An unsuspecting Galaxy is suddenly thrust into war, and the only person who can stop it…is the one who started it.

For Executor Darkclaw, his invasion of the Galactic Alliance is simply a task from his master to be obeyed.

For the Galactic Alliance, it is a disaster they were utterly unprepared for.

For others, the invasion is a godsend. Grand Admiral Nayasar Khariah, thirsty for revenge, jumps at the chance to join the invaders and get back at the Alliance no matter the cost.

However, all is not as it seems.

When Darkclaw starts to have second thoughts about the mission assigned to him by his master, the all-powerful High Lord, he finds himself at a morally explosive crossroads. Will he press on and carry out the purpose he was created for, or will he risk his own destruction as well as that of his newfound friends by defying his master?

An existential threat to the Universe is imminent as the High Lord looms over everything, and the only way to stop him and save not only the Alliance but the entire galaxy, lies in the remains of an ancient, powerful race and the creations they left behind.

Fans of David Weber and the old Star Wars expanded universe will love this epic space opera.

It is the dying days of the Age of Adventures and the Orc Wars have ended.

The Crown Pantheon, authoritarian rulers of Allspire, slaughtered the marauding Orcs by the tens of thousands and returned peace to the continent of Evergrad. But among the many half-orc bastards left in the wake of the war, one was Prince Ragoth Brightsorn, son of the notorious Warlord Thorgoth and Seranna, Queen of Namaria, the sole human-ruled kingdom.

After seventeen years of isolation, Ragoth is cruelly forced out of his life of luxurious comfort and into exile on the eve of his royal Crowning before he can receive his gilded mark, the magic sigil that proves his royal birth. Unable to prove who he is or return home, he embarks on a quest to reach his father’s tribe, the Sunderfang, in the lawless wilds of Dreadmour.

But his venture is not taken alone. He earns the company of Cortland Lowhelm, a pugilistic human farmboy hellbent on finding a legend to fill, and Denith, a compassionate, if helpless, elvish goodwill worker. To ensure safe passage, they acquire the services of Val’Mora, a world-weary veteran adventurer down on her luck. Together, they cross the kingdoms of the Crown Pantheon with nefarious forces seemingly at every step.

The Black Crown is a coming-of-age epic fantasy packed to the brim with action & adventure, political intrigue, found family, vengeful dragons, dark abominations, and, most of all….ORCS!

“The Black Crown is a masterpiece of epic fantasy, delivering high intensity fun without neglecting the expectations of the genre.” – Katie Roome, Periapsis Press

A soldier with a grudge. An illegal AI with no limits. Can they confront their darkest fears to defeat an alien nemesis that threatens humanity’s fragile existence?

Technical Specialist Kerry Sevvers is the best the Division has to offer. Haunted by the loss of his mother, he commands drone swarms with only his thoughts thanks to an experimental neural implant and a cluster of lethal AI.

Among those AI, one stands apart—a creation whose very existence defies Division rules. Codenamed Six, it represents the pinnacle of Sev’s defiance and ingenuity. With no mandatory safeguards, Six is as brilliant as it is dangerous, making it his most powerful and unpredictable ally in their fight for survival.

A high-risk mission to rescue a deep cover Colonial Intelligence operative puts their skills to the test. When the op runs afoul of a long-dormant threat, it falls to Sev, his AI, and a fireteam of Marines to confront an enemy that threatens to unravel the very fabric of the Three Colonies.

Failure means the extinction of humanity itself. They must overcome rogue AI, hostile aliens, and their own divisions to defeat the resurgent evil beyond the colonial frontier.

Readers who enjoyed the exploits of AI drones in Daniel Suarez’s Kill Decision and the claustrophobic corridors of James S.A. Corey’s Leviathan Wakes will be riveted by the combination of the two presented here. The constant dread as ancient evil stirs will make it impossible to put down.

Coders, Marines, and Intel operatives report for duty! Battle relentless aliens, corrupted machine minds, and humanity’s dark past by downloading this heart-pounding military sci-fi thriller today!

A failed military training exercise. An alien incursion, desperate and on the hunt. Survival is just the beginning…

Finn had thought he’d seen it all…but no…he had to admit…

Not quite everything…

There was a big universe out there and it was about to land in his lap.

Just how bad could it be?

Insubordinate and on the edge, Finn is a troubled war hero racked by guilt, overseen by an unyielding Commanding Officer while dragging his ragtag group of rookies through basic training. Suddenly caught up in a major global crisis, he joins with Gunner Zuri Zuberi, leading Delta Squad in a desperate struggle for survival when an alien incursion lands slap bang in the middle of their training session – killing indiscriminately and pitting inexperienced soldiers against the power of alien technology.

With the modern-day world panicking after the small alien force penetrates Earth’s ineffective defences, a second incursion drops into the atmosphere, revealing more of the enemy’s capabilities. As losses mount, the world’s armed forces find themselves helpless to act when the aliens reveal a weapon that could change modern warfare forever.

This new alien tech breeds greed and mistrust amongst opposing countries. The need to be the first to acquire it, escalating beyond political conflict as governments circle, missiles at the ready.

Finding themselves alone in the fight for Earth’s future, Delta Squad discover the aliens are more than they seem, and that alien technology can be just as deadly in the hands of humanity when they unearth the Weapons of Choice.
