The fifteenth, and final, novel in The Shadow Wars.

As he escapes and begins searching the area around him, he makes several horrifying discoveries. His closest friends have been captured by an unknown group, and so have many horrors from their past. Alien monsters and otherworldly creatures roam the halls, beasts that they all thought they would never have to face again. Outnumbered, injured, and terrified, the survivors must battle against old foes, monstrous horrors, and the environment itself if they are to get out of this one alive...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

Into the Void✔️
The fourteenth novel in The Shadow Wars. Colonies are being attacked along the Far Reach. Hundreds of people have been murdered. Very little information has been gathered on those responsible, but what is known so far is chilling. They are monstrous men and women who have been heavily modified by technology, gruesomely grafted directly into their flesh. They know no fear, no mercy, no pity. They cannot be threatened, bribed, or reasoned with. Anomalous Operations has been trying to deal with them for weeks now, attempting to discover where it is they are hiding, who they are, and how to stop them. Finally, a break in the case comes. The secret location of their headquarters is discovered. Allan Gray and Callie Ward, along with a squad of veteran soldiers, are dispatched beyond the Far Reach to put these techno-terrorists down for good. But something is waiting for them in the darkness, something of immense power and cold, calculating evil...Complete
Starck's Lament✔️
The twelfth novel in The Shadow Wars. Eric Starck is a man adrift. After fighting in the Systems Wars that ravaged the galaxy, he's spent the past three years drifting from one job to the next, never quite feeling comfortable. The latest in a long line of jobs is at least seeming like it might be a career he can attach to. Search & Rescue. His job is to fly through the deeper regions of space and offer assistance to any and all who need it. Everything is about to get thrown out the airlock, however, as he and his crew pick up a seemingly simple distress call from an isolated, asteroid-based service and repair station. The deep space equivalent of a lone truck stop. As they arrive, they find the facility in terrible shape, the inhabitants brutalized, and quickly become trapped in a truly isolated situation with a group of vicious, blood-thirsty alien creatures that seem to want nothing more than to brutally murder them all...Complete
