Human Special Agent Elizabeth Mbenge is the tip of the spear of the armed forces of the Terran Federation. An elite Sunguard operative with unchecked authority, she is without equal among the ranks of the military. But when faced with an apocalyptic threat from within her own organization, not even the best of the best is good enough. Biotic Special Agent Avor Ameir is the first of her kind.

The ultimate weapon of the Terran Federation, she will not let anything - or anyone - stand in the way of completing her mission. Together, they must navigate a complex landscape of civilian politics and military doctrine to save the Federation from the rot beginning to fester at its core. But what happens when the perfect enforcer of the Sunguard's terrifying might encounters the messy reality of human corruption and decides to take her duty as a solar wolf to its ultimate logical conclusion? Incapable of stopping until she has fulfilled the purpose etched into her genes, she could break the Terran Federation, or guide it into a new, golden age. The Wolf Reforged is a tale of duty, free will, and the infinite value of human life that dares to ask an uncomfortable question: Can a machine remain true to humanity's ideals when humanity itself cannot?

Earther forces have begun appearing deep inside New Terran space, raining terror on every planet, settlement, and facility they can find and killing millions along the way. Greatly outnumbered, Assemblage forces have instituted a draft and expanded conscription to the furthest reaches of space, but Major William Anderson has a different plan, a different ideology for dealing with the swarms of Earther marines.

Master Sergeant Gant Maker was a highly-decorated and well-respected Marine - until his last mission left him as the sole survivor of an encounter with a vicious race called the Vacra. Served up as a scapegoat and drummed out of the military, he has since lived a life of seclusion with only an adopted alien as a companion. Now the Vacra have returned. As the only person to have ever faced them and survived, Maker is reinstated in the Corps and given the onerous task of finding this enemy on a world located at the edge of known space. Assisting him is an unlikely band of military rejects, including a blind sharpshooter, an unstable psychic, and a genetically-engineered killing machine who refuses to fight. Given that the Vacra have superior weapons and technology, Maker recognizes that his team is at a distinct disadvantage. But Marines are nothing if not resourceful, and Maker has an audacious plan that just may level the playing field - if it doesn't get them all killed.

The gateway to the south and the first line of defence for Rychter's human colonists, it is vulnerable for the first time in living memory. With the brutish Scraegan warbands in the badlands biding their time and gathering strength, it seems more bloodshed is inevitable.

In the eyes of the North, Brekka's leaders have failed in their duty, and if the Scraegans can no longer be contained, they must be destroyed. He and his companions are soon drafted to join an army with a single purpose: complete extermination. The battle for Brekka might be over, but the war for Rychter is about to begin. || BOOK 2 in the HUNTER-KILLER SERIES

In the twenty-ninth century, the Terran Federation spans the stars-an empire of reason, order, and quiet tyranny. Its power rests upon the Sunguard Special Agents: immortal biotic soldiers, living machines sworn by genetic code to serve in perpetuity as the vanguard of humanity. But when an entire colony vanishes without a trace, and even its assigned Special Agent falls silent, the illusion of perfect control begins to fracture. Colonel Kelile Reynolds is drawn into a mystery that defies both logic and loyalty. What begins as a failed transmission unravels into a labyrinth of secrets buried beneath a conspiracy six centuries in the making. His search for truth will lead him toward a revelation that could unmake the Federation itself. Guardian of the Wolf is a tale of duty and defiance, where humanity's greatest creation remembers what its makers have forgotten, and guards, still, the fading light of the human soul.

Escort duty is the safest assignment in the Solano Navy-provided no one shoots at you. Twelve days into a routine patrol through the Aurelia Kuiper Belt, the frigate SNS-FE6 Cutlass answers a late distress call from a freighter that arrives exactly where it shouldn't and precisely when it's least convenient. David Carter-contracted Marine advisor, professional skeptic, and owner of zero actual authority-knows a trap when he sees one. Unfortunately, recognizing a mistake and being allowed to prevent it are two very different things. Sure enough, missiles are inbound. Point-defense howls. Compartments rupture. And the debate over whether pirates can be reasoned with ends the way such debates usually do: violently and on camera. As command fractures and hesitation costs lives, Carter does what professionals always do when leadership falters-he fights the problem in front of him and worries about the politics later. Deck by deck. Hatch by hatch. Body by body. But repelling the boarders isn't the same as surviving the engagement. Because somewhere beyond the hull, the pirate still lurks-and it has more lasers than patience. Set years before the events of Perrin Miller's Out of the Cold, this hard-edged military SF prequel delivers brutal boarding actions, command decisions under fire, and one escort mission that will be studied for years-mostly as a warning.

Sunguard Special Agent Rehema Nyasi has upheld peace in the Terran Federation for over five centuries. But when an anti-insurgency mission on Jerr ends in a civilian massacre, she faces a question she can no longer ignore: What if loyalty itself is a kind of betrayal? Amid the chaos, she finds Myan Lami - a five-day-old biotic soldier, engineered to obey, now paralyzed by guilt. Haunted by the lives he was built to take, Lami is the perfect weapon beginning to think for himself. As Nyasi challenges corrupt leaders and rising racial injustice, Lami wrestles with guilt and the hope of redemption. Together, they must choose whether to follow orders, defy them, or forge a new path entirely. This story takes place in my Lords of the Stars shared universe.
