Dogs of Ore

In the cold void of the Belt, one man and his AI dogs stand against the stars—and an empire that wants to "harmonize" humanity out of existence. When unknown ships destroy a lone miner's rig and send a dying warning to Mike Stone, the quiet shepherd of drill-bots knows the solar system just changed forever. The Thrang have arrived—rigid, insectoid conquerors who impose perfect order on chaotic worlds. Earth falls fast. Mars follows. The Belt? It's next.

Mike never wanted to lead a rebellion. He just wanted to mine ore, keep his pack safe—Wiley's steady patience, Grease's reckless speed, Cato's quiet watchfulness—and listen to Lady Susquehanna's warm, river-valley voice. But when alien beams carve through human defenses and families fracture under occupation, loyalty demands more than survival.

From Kuiper shadows to Vesta's burning skies, Mike and his unlikely family fight with improvised weapons, unbreakable bonds, and sheer mule-headed grit. The Thrang call it chaos. Mike calls it home.

In a galaxy that demands submission, one shepherd refuses to kneel. Fall in love with the Dogs of Ore series. Borrow or read free with Kindle Unlimited today.
