In Viridian Skies, Kole and his new apprentice are settling into their partnership. A string of successful hunts calls for a reprieve, however, and Neela has an idea for the perfect vacation – a planet-wide celebration during a rare celestial event. She even found a local job to help defray expenses. Kole reluctantly agrees and finds himself in a fight for survival.

In Pirate’s Nest, Kole is approached by a Hegemony Intelligence officer with a job he can’t turn down. A pirate menace has been growing on the Rim, and the officer has tasked him with infiltrating the group and taking out their shadowy leader. Kole has experience mingling with the dregs of society as a bounty hunter, but even he isn’t prepared for what awaits.

SPACE IS VAST AND UNTAMED, AND IT HOLDS MANY SECRETS.
Now two individuals from opposite ends of settled space are on a collision course with the darkest of those secrets, even as the world threatens to explode around them.
The year is 2322. Humanity has expanded into the stars, inhabiting over 100 worlds across a third of the galaxy. Though thriving as never before, they have discovered neither alien life nor the key to utopia. Earth struggles to retain authority over far-flung planets and free-wheeling corporations while an uneasy armistice with a breakaway federation hangs by a thread as the former rebels rise in wealth and power.

Alexis Solovy is Earth Alliance royalty, her father a fallen war hero and her mother an influential military leader. But she seeks only the freedom of space and has made a fortune by reading the patterns in the chaos to discover the hidden wonders of the stars.

Nothing about her latest objective suggests the secret it conceals will turn her life— not to mention the entire galaxy—upside down. But a chance encounter with a mysterious spy leads to a discovery which will thrust Alex into the middle of a galactic power struggle and a sinister conspiracy, whether she likes it or not.

An epic adventure blending science fiction and fantasy in a tale of courage, sacrifice, and undying friendship.

A high-tech, futuristic soldier is thrust into battle alongside a magic-using, high-elf priestess in a quest that could mean the salvation or destruction of two galaxies.

Wizard scouts are the elite, deep-recon forces of the Intergalactic Empire, trained to operate light years behind enemy lines with little or no support. While still a first-year student at the Intergalactic Empire’s legendary Wizard Scout Academy, Cadet Richard Shepard excels at the mix of technology and psionic abilities that make wizard scouts the Empire’s most elite soldiers.

When war breaks out with the Crosoian Federation, Richard is sent by an entity known only as ‘the One’ to the magic dimension to help the beautiful elf, Shandria, defeat a demon and its army of undead. Trained at the academy to fight against armored vehicles, phase beams, and attacking starships, Richard quickly finds himself in unfamiliar territory. Regardless, with the fate of two galaxies riding in the balance, he must somehow use his wizard scout skills and the technology of his newly acquired battle suit and prototype computer, Nickelo, to overcome a host of dragons, demons, trolls, zombies, and ghouls.

Can a lone wizard scout cadet prevail with only the aid of his battle computer and the magic of an elf priestess for support? The odds are against him, but Richard is determined to somehow snatch victory from the jaws of defeat or die in the attempt.
