A star-faring religious cult has created an army of robotic zealots designed to follow holy scripture. As the robotic menace spreads across the galaxy, it takes prisoners to be 'excommunicated': hooked into a neural simulation of eternal torment. Captain Rolland Barron leads the Sol Federation Starship Excalibur on a diplomatic mission. Cassia LaCroix is a wormhole hunter, earning a living scouring the galaxy for valuable tunnels through space-time. Prince Zoojin, a psychic alien from a distant galaxy, must prove himself worthy of the throne of Paxis Prime. The paths of these characters converge as they pursue their own motives, leading them towards the mechanical legion that is sweeping across the galaxy.

V.O.K. is written from the perspective of an Alpha, the universe's most skilled special operations soldiers, who act as the High Order's eyes and ears in every corner of the universe and when necessary, its unflinching reapers. LT, a stoic combat veteran and his sarcastic Sergeant, Bill, are engaged in a seemingly simple recon mission on the scorched surface of the now abandoned Earth. Upon discovering that they were once human and the history of their species, the Hemosapiens is a lie, the very people they're meant to protect turn against them. An honor bound warrior species known as the Thyr spread across the universe preparing for war, as LT and Bill are pulled across worlds, expected to quell the threat of their home galaxy's destruction. Meanwhile, a Hemosapien made Plague selectively spreads across the universe turning people into blood thirsty, powerful, animalistic echoes of their former selves. As everything goes to hell, LT and Bill trust in their skills, sarcasm, and the bond of blood to dismantle the increasingly corrupt High Order.

On the distant planet of Kepler-849c, humanity's fragile hope for a new beginning is shattered by the discovery of a cryptic signal. Dr Sai Courier, an astrobiologist and linguist, leads a desperate race to uncover its origin, but what she and her team unearth challenges everything they thought they knew about the universe. Beneath the surface lie the echoes of an ancient civilisation, their knowledge vast and mysterious.

War looms on the horizon... After the colonization of Mars and Europa, it took us fewer than five generations to reach beyond our solar system and discover new planets capable of supporting human life. Too far away to be governed under Earth law, the Collective was formed. Several hundred years later, the Collective has expanded to a system of six worlds. Power struggles and unequal rights have made interplanetary war all but inevitable. With rebellions arising across the Collective, three captains launch near-suicidal missions to free the oppressed fringe and reset equality across the stars. A galactic war is coming, and only an arthritic mail runner and a space pirate can stop it.

A secret war. An empire in crisis. One final hope for victory. Wil Sietinen is driven by duty. Second-in-line to a preeminent family dynasty, the young noble would rather design starships than plot political schemes or battle strategies. But when Wil is kidnapped by a mysterious alien enemy, he discovers that a brutal interstellar war has been covertly waging for centuries-and only his unique telekinetic powers can end the conflict. Learning that he's the genetic endgame of a generations-long plan to win the war, Wil grapples with his daunting responsibility to become a leader with the skills needed for a decisive military victory. But when he realizes that the enemy isn't who he's been led to believe, Wil faces an impossible moral dilemma as the fate of two civilizations hangs in the balance. Caught between ruthless adversaries and unsure who to trust, can Wil build the right alliances to secure his galactic empire's future? This timeless space opera epic with adventure, telekinetic abilities, coming-of-age, romance, and intrigue will appeal to fans of Star Wars, Anne McCaffrey, Frank Herbert's Dune, and the Lensman series by E.E. "Doc" Smith. Join three generations of the Sietinen family as they challenge destiny to win a war and lead a revolution that will change the course of an empire.
