Farseer Falling
Nuadan Bahad has lived for millennia fighting the enemies of the Aeldari. An experienced Farseer, he has served the Craftworld Ulthwé and their fight against the forces of Chaos for as long as his memory has distinction, and it doesn't seem like that will stop any time soon. However, when his squad gets dragged into a three-way battle with a group of Space Marines and daemons, he has a vision that changes his life and threatens him in every way possible: the Astarte that tried to kill him is going to be the only person that can save his life. Only, now he must find a way to convince the Ultramarine to see things his way before things get dangerous for both of them. Stranded with who should be his mortal enemy on a remote human farming colony, the two find themselves surrounded by Tyranids with the only way to survive being that they must quickly learn to trust one another before they find an enemy far worse waiting for them. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0.

The Vengeance Trilogy.
A trilogy of military hard SciFi short stories, each of which stands on its own but is linked to the earlier parts. Part 1 is my attempt at writing what a battle in space might really be like. Part 2 is - well, as a student of military history, I was struck by how some things in the military life have seemed to be constant over the centuries. Part 3 is the result of trying to imagine what an infantry fire-fight might be like in the 22nd century or beyond. How does technology play into it?Complete

Aided by Nuadan and his dwindling squad of Asuryani, Caius sets out to try and stop Hepharion and his warband before they claim another world while protecting the Titan heart salvaged from Polemeca while waiting for an Adeptus Mechanicus vessel to take it to Mars. Arriving on Alamarri, they meet Captain Finn Varis of the Imperial Fists and the Forward Engineering Battalion who reveal that the situation might be far more complicated than they would ever imagine as a series of ancient Eldar webway gates are discovered beneath the fortress.
