The Spoked Offensive is underway! The Atrekna assault planet after planet, each planet conquered providing the jump-off point for an assault of five additional systems as the Atrekna have no need of supply lines when they can use their mastery of time and space to replicate supplies over and over again. The Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems is sent reeling back, in desperate need of refit and reinforcements. World after world has turned into a desperate holding action when what the Confederacy needs is breathing room. Operational tempo has collapsed and things looks bleak. In the ...

The unthinkable has happened to the Lanaktallan. Dreams of Something More has overseen the surrender of the Unified Civilized Council but the war is still rages on between the Precursor Autonomous War Machines, the Atrekna, and the Terran Confederacy. The Atrekna and the PAWM are pushing their advantage while the Confederate war machine reels back from the horrendous losses taken during the Terran Extinction Event.

Humanity lies dead. The Atrekna are landing nearly unopposed on thousands of planets. The day looks dark and many are losing hope. But the Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems is more than just the Terrans. The Treana'ad War Hordes charge into battle against the enemy. Black Mantid Special Forces own the night. The Telkan Marine Corps spits their defiance into the faces of the invaders from a dead universe. The Lanaktallan desert the Unified Military Council by the hundreds of thousand to join with the Confederacy. Even further, just because you have killed a Terran does not mean its over....

The Terran Xenocide Event has hit the Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems hard. Over 60% of their active duty military is down and dead, entire fleets are crewed only by a handful of beings, whole armies have just slumped to the ground. The Council/Confederacy Conflict has ensured that every planet is armed and ready, but the Atrekna are the wrong foe. Able to gate in troops and war material without the need for ships or vast logistics lines, the Atrekna appear to be an unbeatable foe who can manipulate space and time to ensure they always get the right outcome. With Hesstla being invaded...

The Confederacy/Council Conflict has been interrupted by the return of the vile Atrekna, who view the entire universe as nothing more than resources for their own people to collect. The Lanaktallan cannot withstand the Confederacy military forces, the Precursor Autonomous War Machines, or the Atrekna's biological war systems and are on the edge of collapse. The Confederacy has been caught in between maneuvers, with its most powerful units out of position. The Atrekna are everywhere, overrunning world after world. Lowly gunner Ha'almo'or finds himself thrust into a desperate situation that ...

The Cygnus-Orion Galactic Arm Spur is engulfed in warfare. A four way brawl with its roots a hundred million years prior, with the Lanaktallan Unified Council on one side, a strange invader from a dying universe on another, the Precursor Autonomous War Machines, strengthened by alliances, coming back into the fight, and, of course, the Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems. The war has spread to dozens, hundreds of different systems with no signs of stopping. Each side is grimly digging in for the long haul. The vile Atrekna, invaders from another dimension, view the entire universe as ...

The Unified Civilized Council has struck at the Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems and struck hard with biological, genecracker, and nanite warfare, causing tens of billions of deaths and wiping out the populations of entire systems. The Unified Council is using the Confederacy's refusal to turn systems liberated from the Precursor Autonomous War Machines as the cassus belli for their attacks and have struck without a declaration of war, going straight for their non-conventional tactics. The murderous Precursor Autonomous War Machines have returned after spending nearly a year refitting,...

The situation on Telkan has become desperate, the Unified Civilized Council has struck at the Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems, their allies, and any Terran civilization they can locate. The diplomat Dreams of Something More has found herself discovering terrible secrets, and even worse things are approaching to challenge all of the players. The Cygnus-Orion Galactic Arm Spur is rapidly descending into open warfare between the Precursor Autonomous War Machines, the Unified Civilized Council, the Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems, the Dwellerspawn, and whoever is willing to pick up ...

The Confederacy/Council Conflict (The Big C3) rages on, the Orion-Cygnus Galactic Arm Spur is wracked by fighting with entire planets burning. The Precursor Autonomous War Machines are back with new tricks, the Atrekna are making more moves and displaying more of a presence than the Confederacy suspected, and the Lanaktallan Great Herd has invaded the home worlds of the prime species of the Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems. The Sol System is awash with fire and flame as the Lanaktallan discover that the millions of ships they brought are nothing more than chaff before Fortress Sol. The...

The Council/Confederacy Conflict is rapidly gaining speed, with hundreds of stellar systems burning and under attack. The Unified Council, having struck at the Confederacy with bioweapons and having made great gains, is unprepared for the Confederacy's counter-attack and the arrival of "Heavy Metal" in dozens of systems. Terrible weapons and projects are being released by both sides, the autonomous war machines have regrouped and returned, and everyone is caught in the middle of the largest conflict since the First Precursor War. The burden of Citizenship falls on Confederate citizens as ...

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

The Unified Civilized Council, which has ruled for over a hundred million years has discovered new species in the Long Dark. Strange and unknown species that seem to have no rhyme or reason about them. Compounding the problem is the reappearance of the ancient Precursor Autonomous War Machines. Even worse is the fact that the newly discovered Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems appear to be the only force capable of stopping the murderous robotic starships, some the size of small continents. The first book in the Behold Humanity! series, this covers the initial meetings as well as the ...

The Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems has come to the defense of the Unified Civilized Species Council, moving an astounding weight of metal and troops into UCC space.

On a frontier planet, land is cheap. So is your life. Tom Savage is intent on homesteading, and Phaethon is the newest planet open for colonization. Here, technology is lacking in many places. And for 200 credits, anyone can claim one square kilometer of prime farmland. But Tom has a secret or two. He is not interested in farming crops, at least not at first. Tom wants to harvest pieces of Phaethon’s sun. To do so will mean first reaching his stake out near the desert, surviving human predators along the way, bringing fugitives to justice, and dealing with the resident sand dragon ...

Beelzebub and the demons are too powerful to be stopped. Godfrey and the angels have an ancient weapon that can kill with a thought. The humans have pluck. Um, that might not get it done.
