaining planets of the Union are thrown into chaos and disarray.

Apophis, the reborn god-king of the Aternien Empire has unleashed the Neural Nexus, demonstrating its terrifying ability to destroy entire planets. General Carter Rose, along with Master Commander Carina Larsen and the crew of the Longsword Ascalon, are still reeling from the weapon’s apocalyptic power. Joining forces with the Old Aterniens is Carter’s best chance of formulating a defense, but Apophis is not his only problem. Any alliance with the Union’s old enemy is certain to draw the ire of Cyrus Duvall and his powerful Humans First movement.

A short novella sized compilation of five mixed short stories. The stories are a hodgepodge of humor, military science fiction, space opera, and fantasy.

With Morphus still absent on her mysterious expedition, a surprise request from an old ally sets the star scavengers on a path to developing a new weapon against Goliath. And it sees them doing what they do best–hunting for crystals of power inside alien wrecks.

Despite their best efforts to subdue Goliath, the superpowered alien AI continues to grow stronger and more lethal. Billions already lie dead across the galaxy as the entity works its way toward Earth, and the Star Scavengers are losing faith. All of their hopes now lie in finding another artificial entity–one that fought and defeated Goliath long before humanity was born.

After the cataclysmic events on Manticore Four, Star Scavengers Hudson and Tory return to Earth to plan their next move. The alien superbeing known as Goliath has returned, and the only way to stop its murderous rampage is to find the crystals of power before it does.

All pretenses of diplomacy have crumbled, and Concord is no longer considered neutral territory. The Imperator is coming, and he intends to reduce the station to dust, forcing Commander Reeves to order an emergency evacuation. But old enemies linger on in the background. Not only must Reeves contend with the Sa’Nerra, but a final showdown with the Lord of Night appears inevitable, and the crime kingpin will stop at nothing to get his revenge. Meanwhile, the Sa’Nerra have invaded Bastion Federation space with thousands of warships and near-unlimited reserves.

Finally possessing the ability to enter the Progenitors’ shadow realm, Commander Reeves and Major Kane embark on a daring mission into the heart of enemy territory. However, en route they must detour to the Quarr planet of Vroxxa, which is under Sa’Nerran occupation. There they will learn the true horrific purpose of the "atmosphere acclimators" the aliens have installed on dozens of worlds. They will also discover the sickening depth of the Sa’Nerran’s cruelty, forcing Reeves to again confront his dark side.

Having witnessed the seemingly unconquerable power of the Progenitors first hand, Commander Reeves and Major Kane have an opportunity to tilt the balance of war in their favor. And they intend to take it, no matter the risk or the cost. Despite the setback at the Progenitor world, Reeves is determined to find the "smoking gun" that proves the Sa’Nerra are acting under the influence of an ancient power. Only then can he unite the realms against their enemy. But in order to achieve this, Reeves must pierce the veil of Shadow Space and discover the true scale of the alien armada.

Tensions amongst the six realms are running high as the galaxy witnesses the overwhelming might of the Sa’Nerra armada. The Quarr race are facing defeat, and no one wants to be next. Desperate to find a way to unite the realms against the Sa’Nerra, Commander Reeves and his team take the warship Invictus on a quest to learn about the mysterious and ancient Progenitors—the puppet masters manipulating the war. With threats from the Sa’Nerran Imperator and the New Earth Movement looming over him at every turn, Reeves is still struggling to embrace his legacy.

A ruthless alien enemy has returned, but despite overtures of peace, Commander Dalton Reeves doesn’t believe a word that escapes their thin, slug-like lips. War is coming and in order to unite the six realms against a threat bigger than any faced in history, he must recover an ancient and famous warship.

With the unexpected release of the Daemonorg Colossus, Dex and his team face the biggest challenge yet as they tackle the seemingly impossible task of figuring out how to defeat a demon so huge it dwarfs even skyscrapers. With the army’s main operating base transformed into burning, smoking ruins, only one thing is clear: The Colossus must be stopped. Now. Before it destroys every Godmadrigan community on the planet.

Dex, Frida, Hiko, and Tasha successfully opened the Godmadrigan Army and the Celestial aliens up to forming an alliance against the Daemonorgs. Now they’re assigned the crucial mission of eliminating key parts of the daemons’ on-ground strongholds, since weakening the beasts’ parasitic grip on the planet is needed to enable their long-awaited defeat.
