At Circle's End
Summary
In the months since his disappearance, Danny Tucker has retreated to the darkest corners of Alystierian space, seeking intelligence on the Empire’s new chancellor Alec Masterson. Backed by a crew of outcasts and fighting from the shadows as the enigmatic Rogue centurion, Danny will stop at nothing to achieve his mission - vengeance for the brutal murder of Madisyn Reynolds. Still, try as he might, Danny can’t remain underground forever, and with sightings of the Rogue growing more frequent, Lee Summerston won’t rest until the lost renegade is found. Meanwhile, in the core, Aura stands on the brink of annihilation as Imperial forces draw ever closer to her shores. In the end, scores will be settled, and brothers will rise united...or they’ll all burn together. At Circle’s End is the soaring climax to Ian J. Malone’s The Mako Saga and a heartfelt sendoff to sci-fi’s most beloved band of bar buddies turned intergalactic heroes of war.

Free Bird Rising
Summary
Taylor Van Zant has a lot on his mind. Like everyone in Jacksonville, North Florida, the early-20s bartender from Riverside saw his world upended when his brother, Terry, an interstellar mercenary and local hero, died suddenly in a freak starship accident. Five years later, having been stonewalled for answers, Taylor faced a choice: Honor his mother’s wish that he never go merc or defy it to save her life by resurrecting Terry’s company. That was 13 months ago. Now the newly reformed Eagles stand on the verge of a major milestone: owning their own flagship. There’s just one problem. Terry left behind a ship that no one knew about, a rare breed of cruiser with a most peculiar secret. Free Bird Rising is the story of a young man’s quest for justice and to escape his brother’s shadow. The shocking revelations he finds, though, will likely rock the Galactic Union to its core and get him killed.

Mako
Summary
It’s just a game...or is it? On the heels of his divorce, down-and-out history professor Lee Summerston doesn’t have a lot going for him - a nowhere job at a third-rate college with kids who don’t care about anything except how to slide through class. All of that changes, though, when Lee leads a team of old friends to virtual glory as the first-ever group to beat Mako Assault, a revolutionary new game that has emerged from nowhere to take the Internet by storm. As a reward for their achievement, the group is flown to meet the game’s mysterious designer and assist in developing the follow-on game Mako 2.0. But what they find when they get there is more than they’d expected...much more. Mako’s intent was never to entertain its players. It was to train them. An epic sci-fi thrill-ride of action, suspense, laughter, and romance, Mako is the story of five ordinary people who will have to rise to the challenge of extraordinary events, driven only by their faith in each other. If they can’t, the game will become very real to more than just themselves - the Earth itself may ultimately be at stake.

Red Sky Dawning
Summary
Five years after the historic Battle of Dulaston, Lee Summerston and the Renegades have settled nicely into life on Aura - and none more so than Danny Tucker. Fueled by a rising career as an ASC staff sergeant and a love unlike any he’s ever known, Danny is in the prime of his life and is at last free from the demons that have stalked him for years. Some demons never die, though, and when an old enemy comes to settle a personal score, Danny soon finds himself - and the woman of his dreams - swept up in the backlash of a climaxing civil war and straight into the crosshairs of a father’s bloodlust for revenge. The clock on the war is ticking, only now there’s more at stake than anyone can possibly know as an enemy from the past may tilt the war in an unexpected direction, and the Renegades may be called to give their lives to save their adopted homeland. Red Sky Dawning is the tale of Danny Tucker’s quest to bury his past and protect those dearest to him as the fates of billions hang in the balance. This time, however, the cavalry won’t be there to save him.

Salvage Conquest
Summary
15 outstanding authors! 15 pause-resisting stories in the Salvage Title universe! Harmon Tomeral and his friends wanted nothing more than to go to space, and they have beaten the odds, time and again, to get there. They developed a mech and won the Top Fleet Marine competition. They brought back a battle cruiser from an unknown system and made it their own. They made allies who helped them achieve great victories, and they, ultimately, founded new colonies in what has become known as the Salvage System. Salvage System is a beacon of hope, and a number of other races have begun looking toward it as an inspiration for how to live and govern themselves, and - in some cases - for assistance in defending themselves and throwing off oppressive regimes. But the galaxy is a big place, and many of the races in it aren’t friendly. Would these forces like to take over Salvage System and acquire its resources? Absolutely. Fifteen incredible authors take you further into the Salvage Title universe, giving you a glimpse at some of the beacons of hope and some of the malevolence that has yet to show its face. Can Harmon Tomeral and his friends hold out against it? Listen and find out! With stories by: Kevin Steverson Chris Kennedy Christopher Woods Kevin Ikenberry Robert E. Hampson Van Allen Plexico Ian J. Malone Marisa Wolf Quincy J. Allen John G. Hartness KC Johnston Alex Rath David Alan Jones Mark Wandrey Brad R. Torgersen
