Today, Battle Fleet 921 is returning to Earth. It hasn’t been seen by human eyes since our blissful day of Annexation. But what should be a joyful occasion, a chance to grovel at the feet of superior lifeforms, is rapidly becoming a nightmare.

Over the last century, Humanity has engaged in many activities that our Overlords find… questionable. A panic ensues, and Legion Varus is deployed to erase certain “mistakes” our government has made. Projects must be purged to stop Imperial military action.

Among the thousands marching to war is one man no politician has ever enjoyed dealing with. One man who’s destined to follow his own unique path through Galactic Law, Morality and the Stars themselves.

Assault Captain Derek Straker is one such man among many. Genetically sculpted to drive a mech-suit as if he wears a second skin, he must defend Corinth to the last.

It’s a battle in which he’ll never admit defeat, but not even Straker knows the dark truth behind this titanic struggle.

The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them.

The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we’re less primitive. Today, we're a target.

One man is chosen to command Earth's single ship in the Rebel Fleet. When the war breaks out, Leo Blake must win it… or die trying.

STARFIRE

A new Space Exploration Novel

Available at Amazon, Kobo, BN and preorder on: Audible

Two ships launch, but only one can come home with the prize—and no one suspects what they’ll find when they get out there.

On June 30, 1908 an object fell from the sky releasing more energy than a thousand Hiroshima bombs. A Siberian forest was flattened, but the strike left no significant crater. The anomaly came to be known as the Tunguska Event, and scientists have never agreed whether it was the largest meteor strike in recorded history—or something else.

Alien Artifacts have been uncovered since the 1908 event, and a new star drive is discovered. When a larger Artifact is detected orbiting Jupiter, both NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency are determined to beat all rivals to the next treasure trove of alien tech.

STARFIRE is a 400+ page action-packed Space Exploration novel.

In the fourth book of the series, James McGill is up for promotion. Not everyone is happy about that, and McGill must prove he’s worth his stripes. Deployed to a strange alien planet outside the boundaries of the Galactic Empire, he’s caught up in warfare and political intrigue. Earth expands, the Cephalopod Kingdom launches ships to stop us, and a grand conspiracy emerges among the upper ranks of the Hegemony military.

In MACHINE WORLD, McGill faces an entirely new kind of alien life, Galactic prosecution, and thousands of relentless squid troopers. He lives and dies in the falling ashes of the Empire, a man of unique honor at the dawn of humanity’s resurgence.

NEWS:  About Kindle Unlimited (January, 2015)

My Grandmother had a pair of creepy drama masks like these on the guest bedroom wall. They always freaked me out as a child...

I have good news for some, bad news for others. Amazon is requiring exclusivity for my works to continue in the Kindle Unlimited program (allowing subscribers to read books for free). If you are an Amazon KU reader, this is good news, and the happy face is for you. Most of my books will be available on KU over time. The bad news is I can't put them into KU without taking them away from my readers on Barnes and Noble, and other sites. 

For now, the Undying Mercenaries Series, including Machine World, are all available on every site and are therefore NOT KU. The rest of my books are Amazon only, in KU. My apologies if you are one of those who is crying like the mask above due to this announcement, but due to contractual agreements I'm no longer able to offer you the best of both worlds.

Update: STEEL WORLD on Audible (December, 2013)

Available at Audible, Amazon, Kobo and BN

In the twentieth century Earth sent probes, transmissions and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed.

The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire.

Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn’t the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade. Something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service we could provide came in the form of soldiers. Someone had to do their dirty work for them, their fighting and dying.

I, James McGill, was born in 2099 on the fringe of the galaxy. When I ran out of college loans and options I turned to the stars. My first campaign involved the invasion of a mineral-rich planet called Cancri-9, better known as Steel World. The attack didn’t go well, and now Earth is in a grim struggle for survival.
