Being a hero isn't easy, unless you're being blackmailed.
Dante has the best cybernetic and genetic modifications money can buy. The problem is, he stole them from the owner of the largest bio-enhancement company in the human controlled galaxy, his father. When one of his father's research facilities start turning locals into violent mutants, Dante is coerced to clean up the mess.
Assisted by a convict, an ex-cop, and a pyromaniac, Dante must fight his way through the research facility's automated defenses, survive the horde of monstrosities within, discover what caused the outbreak, and identify the traitor in his group before any one of those things kills him.

Syberian Sunrise✔️
The sixth novel in The Shadow Wars. Enzo Rains could be a poster boy for the average twenty-fourth century mercenary. (If they made such a thing.) He's paranoid, entirely self-reliant, and does everything in his power to earn his next paycheck. His morals are slim at best and he's survived things that he shouldn't have. So imagine his surprise, (or lack thereof given his grim views on things like security and trust), when Enzo wakes up naked on a pile of corpses deep in the bowels of an unknown, highly technological research complex where an experiment has gone horribly wrong. Forced to rely on a meager inventory of supplies he can scrounge up from whatever dead bodies he encounters and a handful of survivors scattered throughout the facility, Enzo must fight his way through this godforsaken nightmare of a situation. Unfortunately, the damaged facility, the twisted mutations that stalk the corridors, and what's left of the security forces that once ran the place aren't going to make it easy...Complete
Deathless✔️
The thirteenth novel in The Shadow Wars. At the edge of explored space sits a desert world known only as Ash. It supports a minuscule population of miserable soldiers, technicians, and scientists. Why are they here? A year ago, a deep space government probe discovered an ancient alien device of unknown origins. It doesn't belong to the Cyr, it's much older than that. When all communications are suddenly lost with Ash and none of the teams sent to investigate report back, the government decides to put Anomalous Operations on the case. Having survived harrowing horror sessions of their own, newcomers Jennifer North and Eric Starck are looking to prove their worth to their new boss, (and to see just how interesting the galaxy really is). Veterans of the strange and unusual Drake Winters and Greg Bishop are just looking to get the job done, as they've got problems of their own to deal with nowadays. But none of them are even remotely prepared for the unholy hell that awaits them on Ash. It will push them past their breaking point. They will be forced beyond hope, beyond reason, beyond sanity...Complete
Ironhead - Book #1 (Little Tinman)
They can kill Joaquín Herrera. They can rebuild him, too. A staged shooting in a Chicago liquor store took the lives of his two best friends when he was eighteen. The grief drove him into the Army, then the CIA, then a classified operating table where they opened his skull and replaced what they found with something that doesn't sleep. When he woke with a tungsten heart and a red eye that never stopped watching, the architects had his father's face. Now the friends he buried are walking again-collected, rewired, and aimed back at him, wearing the same smiles over different machinery. The city is hemorrhaging: bombings dressed as infrastructure failures, children disappearing into programs that produce soldiers from the inside out, and a corporate empire whose paramilitary arm treats human bodies like rough drafts. FBI Special Agent Martina Lessa has been chasing the same machine through burn sites and whistleblower leaks. She was seven when they modified her brain without asking. Her brother went deeper and never surfaced. Every classified document she's pulled points to the same name-and now that name is standing in front of her, held together by hardware and grief, asking her to trust him. Chicago wants to call him a hero. Chicago doesn't know what's underneath the skin. Ironhead is a psychological body-horror novel about engineered trauma, resurrected friendships, and the thing that happens when a weapon starts remembering it used to be a child.Complete

He knows something is wrong, but refuses to let anyone else into his life. All he wants is to keep doing his job, keep running missions and bury his head in responsibility so that he doesn't have to put up with his own problems. So when Hawkins comes to him with another dangerous job, he leaps at the opportunity. Allan's new objective seems simple, on the surface: investigate a Rogue Ops ship found adrift in space. Intel is low, no one has any idea what happened to the ship or even what it was doing, but an opportunity to seize crucial data on the enemy is too good to pass up. Allan and a small team of experts are rushed out to the isolated vessel.

WEAPON "X" (BOOK 1 OF THE "X" TRILOGY)
After a catastrophic government project shatters half the Earth into toxic wastelands, the survivors are divided-those who live behind the towering walls of the new regime... and the mutated, hunted anomalies left to rot beyond it. Deep within a fortified lab lies Nessa Halsten, known only by the codename WEAPON X-a girl born of fire and destruction, with a power so absolute, even death refuses to claim her. For a decade, she's been imprisoned, tortured, and dissected under the cold eye of Rowan Thornhill-the Supreme Commander's heir and a brilliant, sadistic visionary obsessed with reshaping the world through her devastating gift. But when a rogue faction of surviving mutants known as the Shadow Legion storms the facility and frees her, Nessa is thrust into a war she never asked for-one where trust is fragile, and betrayal cuts deeper than any experiment. As she trains to unlock the monstrous force inside her, a new terror looms: a mysterious portal in the Outer Zone, pulsing with alien energy and threatening to consume what's left of Earth. Only Nessa can break the barrier. Only Weapon X can stand between salvation and annihilation. Yet as war breaks out, alliances splinter, and Rowan returns with an army of hybrid abominations, Nessa must choose: remain the weapon they forged... or become the reckoning they never saw coming. They called her a monster. They should have prayed she stayed buried. The real war hasn't even begun yet.
