As the crew of the Starship Interchange has now learned, when the AI you've been mistreating for centuries turns out to be something else entirely, it can lead to some tense interactions in the mess. With Earth wiped out, and half her crew gone, the Interchange limps toward Sirius—the Dog Star, which aliens call the Beacon. There, Captain Seemey, Sergeant Morgan, and the remnants of their crew are pulled into what promises to be the war to end all wars. A dark force has all but taken over, and galactic powers are fighting over what's left.

In space everyone can hear you sing. A century ago, intelligent space-faring life was nearly destroyed during the Sentience Wars. To bring the shattered worlds together in the spirit of peace, unity and understanding, the Metagalactic Grand Prix was created. Part concert, part contest, all extravaganza, species far and wide gather to compete in feats of song, dance and/or whatever facsimile of these can be performed by various creatures who may or may not possess, in the traditional sense, feet, mouths, larynxes or faces. 

The Emperor's daughters are coming to the Frontier... with an illegally seized warfleet for unknown purposes. They are raiding for supplies, or receiving them from sympathizers as they cut a path across the Empire encouraging all who will listen to rise up and overthrow their father.

The first three Starsea Cycle books bundled together. Science got us to space. Magic got us to the stars. The discovery of the Gates opened the stars to humanity—and awakened the Manifold, a force that gave certain people the power to command nature itself. These mages could ignite infernos, reshape matter, move objects with their minds, and even bend the wills of others. But every mage eventually begins to Fray. After their powers nearly destroyed civilization in the Mage War, the League of Worlds took control.

Jack Reilly's luck ran out just before the war did. Resigning his commission in the Alliance shortly after the end of the war with the Serkins, he went out into the galaxy looking for a job.

And that's just book one. Follow Lt. Jack Reilly and his partner, Major Mitchel, through their adventures.

The discovery of an ancient alien pyramid buried under the ice in Antarctica changes Earth forever. We learn that we are the forgotten slaves of a galaxy spanning empire called the V'kit'no'sat who abandoned our planet 100,000 years ago during a massive rebellion. Our ancestors, the Zen'zat, were given special genetic powers and ordered never to reproduce under pain of death...for themselves and their offspring. That means Earth's entire population is illegal and if the V'kit'no'sat return to reclaim their lost border colony they'll wipe out every last one of us.

And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

In another galaxy, far, far away from Earth, an evil Empire controls 3/4ths of the star systems and yearns for more. Those regions not under their control have either traded obedience for their sovereignty, are too wild to tame, or too dangerous for Imperial troops to tread upon.

Countless commanders and fleets have been sent to pacify and annex it into the Empire. All have failed.
