Desperation, ideals, greed, and hope - they all have a role to play in tearing the galaxy apart. The human race finds itself at the precipice; a mysterious, monstrous force threatens everything in the cosmos, and all the while, the unity of humanity's Empire threatens to shatter just when it is needed most. Never before has extinction been so tangible a possibility, and never before has exceptional courage, intellect, and luck been more needed. This is a story about more than just people, their ambitions, and their conflicts: it is a story about crisis, set in a universe where survival, for any side, and for anyone, may be impossible. It remains to be seen if the popular patriotic saying, "Humanity endures," will remain true - even for a week. -- If you wish you purchase a paperback version of this novel, you can do so on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Humanity-Endures-Evan-Peter-Armstrong/dp/B08P8QK86H.

The Rangers have been declared obsolete, but the crew of the starship Rogue isn't going to go down without a fight. The crew of the starship Rogue have gone underground, and are rebuilding the Intergalactic Ranger Corps in secret. It's time for the annual War Games, a chance for law enforcement and combat agencies to go up against each other to prove which one is the best, and the War Games are the Rangers' chance to prove that they are the best fighters out there, that they deserve to exist once more. They've saved the galaxy more than once, but now it's not a question of saving others. It's a question of saving themselves. *Sequel to Starship: Rogue*

Woken in a world ravaged by war, the planet is deteriorating quickly and Aeris is a lone survivor. Her one hope of survival seems to be a strange man boarding what seems to be a space ship. Left with the choice of death as the planet implodes or risk of danger from the unknown, she finds herself stowing away on his ship. But as the ship shoots into the sky, she gets more than she bargained for and worse yet, is this stranger even a man...or something else?

Earth lies in ruins after the war which truly was to end all wars. All those who could afford it, fled the planet into the grand void. Those who could not and were still lucky enough to survive holed up in the few somewhat habitable areas left on the planet. One day however, salvation came from the stars, as the Asmodei descended upon the ruined earth, bearing promises of a new world for mankind to thrive on. A fresh start, to make up for the follies of the past. But nothing works out quite as advertised, does it?

For decades, the Robot Wars have raged all across colonized space. But, now, thanks to the actions of the Rangers serving onboard the starship Horizon, the war is finally over. Yet the cost of that final battle has had astronomic consequences on the Horizon's crew. Hero of the battle, Sergeant Rowan, is paying a heavy price for her actions, incapacitated and turned into what she hates most. Still, the time is coming when she'll have to step up to the plate and set aside her anger for the sake of everyone in her squad and on the ship. Medic Carter Roe saw firsthand the destruction of the final battle, and it has instilled in her a determination to put her talents to use. Signing on as the Medical Officer for Rowan's squad, she realizes she might be in over her head, and she's in for a whole lot more than she bargained for. From a desolate industrial planet, factory worker Adlai Fletcher knows that the end of the war doesn't mean an end to violence, and she signs on to the Colonial Network's army. Still, with every branch of law enforcement scrambling to recruit after their losses at war, can she prove that she is worth more than anyone expected and rise above the squalor of her home planet to actually become someone? The war might be over, but the fight never ends.
