Nocturne, a wilderness of eternal night where magic reigns supreme.
Solis, a wasteland of endless day where ancient kingdoms vie for power.


Nazafareen is a Breaker, a mortal who has the rare ability to shatter spell magic—although her talent carries a price. With the memories of her former self erased, she comes to Nocturne hoping to start a new life under the triple moons of the darklands.

But when an assassin forces Nazafareen to flee to the sunlit mortal city of Delphi, she finds herself embroiled in a deeper mystery whose origins lie far in the past. Why was the continent sundered into light and dark a thousand years before? And what really happened to the elegant but ruthless creatures who nearly reduced the world to ashes? The new Oracle might know, but she’s outlawed magic and executes anyone caught practicing it. Nazafareen must hide her powers and find a way out of the city—before it’s too late.

As the net slowly tightens, something ancient and vengeful begins to stir in the arid death zone called the Kiln. A dashing daeva named Darius is pursuing Nazafareen, but so are a multitude of enemies. War is brewing again. Can she stay alive long enough to stop it?

Five decades ago, Corporal Isiah “Bull” Amato, Unity Coalition Marine Corps, was ordered to lay down his arms and became a prisoner of war of the Sirius Alliance Syndicate. When he returned to his home planet of New Cotswold, the government had had enough of galactic politics, so it withdrew from the coalition, disbanded its military, and disavowed war.

Not everyone got the memo.

Bull is the commander of his aging-out Veterans of Galactic Wars post when drop troopers land and quickly take over Bally on the Vine. He once swore he would never allow himself to be taken prisoner again, but what can one seventy-three-year-old do to resist?

A Marine’s oath doesn’t have an expiration date, and no matter what the politicians say, his duty is to protect his fellow citizens. Whatever the odds, he has no choice. Bull will fight the invaders.

The bad news: Alora is dead.

The good news: She just landed her dream job.

Or rather, she got a job making dreams for those still alive on Earth. But working in the Afterworld for Dreamweavers, LLC isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Her boss, the Greco-Roman god of dreams, couldn’t care less about anything. Her coworkers, a bunch of bedsheet-wearing ghosts, don’t trust her. Worst of all, she just discovered that Chernobog, the god of misfortune and head of the Nightmare Department, is plotting a hostile takeover of the whole company.

Driven by a mysterious yet familiar mantra—If you’re going to do something, do it right—Alora undertakes a desperate gambit to save her job, department, and maybe the entire Dreamscape. That means uncovering all she can about Chernobog’s schemes and exposing the dastardly demon’s plot to the highest power she knows, Dreamweavers’ Chief Operations Officer, before it’s too late.

He unearthed the galaxy’s most powerful alien artifact. Now, he must run to survive.

Jax Mulder is just trying to survive. Scraping a living as a Breaker in the perilous, interstellar junkyards, he’s used to risking his neck for worthless space trash. But when he unearths an impossibly rare, glowing alien artifact, he thinks his days of grueling poverty are finally over.

His dreams shatter when a savage betrayal causes the entire sector to learn of his discovery. Instantly, Jax becomes the most hunted man in the cosmos.

Forced into a reluctant alliance with Mara Holt, a strict Beyond Earth Authority officer, Jax must outfly ruthless rival scavengers and evade a terrifying, emotionless corporate assassin known only as the Agent.

On the run, and fighting for their lives, Jax and Mara realize that the artifact is worth more than just cold, hard cash. It could unlock the greatest secrets of the universe. Secrets the mega-corporations will do anything to own.

Outgunned and running out of places to hide, Jax and Mara must make an impossible choice. Will they surrender the artifact to a ruthless corporate dynasty, or risk it all to keep the secrets of the alien relic for themselves?

Starship Breaker is book one of the Alien Coded series, by Kindle Storyteller Award winner, G J Ogden. Perfect for fans of fast-paced science fiction adventures like J.N. Chaney’s Backyard Starship and A.K. DuBoff’s Starship of the Ancients, packed with alien discovery, action, humor, and mystery.

Terror from the stars. Aliens have arrived.

But the armies of humanity are far away. Issue the emergency recall!

Bring the HFP home to defend Earth.

For all humanity.
